Cherry Tree Nursing Home

My sister and I found Cherry Tree absolutely fantastic in every way. The staff are very helpful and friendly. If I end up in a care home I hope it is Cherry Tree.

The team at Cherry Tree Nursing Home looked after my aunt for the last seven years of her life. She was treated with warmth, humour and respect for the entirety of her stay. Their friendly and efficient care ensured she was always safe, secure and comfortable. She regarded many of the staff as friends.

I found the carers to be extremely caring, professional and friendly. They built great rapport with my dear friend who could be difficult at times. They encouraged him to stay as mobile as possible until his last days and they tended his leg ulcers with great diligence. They were totally invested in his wellbeing and he died peacefully and comfortable.

We cannot find enough words to do justice to the care and support that was given to our father in his final weeks. The whole team were friendly, respectful and caring, and each person went above and beyond to make us feel that our dad's well-being and comfort were important and a priority. The atmosphere was so warm, and the grounds are really beautiful. Thanks go to every member of staff for their input at such a hard time.

My father was very poorly when transferred to Cherry Tree Nursing Home. He was warmly welcomed and cared for sensitively and just how we would have wanted. The lady at the reception desk always welcomed my mother like family, and all the staff were calm and kind. The manager always made time for us, and the nurses were so sensitive. The caseworkers were well-trained and kind.

My mother was welcomed to Cherry Tree for end-of-life care. From the moment she arrived, the care team were ready and waiting making her transition as smooth as possible. All the staff knew her name and quickly made my Mother comfortable and we were made welcome. Everything was clearly explained. Throughout her short stay, we found the standard of care and compassion exemplary. We shall be forever grateful for the support and peace at Cherry Tree. Thank you.

We came across Cherry Tree Nursing Home when looking for a home for our Dad to relocate to from hospital that could provide him with end-of-life care. From the very first phone conversation with the home manager to Dad’s final day we couldn’t have felt more supported which was really appreciated at a difficult time. Cherry Tree is set in a peaceful location surrounded by nature but what was really meaningful to both Dad and our family was the excellent care given to him by all Cherry Tree staff, treating him with respect and humanity at all times for which he expressed his appreciation. The care and support given to our Dad and our family was second to none and we will be forever grateful.

My mother has been living at Cherry Tree Nursing Home for nearly three years with MS. Since the reopening after Covid, I feel the care home has done a good job in ensuring patients are more engaged and supported. I am happy with the care my mum receives and the carers have built a very affable relationship with her. I would not want to move my mother anywhere else and would recommend Cherry Tree to others.

My mum was transferred to Cherry Tree Nursing Home from hospital after a fall left her unable to be cared for at him. From her arrival, she was treated with humour and dignity. She was encouraged to participate in activities, interact with other residents and generally to get the most from her stay. Unfortunately, she suffered a stroke weeks after her arrival and I have to say the standard of 'end-of-life' care was exemplary; from the care assistants to nurses, clinical lead and to visiting doctors. Nothing was too much trouble - just what was needed. Thank you.

With the new manager on board, she has made an impact. Cherry Trees Nursing Home is a beautiful setting but now has the compliment of a good manager who has made my mum's care far better, including a daily needed visit from the manager for reassurance, an overview of her medication or simply ensuring her meals are cut up. The manager listens with endless care and oversees action taken. The care team are just lovely and smiles through all demands made of their days' work. Special thought for the loveliest reception welcome, nothing is too much trouble, and maintenance care, whether it be a picture on the wall or a broken tap swiftly fixed. Thank you all for your care of Mum. We are most grateful.

I don't think you could find a better nursing/care home, it is excellent. Also, I would like to thank the staff for their work here.

Based on our experience, my aunt also stay at Cherry Tree for extended respite following a hospital stay and was similarly well looked after. She required ongoing treatment for infected wounds and the staff were particularly conscientious at tending these so that she healed properly and could return home.

The one downside I can see is with basic toiletries. My friend feels it is very embarrassing and degrading to have a young man taking her to the toilet, changing her pads and cleaning her up. I can understand this and feel it would be more appropriate for the male staff to deal with the men and female staff to deal with the ladies.

Thank you to everyone who looked after my mum.

We are so impressed with the care Mum is receiving at Cherry Tree Nursing Home. All the staff are so caring and attentive and Mum seems so comfortable and at ease. Whenever we visit she is always well-presented and well-groomed which is lovely to see as she has always been very proud of her appearance.

Our lovely mum has been a resident here since August 2022. We, as a family, are so happy with the care she receives. All carers, nurses, cooks, cleaning staff and managers are so kind and caring. I have also met the new manageress and she has lots of ideas for new activities and family days. As a family, we were so apprehensive about Mum living at the home but it really has been the best decision for her. We are always popping in and are always welcome.

Great service, very accommodating. Friendly staff, very helpful and kind. Great accommodation and clean.

My mother was a resident for one and a half years. She had a stroke, leaving her bedbound and needed admission. She has always been treated with great care, kindness and dignity. The staff got to know her likes and dislikes and understood her problems and frailties. I always was reassured when visiting that she was loved and helped. Despite Covid meaning staff shortages for a while, I would recommend 100%.

Visit to review mother's care. Very impressed with mother's care mother is receiving. The staff was very accommodating, listening to relatives' impressions of the nursing home in order to carve out superior care.

My father came to Cherry Tree Nursing Home for the last three months of his life from a hospice. What started as such a difficult time for all of us quickly became such a blessing. When it comes down to it what is really important about a nursing home is not the 'bling and baubles' but the care that our loved ones receive and at Cherry Tree it was wonderful. I spent a lot of time with my father in his room and I can honestly say I never heard a raised voice, only respect and empathy for the patients. It is a busy place and not perfect all of the time but the team always listen to any concerns however small and endeavour to rectify them. Nothing was too much trouble, we installed tv and his favourite chair from home - even a room change for a better view of the beautiful garden. I want to thank them all for making the last three months of my precious dad's life happy and my time with him something to cherish - I was able to be his daughter whilst they gave him dignity and comfort.
