My wife who has vascular dementia was accepted at Berrycroft Manor in March 2024. I have nothing but praise for this care home, all the staff are very friendly and caring. From the cleaners, laundry staff, maintenance, management, receptionist have a lovely caring approach to all the residents, know
everyone and are first name terms. Even when times are tough nothing is too much trouble. We as a family have nothing but praise for Berrycroft Manor. I know they go above and beyond for the residents.

I am floored and humbled by the care and banter here. Gorgeous workers, so passionate about the work. I feel so lucky that I can go back to Australia knowing my grandad is so well looked after and loved. The staff know him and they listen and care. I wish my mum's mum had a place like this in Australia.
P.S.
Amazing food but coffee does seem scary hot, only note!
Thank you so much.

My aunt has lived in the home for approximately three years. She has been very well cared for, very comfortable and happy in her final years. After hospitalisation, she returned for end-of-life care. This was managed professionally and with great sensitivity by the staff. The family are grateful indeed.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mum was a resident at Berrycroft for ten years. Every member of staff would acknowledge her and had their own bond/banter with her which she loved.
Her bedroom and ensuite were regularly cleaned and kept in good repair. The caretaker would assist if Mum asked for things like a picture to be put
up.
She was encouraged to sit in the lounge/dining area to enable her to engage with fellow residents.
Her needs were always met and managed/carers did as much as they could to support her in every area, i.e. always giving baths as she didn't like showers.
My mum was always dressed in clean matching outfits and used the hairdressing and food care facilities. Mum's nails were booked after by carers painting them colours of my mum's choice.
Mum was encouraged to continue to do as much as she could and was always treated with dignity and respect, the Berrycroft team became her close family constantly showing her love and kindness.
I couldn't recommend Berrycroft Manor more highly.

Reply from Val Ogden, Area Manager at Berrycroft Manor

Thank you for your lovely review. Your mum was loved by all the staff and had been with us a long time, she will be missed.

Mum has lived at Berrycroft Manor for the last three and a half years. We had visited a number of care homes in the area prior to Mum joining and felt that Berrycroft would best meet her needs.
Mum is provided with the specialist dementia care she needs. The staff are extremely caring, and they have
a very good understanding of her needs. They know when she is not well or not herself and very quickly organise the additional support needed and make the referrals required. Staff go the extra mile and are always available to talk things through. They also provide support to us as family members and offer reassurance.
It is not an easy decision to leave a loved one in the care of someone else, but we feel confident that we have made the right decision.

My mother has been a resident at Berrycroft Manor for just over four years. During that time her care has been adapted to her needs at all times. Berrycroft is a very caring community, the staff are professional and so good at what they do. My mother has had some health challenges and the staff have
always been there to support us. They certainly go the extra mile.

Berrycroft Manor is a very caring environment management and staff are very good. Rooms and common areas all cleaned to a high standard. Residents are well looked after and seem happy. I recently went to their annual garden party which was well organised the residents loved the 1940s singer and everyone

My Mum is very happy here, but I am not happy about the amount of agency staff that have been used in the past as from experience they don’t always take the time to read about the resident. I also feel that communication is not at its best regarding hospital appointments I feel that the staff do all
they can given how stretched they are.

We visited most of the care homes in the area before deciding this was the best option. Mum has been there for 18 months now and we are generally happy with the care given.
There is a reasonably high turnover in staff but that seems unfortunately to be the norm in this industry but there is always
the feeling that there isn't quite enough staff.
The other area I think could be improved is the amount of activities (both internal and external). More would be better.
I still think we made the right choice for Mum and she is generally happy and well looked after.

Mum has been at Berrycroft Manor now for just over 2 years. The staff have been brilliant with her as she has vascular dementia but is no trouble. Unfortunately, she couldn't stay at home on her own anymore and yes it was a difficult decision to make but she had been previously for respite to Berrycroft
after a fall and was very happy. The staff are excellent at letting me know if she has been unwell or is going on a trip which she absolutely loves. The view from her room is amazing looking over the hills which Mum takes great joy in looking at, especially in the winter.

Overall we are very pleased with Mum's care.
All staff seem caring and thorough in what they do. The office staff are also very good.
There does seem to be a lot of new staff and a high staff turnover. I suppose that is the current state of the care industry.

Dad has been so well looked after by the team - he is always well dressed and clean and thought is given to what he’s wearing and how he looks. Their communication with us as a family is good, and we feel involved in his care and consulted with him in terms of decision-making. The quality of the food
is exceptional, with a good variety offered both at meal time and for snacks or in between food. The home is clean and well cared for - we feel that the staff take pride in where they work and the quality of care they give.

My mum joined the community at Berrycroft Manor abruptly following a fall. The team were welcoming and very supportive of an older adult who had resisted the move into residential care. While a large care home with numerous residents, Berrycroft Manor is organised into community groups (Mum's was 'Holly')
so that there is increased potential for new arrivals to integrate and form new friendships.
She had been very lonely, and it was lovely to see a smile return as she engaged in the daily activities that were planned for the residents.
The rooms were as advertised - spacious, ensuite and with a view of something from the window - Mum's room overlooked the garden. She was happy there.
Mum had two conditions that meant that end-of-life was in the not-to-distant future, and she was only a resident for 151 days. The care at end-of-life (of both mum and her family) was nothing short of outstanding. The staff were powerful advocates for her to ensure that all her wishes were met.

My aunt lived close to Berrycroft Manor. After a fall that involved surgery for bleeding in the brain, she went from hospital to an assessment centre. Here she decided herself that she would like to go into Berrycroft Manor, as she knew some residents there and had visited them. So my aunt lived there
from August 2015 until her death in June 2023 aged 101. Although aged, my aunt was in fairly good health and mentally strong right up to the day she was taken into hospital. My aunt was taken into hospital and died, peacefully the same day. I am glad that having lived an active and an interesting life, she did not suffer a long final illness. Some health issues were dealt with efficiently at Berrycroft, such as radiotherapy for a minor skin blemish and the Covid pandemic was managed well, at least as far as my aunt was concerned. All things considered my aunt lived a comfortable final few years very well in Berrycroft Manor. Thanks to the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.724)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.724) out of 10 for Berrycroft Manor 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.724 for Berrycroft Manor is calculated as follows: ( (180 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 232 Ratings = 4.724

  • 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 Berrycroft Manor is based on 19 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 19 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.
