The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Berkeley House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.
The Average Rating of 4.833 for Berkeley House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (202 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.833
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Berkeley House Care Home is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 84 registered maximum number of service users is 16.8, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager
Joined: 2017
I have worked in the care sector since 2008, and I have been with Bupa since 2017. Some of my previous roles have included; Senior Night Lead, Area Trainer, and Deputy Manager and I are now in the role of Home Manager. I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of fields within health and social and have many transferable skills and knowledge that I have gained over the years.
In my personal life, I am a massive animal lover, I love reading and music. My ideal evening is sitting by the fire with my dog at my feet reading a good book.
Job Title: Activity Coordinator
Joined: 2018
I have worked at Berkeley House Care home since 2018 but worked at another Bupa Care Home prior to this for 13 years. My main roles before becoming an Activities Coordinator were housekeeping and laundry. My journey with Bupa began as a housekeeper until my Unit Manager put me forward to the activities team. I haven’t looked back since! I applied for a job at Berkeley House as a new opportunity and the rest is history.
I am local to Berkeley House, just a five-minute walk away. I have a husband, two daughters and four grandchildren. My hobbies are going on holiday, seeing my friends and I am passionate about my eyelashes! I like music, dancing and being happy. My motto is “If you’re happy, I’m happy”.
Job Title: Maintenance
Joined: 2021
My career with Bupa began at the beginning of 2021, and I work in the maintenance department. I have nine years’ experience working in the facilities maintenance sector, five years of this was working at one of the top performing academies in the UK. I am now bringing my multi-trade skills to the care home sector to expand my knowledge, as well as supporting the residents as much as I can. I enjoy my role because every day is different. There are always new challenges and rewards, along with plenty of laughs and smiles. My main hobbies are spending time with my family and going abroad with my partner.
