Overall Experience

I thought it was about time that I wrote another review about Bridgewater Homecare (Wigan) how they have improved the quality of care for my wife as well as the support that they have given me over the last 8 years.

I would like to start by thanking Bridgewater for all their hard work, I have now been with Bridgewater for over 8 years, so they must be doing something right. I had use other care agencies before Bridgewater, but none of them compared to the help and support Bridgewater have given me.

Since my last review, around 3 years ago, I have had 5 army reunions one of them being in Germany, I had a five-day holiday in Tenerife while Bridgewater carers provided 24/7 support. A few months ago, I was myself rushed into hospital at very sort notice and had to spend 8 days in hospital recovering. Even with the sort notice the care company put 24/7 support within hours and told me not to worry. I was so grateful that I could concentrate on my recovery, when I did get back home the ca

Always come on time, very nice staff. My husband is very happy with the staff that come and like the conversations they have. Grateful for the support that enables me to go out. Just would like the care in a morning to get him up as all the staff is very organised and my husband would be happy with that. So that we can change over to Bridgewater Home Care for all his care.

Review from Leanne W (Granddaughter of Client) published on 21 November 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

The whole team were friendly, professional and always available. We felt immediately at ease from the moment we met the Bridgewater Home Care staff and really appreciated the way they stepped so seamlessly into the crisis position we felt we were in. The care provided gave my grandad some lovely weeks at home before he died just as he wished and we loved the fact he thought he had a cook and was able to eat the food he loved the way he liked it. We enjoyed and were comforted by the diary of visits we were able to read and loved that Grandad was making friends with your team of carers who always seemed to have time to chat whilst keeping his home shipshape and attending to his personal and health needs.

Reply from Shaneil Gaskell, Care Manager at Bridgewater Home Care (Wigan)

Thank you for taking the time to complete this review, it was an absolute pleasure and honour to be able to provide your grandad with the care and support he needed and make his final weeks happy and full of feelings of care and contentment. The care specialists always go above and beyond, helping their clients feel at ease and making sure any specific needs are met.

Review from A B (Daughter of Client) published on 4 September 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Bridgewater Home Care has been supporting my mum for approximately eighteen months, we have found them to be a reliable care provider.
Being able to see the rota in advance is reassuring and gives us confidence in the service as you know who is going to call. They keep to a regular team of carers and this has enabled good and trusted relationships to build. They will try to introduce someone new with a regular team member which is really good practice from Bridgewater.
Due to my mum's complex health needs, they are adaptable in how she is supported and will assess each day as it comes. Always showing dignity, respect and continue to promote her independence.
They offer a person-centered approach, the management team are always approachable and I feel that they listen and always act upon our discussions.
We will discuss changes in the rota on both sides if needed and work together to reach a compromise.

Please continue to be you Bridgewater Home Care (Wigan).

Overall Experience

Bridgewater Home Care have taken the very best care of my mum (and my dad before her) for over six years. They helped Mum live independently in her own home with kindness and the utmost caring professionalism. Bridgewater always put my mum's needs at the forefront of everything. Their support, kindness and knowledge of what mum needed and wanted was exemplary. Each and every carer was her friend. The office staff were always amazingly responsive, calm and efficient. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Overall Experience

I used Bridgewater Home Care for two nights per week for approximately eighteen months. They cared for my dad during the night, changing incontinence pads, applying creams prescribed from chemist and ensuring he was comfortable and settled in bed. Carers were always on time and always keen to know how Dad had been. Staff were very professional at all times. Gave good handovers regarding Dad's condition and providing any medical advice I could discuss with GP. Staff treated Dad with respect and care. I always felt Dad was in safe hands.
