Welcome to The Bridles, a care home reimagined
Located in Wincanton, this luxurious new home has superior standards of design and interior finishes. With smart technology and thoughtful spaces, it’s a place for connection and comfort.
What we offer
Elegant en-suite bedrooms
Each of our 72 en-suite bedrooms features an accessible wet room. Furnished with the little luxuries you'd expect from Bupa, all rooms are equipped to meet a range of care needs.
With a variety of different rooms and suites to choose from, we're sure you'll find your perfect space.
Person-centred care
Great care is about respect and real relationships. Often, the smallest gestures can have the biggest impact on someone’s health and happiness.
That's why we carefully select all our staff for their empathy and compassion. The quality care we offer goes beyond the training we provide to our teams.
Latest in care technology
Residents are kept safe and secure with innovative care technology throughout the home. This includes sensors to monitor changes in movement and behaviour.
Spaces to connect
There's always something to do at The Bridles. Throughout the home, there are many unique spaces for both residents and visitors.
Read in the library, unwind in the snug, or enjoy some of the regular entertainment in one of the lounges. Residents can keep busy with activities, and feel their best with our dedicated hair and beauty salon.
Vibrant, modern restaurant
When someone prepares a meal with an extra bit of love, you can always tell. Delicious, hearty food can often be the highlight of someone's day. This is our chefs' top priority; balancing great taste and presentation with nutrition.
Fully accessible garden
We want residents to get out in the fresh air as much as possible. In our beautiful garden, a wide range of comfortable seating makes for an ideal setting to socialise or relax.
Designed to feel like home
At The Bridles, residents can choose a space to suit them, from cosy rooms to garden-view suites. They can feel safe, calm and comfortable, no matter the type of care they need.
Who is this care home for?
Types of care we don't provide
Expert clinical insight tailored to you
New residents of The Bridles will benefit from a Medication Check*
A Medication Check uses DNA testing to identify genetic differences that affect your response to over 100 wide ranging medicines. This helps you and your healthcare professional to find precise medicines and treatments that are both effective and appropriate for you. It's part of our commitment to delivering clinically robust, person centred care.
*Self funded residents only. Terms and conditions apply and are available at the home.
Ninety nine percent of us respond differently to common medicines based on our DNA.
What if you could discover your unique response?
With Bupa’s new medication check, you can.
Stay one step ahead.
With one simple at home DNA test, you can shine a light on which medications work best for you,
so you have the knowledge you need to shape your story.
