My dad was in the care home for only a short time due to his health. During that time he was treated with excellent care and dignity. Management and all staff were friendly and efficient with the care of my dad, keeping family members informed of any developments or needs. I would certainly recommend
this care home for residential care. 5 star.

I have not seen my grandad this happy, relaxed and this well in a long time. He hasn't been in Cherry Trees long but this difference is amazing. Coming to Cherry Trees has given him a new lease of life and a proper spring in his step. We are all over the moon he has made Cherry Trees his new home.

My grandad has recently moved to Cherry Trees and has settled really well. This is all down to the staff making it warm, caring and a friendly place. My grandad is so happy and content and is always smiling when we visit. It puts our minds at ease to see him thriving in the care home during the difficult
times of the pandemic.

After just a couple of weeks my dad has settled in Cherry Trees amazingly. He has lived alone for 6 years, with visits and help from family. An emotional time for us, moving him into care, but he absolutely loves it. He keeps saying he couldn't wish for anything better. Such a shame that at this time
we can only visit 'through the window' but under the circumstances that is sufficient, at least we can see him. The staff are amazing, very friendly and welcoming. He keeps saying he doesn't want for anything. He looks very comfortable in his new home. We are very, very satisfied and happy with his care. Thank you all.

Cherry Trees provided my Mum with a family. They entertained her, cared for her, comforted her and at the end, they were with her. They also cared for me. They knew when to contact me and when I was there, they welcomed me. They made me feel part of the team. They are professional, more than tolerant
and they share a wonderful sense of humour. They keep Cherry Trees clean, welcoming and fun; a real home from home.

Cherry Trees have recently cared for my mother until she recently passed away. Her care has been of the highest standard, especially during her last few weeks. My mother was treated with dignity, compassion and tenderness from every member of staff and I was confident that my mother received the best

Ever since my nan was moved to Cherry Trees, staff have been friendly and helpful. It has been difficult for us moving Nan to residential care but the staff are just so warm and have gone out of their way to help whenever I have been there and had a query.
Her room is always clean and she seems to
be settling and acknowledges how well cared for she is there. All members of staff speak with you on each visit and never seem inconvenienced by any requests you make of them. A really great care home which is made by the staff!

I have found Cherry Trees Rotherham employees very helpful, kind and courteous throughout my family member's stay. It seems to be well managed, clean and comfortable. Bedding is clean and changed regularly and the nursing staff caring and efficient and always prepared to answer questions. I have no

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.403)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.403) out of 10 for Cherry Trees Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.403 for Cherry Trees Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (294 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (44 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 380 Ratings = 4.403
  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 Trees Care Home is based on 28 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 28 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.
