When you find the right care home, you know. The worry lifts and what felt impossible becomes clear. This is life at Berkley.
Our award-winning homes have been listed multiple times as a top 20 care home by carehome.co.uk, as well as being winners and finalists in the Care Awards 2020. Why? We focus on what makes life worth living. Morning tea on the terrace. Laughter over cocktails. Residents tending gardens they planted themselves. This is what outstanding care looks like.

Families tell us their loved ones are happier at Berkley. More social, more themselves than they’ve been in years. We provide the care and environment that helps people live well.

A window into dementia care reimagined, where the person, not the diagnosis, shapes the day.
Things families never think to ask and those little details that reveal so much.
At Berkley Care Group, we believe that the spaces within our homes should do more than simply look beautiful, they should bring people together, support connection and enrich everyday life. At Leycester House Care Home, this philosophy has recently come…...
The rain tap-tap-tapping on the window while, in here, we’re warm and dry, watching it fall.
Let us share a secret: when you don’t have anywhere to be, when you never need to worry about leaky roofs or make your way through the weather to get to the salon, the restaurant, the coffee shop or the Champagne bar, April showers are actually a little seasonal pleasure 🌧️ 😊
Maybe it is hearing about a watercolour class during your Tuesday evening call.
Maybe it`s dad on the phone waxing lyrical about the book club he`s joined. Or maybe it`s one of our team letting you know that mum tried yoga for the first time and now won`t stop talking about it.
We believe living in care should be a time for opportunity and discovery, not decline. And we love seeing the look on families’ faces when they get to hear positive news like this again.
Come and see what care reimagined looks like.
Things you can’t do at home but CAN do in a Berkley home: request your favourite dish ever and the chef will always be happy to make it.
Our kitchen teams love a challenge. Cottage pie exactly as you used to make it? Spotted dick, but it has to have proper suet pastry? The perfectly spiced chicken tikka masala?
This is what we call Care Reimagined: putting our residents at the heart of everything we do.
Give us a call, come in for a cuppa and a slice of today’s cake, and let us show you what it means.
It’s the one sporting event of the year that’s guaranteed to bring everyone together.
From lifelong racing fans to those who pick their horse because they like the name, the Grand National is an early April tradition for us. As is all that comes with it: the 50p sweepstakes, the friendly debates about form and conditions, the seat-moving to ensure the best view in our screening rooms.
We know some things are better experienced with friends and watching big events like this is just one of them.

Should it be cream before jam on a scone? Or the other way around? What is best on a breakfast bacon roll? Ketchup or brown sauce (or even Mayonnaise…)? Are you a milk in tea first or last, or (controversially) not at all? 😱
Maybe you’re a custard fan, or does it have to be whipped cream on a sticky toffee pudding? Do you like your tea builder’s strength or so weak it is ‘helpless’ - as one of our residents once so perfectly described her preference?
Is black pudding a full-English essential or does it belong nowhere near your breakfast plate?
All vital questions…
And whatever you prefer, there’s a space for you at a Berkley dining table and someone who remembers, making you feel at home at every meal.
