The Team Behind the Success
At the helm of Bridgewater Home Care Watford are Oana and Magda, two dedicated care professionals with a strong background in domiciliary care. With combined experience of over ten years in the field, they bring a wealth of knowledge and passion to their roles as franchise partners. Their journey began with caring in the community positions and expanded into management roles, driven by a shared love for enhancing people’s lives.
Oana and Magda’s vision for Bridgewater Home Care Watford was clear from the start: to create a business that goes above and beyond in meeting the needs of its clients. This commitment to exceptional service has been instrumental in their rapid success and growth.
Magda and Oana comment:
“We have always been deeply passionate about working in the Health and Social Care sector. When we decided to start our own journey as a home care provider, we explored several franchise opportunities. However, Bridgewater Home Care stood out by offering us a true sense of partnership and unwavering support.
“Despite our experience in managing care compliance for a large provider, starting our own business came with its challenges. As first-time business owners, we faced a learning curve, but Bridgewater Home Care guided us every step of the way. Through monthly meetings, expert advice, and hands-on support, they helped us navigate the journey successfully.
“By following their proven framework and putting in hard work, dedication, and passion, we have seen incredible results. Just one year after our CQC registration, we have achieved a strong monthly turnover and proudly received two awards, marking an exciting milestone in our journey.”
The Power of the Franchise Model
The Bridgewater Home Care franchise model has played a crucial role in Watford’s success. By providing a proven business framework, comprehensive training, and ongoing support, the franchise system has enabled Oana and Magda to focus on delivering high-quality care while efficiently managing their business operations.
Key elements of the Bridgewater franchise model that have contributed to Watford’s success include:
- Comprehensive support: Initial and ongoing training and mentoring ensures franchise owners are well-equipped with all the tools to run their own business effectively from day one.
- Market-Leading Technology: Cloud-based infrastructure and real-time monitoring systems streamline operations and enhance service quality.
- Quality and Compliance: Dedicated brand compliance and regular quality standard audits maintain high standards of care.
- Marketing Support: High-quality branded materials and sophisticated marketing techniques help attract clients and key stakeholders.
- First Hand Experience: Bridgewater Home Care’s founder, Phil Eckersley, brings unparalleled insight, having navigated both the franchising landscape as a franchisee and the home care sector by establishing Bridgewater Home Care from the ground up.
Quality Care Driving Sustainable Growth
The Bridgewater Home Care Watford team’s commitment to providing exceptional care has been the cornerstone of their success. With their team of 25 and growing, they place a strong focus on relationship-building, continuity of care, and quality of service, they have earned the trust and loyalty of their clients and the wider community.
This approach aligns perfectly with Bridgewater Home Care’s ethos of “Quality, Reliability and Trust”. The franchise’s no “clock-watching” policy allows carers to spend quality time with clients, ensuring their needs are fully met. This client-centred approach has not only led to high satisfaction rates but has also generated positive word-of-mouth referrals, further fuelling the office’s growth.
The outstanding reviews that Bridgewater Home Care Watford receives from its clients are a direct reflection of the positive impact the team has on its clients.
“My mother has Alzheimer’s and the care she has been receiving from the wonderful Bridgewater Home Care team has been outstanding. They treat their clients as if they were their own parents. They put so much thought into creating the right kind of care routine for my mum. The level of communication with my father and with me has been exemplary. The support they are also providing my father, in helping him live with someone diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, has made the world of difference. I trust every one of the team completely and their care and support have changed all of our lives for the better.” – Daughter of client (review from homecare.co.uk)

Bridgewater Home Care Watford has quickly established itself as a pillar in the local community, extending its impact far beyond the realm of home care services. The franchise office has actively engaged with various local organisations and charities, fostering strong relationships that benefit the entire Watford area.
They have developed partnerships with local organisations ‘Say It With a Smile’ and ‘Small Acts of Kindness’ which are both local initiatives that spreads joy and positivity throughout the community. These collaborations have seen Bridgewater Home Care participate in numerous community events and charitable activities, further cementing its reputation as a compassionate and socially responsible business. The team also have strong relations with Dementia Friendly Watford, Carers in Hertfordshire, the Alzheimer’s Society and Dementia UK.
Through these efforts, Bridgewater Home Care Watford not only provides essential care services but also contributes to the overall well-being and social fabric of the Watford community, exemplifying their commitment to making a positive difference in people’s lives both inside and outside the home.
