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

Many Thanks.

Thank you for this lovely 5* review, we are please you are happy with the service being provided and will recommend us to others.
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.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. It truly is a pleasure to support your husband and provide you with the time you need to have the break for some respite. Our care specialists always look to engage and connect with our clients, and I am so pleased that the care your husband is receiving...
Always ready to help straight away. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Mum happy with the company. Reliable when needed.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this review. I will pass in this review to our team.
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.
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.
The attention I receive from carers is excellent. If I need to contact the office staff they are very helpful and obliging. Any one of the carers goes beyond the call of duty and nothing you ask for is too much trouble.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review, I will pass on these kind comments to your staff team. Thank you for placing your trust in Bridgewater Home Care.
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).
Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review, we strive to ensure communication is effective with any changes and we are incredibly proud of our care specialist. We appreciate your kind words and we will ensure this is passed on to your team.
From day one we have been absolutely delighted with the service provided by the carers and staff at Bridgewater. The ladies who come to look after my father are all so kind and genuinely care for him, nothing is too much trouble. They are very patient and always treat him with the utmost dignity. We really couldn't be happier!
Thank you for your kind words, we are delighted you find our staff kind and patient, I will pass on these comments to your staff team and thank you for putting your trust in Bridgewater Home Care.
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.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this wonderful review, person-centred care is something we always strive for and I will ensure these kind words are passed to your mum's team, thank you for putting your trust in Bridgewater Home Care.
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.
Thank you for leaving this lovely review, it was a pleasure to provide the support for your dad and the respite for you, we are pleased to see he has settled so well and our staff team are thankful for the update.
No complaints so far.
Thank you for your 5* review, your feedback is greatly appreciated, I will pass this review on to your staff team.
Overall, this is the best care agency I have ever used, and I have used it a lot.
Very glad to be back with them.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this wonderful review; I will pass on your lovely words to your staff team, and thank you for putting your trust in Bridgewater Home Care to use our service again.
Very satisfied with attitude of care staff and continuity of care. Positive experience overall.
Thank you for taking the time to complete our review; continuity of care is very important to us and our clients. Thank you for putting your trust in Bridgewater Home Care.
All staff are on time and extremely respectful. I know in advance who is coming and at what time. The office staff will ring me if there's any changes to the published schedule - I find this very useful and helpful to Mum. I can recommend Bridgewater for all care for clients with dementia.
Thank you for taking the time to leave this lovely review, we strive to ensure communication is effective and timely with any changes and we are incredibly proud of our care specialist and the support provided to our clients. We appreciate your kind words and we will ensure this is passed onto your team who adore supporting your mum.

I have worked within the care sector for over 11 years, starting as a carer. Over the years I have gained experience along the way and progressed as I learned the different roles.
I am the Registered Manager for Bridgewater Home Care Wigan, with a focus on providing high quality, person-centred care to all.
Jen has been part of the Bridgewater Family for many years, beginning as a Care Specialist, working up to Senior Care Specialist, and is now part of our office team as our Care Coordinator.
Kim began with Bridgewater Home Care as a Care Specialist before joining the office team as Deputy Care Coordinator.
I've been with Bridgewater Home Care for over 10 years now, and I look after the Recruitment and Training for Bridgewater Home Care Wigan.
As a family, we established Bridgewater Home Care because of our own personal experiences of care. We saw a real need for a quality, private home care service for vulnerable adults in the area, that treated people with dignity and worked around what they wanted as well as their immediate needs.
We are here to change the way in which care is provided and make a real positive impact on the quality of life of local people in the area.
I am extremely happy and appreciative that I have the opportunity to work in the local community, meeting some fantastic people and helping vulnerable adults in the community to maintain their independence with personalised and holistic care in their own homes.
We have a great team of enthusiastic, compassionate and nurturing Care Specialists who encourage, stimulate and assist our clients with an array of varied activities, from companionship and home help to personal care and live-in care.
You can feel confident that will be supported by our friendly and professional team throughout your journey – we are always here to help.
I joined Bridgewater Home Care (and the care industry) in 2020 after a career in the accountancy world. It was a big change of direction for me, but I love working alongside the Bridgewater Family and helping to deliver a service that means so much to those in our local communities.
