Services
We are open to anyone over 65 as long as it is felt that Swimbridge will be the best place to cater for their needs. To make sure the right decision is being made we undertake a detailed assessment before offering a place together with you and your family, and where necessary will contact social workers, nurses and doctors.
The team have long-standing experience in healthcare, especially in providing elderly care, as well as management. I care passionately about providing a homely environment where our residents flourish within an atmosphere of calm, kindness and affection.

To provide an environment suited for high quality care, all bedrooms have electric profiling beds, usability aids and a nurse call system.
We provide a wide range of activities to help keep a healthy body and mind. We will support your desire to retain your independence and now is a time when you can really enjoy old hobbies, pass on tips to others and even pursue new hobbies if you feel like it. As well as helping residents to live as independently as possible, the Home ensures that residents are entertained and stimulated.
Prior to admission to the Home, we will meet with the resident and their family, where reasonably practicable, and complete an assessment to ensure that Swimbridge House is the appropriate placement to meet their health and social needs. We will, where appropriate, use other sources to gather information to assist the assessment i.e.

We visit a relative who resides here in Primrose Wing. The first thing I'd say is how clean it is as you walk in. Their accommodation is excellent, comprising of bedroom/living area with extra guest chair, coffee table and ample space. Residents can also take own furniture and belongings eg TV (although supplied), pictures, small extra items to personalise their room. There is a private large wetroom attached which again is of an excellent standard. They have two shared living/dining room areas - when we visit we use a newly built one, comfortable and well furnished. Professional entertainment
