One of the things that made such a difference was the food. On the very day he arrived, he was asked what he would like to eat. Having hardly eaten during his time in hospital, being offered a choice of good, freshly prepared food was exactly what he needed. With an excellent chef on site, he was soon eating well again and, as a family, we could see his strength gradually building.
What stood out to us was not only his determination to regain his strength, but also the incredible love and support of his family. The...

Due to the fact that my husband had a fall and suffered a brain injury, we came to The Bridles earlier than expected. I was among the first residents when the home opened & my husband was admitted when discharged from hospital. Overall, I am quite satisfied, although we could do with some more staff (Kitchen & caring), those that there are most helpful. The layout of rooms is very good, especially access to the grounds - the main reason we chose Bridles.
Thank you for your lovely words. It is an absolute pleasure having you here with us. We always enjoy seeing you and your friends together, especially when serving your G&T before dinner and helping make those moments special. We look forward to many more happy times together.

Moving my mother into The Bridles was one of the most difficult decisions our family has had to make, but from the very beginning we have been reassured that she is in the best possible hands. The entire team, both administrative and nursing, have been exceptional. They are caring, compassionate, professional and genuinely take the time to engage with both residents and their families. Communication is excellent, and I am always kept informed about my mother's care, which gives me complete confidence and peace of mind. The home itself is bright, airy and spotlessly clean. The facilities are state of the art, the bedrooms are spacious and beautifully fitted out, and the food is of a very high standard. Whenever I visit often without notice, I am always greeted with a warm welcome, and it is clear that residents are treated with kindness, dignity and respect. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Bridles to anyone looking for a safe, caring and supportive home for a loved one.

I joined the Bupa family in early 2024. I’m proud to be the Home Manager here at The Bridles, and I’m really looking forward to getting the home up and running and getting to know people in the local community.
Before moving into the care sector, I worked in retail management, but it was when I supported my sister — who managed a small family-run care home — that I truly saw how meaningful and impactful care work can be. Watching the team make such a difference to residents and their families inspired me to take my career in a completely new direction.
I began as a night care assistant, completed my NVQs, and progressed through senior care, head of care, deputy manager and eventually home manager. Over the years, I’ve managed a variety of homes — from small independents to more complex services needing significant change — and I’ve commissioned five new homes before joining Bupa.
What I love most about working in care is the difference we can make every single day. It’s often the small moments that mean the most. Every resident brings a lifetime of stories, and it’s a privilege to be part of that. Teamwork is at the heart of everything we do, and with almost 20 years in the sector, I bring a wide range of experience (and plenty of lessons learned) to my role.
Outside of work, I enjoy scale modelling and dancing. My wife and I love the rock ’n’ roll live music scene and have taken many dance classes together. We’ve been married for over 35 years, and we have two grown daughters — one a nurse and the other close to qualifying as a paramedic. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find us dancing the night away!

I joined Bupa in 2026 and stepped straight into my role as Customer Relationship Manager here at The Bridles. My journey into the care sector actually began long before that, on a personal level. When my mum needed support, I started visiting care homes to understand what options were available for her. What I discovered genuinely surprised me — modern, welcoming environments with dedicated, highly trained teams who truly care about the people they support. It felt worlds away from the outdated perceptions of care, and much more like a home from home.
That experience stayed with me and inspired me to build a career in the sector. I’m passionate about helping families find the right care solutions and building trusted, long-term relationships with the people who come to us.
What I enjoy most about working in care services is the chance to make a real and meaningful difference every single day. Often, it’s the little things that matter most — taking the time to listen, offering reassurance, or helping someone feel more comfortable and at ease. Knowing that the work we do adds value to the lives of residents and their families is incredibly rewarding, and it’s what motivates me every day.
I live locally to The Bridles. Outside of work, I enjoy playing golf, listening to music, and simply making the most of time with my family. For me, connection and community are important in every aspect of life — personally and professionally — and I feel very lucky to bring those values into my work here at The Bridles.
