I visit my dad as regularly as possible and every time I visit Berkeley Village the staff are very welcoming and answer any questions in regards to my dad. They also ask if he needs anything which will improve his residency. They keep me informed of any situations which may occur during my absence which
is very reassuring. I feel my dad is in a good, safe and peaceful care home which is the ultimate aim.

In the time since my friend was transferred from another care home, I have noticed a good improvement in her condition. The care she receives at Berkeley Village is very much appreciated. The staff appear to go out of their way to ensure she receives the best care possible.

Somewhat of an experience here, bad to worse. If you want to be cared for, no. Waited 30 minutes for the toilet. 19 falls in six months. The smell is terrible of wee. Cleanliness 1, managers, zero. The company is all about money. Care days out, no. Got told to obesity. Food poor.

Review from L P (Cousin of Resident) published on 22 April 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My cousin was a resident from February 2019 to March 2020. She does have late-onset psychosis and needed emotional support. On a number of occasions, she phoned me to ask the staff to attend her to toilet her as she had used her buzzer with no avail - sometimes waiting over an hour. The kitchen facilities
on the first floor were inadequate and often untidy and dirty. Most of the staff were helpful but I did hear poor client interaction over the phone. The management did not inform me when there was an incident or change in her care or medication. I am next of kin.

This care home is understaffed. Buzzers are going constantly and the smell is overpowering. My neighbour was shouted at in front of visitors and told she should be in a mental hospital by one member of staff. She was refused toileting as it was lunchtime and the staff were busy. Staff refused to use
the hoist as it was too much trouble, causing her to fall on several occasions. These falls were not reported to her next of kin. The manager did not bother to say goodbye, she blanked us on the day of departure. So glad she is out of there, 200 words could not describe this place.

I have been extremely pleased with my choice of care home Cuerden Grange staff treat my mother with courtesy and great care at all times. She is always clean and well presented and smiling which shows she is settled and content. Staff work hard and always take time to acknowledge you answer your concerns
or queries. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cuerden Grange.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
National press coverage of care homes is all about underfunding, staffing levels and poor care standards. Having recently placed my 95 year old mother into Cuerden Grange Residential Home my experience could not have been different. Rooms and common areas are immaculate. The staff are hardworking and
demonstrably caring towards the residents and the managers must take full credit for the overall ethos and ambience of the home. I shall be forever grateful for the care and support offered to my mother and to me through, what has been an extremely stressful time.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident at Cuerden Grange for a number of years and in the main she has been settled and happy. However, there has been a massive turnover with regards to the management and staff recently and this has caused her to become insecure and unhappy.
The departure of the well-respected
activities co-ordinator has also seen a noticeable change in the atmosphere amongst the residents and in the day room. At the minute it is not the same friendly, relaxed and upbeat place it used to be, which could be attributed to the change in staff.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Some very caring assistants here. A great pity that the activities coordinator is leaving as she has been a fabulous "breath of fresh air".
Mostly happy with the care home but a pity that the current, cosy, well-ventilated lounge will be changing soon, as the previous room (now dining) was totally
un-welcoming and not a good shape for sitting in. The outside doors couldn't be opened there either as they lead onto the car park.

Shower time is not long enough! Dad says he barely has time to get wet! Dad is slow and needs more time please.


Dad also mentioned the banging of fire doors at night wakens him.


He loves the food and the staff - well done and thank you!

Residents are well cared for by friendly, approachable, hard-working staff. The rooms are kept clean and fresh smelling.
A special mention should be given to the activities coordinator who ensures the residents are kept busy and entertained. Outings are also organised so they get the best out of life.

The staff are always friendly and welcoming to visitors. They are kind and caring with residents. The activities co-ordinator is excellent as she tries to encourage all residents to take part in daily activities.


The lunchtime menu would benefit from a little variation as soup and sandwiches daily

can be a little boring.


The annual increase in fees has been well over the rate of inflation over the last 3 years and I think this is unfair to those residents who pay for their own care.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.173)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.173) out of 10 for Berkeley Village and Cuerden Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 6 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 4.220 for Berkeley Village and Cuerden Grange is calculated as follows: ( (53 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.22
  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 3.953 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Berkeley Village and Cuerden Grange is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 17 = 0.353
  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.
