Review from Sue J (Friend of Resident) published on 10 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Due to the care of all at Pear Tree Court my dear friend's quality of life has been transformed. After two years of basically sleeping in bed all day, she is now enjoying a life of what I can only describe as totally fulfilling. From the food to the caring staff, the planned activities, visits from
the home hairdresser and so much more. As visitors, we are made so welcome because it is valued that this is afterall the residents' home. Everything is so well thought out. It really is amazing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The moment we walked into Pear Tree Court, we were blown away by the finish of the home. My mother has dementia and the Napier Suite is by far the most dementia focused facility in the area. Having decided that this was the right place for mum, the process of securing a room and arranging the move in
was handled with efficiency and sensitivity. We were apprehensive on move-in day but were overwhelmed by the support and care offered by all the staff. Mum has settled in better than we could have imagined, she has come out of her shell, made friends with staff and residents and gets involved in (most!) of the activities. We love going to see mum and rest well knowing she is safe, secure and well cared for. We also love the staff! Nothing is ever too much trouble, they're always smiling and provide cheeky, light-hearted relief when it's needed! Thank you.

Overwhelmed with the support with trying to find my mother a home. I would ritually say that the management team and staff have put our concerns to rest, a wonderful care home.
Go see for yourselves if you're considering this for your loved one.
A massive undertaking for the person you love deeply
and want the best for them, as you would want for yourselves.
Beautiful inside and the gardens. Great facilities, a pub! and activity roo, a cinema room - amazing.
Nothing is too much trouble.

Pear Tree Court is a new state of the art care home. Everything is finished to a very high standard and is designed to provide a luxurious and stimulating home for the residents.
To add to this all of the staff are so friendly, caring and appear to genuinely enjoy their jobs. These qualities are continually
shown not only to the residents but also their family and friends. Thus ensuring all parties are happy and relaxed during what can be a very stressful time when a loved one first goes into care.

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.
