My husband has been a resident in Berkeley Lodge since the beginning of this year and although he has taken a while to settle I have found the staff well equipped to help and deal with his transition. The Home has such a nice warm atmosphere and I feel that I can approach the staff at any time if I
have any worries or queries. The care he is receiving is everything that I would wish for to make his life more comfortable and happy.

Our overall impression is of a very well run and caring nursing home.
We regularly visit however these visits are becoming increasingly short due to our mother's condition.
Our mother is unable to communicate so we do not have a complete picture of her care currently but historically it has been
very good.

Excellent care, lovely staff from cleaners, carers, reception & nursing staff. Simply not enough adjectives to express the nursing home, I'm delighted with the overall care and most importantly keeping me updated with any issues.

My father was a resident at Berkeley Lodge for just over 2 years. My mother and I visitied him regularly and we were privileged to see the kindness and patience of the staff who looked after him. They really took the trouble to get to know him and he was treated with dignity and good humour. Our family
very much appreciate the way he was looked after and the way we were made to feel like part of the family. It was lovely to witness and sometimes join in with the activities organised for the residents. Communication and information sharing was excellent, as was the delcious food and refreshments. I particularly appreciate the thoughtful way the team looked after me during the last few weeks of my father's life. My heartfelt thanks to everyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum spent almost 2 years in the care of the wonderful staff at Berkeley Lodge. I don't use the word care lightly because I always witnessed exceptionally attentive care whenever I visited my mum. Management were responsive and punctual when contacted and I always felt they had my mum's best interests
at heart and even though she had advanced dementia she was always treated as a human being with her own feelings and opinions. Even when my mum passed away recently they made us feel that she was part of a family and would be genuinely missed and we thank them for that. Thank you to all at Berkeley and I'll be booking in my own space soon :)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum and stepfather have been at Berkeley Lodge Nursing Home for almost a year now. They both have very different needs. Mum found it hard to settle down at first but the staff and management have been wonderful. Using different techniques and working with me to help her. All the staff are lovely
and caring. The home is very clean and they both have lovely rooms. They have their own activities staff and Mum has been encouraged to join in. She has enjoyed this much to my surprise. They are very well looked after. I live in France, so have found it difficult, but the staff have always been on hand to help and support me. It is all the little things they do that mean so much. I was lucky to find Berkeley Lodge and even luckier to find a home that would take them both together. Thank you.

Review from Mel P (Husband of Resident) published on 18 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has been in Berkeley Lodge Nursing Home for over six years. There has been inevitable changes in staff during this time, but I have always found management and staff thoroughly professional, businesslike and friendly.
My wife has been cared for extremely well, during this lengthy time.
An
example very recently, was that my wife suddenly deteriorated, in the middle of the night. Her condition was evaluated by the duty nurse, and stabilized. The nurse phoned me and explained what had occurred and how it had been dealt with, to my entire satisfaction.
First thing, the following morning, the manager, recently appointed, phoned me and updated me on what the Doctor had reported to her. Everything very efficient as one would expect from a top class Nursing Home.
My wife has recovered to some degree and continues to receive excellent care.

My father has been in Berkeley Lodge since February. He is lovingly cared for by the team. Although he is sometimes reluctant to join in with activities, the staff have encouraged him to join in with things that he has not participated in for several years (e.g. painting and choir). It was a very difficult
decision for us, as a family, to make to place him in a care home, but we really had no alternative. We feel that this is the best we can do and are relieved that he is in a lovely home where he is well cared for and treated with kindness and respect.

My father has been looked after by Berkeley Lodge for the past couple of months. He is a type 1 diabetic and loves his food. The nurses look after his diabetes so well and keep it under control as best as they can. He came with a pressure ulcer, which they dress most days due to its severity. The staff
are friendly and caring and look after him with dignity. Due to his poor eyesight, he is assisted to eat. It would be lovely to have more activities available for those who are almost blind, is my only thought.

Dad's dementia means that his mod and ability change several times within the same day. At his age, he has other health-related conditions which the staff cope with in a very caring and understanding way, I'm delighted with the way in which he is looked after.

We are very pleased with the assistance and care all the staff at Berkeley Lodge have given. Right from the start they have made sure our dear cousin has been settled and happy in her new home. There have been regular updates made and action taken if any changes are required. When visiting there is
a smile from all the caring and friendly staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Within 24 hours of moving my mother into Berkeley Lodge, she was a different person.
Drugs were reduced substantially, her dignity reintroduced instantly, freedom to move around the home safely was immediate. The whole team transformed our mother’s life, health and well-being before our eyes.
The
staffing team, across the board, are kind and loving; they are tactile, so Mum feels loved. They respond to her needs with compassion and respect her for who she is. Her care plan is very personal whilst on this dementia journey. Mum makes choices and is now so clean and showered every day. She is made to feel special and individual.
The home and garden are beautiful, and the food is wonderful. Mum can breathe and be herself with a new sense of freedom. There is never a fuss - staff are calm and positive with many strategies.
They are true professionals. It is a joy for us as a family to have Mum at Berkeley Lodge.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.829)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.829) out of 10 for Berkeley Lodge Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.829 for Berkeley Lodge Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (145 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 175 Ratings = 4.829
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Berkeley Lodge Nursing Home is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
