I have been a volunteer in Peartree for approximately 18 months. My stepmom used to be a resident in this care home.
I was so impressed with the activities coordinator and the way that she inter acts with the residents.
This gave me an incentive to volunteer and I have no regrets. This care home
is one of the friendliest places. The staff are welcoming and the resident are happy and well cared for. It's a pleasure to be a part of such excellence.
Different activities everyday so refreshing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My partner has been a resident in Peartree for the past 5 months. I chose this home before he needed to become a resident, when I first visited Peartree in 2024 I was very happily impressed at first visit. Everyone extremely kind and professional, clean, I described how the staff related in a personal
way with each resident. I see now how my loved one is looked after with respect, dignity and in a loving way to each detail. He always looks clean polished always smiling as he's always been. I asked my loved one how he feels, these are his words "it's brilliant, everything is good and I feel good." He has settled in very well and that gives us peace of mind knowing he is happy.

My mum has been cared for at Pear Tree for over 1.5 years now and she seems happy. The staff are always helpful and friendly, her items in her room are kept well, she is always clean, her room is always clean and the nurses communicate about anything that needs to be communicated. Its not possible for
me to take care of my mum on my own at home then I am happy for her to be looked after by the team at Pear Tree.

I have been attending the home on a weekly basis for the past year. I have always found the staff welcoming and had no issues with visiting, including times. My brother's room is always clean and he is well-presented. He has never complained or found fault with the home. I have been present during meal
times, which look very good. I am kept up to date with any issues and so far cannot find fault. Staff do and amazing job.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.951)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.951) out of 10 for Peartree Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 51 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 51 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 4.951 for Peartree Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (578 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 608 Ratings = 4.951
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Peartree Care Home is based on 51 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 51 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
