The Review Score (maximum of 10) is made up of a Quality Score (maximum of 5) and Quantity Score (maximum of 5):
Quality Score: 5 Points are available for the average rating. For each review the care home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The care home / service receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating. (Please note that the ratings of Very Poor and Poor have only been available since the change from Recommendations to Reviews on 7th July 2015.)
The Quality Score (average rating) of 4.46 for Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 113 Ratings = 4.46

Any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this care provider to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
Any Recommendation. Before the change from Recommendations to Reviews on 7th July 2015 all feedback was limited to Recommendations (ie positive comments only)
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
3 points for receiving the first Positive Review.
0.1 Point per Positive Review, up to a maximum score of 1 Point. (ie a care home / service requires 10 Positive Reviews to receive the maximum score of 1 point.)
(Number of Positive Reviews ÷ number of registered beds) x 2, up to a maximum score of 1 Point. ie a care home / service has to receive a number of Positive Reviews equal to half of the number of registered beds to obtain the maximum score of 1 point. eg a care home / service with 40 registered beds has to receive 20 Positive Reviews to obtain the maximum score of 1 point.
(For Adult Day Care Centres and Extra Care Housing which do not have a registered number of beds, 1) and 2) are replaced by the formula of 0.2 points per Review, up to a maximum score of 2 points. ie a listing needs 10 Reviews to receive the maximum score of 2 points
The Quantity Score of 4.26 for Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor is calculated as follows:
10 Positive Reviews = 3
0.1 x 10 Positive Reviews = 1.000
(10 Positive Reviews ÷ 77 Registered Beds) x 2 = 0.260

Our mother was a resident of Cherry Blossom Manor Care Home for 14 months until her death. She was well cared for, treated in a very good manner. It was very comforting for us to know she was in a safe and caring environment.

First I must state that the staff are excellent and it is heart warming to see the interaction between staff and residents. I have visited for over 2 years, food is good and residents have a certain amount of freedom which is good. I'm not there 24-7 but sometimes wish there were more staff for one to one time. Thank you.

Recommendation submitted from a Postal Card by Denise B (Daughter of Resident/Service User) on Thursday 3 September 2015. Recommendation relates to August 2015.
My mother was at Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor from April - Aug 2015. She received excellent care and attention. Nursing staff were excellent. She was able to return to her own home due to the support that she received. I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursing home to others. Family were always welcome and staff were always polite and friendly.

Recommendation submitted from a Postal Card by Jane W (Daughter of Resident/Service User) on Friday 31 July 2015. Recommendation relates to July 2015.
The care my elderly mother received whilst a resident at Cherry Blossom Manor for over two years were excellent. The staff are attentive and kind and appreciated the individual needs of the residents. Everyone from the person who served the tea and coffee, to the cleaners, the care assistants, the senior nurses and the management team were amazing. If all nursing homes could be like Cherry Blossom Manor the elderly care in the UK would be fantastic.

Recommendation submitted from a Postal Card by Margaret L (Resident / Service User) on Wednesday 11 March 2015.
You don't have to worry. You are in good hands. If you have a problem, you can just ask! Medical staff frequently check up to see if you're OK. I like my room, I have a door so I can go out, I am happy. The only thing I miss is driving! The people are nice and that's the main thing.
But I do still feel like I have freedom. If there is certain foods you don't like they will make you something else. It's a good home, no doubt about that! It is better than being on my own!

Recommendation submitted from a Postal Card by Anni A (Resident / Service User) on Wednesday 11 March 2015.
The room is very equipped with towels, furniture and TV. I really enjoyed the food and there was a lot of choice.
I went to a quiz afternoon, but wish there was more going on at times.
All the staff are very friendly and when I ring my bell they come to se me straight away.

My mother was in the care home for roughly 1 month after leaving Basingstoke Hospital for Rehab purpose.The carers were brilliant with mum at 93 they got her walking with aid of her stick as well as a 4 wheel pusher,can dress herself, can get to the toilet on her own and wash herself - this is great, as she has her dignity back as this is the mum we know.
The home provided the patience and trust which mum responded to, this has given her the confidence to get around not only in my home but more importantly her own home. Thank you so much "Cherry Blossom Manor"
