Sadly my Dad was only with you for three weeks but I've got to say that during those three weeks, he experienced nothing but 100% care and dedication from your team when I asked him if he was happy he said he was. The home was well-maintained very welcoming and very clean. The food was exceptional standard
and my Dad did say he enjoyed that they put on a barbecue with live music which my Dad said was a wonderful day and he enjoyed it. I want to thank all the staff from management down to the domestics for their love and support for my Dad and his last three weeks of life.
Reply from Scott Brooker, Business Development Manager at Cherry Hinton Care HomeThank you so much for your heartfelt review. We're deeply touched by your kind words and are honored to have been able to care for your dad during his final weeks. It means a lot to us to hear that he felt happy and well cared for, and we're glad he enjoyed the barbecue and live music. Creating special moments like that is what we strive for, especially when we know how much it can mean to our residents and their families.

My nan has been a resident at Cherry Hinton care home for just over a month now and has really settled in. This was a big move and I can say it has really changed her life for the better. From the social element of other residents and the friendly and helpful nature of all members of staff, myself and
my family couldn't be happier.

After visiting my grandad over the weekend, I wanted to update my review and share my thoughts on the care home. This place is amazing, over the previous weekend all the residents were outside partying and enjoying themselves in the garden. It was such a wonderful experience, with many smiles all around.
I have visited my grandfather several times at Cherry Hinton Care Home and have always been impressed by the experience. The facility is consistently clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant environment for residents and visitors alike. The staff are invariably polite, respectful, and attentive, ensuring that all the residents receive the best possible care. I am grateful for the peace of mind knowing my grandfather is in such capable and caring hands.

TLC Cherry Hilton Care Home is an environment where the residents are truly the heartbeat of the organisation.
A well-organised and cohesive team provides loving and compassionate care for my terminally ill Father (cleaners to home manager and nurses).

Our mother was poorly when we moved her to the nursing wing of TLC Home but as a family, we were very pleased we had chosen this Home. Mum received excellent care and as a family, we felt we were looked after as well through a very sad time for us. All the staff were very kind, attentive, courteous
and professional. We knew Mum was in safe hands, very, very important at a stressful time.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.956)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.956) out of 10 for Cherry Hinton 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 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.956 for Cherry Hinton Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (484 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 504 Ratings = 4.956
  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 Cherry Hinton Care Home is based on 43 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 43 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.
