Review from L H (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother was resident of Bridge House April 2025 -April 2026. At first she was in very poor health, but with nursing care she made good recovery.
Initially a poor joiner-in, with staff encouragement she became really quite active in the less strenuous of the numerous activities on offer such as animal therapies, crafts, music and would show enthusiasm and interest
in what was coming up and despite being confined to a wheelchair took advantage of quite a few outings.
I have nothing but praise for the politeness and friendliness of all staff I had dealings with. Should I have any questions or concerns I felt well able to approach anyone and if they were unable to fully answer, they made it their business to steer me towards somebody who could. They all seemed prepared to go above and beyond!

Sadly, my mother passed away April 2026, but the care she received right until the end was a credit to all the team at Bridge House.

Overall Experience

My mother has been receiving first class nursing care and support from the whole team at Bridge House. I have nothing but praise for the way they consistently help her to live her best life with kindness, professionalism and compassion. Despite the many challenges of her medical conditions, she is happier at Bridge House than she has been for a long time. The team members go out of their way to understand her needs and wishes, making each day special for her. I know she is in the safest of hands at Bridge House and I thank the whole team for all their kindness, patience and hard work.

Overall Experience

My mother recently relocated to Bridge House from a care home where, as a family, we were unhappy with the standard of care she was recieving. The change in her has been nothing short of incredible. She is noticeably happier, more settled, and I have not seen her smile so much in years. It has been very reassuring for our family to see such a positive transformation. I truly cannot praise the staff enough for their kindness, dedication, and genuine care they show every day.

Review from Norma R (Respite Resident) published on 28 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

General impression for my stay was good. The exception was not having a different option to indicate quality of the food & choice of fluids. The help with the catheter was some what hit & miss so I felt fortunate to have some knowledge myself of it's working. I sadly will add if there was a separate option to comment on food that option would be poor.

Review from Sandra J (Wife of Resident) published on 4 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Due to necessity I desparatley needed respite care for my husband and was reluctant to leave him in the care of others. After visiting several care homes I knew that Bridge House was the place - how lucky I was to find such a place. He was made so welcome I immediately felt love and care from all. Time has past with my husband having regular respite and daycare at Bridge House it has become our second family. Everyone knows each other and the love and expertise from all staff and a excellant, caring management. The support by all in Bridge House has been amazing for which I am most grateful.

Overall Experience
October has been a month of lots of different and interesting things that Rosemary has been able to join in with. This is the point that there is always during the day something that residents can join in with.
However my mum loves motorbikes and we do take her to Oxford Speedway. Bridge House did a residents wish to go to the motorbike café. The trip was full but the lovely Chantelle found a way that my mum and I could be included. We all had the best time and the cake was yummy.
This is what makes The Bridge House Care Home special - they will always try to go above and beyond for their residents and families.

Thank you x

Review from L E (Niece of Resident) published on 3 November 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My aunt found being in a care home quite traumatic at first but with time and the care and gentle persuasion of the staff she has now settled in. The entertainment programme is varied and well thought out from quizzes, exercise classes and day trips. It also helps to have the same carers most of the time as residents get used to them. As a visitor I find it very welcoming

Overall Experience

My mother has lived here with worsening dementia for over 3 years now. It is a wonderful humane place where they treat residents with respect, care, love and a sense of joy. Nothing is too much trouble. Kindness is in everything each staff member does. There is a real sense of energy and fun. Food is wonderful, family and friends are welcomed and celebrated, premises and grounds wonderfully clean and well maintained, there is a fantastic programme of events and activities, care is considered, appropriate and respectful, nothing is hidden. I could not be more grateful for the staff's tireless smiling efforts every single day.

Review from Gwenda S (Respite Resident) published on 3 February 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My room was ready when I arrived. The meals were all generous portions and nicely served. The lunchtime meals in the bistro were shared with my visiting husband daily, with a granddaughter twice and with my daughter and her husband. All were made to feel welcome. It was useful to have the week's programme and I attended most 11:30 programmes, the afternoon concert and quiz. The keep-fit class was positive and worth attending. The afternoon concert was very entertaining and a high standard. Safety and security, anyone could come in any time.

Wow! This place blows me away. Since my lovely dad arrived in November, he has only received five-star treatment.
I cannot thank each and every staff member enough. Their positive and 'will do' attitude is outstanding.

Seeing my dad with a huge smile on his face is priceless and I will be forever grateful. Thank you Bridge House Care Home from the bottom of my heart.

I have come back for three weeks respite into Bridge House Care Home as I know I will be well looked after and cared for. The nurses and staff look after my every need and get me back to eating properly and ready to go home again.

This is my second time at Bridge House. The home is spotless and well-run. My room is lovely. The staff are all helpful and friendly. Activities every day and plenty of tea and coffee and food. There is a cinema, gym, beauty and hair salon. You could wish for nothing else, it's a happy place.
