Overall Experience

My wife has been a resident in Bridgedale House for the past seven months. The home is beautifully appointed with a home from home feel. The staff are professional and well managed. Most importantly, all concerned are committed and hard-working, looking to ensure the residents as well cared for in a

loving environment. Many interesting and amusing activities are undertaken on a daily/weekly basis. Communication with families is excellent, by email and an informative web page.

Overall Experience

Our mum will celebrate her 100th birthday in December and much of her continuing good health and good spirits is due to the exemplary care she has received during the eight years she has lived at Bridgedale.
Every aspect of the home from the management, day to day care, food, activities and coordination

with the local go practice is outstanding.
The consistently high level of dedicated care provided by the carers is first class and testament to the excellent recruitment and ongoing training of staff at the home.
I cannot recommend Bridgedale too highly.

Overall Experience

If I could give Bridgedale eleven out of ten, I would. My mum was only there for a couple of months before becoming ill and having to move, but the care she received was fantastic. In the days when you were allowed to visit homes in person, we inspected several, all with good CQC ratings, but Bridgedale

was head and shoulders above the others, which is why we waited until a space became available for Mum. It seems to me residential care is a two-way street, primarily and most importantly looking after the person receiving the care, but running a close second is managing the relationship between care home and close relatives and this is a key area in which Bridgedale excels. The management and staff exude confidence and competence and create that unquantifiable feel-good factor. In short, when the time comes for someone close to you to need residential care, Bridgedale is the gold standard, your loved one will, quite literally, be better looked after than you could manage yourself!

My Mum received excellent end of life care in Bridgedale House. The staff are totally dedicated to the care of the residents, anticipating their needs and are extremely flexible in their approach. My Mum was treated with such kindness and dignity which was a huge comfort at a sad time and all the family

felt so well supported. The accommodation is superb and the chefs go over and above to ensure dietary preferences are catered for. We could not have had better care for Mum.

It would be very difficult to find fault with Bridgedale House. The residents are treated with respect and dignity and are genuinely loved by the staff. The choice of food is amazing and the chef really does go the extra mile to tempt smaller appetites. The lounges are bright, airy and spacious. The

staff are warm and friendly to visitors at all times. The managers are always available for a chat or a hug if needed. I have no hesitation in recommending this lovely place.

The staff are incredibly friendly, caring and well-trained and have a real concern for the residents. The team are well led and managed, and work very smoothly together. Relatives are kept well-informed and consulted. During the Coronavirus Pandemic, the commitment of staff in moving in to care for

residents was incredibly selfless and inspiring. This is an excellent, outstanding care home (and I have visited many).

Overall Experience

When you are choosing a care home for your nearest and dearest, it has to be right. Bridgedale House as a care home ticks all the right boxes without exception. I cannot speak highly enough of the way that everyone involved with the running of this home genuinely cares for their residents. In fact,

they're not even viewed as residents, they are treated more like extended family, which is extremely reassuring especially during these unprecedented times. From the very first ad-hoc inspection visit, to present day, all of the staff at Bridgedale have consistently out-performed. I cannot praise their selfless actions and behaviour enough. I couldn't dream of my Mum being cared for anywhere else, she is happy, settled and incredibly well looked after at Bridgedale.

Overall Experience

Recommended by friend whose mother was a resident. Currently in lockdown with 9 staff members resident as described in local media. It says a lot about the staff commitment to their residents. A lovely house with conservatory and accessible gardens. There seem to be activities every day and there is

always a member of staff in the lounge with residents. Friendly atmosphere and staff. A great Christmas celebration with live band thoroughly enjoyed by the residents.
Strong proactive management team. And communication.

Overall Experience

When my brother, sister and myself were looking for a new home for Mum, we were very fortunate that Bridgedale was recommended to us by the family of someone already living there. From our initial visit, to moving Mum in and our subsequent visits we have always found the staff welcoming, friendly and

professional. With the help of all staff, Mum settled in very well and there are plenty of daily activities as well as singing which she loves.
Bridgedale is always clean and the atmosphere here is wonderful. Mums happiness, safety and security are paramount and Bridgedale certainly ticks all the boxes.
During the Coronavirus outbreak, we have had the added reassurance that safety is of utmost importance as staff members have moved in to reduce the risk of infection to all. We could not ask for more. These guys have gone above and beyond and we cannot thank them enough. Amazing place. As a family, we would have no hesitations in recommending Bridgedale.

Overall Experience

Where do I start, my mum was one of the original residents at Bridgedale and has been there for almost 7 years. In all that time the care she has received has been exemplary from the Management, carers, admin staff, kitchen staff, cleaners and everyone involved, I cannot praise them highly enough.

My mum has been bedbound for almost two years and she couldn't have been looked after better. We feel we have always been kept involved in every aspect of her care and someone is always on hand to give advice and a shoulder to cry on when we have needed it.
Even this has been surpassed now though as during the coronavirus lockdown, a team of 9 have moved into the home and will live there for 28 days doing 12-hour shifts, 7 days a week, which I think is above and beyond any of our expectations. We are eternally grateful to them for being mums family in our absence, despite having to leave their own families at home.
I cannot recommend this care home highly enough and send my thanks and love.

My mum moved into Bridgedale House when they first opened. From day 1, the love, care and dedication of all the staff from management to cleaners to the kitchen staff and all the wonderful carers has been unbelievable. The biggest compliment I could ever give is I know there is nowhere else I would

want to care for mum. We were so lucky to find a place with so much love, dedication and most important the sheer professionalism of this care home. Thank you.

Overall Experience

It was a big step to move my mum from her own home with carers into a care home. She settled well and is in excellent spirits. The staff and management at Bridgedale went out of their way to make her feel welcome. All the staff seem to take an interest in my mum as a person. The chef was also keen to

accommodate her individual tastes and portion size, to encourage her to eat. For the first couple of weeks, she thought she was on a cruise. Every time I visit, the home is clean. They are very happy to help facilitate phone calls and video calls as a way of staying in contact. As with any dementia, sometimes my mum has got infections and become dis-regulated, but they have stuck with her and done what they could to help support her during the confused episodes. Now that Covid19 is here, six members of staff, chef and deputy manager have volunteered to move in for four weeks to help keep all the residents safe. What a wonderful example of what is possible in a caring, ‘care home’.

My father has recently moved into Bridgedale and they have made him really welcome. During this difficult time it is great to be able to call via video and to see his picture on the social media site. The facilities are super with space for him to sit quietly or join in with the many activities. The

staff have been absolutely amazing especially with the current lockdown. As a family we are sure that he is in the best pace and as safe and happy as he could be.

Overall Experience

After suddenly losing our father we decided as a family that we could not give the care or stimulation our dear mother deserved and which our father had lovingly devoted his latter years to doing. The decision was not taken lightly and many a tear was shed in making it but from the moment we looked

around Bridgedale House and met the staff our concerns and fears were allayed.
From the day she went in, she has simply thrived. The care and patience of all the staff are amazing, the food is brilliant and the premises are more like a hotel than a dementia home. Her room is pretty, comfortable, roomy and very homely.
She is safe, warm, well-fed and continuously occupied (something we just couldn’t have given her ) and we are always made welcome when we visit her.
Our minds are completely at ease now and I would certainly recommend that if you have someone you care about and are facing this difficult decision that you view Bridgedale House for yourself.
Thank you to all the staff there.
