Testimonials

I like to go shopping, bowling and for a meal.

I like the people and the staff here at Bridgewood House. I like helping and going out during the day and evenings. I love the food and the entertainment. I think the people who sing are friendly to me because they get me up to sing and dance.

I am very pleased. My son has been looked after for many years by Bridgewood&nbsp;Trust. So much so, I have another son with&nbsp;learning difficulties who, when the time&nbsp;<br>
comes, I want him to go to Bridgewood Trust too so they can stay in contact with each&nbsp;other. If I have doubts or concerns I can always talk things through.

I cannot fault Ravensknowle Road. I am kept informed of all his care and what is&nbsp;going on. Ravensknowle has surpassed all our previous experiences in a positive&nbsp;way. The staff team go way beyond what is expected of them and treat my son as an&nbsp;individual.
