Showing 10 of 100 residential care home in Berkshire that currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, out of 117 registered in total. Services with no published rating are excluded: newly registered services often have none, and no rating is not a poor rating.

A residential care home provides somewhere to live, meals, and help with personal care. It does not have nurses on site, which is the line between it and a nursing home.
People who can no longer manage safely at home even with visiting care, but whose needs are personal care rather than medical. Common reasons are advancing frailty, dementia where supervision is needed, repeated falls, or isolation.
Usually charged separately: hairdressing, chiropody, newspapers, some outings, and personal toiletries.
Fees are means tested through the council, with the £23,250 upper capital limit and the property rules above.
If your needs are primarily health needs, check NHS Continuing Healthcare, which is not means tested and pays for everything.
Use our means test calculator to estimate your contribution.
Visit more than once, and at least once unannounced around a mealtime. Look at:
Ask what proportion of residents are council funded. A very high self-funder rate usually means higher prices.
117 CQC-registered residential care home have a registered office in Berkshire, South East. Of those, 100 currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, which is the pool this ranking is drawn from.
That depends on your finances, not your postcode. Above £23,250 in capital you normally pay the full cost. Below £14,250 your capital is ignored. Your council carries out the financial assessment, and NHS Continuing Healthcare pays in full where needs are primarily health needs. 2026/27 thresholds for England.
It means it was rated Good at the last inspection, and the gap between inspections can run to years. Use the rating as a starting point, read the full report, and visit in person before deciding.
A residential home provides accommodation and personal care: help with washing, dressing, medication and meals. A nursing home also has registered nurses on site for people with medical needs such as complex wounds, PEG feeding or unstable conditions. CQC registers them as care homes with and without nursing.
Your property is normally counted for a permanent care home place, but it is disregarded if your partner, a relative aged 60 or over, a disabled relative or a child under 16 still lives there. There is also a 12 week disregard at the start, and a deferred payment agreement can let the council recover fees from your estate later instead.
Carevo does not inspect or endorse services. CQC ratings change between inspections. Check the current rating on the CQC website and read the full report before deciding.
