Thank you for your lovely review, it is appreciated.
Mum has been at Bridgedale for 5 years. She has had excellent care and the carers give her love and comfort as her dementia has worsened. They go to a lot of trouble to decorate themed events and the food always looks delicious. I would not hesitate to recommend Bridgedale.

I can echo all the very positive comments made about Bridgedale. Last summer, my wife was reaching an advanced stage of Alzheimers and I had reached the point where I could no longer care for her at home. Searching for a suitable dementia care home was a real eye opener and after two visits to eleven homes, Bridgedale emerged as by far the most impressive in terms of the wonderfully caring and happy atmosphere, the very positive interactions between staff and residents and the very good facilities - a true community spirit. Being an older building with very interesting features helps to make Bridgedale a real home and it is clear that is how the residents feel about Bridgedale.
My wife died after just 4.5 months in Bridgedale and so the last five weeks were devoted to end of life care. With the support of the home GP and the district nursing team, the staff were exceptional in terms of the care and respect shown to my wife, to myself and my family. Thank you Bridgedale.
Thank you for your kind and heartfelt words. It was a privilege to care for her and to support you and your family during such an important time.
My dad has now been at Bridgedale for 17 months. From being a man who would 'never go into a care home', he is so settled and happy. He talks of the staff as being his family and that is how they treat him. The care is wonderful, not just from the carers but all the staff, cleaners, admin, kitchen....
My dad has now been at Bridgedale for 17 months. From being a man who would 'never go into a care home', he is so settled and happy. He talks of the staff as being his family and that is how they treat him. The care is wonderful, not just from the carers but all the staff, cleaners, admin, kitchen. The residents are celebrated for their individual quirks and nothing is too much to ask. Staff take both health and well being seriously, will always listen to any concerns we have about dad and go over and above to make him comfortable. Visitors are welcomed and looked after.
Thank you so much for your lovely words. It truly means the world to us to know your dad feels happy, settled, and part of the Bridgedale family.

They all went above and beyond and treated Mum with such love, dignity and care, we will be forever grateful for their kindness and compassion. Bridgedale House is a very special place and all the residents are treated as individuals by the staff knowing all their likes, dislikes and personalities.

Bridgedale House is a very special place. Each resident is treated as a unique person, loved, respected and cared for by every member of staff. The home is full of smiles and happy laughter and Mum settled in well. Friends and relatives are welcomed and supported 24/7 and are treated as part of the wider Bridgedale family. Standards are exceptionally high and the ethos of kindness and care, which is immediately obvious on entering the home, comes directly from the managers, who are friendly, approachable and responsive. Rooms are nicely decorated and furnished; the food is excellent and the programme of activities, which changes monthly, is amazing, providing fun, stimulation, exercise and lots of treats. There is a lovely garden which the residents can enjoy on nice days; visits to local parks and museums are also arranged. Communication with families is also first-class and there is a private social media page where we can see photographs of Mum having the time of her life.
Thank you for your kind words, we truly appreciate your feedback.
All the Staff are so kind and caring to residents and relatives. It is always a real pleasure to visit.
