Review from Chi-Chi U (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 March 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My sisters and I are happy with how the staff cared for my late mother and maintained constant communication with us. This gave us such comfort and reassurance particularly after the stress and panic of mum living alone. I especially appreciated the friendliness of the staff and the homely atmosphere
they provided. The fact that a member of staff took the time to attend mum's funeral and the memorial service are testaments to how much they understand and care about their work. Thank you Peartree!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I highly recommend Peartree Care Centre for all the wonderful care shown to my mother during her 10-year stay. All the staff are committed and carry out their (sometimes very difficult) duty with kindness, professionalism and a smile. The range of activities they have the option to take part in is vast
and varied. My mother loved participating in the ballet and came alive and animated holding a Geko and Spider. Well done to all at Peartree.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been staying at Pear Tree Nursing Home where the genuine kindness and gentleness of the staff have been outstanding. I have been able to spend nights with my father and the staff have been so accommodating and helpful that I know my father, now in the last stage of his life, will be looked
after with dignity, respect and most of all patience and understanding.
Thank you to the entire care team and management for your professionalism.

Review from Joy U (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 March 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
After months of rigorous research, we settled upon Peartree. We can honestly say that it was one of the best choices we made for our mother. Peartree staff are caring, consistent and respectful. They certainly engage with each resident as an individual. I'll give one example, I had taken mum off for
a brief outing to the High Street up the road. As we sat in the car a Peartree member of staff spotted us and came over to chat - her focus was my mother even outside the care home. She was so evidently joyful that mother was getting fresh air. It left a lasting impression.

Review from Rosemary M (Friend of Resident) published on 20 March 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My friend who I was Power of Attorney for had no close relatives living locally so she relied on friends to care for her. This proved difficult to do at home so I managed to get her into Peartree after a long stay in hospital. Peartree's staff were absolutely wonderful and cared for her really well
until she died in her lovely room in the home. I cannot thank them enough for making her last days so peaceful. I have also found the memorial service very uplifting and it is a lovely idea.

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.
