Report published 1 January 2019 · Last inspected 23 November 2018

Inspectors found that Berkeley House, a purpose-built nursing home for adults with acquired brain injury, learning disability or mental health needs, gives care that is responsive and goes beyond basic support.

Strengths noted

  • Support plans and risk assessments were individualised, developed with families, and backed by multidisciplinary input from physiotherapy, occupational therapy, psychiatry and psychology.
  • Relatives and healthcare professionals gave very positive feedback about the difference the home has made to people's lives.
  • Leadership was described as strong, with a clear vision, person-centred clinical governance, and quality improvement plans that involve people and staff.
