My sincere gratitude to Bridgeway Care Home for the dedication and professionalism with which they care not only for my brother but for all the residents. Every day, they demonstrate extraordinary humanity by offering not only assistance but also warmth, affection, and dignity to those who rely on them.Bridgeway

Every time we visit we're met with smiles and welcomes from everyone.This is THE best place our daughter has ever lived in for the care and variety of interests and most importantly the cleanliness and dedication of the staff. The whole place is spotless and there's always some member of staff cleaning

when we arrive unannounced. Our daughter is well looked after which gives us complete piece of mind.

Overall Experience

Our daughter has been at Bridgeway for 3 years and has received care and attention to the highest standard..despite some difficult times with our daughter's behaviour, the staff have addressed her issues calmly, with patience and kindness which approach has helped her through her difficulties.
Staff

are cheerful, smiley and have good relationships with our daughter..there is a lot of banter and positive approach.
There are activities going on all week with special events throughout the months..these keep our daughter engaged and sociable..I cannot speak too highly of the management who run Bridgeway in an inclusive manner to the benefit of all the residents whatever their abilities.
Our daughter is settled and happy at Bridgeway.

Overall Experience

My nephew was struggling with coming out of his room and joining in at the care home. We could see that his mental health was declining.
After a meeting with staff and owner, a plan of action was put in place. Within days he had completely changed his mind.
The staff had encouraged him to make choices

about his daily living, they supported him in making friends and joining in with activities. He has his own designated space in the community room where he can play music and have visitors and where other residents can sit with him. He is a changed person, now enjoying all the regular activities, making friends and going out in the minibus on planned trips is his favourite thing to do.
Overall the home is lively, welcoming and well organised. Residents needs appear to be met, staff are friendly and work well together to ensure residents are well looked after and safe. Families are encouraged to come in and join in with activities and meet each other.
A home to be recommended.

Overall Experience

Bridgeway is the best care home I have ever seen. From the owners to management and staff everyone is totally dedicated to the care and wellbeing of the residents and each other. This is the only care home where we are able to go on holiday and not worry about my brother.
Residents are encouraged

to live the best life they can within their capabilities. From entering Bridgeway you feel the happiness and caring immediately. Everyone is smiling and happy to answer questions. My brother had come from a home where he was neglected both physically and financially. The care team under the managers management have helped to build my brothers confidence and trust little by little which has given my brother a new lease of life. We truly believe they have saved his life.
If it were up to me the would be given the highest accolade possible.

Overall Experience

Bridgeway should be used as the care home others should strive to be. If every care home was run the same way social care in this country would be the best in the world.
From the manager down to the newest staff recruit the staff have one goal in life and that is to ensure their residents have the

best life possible.
Each resident is treated with the greatest care and respect as are staff members , relatives and other visitors. The level of service and care provided at Bridgeway is by far the best i have ever seen. My brother is 56 and has been in care since he was 21 so I've seen a few.
Every resident is happy ,content, relaxed and stress free.
There are lots of organised activities within the home each week but also lots of things arranged to ensure residents can fully interact with the outside world.
The standards set at Bridgeway are the way every care home should be striving for.

My mum moved into Holywell Bridgeway last year. She has been here 6 months now and I honestly cannot fault this home in any type of way. Each and every one of the staff here are truly amazing. They are kind, caring and very passionate about what they do. Holywell Bridgeway brings so much to the care

home not only for their residents but for families too. They love to get residents' families involved in many different events and activities which I think is brilliant, it's nice to be involved in things which make it feel like our home too. I couldn't have found a better care home for my mum to live.

Overall Experience

In January 2024 our family made the difficult decision to place our sister in a care home after 33 years of being cared for by family in her own home.
My husband and I had spent hours researching care homes and accommodation which could meet our sister's needs, Holywell Bridgeway Care Home was the

only care home in Preston with outstanding reviews, glowing CQC reports and a sense of family that we were looking for.
My sister has been there for over 2 months now, and she has settled in so well. The staff care so much and everyone goes above and beyond for her and our family.
The activities they arrange really do get everyone involved, our children love coming and joining in.
The staff and residents really do make an effort to make you feel welcome, it really does emphasise a sense of community that other care homes don't have.
In terms of care for our sister, we couldn't ask for anything more. Her care is individualised, patient-centred centred and holistic. It has really put our minds at ease.

Overall Experience

My sister was given a place at Holywell Bridgeway in February. My whole family have nothing but positive things to say about all of the staff, this is the first time she has been in a residential care home which made us quite apprehensive at first but after a few weeks, she has really settled in.
The

registered manager has been nothing short of amazing during these first two months, there has been a totally comprehensive care plan laid out and systems put in place to ensure nothing gets missed on a daily basis.
The staff are all lovely and extremely professional, my sister seems very well cared for. Nothing ever seems too much for the staff and they will always go out of their way to ensure that my sister is happy and well cared for.
There are always activities happening, one of our favourites is family Bingo which is a monthly event that we all love.
All in all, Holywell Bridgeway is a fantastically inclusive home and we couldn’t wish for a better bunch looking after our sister.
