About Us

Cholwell House Nursing Home is a nursing home in Bristol, and we look after adults who need skilled clinical care alongside the ordinary comforts of a place to call home.

Registered nurses are here around the clock, which means we can support people with complex health needs, with dementia, with mental health conditions and with physical disability, including younger adults whose needs are not always well met elsewhere. We also care for people living with sight or hearing loss, and we adapt how we communicate so that nobody is left out of a conversation or a decision about their own life. Respite stays are available too, for families who need a planned break or for someone recovering after time in hospital.

Nursing care can easily become a list of tasks, so we work hard to keep it from feeling that way. We ask people how they like their day to run, what time they prefer to wake, what they enjoy eating and who they want to see, and we fit the clinical side of things around those answers wherever we safely can. Where a condition is changing, we talk honestly with the person and their family about what to expect and what choices are open to them.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Visitors are welcome at Cholwell House throughout the day, and if you would like to look around, meet the team and see how we work, you only need to ask.
