Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad was sent from hospital to Blossom Lodge on a D2A bed, so we hadn't chosen it and were not sure how it would be. Dad was quite frail with late-stage dementia. The staff were lovely and really good care of dad so well during the 2 1/2 weeks he was here. Every time we visited dad looked so clean and
comfortable with his favourite music on. There was always a member of staff popping in to see how we were doing and to provide some care. Sadly, dad died after 2 1/2 weeks here the we couldn't really have asked for more support for dad, mum and the whole family. Thank you.

Review from Ann E (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 August 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad has lived here for last last 4 years.
Sadly his health declined a couple of weeks back and he was discharged back to Blossom Lodge for end-of-life care. The care he has recieved these last 2 weeks has been exceptional. He has been treated with dignity and respect and kept comfortable. The staff
genuinely care and more than one carer has shed a tear with me this week and been there not only for Dad but the family as a whole.
It's the small things that make a big difference. One carer gave him her own bottle of flavoured water to do his mouthcare so he could taste something nice. To say he hadn't taken anything orally for 3 weeks his mouth was moist and in great condition so clearly oral care was done regularly and properly. The lights were turned low and gentle background music played, fans provided and regular check-ins by staff created a peaceful, comfortable environment for his last days.
Thank you everyone, your kindness will forever be remembered.

My wife has now been in Cherry Trees for 21 months, and we are both totally happy and settled and couldn't wish for a better care home. I look forward to visiting my wife because all the staff are so friendly and put you at ease, always have time for you. My wife has been settled since the start, and
the improvement in her is all down to the care she receives. All the staff go over and above in their treatment and friendliness. Thank you to everyone.

I would just like to thank every member of staff at Cherry Trees for their care, compassion and dignity shown to my Dad at all times during his short stay there. Nothing was too much trouble, Dad was always in clean clothes and clean bedding and I appreciate this was not always easy due to his illness.
Every member of staff was always kind and pleasant, he was never left alone when it mattered and I will always be forever grateful to Senior Nurse for being with us at the very end, you made a heartbreaking moment in time a little more bearable, I felt reassured by you being there. A safe, compassionate, caring and dignified place for any loved one to be. Thank you all again.

My dad was dropped without much warning on the care home by our local hospital, with little or no advice from them, but the staff made sure he was in a large corner room with en suite, TV and a comfy armchair. Dad was difficult to work with at the time, but they did all they could to make him comfortable
and my mum's visits welcoming. The management were helpful and worked with us and adult service to fill the void left by the hospital's mismanagement for the three weeks he was there, meaning that when Dad eventually came home, he was more settled than he had been for weeks.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.625)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.625) out of 10 for Blossom Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.726 for Blossom Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (140 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 186 Ratings = 4.726
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.899 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Blossom Lodge is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 89 registered maximum number of service users is 17.8. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.8 = 0.899
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
