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.

Why chefs from Michelin kitchens and restaurants choose care, and what happens when you ask three to bake against each other.
In 2026, the average UK care home costs £1,298 a week for self-funded residential care and £1,535 for nursing care. Luxury all-inclusive homes typically start from around £1,800 a week. But here’s what nobody tells you and why a headline…...
Why Berkley Care has created its own signature cocktails with one of the best mixologists working today.
"Summer cooking implies a sense of immediacy, a capacity to capture the essence of the fleeting moment."
Elizabeth David knew.
She believed that good food did not need to be complicated. That the best cooking started with the best ingredients, handled simply and with respect. She transformed how Britain ate and she did it by insisting on one thing: honesty on the plate.
Our chefs cook this way. Seasonal produce, properly sourced, given the respect it deserves. No shortcuts, no pretending something is fresh when it is not. Just ingredients in full glory prepared in a way that seems to speak to something beyond the plate.

The summer holidays have started and our homes can tell.
There are small shoes everywhere. Cake trolleys need to be restocked by half past ten. And there are plenty of adventures being had in the gardens.
Our residents LOVE this. The energy changes completely when grandchildren arrive and it does not go back to normal until they leave, usually several hours after the intended departure time, covered in paint, grass stains and crumbs.
At Berkley, we are not a care home that accommodates families. We are a home where families turn up whenever they like, kick off their shoes and stay for lunch.

As promised. The Meadow, the summer cocktail we created with Irina Miroff, step by step.
We have been serving these since the shoot and our residents are complete devotees. Quite literally, the perfect recipe for a long July evening.
You will need: 40ml Golden Hour gin, 15ml Suze, 20ml honey water (made with wildflower honey), 25ml lemon juice, 10ml wild nettle cordial, 3 drops of orange blossom water and 3 dashes of saline. Shake hard over ice, strain and serve straight up in a chilled glass. Finish with a single yellow flower.
The secret, according to Irina, is the pinch of saline. It makes everything else sing.
Tag us if you make one at home!

Tonight, the Berkley Care Group family will be cheering alongside the whole of the country. Roaring, even. 🦁🦁🦁
Across our homes, residents and team members will be gathering to watch the match together.
In England, football has a remarkable way of bringing generations together. It sparks memories, creates conversations, and reminds us that the greatest achievements come through teamwork, resilience and believing in one another. And nothing reflects that quite like these England lads.
To the England team. Thank you for inspiring the nation.
From everyone at Berkley Care Group, we’re behind you all the way.
Come on England! 🏴 ⚽

It’s a hot July day. Which do you choose?
A lolly from the ice cream trolley or a homemade scone with jam and cream?
Our residents are (strawberry) split. The trolley fans say nothing beats a cold lolly in the garden when the sun is out. The scone lovers say it is not even a question. Nothing beats a cup of tea and a proper fruit scone made that morning with jam and fresh clotted cream.
Where do you stand?
