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...
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.

Dad has now been at Pear Tree Court for 5 months, and in those 5 months, Dad has undergone several medical changes. On every occasion, I have been informed of his progress and condition. The staff I have encountered have, and are, very supportive of my dad and the concerns of the family. No request seems to be too much trouble, they are attentive, professional and very easy to talk to. All though Dad has dementia he is still able to interact with the staff which is a pleasure to watch. I would definitely recommend Pear Tree Court to anybody who asked for my advice.

Very pleased with all the communication from the care home. Our uncle is very happy there. He enjoys the food. He attends most activities and really enjoys them. He likes spending time in the garden on sunny days.

We could not be happier that our father who has Alzheimer's is being cared for at Pear Tree Court nursing home. The staff throughout the home are excellent. They are all very attentive and caring and could not be any better, with excellent communication. They take the time to speak to the residents by name and nothing is too much trouble. The food is excellent quality with a good choice of menu daily. The general ambience of Pear Tree Court is like being in a 5-star hotel. We cannot rate this place highly enough. Absolutely fabulous service in every way. The attention and care he receives go far and beyond what we expected.

If the situation arose where we needed to put Mum into a care home again I would not hesitate in coming back to Pear Tree Court.
The staff are all very efficient and friendly. My husband is comfortable and well looked after. The staff are also prompt at informing me of any problems or incidents. I am very happy with my husband’s placement at Pear Tree Court.

My wife has settled in quite well and is happy at Pear Tree. Her room is like a boutique hotel, and the facilities and entertainment are really very good. Has lots of special touches, such as a craft room and pub. Would definitely recommend it.

It is a very nice care home and my dad has settled in well. The staff are friendly and helpful. It is a relief to know he is in a safe environment and being looked after as he has vascular dementia and was living on his own and not coping very well.

My brother was admitted to Pear Tree Court at the end of October 2022 and has now been there for almost a month after bed-blocking for 6 weeks in a Devon hospital. The management was very helpful in showing us around and giving us their time before my brother arrived. He had not had a very good experience in the hospital being moved from ward to ward - he has learning difficulties and Parkinson's - and was disorientated and unsettled. The staff made him very welcome and after a month in Pear Tree, he has perked up a lot. He has a lovely room and sees so many folks during the day. He is also taken to many activities where he can either observe or take part if he is able. We are extremely happy that he is in such a caring place and hope he will be able to stay there.

My mother moved here at our choice after a distressing period of illness in hospital last Christmas and not in a condition to remain in her home as she needed 24-hour attention. She initially moved into the nursing floor where the staff were wonderful and at 93 years old she made a great recovery thanks a lot to them. As she improved she was then able to move into the residential floor and has had no reoccurrence of her previous illnesses which plagued her at home and is a tribute to the staff at Pear Tree. Mum has since moved to be in care near her old location where lived most of her life which is no reflection on Pear Tree and again a tribute to what they have done for her. Moving was an emotional experience because of the close relationships she forged with the staff there. I would like to document my family's thanks for the care Pear Tree provided her.

We had the task of finding a suitable home For our 95 year old aunt, who decided that after many years of fending for herself the time had come to move into residential care. My wife and I were recommended Pear Tree Court and following our visit it was obvious that this would be the perfect solution. Early days but so far very impressed with all aspects of the service provided. Brilliant staff.
My mum was chosen as 'resident of the day' which meant a carer asked me for any concerns/issues with my mum's care. I asked what had been done regarding her jewellery that went missing in the home, plus some other queries. I have had no response, a waste of time. I also reported to the care home...
My mum was chosen as 'resident of the day' which meant a carer asked me for any concerns/issues with my mum's care. I asked what had been done regarding her jewellery that went missing in the home, plus some other queries. I have had no response, a waste of time. I also reported to the care home manager by email, that I had seen another visitor exit the home with a flat-screen TV under her arm that she did not have when she arrived. I have had no response. My view of the management is one of weakness, and not bothering to follow through and deal with things.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re grateful for your positive scores around the facilities, care and staff here at Pear Tree Court. We are very sorry to hear that you’ve not had a positive experience and that you feel your concerns were not addressed. We would like to reassure you that the TV incident that you refer to was not a theft. It was simply a relative removing their own TV from their loved one’s room as it was no longer required. Your feedback is important to us and we’d be happy to discuss this further with you in person.

Sadly, after several years it’s no longer been possible to care for my partner at home, as her dementia gradually changes life for both of us. As a former nurse I have been particularly careful and thoughtful in finding the best new home I could to entrust with her care. In Pear Tree Court I have found such a place and such a team. My partner has a wonderful room, plenty of space, all mod cons. The team on Napier and across the home have been amazing and truly focused on her needs, nothing is ever too much trouble. It matters that they have also made me feel so welcome, I visit at all hours and the approach is consistent.
The building is relatively new and has all the advantages of deliberate design, reflecting the best practice in creating a new ‘home’ for residents. The place is also spotless, huge thank you to all the staff, we are all on this journey together

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.
