Adding a new wing to Swimbridge House Nursing Home

Jun 19, 2019

Swimbridge House Nursing Home have recently completed an extension for fifteen additional residents. Each new bedroom has en-suite facilities with a shower and is tastefully decorated, with a unique and homely feel. Since individuality is at the heart of our vision, residents are welcome to personalise their rooms by bringing special photograph, mementoes and items of furniture.

The home is clean and comfortable. The people who work there are friendly and very helpful. They have always got time for residents and visitors. The room (bedrooms) are clean and cosy they have lovely views out of the windows. It is nice to have the chickens, cat and dog that visit.

The home is very well run with the care and safety of the residents at the forefront. Questions raised are dealt with immediately. Staff are friendly and happy, greeting you wit a smile. They are competent and confident in their jobs. Mom is treated with kindness and respect.

My mother moved from another home into Swimbridge. Everyone concerned at the new home has shown myself and my husband, and most importantly, my mother, nothing but a warm welcome, kindness and compassion. In the 5 weeks she has been there she has become more alert to her surroundings, smiles more and makes eye contact with anyone interacting with her. The home is a delight to visit.

The staff at Swimbridge House were wonderful from start to finish (and afterwards). The initial contact was hesitant but after that, we were encouraged to feel part of a family in a different place, but it was still to be home. From the removal of the hospital tag - "you are now at home" which set the tone, we were guided through a new phase of my husband's life - towards death itself. I can't thank everyone enough. They had time for us and were willing to listen and guide. They really cared for my husband.

Review from S M (Wife of Resident) published on 28 August 2019 January 14, 2020

I'm delighted I chose Swimbridge House as my dad's nursing home. Although he has only been there for a short while of his long term care, he's settling in very well. All the staff from carers, nurses, the manager and other colleagues always greet residents and their visitors in a friendly and respectful way (which is so difficult to explain until you experience it) but makes a visit a relaxing pleasure for me. I'm impressed with dad's room (complete with wetroom) we chose in the new wing. The decor, furniture and comfort aspect is excellent. There is plenty of room to manoeuvre (bearing in mind many residents require a walking aid). His personal additions from home add to his comfort. Dad has soon found his way around the well laid out shared areas - three separate lounges, all with TVs, reading material and more. Various activities/pastimes are available, with carers on hand to assist and occasional live entertainment as planned. The secure outside areas are also well planned.
