The care given by the staff at Berkley Lodge was always excellent. Despite mum's conclusion, she was always as comfortable as possible, well dressed, clean and happy.

My wife has been in Berkeley Lodge for over 3 years and I have nothing but praise and admiration for the staff. They show the residents care, compassion and respect and I thank them wholeheartedly for caring for my wife in a way that was beyond my capabilities.

Dad's medical needs are always met. He looks in good health. He is happy, his room is kept spotlessly clean. The staff understand his individual needs and personality and are always happy to cater for his needs. Berkeley Lodge has a really homely feel and there is a real team spirit.

My impression is that everyone is very kind and patient with my husband. Cannot comment on facilities or activities as he will not leave his room.
I have said good value. It is expensive but I imagine such a place costs a lot to run and pay staff adequately.

I have found the level of nursing care delivered to my mother to be of a very high standard. The staff and management continue to provide the care and comfort and social interaction to ensure that my mother is comfortable and happy in her environment.
The room is very pleasant with a nice view of the
garden. The home has excellent facilities for access when needed. Any important information is always forwarded to me.

I came to view Berkeley Lodge early March 2018, I met with the manager, who immediately put me at ease.
The home is extremely clean and all staff are welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
The meals are cooked on premises and are varied and tasty with several choices each day.
My father
has become accustomed to living here in his very tastefully furnished and spacious room, he enjoys the banter he has with staff.
I am very pleased with all aspects of care given to my father, who can be quite challenging at times.
There are plenty of activities for him if he wishes to join in.
I would not hesitate to recommend Berkeley Lodge to anyone.

1000 characters are not enough to say all that impresses us. At a time when Dad's needs increased due to a bad fall, all plans for a live-in carer went out of the window.
We were recommended four homes, Berkeley Lodge was the second one we visited and as soon as we walked through the door we wanted
Dad to be here. We checked the other homes and quickly reserved his room.
All members of the team, from the matron onward, were happy and welcoming. The home is much better than some hotels we have stayed in. It is hard to say what impressed us most, we have indicated excellent on all options but to us, as 5 gold star B/B owners the housekeeping team at the Lodge shone.
The care and activities team are second to none and are happy to talk about care. Dad has settled in well and we have had no issues. When taking him out he is happy to go back to his home in the lodge.
We recommend Berkeley Lodge with it’s caring team to anyone who wants a safe comfortable, clean, friendly home for their loved ones.

The care my friend was given was exceptional. The home was clean and welcoming with friendly and caring staff. This is definitely somewhere I would be more than happy to have a family member of mine live.

My Mother-in-Law has been a resident at Berkeley Lodge Nursing Home for 18 months approximately. As we live in London, we only manage to get to the home on an ad-hoc basis. What I felt comfortable about was that we could always just turn up at any given time and were always greeted by a friendly face
on reception.
Our Mother has dementia and requires 24/7 care. We could not provide this but the care she gets in this care home is of a very high standard. She is always spotlessly clean, showered, hair washed every day and clean clothes and bedlinen. Excellent!

My mother has been a resident at Berkeley Lodge Nursing Home for six and a half years.
She was suffering from Alzheimer's and was not an easy client.
The care and compassion she received from the excellent staff was wonderful.
She died in January and the care at the end of her life could not have
been better.
I am truly grateful we found Berkeley Lodge.

As the only child of my late mother, I am highly appreciative of Berkeley Lodge and the superb staff who looked after my mother during her last weeks of her life. Their care and devotion were second to none. The home itself was immaculate, every area well presented and cared for. Berkeley Lodge is outstanding
and is a shining example of what a nursing home should be.

Had to find a care home at short notice. My aunt had been in a nursing home for 3yrs plus, it was closed in a rush.
It was by chance I went to Berkeley Lodge, I was impressed as I walked through the door.
Met by a kindly lady, shown the room, given a tour, offered tea, had the full home charges explained,
told about how the home operated. I explained my plans, paid the deposit, fixed a date to meet the manager to finalise details.
I moved my aunt 60 miles est. time of arrival all in place with a pleasant reception.
Have followed home guidelines, the staff have been magnificent. Top to Bottom.
My aunt has suffered one or two moments, I have been contacted immediately where necessary and my aunt's needs have been of utmost importance to the staff.
Thank you, long may it continue.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.840)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.840) out of 10 for Berkeley Lodge Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.840 for Berkeley Lodge Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 175 Ratings = 4.84

  • b) 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
