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.

MYTH: “Once you go in, you can’t come out.”
THE REALITY: Care doesn’t mean giving up your freedom. At Berkley, it means having the support to enjoy it. Call us to find out more.
You know it the moment she picks up the phone. There’s something in the voice. It’s warmer, it’s more relaxed. The giveaway: it’s the laugh that’s been missing, and the way she starts telling you about something that happened at lunch before you’ve even asked how she is.
Families tell us this is when they know they’ve made the right decision. When Mum sounds like Mum again. And we’re so proud every time we hear it.
That’s what care reimagined can do: the spark, the spirit, that person you know so well returns.

MYTH: "Once you go in, you can`t come out."
We hear this one a lot, but it`s completely untrue. Many of our residents stay for days, weeks or months – respite care is a huge part of what we do. Others live with us long-term but come and go often. Shopping trips, family visits, theatre, swimming pool, outings with our drivers.
Care doesn`t mean giving up your freedom. At Berkley, it means having the support to enjoy it.
People have a picture in their head of what care means. Quiet corridors. Keeping yourself to yourself. Days that all feel the same.
Then they settle in and discover something completely different. This isn`t just care, it`s care reimagined. Book a tour of your local home and see it for yourself.
