Cherry Tree Lodge

I will be eternally grateful for the love, care and kindness my mum received at this care home, especially during her final days.

I always felt confident that Mum was safe, comfortable and very well looked after. She was fed extremely well and even had her hair done every week by the hairdresser - those thoughtful touches meant so much.

Whenever I walked through the doors, I felt I was entering a big, happy family. Mum was treated with genuine warmth, dignity and respect, and it was clear she was truly loved.

What touched me most was the care shown in her final days. The manager and members of staff stayed with her, even coming in on their days off or remaining after their shifts had ended, simply so she would not be alone.

Knowing Mum was surrounded by such love and compassion brought us enormous comfort. Thank you to every member of staff who cared for her and made her final days peaceful and dignified. We will never forget your kindness.

Great attentive & helpful staff who always go over & above to make residents feel safe, secure & keep them entertained - couldn't ask for a better service, my grandmother has had excellent experience & care for 5+ years now

My cousin, whose affairs I managed and who I visited regularly, was in Cherry Tree for nearly five years and I was always very happy with the care he received. This was a sentiment echoed by the family members and friends who visited him, and he said himself that he was content there. The place doesn't feel like "an old people's home"; it is a clean, bright and pleasant environment, and the small number of residents means there is a homely atmosphere, rather than an institutional feel. The food is good with a choice of options. There are plenty of activities and my cousin particularly enjoyed the musical afternoons and weekly quiz. The staff are friendly and happy to give updates. They share banter with the residents and treat them as individuals with their own rich histories and experiences. I would not hesitate to recommend Cherry Tree to those looking for a caring place for their loved one.

Fantastic care home looking after my mum. Staff are always polite and will do anything for you. My mum is well looked after and well fed. Plenty of activities during the week and pictures posted on social media so you can see what they're up to. Would highly recommend Cherry Tree.

I would recommend Cherry Tree Lodge.

Mum is being well cared for and Cherry Tree Lodge feels like a family home. Despite mum's unpredictable behaviour (she has dementia) the staff treat her well and look after her needs. I am very happy with the service they provide

My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimers in Jan 2022 and went into Cherry Tree in June 2025, after deciding in our opinion that it was the most suitable for us. The home is small enough to have a warming embrace to all its residents and visitors. All the staff should be congratulated from Managers to Cleaners because they are all welcoming and communicate pleasantly to residents and visitors alike, besides working extremely hard. There are plenty of daily activities going on to involve the residents. The food is excellent with several choices available, and there is an abundant supply of tea, coffee, soft drinks and biscuits throughout the day. Any medical issues are dealt with immediately via "on call" nurses, instead of having to wait for a doctors appointment. My daughter and I are very glad that we chose Cherry Tree and are very grateful for the love and care that my wife receives. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone.

Mum has lived at Cherry Tree Lodge for 4 years with very advanced dementia. At every stage in her journey the team here have worked exceptionally hard to meet her changing needs. She is cared for with genuine affection. The day room provides a cheerful environment. The rooms are clean. The menu varied and fresh. There is a good range of activities which the coordinator delivers with gusto! When Mum has been ill, the staff have recognised the need for medical attention and monitored her through to recovery. We are very grateful to the team at Cherry Tree for all that they do.

My mother moved into Cherry Tree Lodge due to the closure of the care home she had spent 2 years in. The manager and assistant manager visited my mum in the previous care home before her move to get to know her and answer any questions we had. This standard of attention to detail has continued throughout the last year she has been at Cherry Tree Lodge. All the staff have got to know my mum well, her moods, how to cajole her into eating, drinking and taking medication and generally keeping her happy. The home is very clean, smells lovely, cosy and warm, provides activities, serves tasty food, has great links with a local GP Surgery and paperwork is extremely well organised. I travel extensively but always know Cherry Tree Lodge has my mum's best interests at heart. It really is home from home.

From walking through the front door, you are in a clean, warm and welcoming home. They are kept interested and amused with activities by the staff, the management are excellent, we could not wish for a better home for him to be in.

I'm not impressed, firstly normal routine was ignored and a letter explaining usual habits read out in front of me and dismissed. Medicines replaced within 24hrs despite being supplied. No activity during the day, resulting in a struggle to re-establish normal routine. Lastly after expressed instruction to leave all laundry to bring home, he was sent back with clothes that did not belong to him and brand new trousers missing. Nurses were very pleasant but did not listen. Respite and nursing mixed. No outside space for the good weather. He was happy with the food and liked the carers.
