I am always greeted in a very friendly way by staff and management. Management are always happy to help with any enquiries. The staff and entertainment team are caring and supportive to the residents, encouraging them to take part in organised activities and happy to help them when asked.
Reply from Agnieszka Melgies, Deputy Manager at Cherry Tree Care Home

Thank you for a lovely review. It is nice to hear the way you describe Cherry Tree care home. It is always nice to hear our staff is 'friendly' and management is 'always happy to help'. If there is anything else we can do to make it even more comfortable for your family member, please let the team know.

Cherry Tree has provided a very caring home for my aunt now that she can no longer look after herself. The staff are wonderful and treat her with such kindness and dignity. The accommodation is lovely and communal areas are comfortable and are kept spotless. The staff know each and every resident so
well and care for their individual needs.

Very attentive staff willing to go the extra mile to make residents and visitors feel comfortable. Always spotlessly clean and food on the face of it, with plenty of variety. Management is aware of the needs of each and every resident. Would recommend it most definitely.

My mum has been at Cherry Tree for the past 18 months, and, although she found it difficult to settle at first, she is now content due to the care and support she is given by the manager and the staff team. Mum was especially well supported in April last, when her eldest daughter (my sister) very sadly
passed away. This was an extremely difficult time for Mum but the manager and staff at Cherry Tree were very sensitive and empathetic.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Such a wonderful place! Cherry Tree is a fantastic, caring and extremely friendly care home. All the staff, without exception, do an amazing job. They are kind, care-centred, hard-working, and go above and beyond to look after, not only the resident’s well-being but also family members too. At such
a difficult and emotional time, the care and support we have all received has been invaluable. The amazing managers are helpful and reassuring, and we have all been treated with such kindness and respect by all the staff. Aside from this, the home is welcoming, safe and clean, and has a very accessible and beautiful garden. I can’t recommend Cherry Tree highly enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister and I couldn't have wished for a better care home for our mother. The house is bright, cheerful and well-kept. There is a very homely, comfy sitting room, and a pretty and well-kept garden. Even more importantly, the staff are wonderful, really caring and loving. There is also a lot going
on, lots of people coming in to entertain, give exercise and craft classes etc. Our mother wasn't keen on joining in downstairs, so quite often someone would bring the crafts up to her room and make something with her. Nothing was too much trouble. When Mother arrived two years ago, she was underweight and had bedsores, within a couple of weeks, she'd put on weight and the sores were gone. If ever she was poorly a nurse would let us know. They were so kind and helpful to us when Mother died recently. Thank you everyone at Cherry Tree.

Review from Lynda A (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad went into Cherry Tree Care Home over the February half-term for respite while we were away. I was so nervous about it as he had previously had a very bad experience of respite at a different care home. I needn't have worried. Everything about Cherry Tree, from the first contact to the actual
care is first-class. During his ten-day stay, my dad put on 6lb (which was just brilliant as he had been off his food and losing weight) and thoroughly enjoyed his stay (he'd even booked himself in for another stay for when we're next away). The staff got his favourite beer in for him and he'd have lunch and a beer every day with some other residents and even had a bit of a sing-song with another guest one day. He's going to try the bingo next time as he regrets not having a go previously! The respite room was quite small which worried me to start with but my dad loved it and said it was cosy and wants the same room next time. I really can't speak highly enough of this care home - they are fantastic!

Staff are happy, respectful and dedicated to residents and their families. I've only known them six weeks and they embrace you as one huge family. The care home ticks all the boxes that I needed for my relative. I'm highly satisfied with all her needs being met. Nothing is too much bother. They all
go further for everyone. Thank you all.

We have had complete reassurance that Mum is in a home where she is well cared for in every way - personal care/nutritionally/socially, despite Covid restrictions. Her surroundings are extremely clean and well cared for; all the team are friendly and approachable and operate in a way that prevents problems
rather than react in a short term solution. When Mum's needs change, she is reassured that nothing is too much trouble.

Friendly staff. Cherry Tree Care Home is the perfect sized home in my opinion. Not too big, which would inevitably make it less personal. In very extreme times we have been made to feel very welcome during visits. We love that we can always approach management/nursing staff with ease and so any issues
are dealt with efficiently and always good humour (which I know they need in abundance)!
Beautiful garden which we have enjoyed all summer. Mum speaks very highly of the food which is a massive plus!
Thank you all!

Welcoming and friendly environment. Staff committed to delivering a high standard of care. My mother became a resident in May this year and she is thriving with the regular social contact from the staff and other residents, regular, good food and support for her well-being. She is also enjoying the
social events and is still talking about her 'fine dining' experience! As a family, we are relieved my mother is in a safe, caring environment. She has settled so well and is happy.

I cannot praise Cherry Tree Care Home highly enough. The staff are kind, caring and nothing is too much trouble for them. They are all stars! Cherry Tree provides entertainment, hairdressing and chiropody, and the catering is first-class - always a choice of menu. Visitors are made to feel welcome and

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.746)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.746) out of 10 for Cherry Tree Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.746 for Cherry Tree Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (265 Excellents x 5) + (74 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 346 Ratings = 4.746
  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 Tree Care Home is based on 29 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 29 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.
