A care home manager says her team has seen "massive support" as they mourn for residents who contracted coronavirus.
Edgemont View Nursing Home, on the outskirts of Bristol, confirmed earlier this month that a "number" of residents had died after reporting COVID-19 symptoms.
The outbreak has since been brought under control and the home, in Oldland Common, was professionally deep-cleaned on Thursday and Friday last week.
London-based company Swish Clean carried out the work for free, to eliminate any trace of the virus on surfaces and in communal areas.
Mark White, national service coordinator at the firm, said: "We just wanted to help this care home due to the tragic situation they have had in recent weeks.
"We've carried out a complete decontamination of the whole property, at no cost. The whole place has been cleaned thoroughly.
"Staff are under pressure and obviously after speaking to them, the residents there are like family to the people who work with them every day."
The care home's manager Joby James said she and her colleagues were grateful for the support during a difficult time.
She told Bristol Live: "It's been very sad but we have had massive support from everybody, especially from the local community.
"The situation has settled now in our home and we are opening again from this week onwards for admissions."
It had previously been closed to any new residents. Visitors are still being asked to stay away for now.
Ms James said: "The staff have been absolutely amazing, I don't know where they have got this strength from, and the families have been so, so kind.
"It's been a hard time for us, mentally and physically, but we will come out of this."
The care home has declined to confirm how many residents contracted coronavirus, but said in an earlier statement that "a number of residents" had died.
Manager Ms James said she felt care homes had been "completely forgotten" at the start of the coronavirus outbreak, but that now people were beginning to recognise how hard people in the care system were working.
Unlike some other key workers, she said obtaining personal protective equipment (PPE) had not been such an issue - partly as she had stocked up on Amazon to ensure they had sufficient supplies.
Care home residents are among those who are particularly vulnerable to COVID-19, as many are elderly and have underlying health conditions.
Ms James said on Thursday last week, when the nation recognised key workers through the weekly Clap For Carers, police officers visited the home to applaud staff and show their appreciation.
