About Bridgemead
Bridgemead is a nursing home in Bath. Qualified nurses are on duty here throughout the day and night. We care for older people whose health needs require nursing, and we take respite admissions as well as permanent residents. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement, and it would be dishonest to leave that to the end of the page. We accept it rather than disputing it. An inspection sees what is there on the day, and putting it right is our responsibility. There is an action plan, our commissioners know where we have reached with it, and if you are thinking of placing a relative with us we would far rather sit down and go through it with you. Meanwhile the nursing continues and we take it seriously. Medicines, wounds, pain, pressure care, and making sure people eat and drink enough. What is harder than any procedure is noticing early when somebody is not themselves, and that rests on the same staff knowing the same residents, which is exactly where a home under pressure must put its effort. Respite in a nursing home matters more than it sounds, because it gives a family carer a genuine rest rather than an anxious fortnight. Come and see us on an ordinary afternoon, ask whatever you need to ask, and talk to relatives of people already living here.
