Review from D S (Resident) published on 22 June 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Staff friendly and helpful.
Food adequate choice, large helpings.
Accommodation good in most respects.
Build quality lacking in some respects due to poor sub-contractors.
Cost fairly high and increasing annually.
Residential living used to subsidise care homes. Not fair.
Reply from Mandy Scott, Home Manager at Berwick Grange

Thank you for your comments dated 15th June.
I am pleased that you feel there is an adequate choice of food as this is very important for the well being of our residents. Our kitchen staff work very hard to ensure we have a varied menu and to meet residents personal choices and their dietary needs.
Unfortunately I am unable to comment on the build quality. We do use sub contractors they are vetted through our estates teams and they do give feedback and monitor the quality of the work carried out in the homes.
To date I am unaware of any concerns regarding the quality of work from contractors, or concerns around fees, however we would be happy to discuss any such concerns if raised in the home or through our robust complaints policy, how to do this is displayed in the home.

Review from Marjorie (Wife of Resident) published on 22 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff here are caring and work very hard in taking care of the residents. However I feel they are constantly short staffed, especially at holiday times or if one of them is off for some reason. It is hard to treat people with dignity when the nature of the care required individuals constant care
for their toilet requirements. My husband finds this the most difficult part. Overall I think a few extra staff would improve things - allowing time to contact each resident in a friendly way which they have not always time to do (e.g. talking to them).

Review from Emily P (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 November 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I could not wish my mum to be in a nicer home! I can leave her content in the knowledge that she is safe and well cared for. There are plenty of activities taking place and all the residents are encouraged to take part. The staff are friendly and know the residents well. The staff are all long term,
there is low staff turn over meaning there is good continuity of care. Overall I give the home 10 out of 10!

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.881)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.881) out of 10 for Berwick Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 5 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 4.900 for Berwick Grange is calculated as follows: ( (54 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.9
  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 3.981 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Berwick Grange is based on 5 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 = 3.5
    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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 10.4 = 0.481
  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.

Steve Edgar

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2023

Steve Edgar is the Registered Home Manager at MHA Berwick Grange, having joined the home in June 2023. A qualified Registered Mental Nurse (RMN) since 1991, Steve brings over three decades of experience in both mental health and care home management.


Steve began his career in psychiatric nursing before spending 20 years with Leeds City Council’s crisis intervention and psychological therapies service, including nearly a decade as service manager. In 2011, he moved into the independent care sector and has since managed a total of seven nursing homes. MHA is the first not-for-profit organisation Steve has worked for—something he feels closely aligns with his personal values.


Alongside his RMN qualification, Steve holds a BSc (Hons) in Applied Psychology, a Diploma in Psychodynamic Counselling, and a Level 5 qualification in Coaching and Management.


Steve is passionate about team dynamics and believes the best care comes from well-supported, collaborative teams. His leadership style is calm, thoughtful, and inclusive, and he places strong emphasis on kindness, valuing everyone’s contribution, and creating daily moments of joy for people living with dementia. At Berwick Grange, Steve leads a team committed to building meaningful relationships and providing care in a homely, person-centred environment.
