About Springfields

Springfields began life as the Bridestowe rectory before being lovingly transformed into a residential home. For over 40 years, we’ve been a sought-after care setting, with many residents and families choosing us for our welcoming atmosphere, spacious rooms, and compassionate staff.

Since 2023, Springfields has been under the directorship of Dr Arul Neel & Dr Sharath Jaiprakash, who bring investment, expertise and fresh vision while preserving the warm family values Springfields is known for.

Our philosophy is simple:

Every resident should have the freedom to live as they choose, supported when needed, independent where possible.

Life & activities

Life at Springfields is active, social, and varied.

Our weekly programme includes:

Art, cookery, music therapy, and gentle exercise sessions
Visits from Collytown Ponies and falconry displays
School visits from Bridestowe Primary
Church services, outings to local landmarks, and cream teas at nearby Sourton Church

Residents choose how much or little they’d like to join in – it’s their home, their choice.
