Review from Fiona J. M (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 April 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother has been at The Berkshire Care Home for 3 1/2 years now and has been very well taken care of. The building itself is bright and welcoming, and the staff are committed to caring for the residents as fully rounded individuals. There is also a lovely garden that gives my mum, who is no longer mobile, much enjoyment. The manager has made many changes for the better since he arrived and is very open to feedback from the residents and their families. The cooking has improved since my mum first arrived, becoming a bit more varied and tasty. Also, under the excellent activities manager, at The Berkshire Care Home maintains a constant wide-ranging programme of activities for the residents. Also, I believe the manager is working towards setting up a programme of volunteers to visit residents, which will be particularly welcome at weekends when the place can be quite quiet for those residents with no visitors.

Overall Experience
The home has been on a journey since my father has been a resident. During the past 6 months the home has improved and are nearly at full strength. The staff are always happy to help, polite and kind to my father and the other residents.
