About Bridge House Care Centre

Bridge House Care Centre in Wallington provides nursing and personal care for older people, including those living with dementia. Registered nurses are on duty here at all hours, working with carers who know the people they look after well. Nursing needs including wound care, support with medication, continence care and the monitoring of long term conditions are met on the premises, and we work closely with GPs and community teams so that changes in somebody's health are picked up quickly. Where dementia is part of the picture, the practical work is mostly about steadiness and attention. We keep the day predictable, keep familiar things in each person's room, learn what calms and what unsettles, and adjust how we communicate rather than expecting the person to adjust to us. We also want people to have days worth having. Meals are cooked here and preferences matter, which counts for more than usual when appetite is poor. There is company for those who want it and quiet for those who do not, and staff are expected to have time to sit and talk. Families are welcome and kept properly informed. Respite and short stays can be arranged. If you are looking at nursing homes in this area, please telephone us and arrange to come and see.
