Review from Debbie G (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 July 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Very poor service. My dad was not looked after properly. We would often go visit him to see him covered in bruises which staff and management could not explain. He didn’t even have a proper mattress which we only noticed when looking for his glasses in his bed. His bed was made but when we pulled the duvet over it was soaking wet and all he had was 3 pieces of foam as a mattress, then one time they sent my dad to hospital, agitated due to dementia, no staff with him and I was told not to worry if he starts wandering in the A&E reception, staff will have to look after him. I was in tears with this and raced to the hospital where we sat for 4 hours for the doctor to then say we will have to admit your dad even though he was fine, as the care home told the doctor my dad wasn’t welcome back to Bridge House. The list goes on, I have lots of photos, messages and video proof of lots more neglect. We did get my dad moved from here to a wonderful care home whom, as with the hospital, was shocked at the condition of Dad.

Reply from Mike Higginson, Operations Manager at Bridge House Care Home
We would like to thank Debbie for her review of her father's experience in August 2021, we apologise wholeheartedly.

This experience coincided with a CQC inspection which was massively disappointing for the organisation and caring staff team who worked and continue to work here. As a provider, we...

Review from Lorraine S (Day Care Service User) published on 23 December 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Super happy with the new daycare. Bridge House Care Home recently re-opened its doors. My dad attended before covid twice a week and was there the first day open, now happily back to his two days a week. The daycare part of the care home is separate and is a very roomy area including good cooking facilities. Everywhere is safe and extremely well equipped with interesting things for all the various skill levels. All the staff really care and interact well with attendees the staff also work very well together as a team, certainly always putting the daycare attenders needs first. The care team seem to have a very good, varied, well thought out, interesting program of things for the attenders to do. I would recommend Daycare at Bridge House to anyone, It delivers a very high standard of care, the staff are amazingly caring and it is extremely good value for money including breakfast dinner and tea. A massive thank you to all the staff working there.

Review from Miriam H (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 April 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mum had been at this home previously for respite care and I was very impressed with the top quality in terms of care, professionalism, cleanliness and beautiful surroundings but most importantly the dedication and care of all the staff. I knew that when the time came for us to choose a care home for long term care this would be the home I would choose.
My mum has been here now since February and has been offered a long term placement with 24 hour care.
I am confident that she is getting the best care and attention and even though times are very difficult at the moment with the Coronavirus and we cannot visit her the staff keep us updated every day and we can speak to my mum on the phone regularly.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Bridge House care home and believe it’s the best home in this area.

Overall Experience

I have never seen a more caring, thoughtful, creative and down right fantastic care home! The staff are great and the place is very very well looked after! But the best and most important thing is how happy and entertained the residents always look! From garden projects, to singers, dancers, games, films, they have thought of everything! Even a daily telegram with info on from an event in the past. I honestly think this place is amazing! And I love their social media page with a chance to see my Grandma! I love knowing what she’s up to a on almost daily basis! Highly recommend!

Overall Experience

My Dad has been a resident at Bridge House for 18 months and he has been extremely well cared for since his arrival. The home itself is immaculate - very modern facilities and furnishings - feels more like a hotel than a care home. The staff are always pleasant and keen to help my Dad with anything he needs. They always have a smile on their face and deal with everything in an efficient manner. The activities are organised well with something taking place every day. I would definitely recommend Bridge House to anyone looking for a clean, safe environment for their loved ones.

Review from Sally L (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum was in the care of Bridge House for just over 4 months. It was apparent after a few days of her being there we knew she was going to be given the care and attention she deserved. The staff were brilliant and Mum was treated with kindness and respect. She enjoyed her meals sat with the other residents in the lovely dining room and she enjoyed socialising and made new friends. She also loved the view from her room window and enjoyed looking out. In her final weeks, she was cared for extremely well, with the dignity she deserved. We cannot thank the staff at Bridge House enough for the help and support they gave us through a very difficult time.

Review from Scott M (Son of Resident) published on 8 November 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Bridge House is excellent, not only is the building of hotel quality but our family was impressed with the high standard of care provided to our family member. Staff were efficient, supportive and professional. The activities were relevant and publicised weekly. The meals appeared lovely and choices on the displayed menus. Thanks to all involved in the home for ensuring our family was safe and looked after.

The only criticism would be the door entry system was out of service so, at times, a longer wait when the office staff had left for the door, the staff, however, dealt with our issues promptly.

Overall Experience

As a family, we were very happy with Bridge House. Mum spent just over 4 months there and the care she received was very good. In her first few months, she gained confidence and became good friends with other residents. She spent her final weeks being extremely well cared for and we valued having people around us that knew us well and could support us.

Overall Experience

I visited my friend regularly whilst in Bridge House Care Home and I was instantly greeted by the most caring, helpful and kind staff that do an amazing job, day in day out, treating my friend with such dignity. Nothing was too much for them and I found it so lovely that the staff had taken the time to get to know my friend and her hobbies and interests and how she told me that they took her up to the rooftop garden every day so she could listen to the birds, she always did love them. Such a beautiful home with beautiful staff. I couldn't recommend Bridge House anymore, they really did a fantastic job! Thank you.

Review from A B (Wife of Resident) published on 24 September 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
It was not easy to put my husband into care. Now he is settled at Bridge House.
He enjoys the food which is varied, well prepared and presented. I notice that if residents are not able to come to the day room to eat a carer takes a tray to their rooms and if necessary helps them to eat there. I know care is taken to ensure each gets food to their liking.
All the staff are friendly, caring and helpful to residents and family. They are patient and gentle with residents, some of whom have very varied needs and some can be difficult at times.
The manager and ancillary staff are always available, approachable and helpful.
The staff have asked about his earlier life, work and hobbies etc. So they can talk to him about his interests. There are activities each day for those bale to take an active part. I know that those less able to 'do' and activity are still involved as much as possible.
The whole building is clean and well presented. We have made good use of the room gardens during this summer weather.
We are very pleased with the overall support and care he has received since he has been here knowing he is well looked after gives us much comfort and reassurance.

I strongly recommend Bridge House.

Overall Experience
Dad moved into Bridge House in February after an extended period in hospital.
Whilst there, he was treated with kindness and respect by the wonderful, helpful and friendly staff - nothing was too much trouble for them.
Although Dad was in a wheelchair, it did not prevent the staff from making sure he was involved in all the activities and at mealtimes, he would enjoy sitting with other residents around the dining table in the lovely day room.
The attention to detail at Bridge House is amazing, it feels like a five star hotel, all the rooms are spotless with beautiful modern furnishings - it really is stunning, however, it is the staff that makes this such a lovely place to stay.
We were always made so welcome - when asking about visiting times I was told “whenever you like” - visits to Dad were always most enjoyable.

Unfortunately, Dad passed away in June, again the staff were so caring - they dealt with everything professionally and compassionately during those last few difficult days.

My Mother has just spent a week on respite care at Bridge House and she has really enjoyed her stay. The staff are very caring and respectful and have a great deal of patience with the residents and visitors alike. Her room was spotless and with modern furnishings and bedding with a lovely ensuite shower room. Mother enjoyed all her meals which are served in a lovely clean dining room with excellent views.

Mother enjoyed her stay so much I have booked her in for two further visits 4 weeks apart and Mother is considering moving in permanently in the future when the time feels right.

Review from Anne S (Wife of Resident) published on 6 March 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have just successfully admitted my husband for respite into Bridge House Care Home. I really wanted to share my positive, honest experience with future users. We arrived late and the manager was leaving, she noticed us arriving and came straight over and showed us in, she showed us around the home and introduced us to the staff team on duty. She was friendly, kind and courteous, as was every member of the care team we encountered.
Nothing was too much trouble for the manager, despite her being on her way out, she made us drinks, chatted with us about my husband's care needs, answered every question we asked.
I was so impressed! Never have I heard of such a person focused approach, or been met by such a warm individual.

I felt the need to share this on this website as I would like to say thank you to her and the care team, for making a very difficult decision such a positive experience. I cannot express how happy we both are with the service received.

My mother moved into Bridge House last November and the care and attention she has received since moving in have been excellent. She loves her room and the views from the home which are superb. The home is exceptionally clean and very warm and the food is good. Above all, it is the attitude of the staff which moves me to write this review. They are always tremendously positive, always smiling, extremely friendly and really nothing is too much trouble. My mother has settled really well and is very happy at Bridge House.
