About Bernash Care Home
Bernash Care Home offers residential, dementia, respite and day care in Bristol, with 24-hour support for older people. The home’s care assistants help with washing, dressing and daily living while encouraging residents to remain active and independent, and each resident has a personalised care plan.
Residents can choose when to bathe and where to eat, use the home and gardens safely, and continue existing hobbies or start new ones. The home also organises activities, themed days and outings, with family involvement encouraged. It is a traditional detached property with a maximum of 23 residents, and visits are welcome at any time, although a call ahead is sensible when speaking to the Home Manager.

How much does Bernash Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Bernash Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Bristol council paid on average £1,170 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
