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.

Our three cooks prepare meals fresh daily from a five-week rotating menu, shaped by resident feedback.
