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.

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…...
How embracing neurodiversity can address the care staffing crisis
The story of a pioneering collaboration between Berkley Care Group and Sky Wave Gin. A luxury care group and an award-winning distillery. Residents who know exactly what they want when it comes to their favourite tipple. And a bespoke gin…...
For the last few months we’ve been enjoying our gardens from inside, watching as snow melted, the frost retreated and the first green shoots began peeping out of bare earth.
Now we get to experience that magical seasonal shift into spring, and the first evenings of the year when it’s warm enough for residents to sit on the terrace a while after dinner.
We’ve all missed this.
Happy Easter, everyone!
Across our homes, our residents are enjoying ALL the familiar traditions today and feeling that definite shift towards the lighter, warmer seasons.
And, of course, there is an absolute treasure trove of chocolate eggs…
Our chefs are busy too, baking fresh hot cross buns and roasting seasonal lamb. Daffodils and spring flowers brighten every room, and our drivers are busy taking residents out to church services and to visit relatives.
This is Easter, Berkley style.
Come and see the warmth and life of our homes yourself. Once you’ve finished being the Easter bunny, of course.
We know it. That smell. Warm, sweet and malty. It embodies EASTER!
And the way it seems to float into every room, drawing us towards the bistro.
The way the butter melts after toasting. The fact our chefs got up extra early to ensure the first batch of hot cross buns were ready for elevenses.
Seasonal baking is one of our specialities.
So, as you can imagine, we get a bit excited at this time of year.
Our chefs are genuinely excited about asparagus season.
And they never miss the chance to serve proper British produce, simply cooked and served with the respect it deserves.
This is seasonal eating at its best. And our residents love it.
Our service begins before anyone sits down. Napkins are folded, cutlery is placed just so, glasses are polished and today’s menu is put in place. We know who’s going to be first through the door first, we know who likes the same table every time, we know who’s just started a special diet but still wants an extra biscuit.
We think of it as the work that bring the occasions to life, from the two-hour Sunday lunches to the Wednesday afternoon when someone just fancied a pot of tea and a quiet corner.
Our teams do this with the same dedication every single day. This is care reimagined.
