Review from Diane P (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been at Pear Tree just over two weeks and the change in her is incredible.
Despite a lot of care visits at home my mum was still struggling, since being at Pear Tree she is doing so much better, she is now getting dressed each day, eating and drinking the lovely food and joining in lots
of the activities on offer.
The staff are wonderful and with lots of encouragement mum is now enjoying life in a way that is suitable for her situation, seeing the smile and little grins on her face again is so heart warming.
It was a very tough decision as a family to make this move into care for mum a very emotional journey for us, the staff have understood this and been very supportive to the family as we navigated this process. The support we have had during the visits to choose this home and since mum has been a resident has been fantastic. Thank you Pear Tree

My grandma, is always well looked after and we have a good strong communication between ourselves and the staff at the home. There is always activities on for the residents to do, which I really value as my grandma really benefits with interaction. Staff are always really friendly and polite and they
make a lot of our family when we come to see her.

My Uncle has stayed in Pear Tree Court for respite care on a number of occasions when he is not coping at home. He has arrived feeling tired, unwell and undernourished. Within a very short time of arriving he has rallied, feeling better and eating properly. The staff have always kept me informed of
his progress and of any concerns.

My mum is beginning to settle in at Pear Tree Court. She has had a really good experience with the carers since she moved in to her new home in early May. For me I am very comfortable with the care she is being given and how the home is dealing with her integration. She has many activities in which
to participate and is beginning to make some friends. She really enjoys the food. I am finally now relaxed about her environment and no longer worried about her living at home alone when her mobility had restricted her quality of life so much.


The introduction process, from one member of staff was also a key reason why we joined Pear Tree. Thanks.

Care home was good and nice environment, good patio in the garden. My room had a good patio door and a nice garden view, it made me feel relaxed and comfortable. Room temperature was perfect.
When I first visited the Care home, the staff gave me a very good introduction and made me feel welcome!
The
food deserts had too much sugar for me because I am diabetic. The food quality was generally good.

The care given to my husband was wonderful, he was in the later stages of Alzheimer's. He was involved in activities that I didn't think he
Would manage but he enjoyed them.
He had a tendency to fall so great care was taken to protect him to avoid injury
My dog and I felt very welcomed in the
nursing home
The GP attended regularly
It meant at the end of his life he was given exceptional care which was a great relief for me

All staff are dedicated to ensuring that mum has a good care experience and she has said the food is delicious.


There is a broad spectrum of activities going on every day and mum has the opportunity to engage in these

activities at Pear Tree Court. She particularly enjoys the arts and crafts, knit and natter and gardening activities.

My father is very happy at Pear Tree Court and this to me is paramount in my father's

All the team are kind and very caring.

My nan has been in Pear Tree Court since January and is settling in nicely. She has already been moved rooms to one with a garden view which hopefully she will get to see soon but has been very poorly since Christmas when she was in hospital with flu and pneumonia. The care staff are very attentive
to detail and making sure she has everything she needs. The chef also is great and knows her favourite foods. The facilities are good and there is a cafe where you can make yourself coffee and there are homemade goods for all to eat. Upstairs there is a cinema for the residents which has even been made to look as such with proper seats. All the staff and reception are very welcoming and friendly. You can visit as much as you like. I am especially impressed with the timetable that goes out every week with different events and sometimes birthdays that they can all participate in. Hopefully nan will get better soon and enjoy some of these.

Pear Tree Court is a wonderful place in all respects. The staff are amazing and work so hard to ensure all the residents' needs are met. Mum has been there for 18 months and is very happy, she has made friends and has the choice of many activities if she wishes to join in. There is a hair salon too
and also regular pampering sessions where Mum has her nails painted which she loves. Pear Tree Court has a very homely feel and is beautifully furnished and comfortable. The food is very good and the chef always ensures residents favourites are on the menu. There are no restrictions for visiting and there is a lovely coffee shop and garden area. I attend the regular relative meetings, which are held by the management and are very helpful in hearing about future plans and events and a chance to ask questions. Although the management have an open-door policy so it's always easy to speak to them should you need to.

Pear Tree Court is a lovely place. Not at all the typical idea we have of care homes. It is bright, modern, clean and beautifully decorated. Very well laid out with lots of lovely rooms for activities or quiet moments should you need them. There is a coffee shop with drinks and cakes for residents and
visitors and a large garden. The dining room is lovely with amazing food on offer with a change of menu every day. There is a lovely friendly atmosphere and everyone greets us cheerily. Our Mum has her door open so staff and other residents often pop in for a chat or wave as they go by. It has been a big adjustment for our Mum and not without difficulties but after a few months she is feeling much more settled. It has been a huge relief for our family to know that she has 24 hour care and is safe. One issue is that staffing levels are not always as good as they should be. Our Mum has sometimes still been in bed until late morning when visitors arrive. Care on the whole is great.

Pear Tree Court has a warm and friendly atmosphere, the staff are very welcoming to us and very caring towards our loved ones.
The accommodation is first class and refreshments are always available for both residents and visitors.
The decor is pleasing to the eye, homely, and well thought out.
The
building is secure and safe for the residents although staffing levels as always in nursing homes could be improved; the staff however who are here, work hard and cover their respective areas of responsibility very well. Nursing care is good.
The doctor visits every week.
Amenities for the residents are good, with plenty of activities to keep those able happy, including arts and crafts, singers, music, and trips out. (And much more).

Our mum has been a resident of Pear Tree Court for four months now. In that time we have been quite blown away by the warmth, energy, and fun that has been shown to Mum. From the lovely atmosphere in the coffee shop to the amazing in-house activities to the outings - including a boat trip on Southampton
harbour - to the exceptional level of one-to-one connections with the care team and mum's meds, it's been a reassuring and comforting journey for us. Mum often says to us that she's in the right place. She has more fun and laughter and nonsense than she ever had living on her own. It's an amazing residence!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother came to Pear Tree Court after suffering multiple hip dislocations, and a right hip 'revision' (replacement).
Mum didn't really want to go into a Care Home but I convinced her, particularly as I no longer drive and she would be close to me.
Personally, I think the care she has received has
been outstanding. The staff are very supportive and caring and Mum's experience has given me some peace of mind.
The only downside is that Mum has stayed in her room and has not wanted to go to the dining room, one of the many lounges, cinema room, bar or garden so I cannot comment on these facilities. Hopefully, Mum can start to go out and get the full experience.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.724)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.724) out of 10 for Pear Tree Court 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.724 for Pear Tree Court is calculated as follows: ( (334 Excellents x 5) + (81 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 434 Ratings = 4.724
  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 Pear Tree Court is based on 37 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 37 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.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2023

I’m a qualified Registered General Nurse with 15 years of experience in both NHS hospitals and private care nursing homes. I was keen to join Pear Tree Court because of Care UK’s very good reputation and the development opportunities that are available. I was looking for a service to manage on a long-term basis.


Previously, I was an Interim General Manager and Clinical Quality Assurance Manager for a provider that supports residents with complex care needs. I also have experience working as a turnaround manager, where I supported a nursing home to move from ‘Inadequate’ to ‘Good’ in six months by building an entirely new team. I have a passion for nurturing colleagues, and it makes me proud to see my team shine.


As a Home Manager, I believe it’s important to have a fair but firm approach, a willingness to listen and a supportive and reassuring management style. You need to have an open door for colleagues and compassion for residents. Supporting my team to ensure excellent care is provided to keep residents and their loved ones safe and happy is the most important part of my role.


My favourite part of being a Home Manager is caring for residents on a long-term basis. This means I have the opportunity to really get to know them and their families and understand how to support them to live fulfilling lives.


When I’m not working, I enjoy taking trips with my family, showing my two daughters different cultures and areas of the world.
