A very pleasant atmosphere, caring staff. Plenty of activities and outings. The food seems good. Rooms excellent. If you are considering Bridgwater Manor for your relative, you cannot go far wrong. Parking is also available on-site.

Our mum was looking forward to her second respite stay at Bridgewater Manor. She looks so well during her stay. She is very happy, the staff are happy and we as a family are happy. We can have a family holiday and have peace of mind and reassurance that Mum is being cared for and looked after to a very
high standard. We would have no hesitation in recommending Bridgewater Manor.

Bridgewater Manor Care Centre, is an outstanding home. My mum has been here since February. She has settled in well and has made great progress with her recovery from neurosurgery, following a brain aneurysm. She has received fantastic care from all staff. The staff are extremely caring and compassionate.
Communication with the family and involving Mum in her care, is fantastic. A beautiful home, offering excellent care. Thank you.

Thank you very much for this review, Maria. It is an absolute pleasure looking after your mum and seeing her progress. Your mum and the team, love your visits.

We arranged a lunch with my mother which was wonderful. There were seven guests and the staff made us very welcome and the food was delicious. It was a memorable day that we will always look back on with happiness. (two guests were home from New Zealand and I from Paris)

Well, what can I say! My dad's last four weeks of life were made safe, comfortable and absolutely wonderful by the incredibly caring girls and boys in Bridgewater Manor. We as a family can't thank them enough. Nothing was too much trouble. When Dad passed away, all the staff walked by his coffin's side
to the funeral director's ambulance. We couldn't have asked for more.
Reply from Lisa Astley, Home Manager at Bridgewater Manor Care Centre

It was an absolute pleasure caring for your dad in his last few weeks of life. Your support and trust in us is much appreciated.

Review from Maria M (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum spent 9-days at Bridgewater Manor Care Centre for respite. She loved the people who looked after her and the residents that she made friends with. She felt like a member of the family and felt that her opinions and suggestions mattered, one idea was put on a notice board with her name next to it.
The team she said made time to listen, sit and talk and nothing was too much trouble. The facilities were as outstanding as the care, activities, meals and treats' she enjoyed. She danced, sang and smiled which was a joy to see and hear about. The stay exceeded our expectations with Easter crafts, dancing and a day out. A relaxing bath, something she hasn’t done for 25-years. All wonderful experiences and treasured moments. She has already told us that she would love to go back. I was equally impressed with the ease of arranging the stay and interaction with the managers and team. I know now my Mum was and will be in safe hands.

The home is warm and welcoming. Easily accessible. No 'no-go' areas. The service provided is bespoke and five stars! The decor is classy and relaxing. Very tasteful. Meals are bespoke, homecooked, tasty and appetising. I am so happy my friend has the care, attention and respect she deserves. Thank you,

I cannot speak highly enough of this care centre. My father came from a five-week stay in hospital to Bridgewater Manor. He has had superb care from nurses, carers and all staff. Dad has complex needs and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The care centre is currently closed due to a covid outbreak,
but I am allowed daily, half-hour visits, which I am really grateful for. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.732)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.732) out of 10 for Bridgewater Manor Care Centre 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 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 4.817 for Bridgewater Manor Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.817
  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 4.915 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bridgewater Manor Care Centre is based on 13 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 71 registered maximum number of service users is 14.2. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.2 = 0.915
  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.

Kristian Hope

Job Title: Deputy Manager

I have worked in the care sector for over 17 years however I have been brought up around a care home environment since I was a child and it has always been a passion and something I have enjoyed. Before joining New Care I had worked at an EMI residential care setting for 16 years, I started in the kitchen when I was 15 then when I was able to I took on the role of care assistant eventually becoming deputy manager for 9 years of my time there, this is when I gained my Level 5 in management.


Joining Newcare was a massive leap for me however one that I do not regret in the slightest, it is a great company to work for, the home is beautiful and the team are fantastic. My passion is dementia care as I have personal experience caring for my nan and grandad through their dementia journey. I feel very strongly that we should support our special people to live their life well and they should be cared for at the highest standard, with dignity and respect at the forefront of everything we do. I like to go above and beyond for the residents, relatives and team creating a happy and loving environment for everyone to enjoy.

Job Title: Home Trainer

I have a background in care that spans 22 years, from starting off in a care home as a cleaner (to see if I thought I could do a care assistant role) to then working at the Royal Bolton Hospital in the surgical ward for a number of years. I have experience in domiciliary care and the last few years my background has been in training staff for work in a care setting. I recently came to work at Bridgewater Manor as a Team Leader on the floor that supports our residents who are in various stages of their journey with Dementia.


I am very proud to say that I am now the home trainer for Bridgewater Manor. It is such a rewarding role and New Care is a fabulous company to work for.
