Review from David J (Son of Resident) published on 28 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has been in here 1 year now. I intended taking her out in January as lack of management, poor care staff, no engagement with mum, dirty home. Major improvements have happened this year. New manager, more caring and engaging. Home decorated plus internal changes has made this a very happy home for
mum. Thanks to all the current carers, please try to reduce agency staff which is currently apparent. Thanks.

Review from R J (Husband of Resident) published on 7 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife became a resident in September 2017. Approaching the home, the garden was overgrown and unsightly, inside the home the staff were welcoming and friendly.
The room I was shown was fine, clean, airy, incorporated ensuite, tele and fridge.
Outside the room it needed more serious T.L.C.
Since
the new manager arrived, decorating has been done, carpets replaced, aquarium put up in the hallway, pictures put up, pagoda erected in the garden, flowers put in containers, fence repainted, a real transformation.
Well done to the new manager who acted so swiftly.
A job well done.

Berkeley Court is a modern facility which is well maintained with a welcoming environment. Staff are caring and compassionate. Occasionally agency staff do cover some shifts. My mother is happy and content in this home. I visit very regularly and I am satisfied that her care is up to standard and consistent.
Activities are arranged but I feel there could be more on occasions. The home environment is clean and my mother eats well and her personal care is maintained to a good standard. The home is a safe living environment and I am pleased that my mother is well cared for in a good home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am delighted with the Berkeley Court Care Home. I feel happy because my mum (who has dementia) has settled here. The carers are wonderful and my husband and I have made an effort to get to know them.
Mum is well looked after. The carers know Mum's personality and they always have a smile on their
face.
They are very conscientious.
The home is bright and cheerful.
We feel we can approach management if we have a query.
The manager is excellent, as are supporting staff.
Well pleased.

My mother has been in Berkeley Court since December 2015. During this time, through trials and tribulations, all the staff have been remarkable.
My mam was reluctant to leave her flat and struggled at first.
Since then three spells in hospital has seen her asking to go home - meaning Berkeley Court
- that is the ultimate accolade I can give you, that this is her home thanks to the staff here.

I have no hesitation in recommending Berkeley Court. The staff are very caring. The place is beautifully clean and very light and airy. The lounges are bright and light and large. It is a joy to come and visit Mum and Dad. The atmosphere is calm. The staff are very warm and welcoming. It is excellent
value for money.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been a resident since May. Each visit I make I have been met by friendly staff, with regular updates on my father. He likes to rise early and is given a cup of Tea no matter what time. This is very much appreciated. He is encouraged to keep hydrated which was an issue when he was at home.
The home is clean. Staff friendly and somewhere I am happy to have my father live.

I have already recommended the care home to a family member for their father. The staff are excellent, the home is clean and there are no old people smells, which I find excellent. They are always finding ways to entertain the residents eg bingo on a Thursday morning. It has a cafe looking out over
Leeds where the residents can take visitors to make a drink and chat.

My mother was cared for sensitively and with humour and compassion by a dedicated staff in a friendly, clean, warm environment. They did their best to ensure that she was comfortable and cared for, even though she was not happy in her last years and probably was quite challenging at times. My mother
was ever saying she wanted to come and live with us - this was never possible and you were the only option that gave us reassurance and lack of guilt to a certain extent - thank you.

If I had a criticism, it would be in the room itself. The carpet could be changed, as were the carpets in the corridors. Either that or vacuumed regularly to get the bits up. The hanging space could be improved with more space provided.

Review from P D (Resident) published on 4 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Even when her dementia was obvious to all, I felt that I could look after her and the house myself. It quickly became obvious to friends and family that I could not. She came to Berkeley Court in September 2017. My health failed. I spent December 2017 in hospital. I asked to be discharged to Berkeley
Court so we could be together. That was good but exhausting. After three months I was worn out and asking for help. The manager and staff are being very helpful in splitting my day and relieve me from repetitive conversations about what day is it? do we owe anybody anything? who is in our kitchen? have we got something for tea?


I have moved to another floor, we share that room in the afternoon, read, write, sleep or watch TV. Immediately after tea, we say 'goodnight' and I am in my room alone to enjoy a welcome break. She is looked after by the staff, enjoys her evenings separately and I feel I can get the best out of sharing our care and having my own life.

The staff are extremely caring and supportive and treat problems with sensitivity and thought. They are always cheerful, helpful and proactive. The home is very clean, light, airy and pleasant with a welcoming atmosphere. A better internet speed with reliable access would be an added advantage.

My aunt has only been in the care home for a few months, but we (family) are very pleased with the way she has settled in, and she seems very happy. Each time we have been to visit there is always lots of staff around who are very friendly and helpful to answer any questions if necessary.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My relative has been a resident in Berkeley Court since 25th February 2013 when it was under the management of Ideal Care Homes, taken over by Anchor in September 2015. Since then, several changes of management staff have occurred and standards have been very good.
Staff who work and take care of
the residents in question have been excellent. She has been lucky to have the same carers all the time until she was moved to a nursing care home which is nearer for me to visit as age is not on my side and the travel to Leeds is not good with public or private transport. The transfer to the new home, arranged by Berkeley Court, was outstanding and she was accompanied by a carer. I thank all at Berkeley Court for all the excellent care for 3 years 7 months.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.715)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.715) out of 10 for Berkeley Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.715 for Berkeley Court is calculated as follows: ( (335 Excellents x 5) + (81 Goods x 4) + (22 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 438 Ratings = 4.715
  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 Court is based on 36 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 36 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.
