From the very beginning, when my Mother first entered Peartree, at the age of 80, I have felt that I have gained, rather than lost a family member. It has been difficult in the last year, owing to the Covid-19 Emergency, but information, news and personal contact has been professionally and considerately
managed, always with the resident family member as the primary driver. I am comfortable that she is in safe hands.

Under difficult Covid conditions, Peartree Care Home looked after my friend with care and humanity. He was comfortable with the support he received, and it helped a lot that staff took an interest in him as an individual.
It was much appreciated that staff took the trouble to keep us informed of any
changes in his condition, and were as helpful and as generous as regulations allowed with visits.
He was allowed to slip away gently and with dignity.

Thank you for your kind words, it was an absolute pleasure to care for and get to know your friend. He was kind-hearted and inspirational.

My mother was transferred to Peartree after her care home was closed down. I couldn’t be happier with the move. The staff and the care home premises are second to none. The home is clean, light and airy and the staff are caring and incredibly helpful. Mum seems to have settled in well in such a short
time.

I visit my Aunt on a weekly basis and travel form Yorkshire to meet her. She looks happy, always well kept. The staff are kind, not just to my Aunt but also to me. She has been the best I have seen in the last two months since moving to Peartree, in comparison to the last two years when she was receiving
care at home. Thank you, Peartree, especially 2nd floor. Love you guys.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum was at Peartree for a respite stay for two weeks. I initially had reservations about leaving my mum in a respite /care home for the first time, but I can say all my worries and myths on care homes have now changed for the better.
Mum had a wonderful time during her two weeks, she became more
confident in walking around. She loved the involvement with all the other residents. Each time someone came to visit Mum and brought her to her room to spend time with her, she just wanted to go back to the communal room with her peers.
Mum eats well and enjoyed meal times in the group. Her room was spacious and clean, she even had her own TV. Staff were very caring and helpful.
If we need to use the respite service again. I would not hesitate on sending Mum back to Peartree Care Home.

My mother was in Peartree for over two years and they were the best two years she could have had, sadly she died in August. However, the care she had was outstanding. The staff was amazing especially on floor 2. My mother loved it in there and she was so well looked after with so much love as well.
For me, I feel sad my mum and myself never had more time as they have become family to me. This care home is outstanding. The end of mums life she was cared for so so well, my thanks to you all.

Review from Theresa (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 July 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Peartree tries to make sure that the residents feel as comfortable as they would do in their own home by allowing them to be surrounded by their own belongings in their rooms if they so wish.
They try to ensure that the residents keep up with activities they enjoyed doing before they came into care.
As well as indoor activities, some residents that are able, are taken to the seaside, museums and various outings of their interest.
It's good to know that your loved ones can spend time surrounded by other people in the lounge and also if you wanted to spend some one to one time together you can do so freely, whether it's in the garden, their room, tea room or the relaxing rooms that are available.
It is hard, however, for the carers sometimes to spend a lot of one to one time sitting with individual residents so the care home makes sure that each resident has a special day of their own so they can be pampered and be made a fuss of.

My Mother has been at Peartree for some years now and suffers from Dementia - the staff are very nice and welcome our visits at any time. There is a good atmosphere and the staff respectful and open to questions.
The rooms are clean and airy and we were encouraged to bring things like pictures, photo's,
small pieces of furniture to help Mum feel at home.


Thank you Peartree.

My husband came to Peartree for end of life care following a diagnosis in June 2018 of pancreatic cancer. It was a very difficult and stressful time but Peartree made him so welcome and safe and truly made what turned out to be his last month of life, something I can fondly remember. I cannot thank
you enough for your support and for bringing some light and hope into that very difficult time.

Although my mother has only been at the care home for a couple of months, we have experienced a professional and sympathetic approach to her condition.
The building is bright and clean and the staff are efficient and friendly and seem to care for the residents. The residents appear well fed and as
a family, we are at ease with Mum being in a safe and caring environment.

My friend was taken into Peartree Care Home 3 weeks ago. She is bedridden and needs full-time care. The staff are very good looking at after her needs. She has a lovely room.
I also lost a dear friend in December 2017, we went to visit 3 times a week for 10 months. The staff were marvellous in this
time. She went to Buckingham Palace but after this, she was too poorly to go on any other outings. She loved the Christmas party. Thanks to all the staff at Peartree Care Home.

I was recommended Peartree by the hospice where my mother-in-law was being cared for. I came to look and was really impressed with the cleanliness, friendliness and overall look and facilities. I accepted the room on my first look. I cannot fault the care and overall the home is perfect (I have looked
at many others).

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.
