This is an outstanding good care home. I visit several times a week for more than a year, my husband is happy here. He has dietary issues which are well catered for most of the time and they listen to my input, He has a good appetite. No home can be perfect and occasionally the laundry loses/misplaces
his clothes which are all name labelled but generally they turn up, everything is beautifully ironed. The activity co-ordinators work extremely hard in what is a really challenging job, as do all of the staff. Very welcoming environment. Excellent.

Reply from Hitesh Patel, Managing Director at Saintbridge House Nursing & Residential Home

Thank you so much for your very kind words. I will look into the Laundry situation for you but glad everything turns up eventually! We endeavour to continually improve our choice of gluten free options and we hope you will keep feeding back to us on how we are doing. I will pass on your kind words to all our team.

The feeling Saintbridge gives you is that of a family.
When visiting I was always made welcome and given all the help and support I needed.
Mum was always treated with kindness and respect.
The quality of the activities and entertainment was excellent and all the residents that could were encouraged
to take part.
I would recommend Saintbridge House unreservedly.

My father-in-law has mixed dementia. He was moved from a Psychiatric ward to Saintbridge, the move was seamless. All Staff are warm, welcoming, friendly, approachable, professional, respectful, conscientious and hardworking. They work together as a well led cohesive team. All staff are valued and respected.
I am particularly touched by the respect they have for residents, ensuring each of them can maintain their own level of self-respect. Daily enriching activities provided are outstanding. Many opportunities for us to join in if we wish. The social media page and group chat enable me to see all the fun and keep in touch with what is going on. All this is supported by a fabulous food menu and daily care routine. There is a large garden, well maintained with different areas to walk around and explore as well as relax in. I am overwhelmed by the care provided and cannot thank all the staff enough for making it such a special place for my father-in-law to live in, I now feel at ease and happy.

My husband stayed at Saintbridge House from July 2023 until December 2023 when he was then admitted back into hospital. He was really well looked after by all the staff during his stay there. They were all extremely kind, caring and friendly to my husband, myself and our friends who visited him. There
was always a happy atmosphere there. We couldn't fault it at all. We are looking forward to being able to return to the home to see everybody, once he is well enough to do so!

Thank you for your kind words which I will share with all the team. Yes, we would all love to see Colin, come and visit us as soon as you can. Give us notice and I will get the Cook to make him the Curry he enjoyed!

We rang not knowing what to do as Mum was in hospital and wanted to get out as quickly as possible. Straight away the team were very caring and helpful and Mum was out of the hospital quickly to her benefit. And with their support, Mum recovered a lot faster and was soon home with Dad. Would always
recommend it from our experience.

I would like to say a very big thank you to all at Saintbridge who cared for my mother over the last two and a half years. I really appreciate the care that was shown to Mum by all of the staff - each and every one of them were fantastic with her. Also what a fantastic job one staff member in particular
does, myself and all the family loved seeing the photos put on social media of Mum having a lovely time, joining in with activities and going out for lunch or day’s out to the seaside. Also she was there giving the family support in the last few hours of Mum’s life. At some point in the near future I will be in touch with you about putting a Memorial bench in your garden so that other residents can sit and enjoy the lovely flowers and garden as she did. Many thanks. Kind regards.

Reply from Hitesh Patel, Managing Director at Saintbridge House Nursing & Residential Home

Thank you so much for your lovely words about all the staff at Saintbridge. Which I will share with all. We loved looking after your mother. She will be missed. The bench sounds a wonderful idea. Please let us know when you are ready.

I would just like to say a huge thank you to all of the staff at Saintbridge for the care that gave to support my sister in the last weeks of her life. Their care and compassion were beautiful to watch, in a situation where as a family you could feel quite helpless.
Thanks to you all.

It’s hard to adequately describe the brilliance of the team that makes this home so exceptional. Dad was a resident for only five weeks, but it was such a positive experience. He spent his final night and day here after a short hospital stay, and the calmness and care over that 24 hours will stay with
us forever, and we will be forever thankful that the home was so accommodating, making it happen. The whole team are amazing, whatever role they undertake, management, clinical team, care team, catering and cleaning. Thank you, Saintbridge.

From my first visit and first impressions, Saintbridge has been brilliant.
The facilities are safe, practical and clean, but it’s the people who make the real difference.
Everyone is so helpful, supportive and friendly, and they go out of their way to provide an environment above and beyond expectations.
Definitely recommend it to my family and friends.

Both my mother and my aunt spent their final years living under the care of Saintbridge House. The care they both received was excellent, and they were treated with dignity and respect by the caring and professional staff. Whenever I visited, I found the surroundings to be clean and beautifully decorated,
and the residents were often engaged in interesting activities. There was lots of stimulation to keep the residents entertained. They celebrated many different festivals and special occasions and shared photos of all the activities for relatives to see. This meant a lot to me as I live far away and was keen to know that my relatives were happy. The staff were also very good at communicating with myself and my sister.
I can’t thank the staff enough for giving us peace of mind at a very difficult time in our relatives’ lives. Both Mum and Aunty had dementia in addition to other medical needs, and I feel that they were made to feel happy and secure in the Home.

Saintbridge House is excellent. There is always a relaxed and very calm atmosphere in the home. The management team are amazing; they are caring, helpful and professional. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They are easily available to answer any questions. My dad is a resident and is very well cared
for by all the staff, who have built up a good relationship with him. They are so caring to the residents and their families. The standard of care that is provided is outstanding. I highly recommend Saintbridgr House to anyone looking for a caring, loving home for their loved ones.

My sister has been in Saintbridge House for approximately four years, and I have always found the carers, all staff and conditions in the home to be of a very good standard. Everybody is very caring, and I am always notified of any problems/difficulties affecting my sister. I would definitely recommend
Saintbridge House to anybody needing care facilities, as I think it is one of the best care homes available in this area.

My mother was a resident from June 22nd until November 23rd, when she passed. Whilts a resident, my mother received exemplary care in the last months of her life. All members of staff are very friendly and caring to the residents and families alike whilst maintaining a professional standard. Nothing
was too much trouble ever.

My brother and I looked for a suitable home for mum and we chose Saintbridge House Nursing & Residential Home due to the fact it was spotlessly clean, well decorated and had very competent, friendly staff to cover all of its residents' requirements. My mother was welcomed into the home in June 2019
as she was struggling at home and was very confused and lonely. She was very upset having to leave her home but the staff made her very welcome. Within a week Mum had settled in and very quickly blossomed. All the concerns and frustration she had prior to entering the home disappeared. Mum had very bright and cheeky personality and became quite a celebrity in the home. The home has regular activities with visiting vocal artists to keep the residents happy. During Mum's last few weeks we were allowed in to see her any time. This was an incredibly difficult time but all of the staff could not have been kinder and we will be forever grateful to all that Saintbridge house staff did for our dear Mum.

The staff are wonderful, welcoming and helpful, backed up by an excellent Manager with medical qualifications and a fabulously helpful support staff. This home is a breath of fresh air, the decor, the ambience, the homeliness, the colours and wall decorations, the light, the cleanliness and the accommodations
are second to none. This home should be rated Excellent for both its facilities and its standard of care. I can wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who is searching for a special home for a loved one, having been there at all hours before and after work, during the day, quite late in the evening and most of the weekends. Everyone will go above and beyond to assist and to care for the residents - the compassion and love shown by staff is very moving. I have every faith in Saintbridge, both now in these difficult times and going forward and feel very blessed that my dear mother is a resident, albeit very noisy and active some days! I am so looking forward to visiting again.

Although my father was a resident here only for the last few months of his life, the care and medical attention he received during this time was excellent.
It was most impressive the way the staff took time simply to talk to him and constantly check on his state and requirements.
The environment
was modern, light, friendly and extremely clean, with a range of communal areas and well-equipped individual rooms with en suite bathrooms, as well as attractive views over the gardens.
Doctors and dentists were quickly called in as required. My father´s medical state was carefully monitored, and immediate steps are taken if necessary. Every attempt was made by all the staff to make him feel as comfortable as possible at all times. Both the staff and management were always available to provide information and discuss his situation.
This professionally run care home deserves the highest recommendation.

Absolutely fantastic home. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a nursing or residential home for their loved one.
The first thing you notice when you walk in is that all the staff are smiling and don't look rushed off their feet. You are always greeted politely and more importantly,
with a smile!
The next thing you notice is that there is always a pleasant smell throughout the care home, unlike some other homes that I have visited in Gloucester.
Care staff, nursing staff and the cleaners and kitchen staff, as well as the management, are always approachable and we are always kept fully updated about our uncle.
An "Outstanding" home - keep up the good work!

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.957)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.957) out of 10 for Saintbridge House Nursing & Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.957 for Saintbridge House Nursing & Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 116 Ratings = 4.957

  • b) 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 Saintbridge House Nursing & Residential Home is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
