Review from Neil S (Son of Resident) published on 22 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad used to live alone in his house for over 30 years until he was unable to look after himself properly after a fall. Losing one's independence can be difficult to adjust to and moving to a new environment only compounds the fear of change. Although Dad has only been at Pear Tree Court for a few
months he has settled in very easily under the circumstances. The highlight has been the home's agreement for Dad to have his mobility scooter stationed outside of his room and allow him free access to use it to travel around the village at his leisure. This single act has granted him some of the independence he missed, as he has already travelled to the local pub for Sunday lunch.

Very impressed with the staff and the care team. The communication is excellent both by phone and email.
I could trust them with the medication my mother needed.
A homely atmosphere and able to visit 24/7. I would recommend Pear Tree Court.

My aunt fought against going into a care home for a long time but really was not safe at home. Following a recommendation she agreed to try Pear Tree for two weeks and decided after a week to stay! She is a very different woman now - it's as if a weight has been lifted off her. The staff are all lovely
and there are so many activities including outings. She loves the bingo! The coffee lounge is very handy. I would thoroughly recommend Pear Tree Court.

Review from Sally B (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I looked at many homes before deciding on this one for my Mum. She needed support after two months in hospital. The first month has been one of adjustment for Mum from her own house to a home, so there have been some ups and downs. Overall it is fabulous, and compared to other homes I visited it is
bright, modern, clean, nicely maintained and the staff are very friendly.
Mum loves the food, and the chef has gone the extra mile to get her things she enjoys. The activities coordinator has also worked hard to get Mum engaged and enjoying activities.
I love that it is dog-friendly so Mum’s dog can visit, and the coffee shop for residents and visitors is great, as is the hair salon.
The only issues at the moment are the irregularities in getting Mum up and dressed in the mornings, which is not always done at a time she would choose and she gets anxious if there are visitors coming or activities on.
Overall we are very pleased so far.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave your review. We set very high standards at Peart Tree Court and pride ourselves on delivering quality, person-centred care. We are really pleased Mum is settling in so well and enjoying all that life at Pear Tree Court has to offer, including the wonderful food and activities. While Mum has been settling in, we've revised her daily schedule to ensure that she is up and ready each morning at her preferred time. Thanks again for leaving your review, we appreciate your feedback.

I cannot fault anything at Pear Tree Court. All of the staff are warm and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble for them and every member of staff has taken the time to know the residents as individuals. Pear Tree Court is always clean and well-maintained, both inside and outside. There are so many
activities for residents to join in with and it feels like family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care, love understanding, and attention my Mother gets is exemplary from every member of staff. Safety is a high priority.
As a family member, it is a very traumatic and worrying time to admit your loved one in care. A certain member of staff made the process smoother, answered all my questions,
walked me through the process, and made my personality-less anxious.
Pear Tree Court has a needs improvement CQC rating in 2021 he was upfront about this, which impressed me and I appreciated his honesty. I did research this before and concluded it was several years ago, but I thought I would visit, and glad I did.
I don't believe they would get this rating now as I have found nothing but good practice and care.
Pear Tree Court facilities are modern with a homely feel, including the rooms. Nice gardens and there is a cinema room, hairdressers, café, bar with pool table available. Nice clean dining room and lounges. The food is good and varied. They do a good variety of activities and 1-1s.
Highly recommend!

The first time I walked into Pear Tree I felt that this was the place that I wanted my Dad to be. It had a nice aura about it and I knew for the first time in a long time that he would be safe. The staff has been brilliant and it was great for them to tell me stories about my Dad hunting constantly
for food (even though he had just eaten) and some of the other things he gets up to which tells me they adopt a very 'hands-on' approach and go out of their way to help and make him feel comfortable. Also, credit for finally managing to get him out on trips, etc... he was adamant he wanted to go nowhere but now I see him visiting all sorts of places. When I hear staff saying that they love their jobs and their residents you know you have made the right decision.

My dad was a resident up until his death. He was made to feel welcomed and well cared for. He was a member of the Pear Tree family. Enjoying the amenities and trips out. He always complimented how wonderful the food was. Dad was known as the ice cream man as every day at 3 pm he had his ice cream -
all this facilitated with care. Thank you for making Dad’s final months comfortable and welcoming. I live in Ireland and I felt comforted that Dad was well cared for.

As my daughter remarked to me; you would have to go a long way to find anywhere else where all the workers look and act as if they really are happy and enjoying their work. All staff go out of their way to make sure that the residents are superbly looked after and are content. My special diet was always
ready without any fuss or problems. A big thank you to all staff.

I have found the staff at Pear Tree Court to be professional, understanding and empathetic. It's not easy putting a member of your family in a care home, and I have received good support from those involved.
From what I can tell, so far, the food looks good, the nursing attentive, and the management
team are keen to give the best service possible.
There is a great deal of thought given to the environment and the entertainment for residents.

Full staff members do a good job of managing complex needs of residents requiring nursing care, but when agency staff are in, this is less likely to be a good experience. Multiple issues with agency staff regarding general care and respect toward residents. Hygiene issues and procedural issues like
filling in paperwork or observations of residents.

I was reluctant to put my Dad into a care home but our social worker made the recommendation that He should.
I found Pear Tree Court while visiting a nearby home, I fell in love with the place immediately.
I was fully supported by the staff at Peartree during the admission process and I’m delighted
that I chose this wonderful home for my dad’s care.

This is my first visit to a care home so it is for me to give an accurate. However, I found my short stay very comforting and caring. The food is excellent. I would still rather try and manage at home with my wife, who knows what the future holds for us? I would definitely recommend Pear Tree Cort.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The facilities in the home are excellent, not only the rooms but also the communal areas and gardens, which are much appreciated by visitors. The staff are always helpful and courteous. However, the meals are variable, with the meat often hard to chew, and it would be nice if dishes such as cottage
pie or sausages were more often on the menu, with gravy. A constant complaint is the discomfort of the bed and the pillows, especially as she spends a larger proportion of the time in bed than she would wish. This also restricts convenient visiting times. We appreciate that the staff have much to do to care for the residents, and my mother often says how hard they work.

My mum was transferred here after a long stay in an Assessment Unit. We have been advised she has end-stage Dementia. We chose Pear Tree Court not only as the home is close to us, but because when we viewed it, it had a homely feel to it. It was not an easy choice to place mum in a care home, but right
from the Manager to the Housekeeping team, they are professional, caring and friendly. The surroundings are well-maintained, the rooms are beautifully furnished and the food is both tasty and well-presented. (All needs are met)
It’s such a shame mum is no longer able to access all the well-thought-out activities available as I am sure she would have loved them.

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.
