Berkshire Care Directory - listing of care providers and residential/nursing homes

If you are thinking about moving into a care home or arranging care for a relative or friend, you can find useful information and advice in the Berkshire Care Directory*.

The independent Berkshire Care Directory is a good first stop to also discover more about home care providers in our area. There’s also information about Care at Home and Care Agencies - West Berkshire Council on West Berkshire Council's website.

Look at the Care Quality Commission  website for inspection reports. CQC monitor, inspect and regulate services to make sure they meet fundamental standards of quality and safety and  publish their findings, including performance ratings to help people choose care.

If you would like a copy of the booklet posted to you please see contact details  to the right.

*The Berkshire Care Directory is an independent publication produced by Octagon, funded through advertising by care providers. It offers general guidance on arranging care and lists care homes and home care agencies across Berkshire. Hard copies, PDF and e-book versions are supplied free of charge to West Berkshire Council and other Berkshire councils to distribute to self-funders. While Octagon aims to ensure the accuracy of the information at the time of publication, details may change. 
Inclusion in the publication does not imply endorsement by Octagon or West Berkshire Council, and neither can comment on the quality or range of services offered, including those listed or advertised.
Please note: If you choose a provider as a self-funder and later become eligible for council-funded care, West Berkshire Council may not be able to continue with your chosen provider due to differences between private and council-commissioned rates.
