The Bridge is nearing its first anniversary and it has been an amazing year. My mum has received first-class care and in a first-class home. Her family have been able to enjoy with her some of the many events and social occasions and, in particular, attended Buckingham Palace with her and the team -
a priceless memory. The Bridge offers exemplary services and I couldn't have wished for anything more.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The personal care my dad received on 8 January was exceptional, when being discharged from hospital, a member of staff came to collect him. This meant that Dad didn't have to wait hours on a trolley in a chilly makeshift ward for transport back to The Bridge Care Home. It also meant that we could start
our journey back to Oxfordshire knowing dad was safe. Then on our visit on 11th January, I witnessed the most dignified personal care, when Dad needed support in the bathroom. The staff member, was kind, patient, reassuring, not only to Dad but to myself. On both occasions, it felt that the care wasn't just for Dad, but also for myself, which is so reassuring to know Dad is receiving the best possible professional care, even when he is being difficult. Thank you to all of the team.

My Mother moved in October from another care home in Salisbury. After not a very good experience we were very worried history would repeat itself, however, Mum being at The Bridge has given Mum a new lease of life. The home is an excellent place for Mum, the staff are friendly and helpful and always
smiling and happy, as a family we are very happy with the choice we made and hope Mum enjoys many more years to come.

I think the staff are amazing. They go out of their way to help. My aunt is very happy and well looked after. Every time we come to see my aunt we are treated as part of the family. There are so many things my aunt can do (arts and crafts). They also take them on outings.

Very impressed with all the staff at the home in their varied duties from management to cleaning staff. The home is well organised, clean and clearly signposted to the various facilities and rooms. Have eaten there twice and food/service have been excellent. All the staff are considerate, caring and

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My cousin moved in at very very short notice. My cousin was made welcome. Moving happened quicker than we thought. It was not a problem for the staff, everything was sorted with no problems. The staff are excellent and the care has been amazing. They have helped my cousin settle in. The rooms are lovely.
The residents are great, they all get on well. Their families take notice of the residents and talk to them. So your loved ones are not left with no one to talk to. It's so friendly, the carers are brilliant with the residents. We were so lucky to find this home. I now have my sister and cousin both in there and happy. Thank you to everyone.

The team at The Bridge has shown my mother great compassion. Their experience with dementia sufferers has been crucial to improving her wellbeing. We feel relief that she is safe and being cared for by such an excellent team - from the managers to the carers to the staff in the bistro, on reception
and behind the scenes. Communication with family is always forthcoming. The activities offered are wonderful. The Bridge team truly understands community.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Bridge Care Home has been the perfect place for my nan over the past few months. Every member of staff is so lovely and caring and nothing is ever too much. They have so much patience and their caring nature shines through in everything they do. I am amazed by the excellent customer service that
is shown by the workers. The support and kindness they all offer makes each day brighter for the residents and for their families who visit. Not only has my nan been in The Bridge for the past few months, but also my mum has spent some repite time in there following a hip replacement. The incredible service and love and care they have both received during their stays is something we will always be thankful for as a family. So much gratitude for everything you have done. Special thank you to the deputy manager and home manager, who have been absolute stars to both my mum and my nan. Couldn't ask for anything more. Those girls have such loving natures. Thank you!

Hi everyone, just wanted to say how happy and satisfied to see my sister in such an environment of care and well-being. My sister is enjoying her time here so much and myself and the rest of the family share the same views. All your staff and management are very professional and caring. As a former
manager and concierge in the public sector, I give you 10/10. Special thanks to two staff members in particular for their service at my sister's birthday meal.

Dad was really well looked after by the staff while he was there for respite. Immaculate, clean, comfortable and safe environment was like being on holiday. The friendly, caring staff went above and beyond to meet Dad's needs and make his stay both restful and enjoyable. There was a full range of fun
and engaging activities provided appropriate to clients' needs, as well as services such as spa, gym, salon and bistro. I would highly recommend The Bridge Care Home to anyone looking for temporary or long-term care. Thank you so much for taking good care of Dad.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.954)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.954) out of 10 for The Bridge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 63 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 63 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 4.954 for The Bridge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (706 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 737 Ratings = 4.954
  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 The Bridge Care Home is based on 63 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, which has been reached with 63 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.
