5 * all round. Everybody cares in every department. The caring team are all just special people. There are not enough words to praise their loving care, with dignity and patience. Mum was treated like family. Mum was always clean and nicely dressed, her nails and hair done. Her own clothes on, clean every day, all nicely pressed and hung up. Mum had her own things around her in a bright, airy room, with a lovely garden to look out on and sit in on warmer days. It’s great to go in and make myself and Mum a brew anytime, (not meal times). Like visiting at her own house. The food always looked lovely, freshly prepared. The Pub is nice for family gatherings or a change of scenery. (Even has beer if you want it). It is a very difficult decision finding someone to care for your loved one, I knew the 1st day this was the place. It felt right, homely, and clean, my instincts were correct. I thank you all with all my heart for being there for Mum when I couldn’t be. I will never forget the kindness.
My mum lived at Berrycroft for just over 2 years. Care was excellent, staff treated residents with dignity. My Mum's end of life care in the home meant that she was loved and cared for in her final days. With many thanks to all the staff.
A wonderful, five-star care home that I highly recommend to anyone looking to place a family member or loved one suffering from dementia.
Mum was very poorly in hospital last year and staff got and update daily (the hospital and family.
Very good. The staff are very good, understanding and excellent.
My aunt recently passed away after residing at Berrycroft for several years, due to Alzheimer's disease. The staff were always professional, friendly and caring. The home was always clean, tidy and warm. I give Berrycroft my unreserved recommendation.
My mum lived at Berrycroft Manor for 4 years. She was shown kindness by all staff. When we visited she was always nicely dressed with her hair combed. Berrycroft Manor has the most amazing outstanding carers and the manager has looked after us with clear communication and compassion shown. Thank you all Berrycroft Manor staff.
We have been very happy with the care given first to my father and now to my mother at Berrycroft Manor over the past few years. Apart from the excellent care to residents, the staff and management are also very supportive to the resident's families and are always pleased to help with anything we ask.
Our mother had exceptional care during her stay at Berrycroft Manor. She was not only looked after but the staff genuinely cared for our mother. Staff were attentive to her every need and catered for her as an individual. Everyone was wonderful. Communication was excellent, we were always updated on our mother's health. Nothing was too much trouble for staff. Our mother was happy, safe and comfortable. Thank you.
Prior to coming to live at Berrycroft we had tried respite care at another home who were unable to meet his needs.
The staff without exception deliver outstanding levels of care and are also supportive of ourselves the relatives who have found it hard at times to cope with his deteriorating condition and feel extremely happy with the care at the home. We would have no hesitation in recommending this home to other people.
The very high standard of care given to my mother was maintained throughout her stay. Both day and night, staff were very caring to both my mother and all the family. We were kept informed constantly by the staff and the D.N's
I would high recommend.
My mother has mixed dementia and had been living alone assisted by carers for some time. We were fortunate to get a place for her at Berrycroft Manor three months ago and they have been very helpful and welcoming there. Her physical health has improved greatly with their care and she is very content. The home is well maintained and clean and has a welcoming atmosphere. The staff all treat the residents with attentive care and understand their needs well.
My family cannot express enough our thanks for the love and care the staff at Berrycroft give to mum. This year has been particularly difficult as mum's dementia has escalated so much and she is very prone to falls. The staff on Rose Suite have been particularly understanding and have shown her such love and us such support. The residents are always clean and well-dressed and treated with dignity. The building is always clean and well-maintained and the staff at every level (carers, domestics, laundry, maintenance, cooks) are all so caring and friendly. We are sure that mum would not get better care anywhere else. We would certainly recommend Berrycroft to anyone looking for a home for a parent, partner or friend.
We put our father in Berrycroft about 3 months ago when he left hospital as he couldn't get around anymore. The care that he has received has been first class. We visit every day and we have seen that the staff are very cheerful and hard-working. Unfortunately, mum had to go in as a resident this week as her Alzheimer's has got much worse and she has been made very welcome as well. We feel as though we are a part of a large family.
My wife has been a resident in Berrycroft Manor for several years and is very contented and happy. The staff continue to be extremely kind and attentive.
Despite his deteriorating illness, which at times made him very bad tempered! He died in Berrycroft Manor and the staff could not have more caring and helpful at such a difficult time.

"Making residents smile is the most important thing to me. Whether that be by overseeing the staff to ensure they are delivering care with kindness and compassion, by sitting with one of my ladies listening to her tell stories about her family, or by cracking a joke with one of the old fellas. I go home happy after a busy day, knowing that my residents are happy".
