Review from A B (Son of Client) published on 16 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot speak highly enough about the exceptional care provided by Bridgewater Home Care. Their care and attention extended the time mum was able to live independently at home, despite her progressive dementia. One staff member, in particular, became a new friend, at a time when mum found it difficult
to forge relationships. Bridgewater took time to understand mum's individual needs and in particular, their support around mum's 90th birthday party was instrumental in that being a very happy and successful occasion.

After having 15mths bad experience of a local authority recommended Care Company for Mum, thank goodness we found Bridgewater Care.
From my initial meeting with the registered care manager I could tell straight away that this was a company to be reckoned with & they have not disappointed at all.
The
last three months have removed so much of the stress that I was suffering, knowing that all of Mums needs are now being met & she is safely being looked after.
The Care Plan set up for Mum is fantastic & very flexible, their communication & organisation of everything is second to none and the Carers are absolutely wonderful & I cannot sing their praises enough.
They are everything you could wish for,
professional, very respectful & go out of their way to make sure that everything is taken care of & if anything needs reporting do so immediately in order that family are informed.
I would recommend Bridgewater Care 100% ! & if I could award more stars I would.
Thank you again to all of you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Wonderful care for my late father, from the day of first contact until the end of his life. I found the service to be flexible and they listened carefully to our needs, making the process of finding carers and putting together an appropriate care plan, much easier than I had expected. The manager, was
very helpful and gave good advice. She was friendly and supportive and went the extra mile to help. The carers were all lovely, friendly and caring, treating dad with respect and dignity. I very much appreciated the on line feedback and account of what had been done after each visit. Everything was transparent including the pricing. Thank you Bridgewater.
Reply from Diane Elebert-Morgan, Managing Director at Bridgewater Home Care (Bolton)
Thank you for the lovely review. All of your late fathers team loved working with him, and it was our pleasure and privilege to do so.

We have now received care from Bridgwater for nearly three years. All staff have presented themselves in a professional manner and are always polite and courteous. The carers are very considerate to Dad's needs and never rush him. They make conversation with him and always listen to his stories, sometimes
more than once! But always take the time to listen as hearing for the first time!! Would wholly recommend Bridgewater to anyone.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
At the initial meeting I was told that I would have 2-3 carers so I would get to know them. I see a lot more than that a lot of whom seem to be new so it makes it difficult to form a relationship.
Some of the carers (usually more experienced) go over and above to help, but some of the younger ones
don't appreciate the difficulties of Parkinson's Disease. Those that do understand are very good at knowing when I am "off" ad just get on with the tasks.

I cannot speak highly enough about the exceptional care provided by Bridgewater Home Care. They have been providing companion care for my mother-in-law, who is living with dementia, for several months now and we are incredibly grateful for their support. They always go above and beyond, ensuring that
Mum receives the very best care possible. One staff member, in particular, has become like a best friend to my mother-in-law. Her kindness, compassion, and expertise have been invaluable in helping Mum to feel comfortable and safe. What sets Bridgewater Home Care apart is their commitment to truly getting to know its clients and their families. They take the time to understand individual needs and preferences and tailor their care accordingly. It is clear that they genuinely care about their client's well-being and go out of their way to make a positive difference in their lives. I highly recommend Bridgewater Home Care. They are an outstanding company, with an exceptional team of caregivers!

The ladies treat Mum with a great deal of dignity and respect, as they would their own relative.
They smile with her when she’s happy and help her through the not too good days. My brother and I work alongside the Bridgewater team, communication from them is always relevant, pertinent and accurate,
with Mum at the forefront of every decision we make together as a team. Mum would not be able to stay at home ( where she wants to be) without the help we have from Bridgewater.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The careers that come to mum have done a great job from day one. She feels very comfortable with them and something that is very important to her is the way they share stories about their families. Mum is on her own for a large part of the day so the carers visit is a welcome break. Then when I visit
she enjoys repeating these stories to me. At 95, mum needs help with showering and dressing which was difficult for her to accept at first but the carers were so professional and thoughtful in the way they treated her, that mum is very happy and relaxed with them. For me, if mum is happy then so am I. A big thank you to all the staff.

I cannot thank Bridgewater enough for their help and support. The carers are excellent, always professional, kind, helpful, patent, polite and go over and above to care for my husband.
They do everything they can to ensure both my hubby and myself are happy.
They always arrive smiling, cheerful and
on time.
Should we have any queries the office staff and management sort them without any issues.
All in all I would definitely rate Bridgewater Bolton as ‘The cream of the crop’ I only wish I could do more to thank them.

My carers have made a huge difference to my life since they started coming. My mental health has stabilised, and that is in the very large part to the support I receive from my carers.
