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.

After one year, my wife has received first-class service from all excellent staff in purpose-built, spacious accommodations with many communal areas. From research of other homes, Berkeley Lodge is recommended and is excellent value for money.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Review from Sue E (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
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.

Since my mother was moved to Berkeley Lodge a year ago her care has been outstanding. Staff are kind, compassionate and show extraordinary levels of patience. The manager has kept us informed of changes to my mother's needs and has worked hard to ensure that the family is supported as much as the resident.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
The day-to-day staff here are truly angels in human form. Unfortunately, I feel that they are let down by their management. My father was assaulted in his bed by other residents and subsequently hospitalised. I requested (repeatedly) the Director's investigate the incident and provide a comprehensive
report into the incident. The outcome of an investigation has not been forthcoming (from SCNH) and to absolutely aggravate the situation at such an awful time for us, the Director I approached has 'dismissed' my requests for information and refuses to engage. I really think the care staff are absolutely exceptional and can't praise them highly enough, but the behaviour of the Director(s) completely undermines this and absolutely causes pain at a particularly horrible time in our lives.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has settled down extremely well since her discharge from hospital. Before that, she was living on her own and with dementia and other illnesses and it was necessary for her to receive constant medical care. I am confident she is now receiving this care at Berkeley Lodge. There has been a remarkable
improvement in her general well-being since her arrival in May this year. The staff are caring and friendly. The food l am told by my mother is excellent. She has made friends with other residents and is a lot happier than before her arrival at Berkeley Lodge. There have been no problems in telephoning or visiting my mother during this covid epidemic. The staff are following all the guidelines imposed by the government.

I am very pleased that Mum managed to be accepted into Berkeley Lodge after suffering a severe stroke last September. The superb care and attention she has received has enabled her to celebrate her 100th birthday in January against the odds, and I am sure contributed to an amazing recovery of her speech
capability, so that now visits are even more rewarding.
The staff at the home are so professional and caring, especially throughout the exceptionally testing times they have endured. I cannot thank them all enough for looking after Mum so well, who is always smiling and happy when I visit.

My mother has been a resident since January 2021. We had to make the arrangements during the middle of the lockdown so we were unable to visit the home to view the facilities for ourselves, however the way the management handled it provided us with confidence. She has settled in well and been treated
with great kindness and respect by the friendly staff. The communication with the home has always been very good with any questions answered promptly. The meal menus are varied which my mother enjoys. The activities team are great at helping her to keep stimulated and engaged and she seems happy and contented.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt had to go to a nursing home for care after a brief hospital stay and was placed in Berkeley Lodge. Since her stay in Berkeley Lodge she has had a couple of falls and each time this happened Berkeley Lodge contacted me to advise of the falls and how my aunt was. She also contracted Covid in the
home and again Berkeley Lodge contacted me to advise of the situation. My aunt has since become a permanent resident and despite her dementia issues she is always kept clean and always appears happy when I go to visit her. Visiting has been difficult due to Covid but the home has a good process in place that seems to work well for my visits to the home. My aunt believes she is in a hotel and wishes to remain at the home so this is comforting to me to know that she is happy and feels like she is in a hotel.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.787)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.787) 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.787 for Berkeley Lodge Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (203 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 258 Ratings = 4.787
  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 22 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 22 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.
