Review from Sharon (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 August 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Dad was at Bridge House receiving palliative care for four weeks after hospital discharge. The nursing floor had only just opened and there were about six residents at the time. The staff were very caring and attentive. They would chat with Dad, feed and give drinks when required and make sure his
music was on. Most of the main meals were frozen ready meals but a lot of puddings were made in-house. The resident nurses were very good and soon got to know Dad.


There were a few teething problems, such as issues in re-ordering medications and unfortunately some agency nurses filling staffing gaps which can be unsettling for residents. He also received clothes back from the laundry which were not his. Bearing in mind this Company already have homes in North Yorkshire this was surprising.


The building is beautifully decorated, with a lot of facilities. The security was very good.


Overall, I would recommend the home and hopefully, the teething issues are just that and have been sorted out.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been in Bridge House since the day it opened and the care and attention she is given is second to none. When she arrived she could not walk, now she is walking having her hair and nails done and having a laugh with staff and is a lot happier. I can only thank the staff and management for
their expert care that makes my Mum's life happier, and also mine.

Review from Patricia W (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved into Bridge House Care Home on April 9th. The changes in her were immediate and remarkable - she is much more alert; she is engaging with and responding to all those caring for her; she is engaging with her stimulating environment; she is able, with assistance, to stand and take a few
steps. These are wonderful things for me to witness. My mother is very, very happy.
The owners, management and all care staff are committed to delivering high-quality care. It is clear that they have a vision of what care for the elderly should be and they are determined to deliver it. There is openness with relatives. I feel that I can talk to the staff about anything to do with my mother's care.
The activities organised are beneficial for the residents' well being. My mother enjoyed an outing last weekend with two other residents and carers. The fresh air and change of scene did all of us a power of good.
The home is beautiful, peaceful, yet stimulating. My mother loves her new room.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.812)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.812) out of 10 for Bridge House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.812 for Bridge House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (390 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 451 Ratings = 4.812
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bridge House Care Home is based on 37 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, which has been reached with 37 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
