I have already recommended the care home to a family member for their father. The staff are excellent, the home is clean and there are no old people smells, which I find excellent. They are always finding ways to entertain the residents eg bingo on a Thursday morning. It has a cafe looking out over
Leeds where the residents can take visitors to make a drink and chat.

My mother was cared for sensitively and with humour and compassion by a dedicated staff in a friendly, clean, warm environment. They did their best to ensure that she was comfortable and cared for, even though she was not happy in her last years and probably was quite challenging at times. My mother
was ever saying she wanted to come and live with us - this was never possible and you were the only option that gave us reassurance and lack of guilt to a certain extent - thank you.

If I had a criticism, it would be in the room itself. The carpet could be changed, as were the carpets in the corridors. Either that or vacuumed regularly to get the bits up. The hanging space could be improved with more space provided.

Reply from Krzystof Bialczyk, Home Manager at Berkeley Court

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide feedback on Berkeley Court. We are very pleased that you found the overall standard of the home to be excellent. We do have a daily cleaning programme within the home on each of our units. As you may have seen we have recently had all of the carpets in the corridors replaced. We are also working very hard with our domestic team to concentrate on the deep cleaning of our bedroom carpets.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Even when her dementia was obvious to all, I felt that I could look after her and the house myself. It quickly became obvious to friends and family that I could not. She came to Berkeley Court in September 2017. My health failed. I spent December 2017 in hospital. I asked to be discharged to Berkeley
Court so we could be together. That was good but exhausting. After three months I was worn out and asking for help. The manager and staff are being very helpful in splitting my day and relieve me from repetitive conversations about what day is it? do we owe anybody anything? who is in our kitchen? have we got something for tea?


I have moved to another floor, we share that room in the afternoon, read, write, sleep or watch TV. Immediately after tea, we say 'goodnight' and I am in my room alone to enjoy a welcome break. She is looked after by the staff, enjoys her evenings separately and I feel I can get the best out of sharing our care and having my own life.

The staff are extremely caring and supportive and treat problems with sensitivity and thought. They are always cheerful, helpful and proactive. The home is very clean, light, airy and pleasant with a welcoming atmosphere. A better internet speed with reliable access would be an added advantage.

My aunt has only been in the care home for a few months, but we (family) are very pleased with the way she has settled in, and she seems very happy. Each time we have been to visit there is always lots of staff around who are very friendly and helpful to answer any questions if necessary.

My relative has been a resident in Berkeley Court since 25th February 2013 when it was under the management of Ideal Care Homes, taken over by Anchor in September 2015. Since then, several changes of management staff have occurred and standards have been very good.
Staff who work and take care of
the residents in question have been excellent. She has been lucky to have the same carers all the time until she was moved to a nursing care home which is nearer for me to visit as age is not on my side and the travel to Leeds is not good with public or private transport. The transfer to the new home, arranged by Berkeley Court, was outstanding and she was accompanied by a carer. I thank all at Berkeley Court for all the excellent care for 3 years 7 months.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.694)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.694) out of 10 for Berkeley Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

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 4.694 for Berkeley Court is calculated as follows: ( (362 Excellents x 5) + (92 Goods x 4) + (26 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 481 Ratings = 4.694

  • 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 Court is based on 41 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 41 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.
