Read articleQuestions families ask about Bridge House
Still unsure? Call 020 8647 8419 and talk it through. Figures are for 2026/27 and come from GOV.UK and the NHS.
Where is Bridge House, and how do I get there?
Bridge House is at 280-282 London Road, Wallington SM6 7DJ. Hackbridge station is about half a mile away and Wallington station is also close, with the A237 and A232 nearby.
Who is the manager at Bridge House?
Audry Kovacs is the Registered Manager. Ask for Audry on 020 8647 8419, or read more on our About page.
Is Bridge House a nursing home or a residential home?
It provides both, with registered nurses on duty day and night. Residential care covers personal help such as washing, dressing and medication. Nursing care adds a registered nurse for clinical needs such as wound care and monitoring, and residential care suits someone who does not need that regularly.
Is Bridge House a listed building?
Yes. It is a refurbished Grade II listed building by the River Wandle, with 36 single rooms and registered nurses on duty day and night.
How much does Bridge House cost per week?
The weekly fee is set after an assessment, because it depends on the care needed and the room. Call 020 8647 8419 and ask for the current fee in writing. If a person needs registered nursing, the NHS pays a contribution of £267.68 a week in 2026/27. Read our guide to care home fees in Sutton.
Will Sutton Council help pay for care at Bridge House?
It depends on needs and money. Sutton Council starts with a free needs assessment, then a financial assessment. In 2026/27 someone with over £23,250 in capital usually pays the full fee, and capital under £14,250 is ignored, though income still counts. NHS continuing healthcare can pay everything if assessed needs qualify. The council responsible is the one where the person lived before the move.
Do I lose my State Pension if I move into Bridge House?
No, moving into a care home does not stop it. If you pay your own fees you keep it. If the council helps, it counts as income towards the fee and you keep at least £31.80 a week. GOV.UK says most other benefits usually stop within 28 days when the NHS or the council funds the stay, so tell the Pension Service either way.
What does dementia care look like at Bridge House?
Being outside can help on restless days, and there are three spaces to use: the well courtyard, the conservatories with their raised flower beds, and the back garden. The raised flower beds bring the garden indoors for anyone who has loved gardening. Read more about dementia care.
Does the council or NHS pay for respite at Bridge House?
Sometimes. Councils fund respite only for people assessed as needing it, so ask for a needs assessment and a carer's assessment first. After a hospital stay or a fall, the NHS may offer free intermediate care, usually for up to 6 weeks. Otherwise the person pays for the stay. Read how a short stay works.
Can we visit Bridge House, and is there a waiting list?
Yes, please visit before deciding. See the well courtyard and the conservatories, and meet the nurses. Room availability changes, so call 020 8647 8419 with the care you need and when, or request a visit.
Where can I read the CQC report for Bridge House?
On the Care Quality Commission website: the CQC record for Bridge House.
Come and see Bridge House.
See the river, the well courtyard and a bedroom, and meet the nurses. Visits in Wallington seven days a week, no obligation.
