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 Berkley Care has created its own signature cocktails with one of the best mixologists working today.
When full service care doesn’t fit but independent living is getting harder at home.
A window into dementia care reimagined, where the person, not the diagnosis, shapes the day.
As the warm weather continues, we`re reminded of the importance of staying safe, comfortable and hydrated.
At Berkley Care, our teams take a thoughtful approach to supporting residents during hotter days: from encouraging regular hydration and offering refreshing treats, to creating cool, comfortable spaces where everyone can relax and enjoy the sunshine safely.
Whether it`s enjoying a cold drink in the garden, taking part in activities during the cooler parts of the day, or simply spending time with friends in air-conditioned areas, the small things make a big difference.
A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful teams who continue to provide exceptional care and hospitality, helping residents make the most of the summer while staying safe and well.
Stay cool, stay hydrated, and enjoy the sunshine responsibly. 💙

Centre Court is calling…
It is the most civilised fortnight in sport. And it is ALWAYS an event at Berkley.
Our screening rooms go live from the first serve on 29th June. The strawberries and cream are ready. Pimm’s gets made properly. That means cucumber, mint from the gardens, a splash of lemonade and no shortcuts.
We have residents who remember watching the great rivalries of the sixties and seventies. And those who remember playing themselves every summer.
What we love is that Wimbledon is two weeks of brilliant, companionable sport. And watching it with friends, in a proper armchair, with something cold and delicious…
…well, that is rather hard to beat.

Excellence is in our DNA. Our residents and their families expect nothing less.
What did the duck say after he finished dinner?
Put it on my bill. 😄
What better way to celebrate Father`s Day than a stonkingly good dad joke?
Here`s to all the dads who have been telling the same jokes since 1987. Dads who have VERY strong opinions about the correct way to make a cup of tea. Dads who fall asleep in the armchair claiming they were just resting their eyes.
Today they get a Sunday lunch that goes on as long as anyone wants. A great roast with great company and favourite wines in one of our private dining rooms. And all around them, their greatest achievement: their children and grandchildren.
And at Berkley, there`s never an extra bill to pay for hosting your loved ones, because everything is included.
Happy Father`s Day to everyone from Berkley!

Twenty-one hours of daylight and our residents always make the most of them.
The longest day of the year has a particular energy at Berkley. Art classes, salon trips, treatments and manicures, trips with our drivers to visit museums or to go for a swim. Then there`s the entertainment: visiting singers, plays, musicians and local schools.
And the gardens at their absolute best for long, relaxing evenings with a book, a lovely cool gin and tonic and meeting friends under a sunshade to catch up on the day`s news.
Here`s to long days and long lives, well lived.
