Services at Fernhill House

Residential & Respite care

Residential care is for people who need help with day-to-day tasks like getting dressed, moving around and cooking. It’s also for those who could benefit from being part of a community. Live independently knowing our care team is here if you need us. Respite care provides the same benefits on a short-term basis. Whether it’s weeks or months, relax knowing you’re in safe hands.

Dementia care

Dementia affects everyone differently, so our approach is person-centred. We see beyond the diagnosis to recognise each person’s identity and life history. Our staff undergo specialised training to understand unique needs. From art therapy to gardening, we offer meaningful activities that improve wellbeing in safe, stimulating environments designed for comfort.

Nursing care

Our registered nurses provide 24-hour medical attention for residents with complex health conditions. We support people who’ve had strokes, recent operations or conditions affecting mobility. From administering medications to wound care, PEG and stoma care – our team combines medical expertise with compassion in everything they do.

Community living that feels truly welcoming

Community life is central at Fernhill House. State-of-the-art facilities certainly matter, but it is the social connections that make a real difference. Conversations over morning coffee, shared interests, new friendships formed over activities, all of it creates a natural antidote to the isolation that many people fear. Everyone is encouraged to be themselves while being part of something much bigger. Living somewhere genuinely warm and welcoming, with incredible luxury touches throughout, means that any worries about loneliness fade away completely.

As well as being part of a community, people thrive at Berkley because we recognise and celebrate them as the remarkable individuals they are. If it matters to them, it matters to us. This is how we reimagine care every day.

Your care

Care that works around what matters to you, not the other way around. We talk with residents and families to understand exactly what support each person needs, then fit that around their interests, routines and preferences. Some people need minimal help, others require more intensive support – either way, it’s designed around how you want to live your life here.

 

Our people

Fernhill House works because of the people – residents, families and our team. Everyone here has fascinating stories to tell. Residents arrive with decades of experiences, skills and knowledge that make conversations genuinely interesting. When people feel comfortable sharing their stories and being themselves, that’s what creates the warm atmosphere you’ll notice the moment you walk through the door. Our staff understand that their job is helping everyone feel valued and giving them opportunities to keep growing and learning.

There's rarely a single moment. Families usually notice a pattern: increasing falls, missed medication, weight loss, social withdrawal or carer burnout.

Our Fernhill House team are happy to talk things through without pressure, and a respite stay is often a gentle way to see if the home is the right fit.
