What a wonderful place! Its very telling that most of the staff have been there for years, it is such a good environment. My mother was exceptionally well cared for and all the staff are really passionate about their work. The premises are modern and well maintained and the food is excellent. I told
them they have a new customer, I'd like to go there when I am in need (hopefully a few years yet).

My husband originally went for respite, but, is now a resident. The home is light and bright and welcoming, more like a hotel than a care home. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is a good selection on the menu every day. Activities all week. I can now rest knowing my husband is well cared for
and in safe hands.
Reply from Gigi Despojo, General Manager at Barchester Cherry Blossom ManorIt's a great pleasure to hear good and positive feedback of our service, facility and care from our resident's' family. We are happy to know that we have gained your trust and confidence to us in the care of your husband. Thank you and I will share this with the team.

What's not to like?
I was looking for the ideal respite care for my mother for a short period whilst I got home care into place. I wanted her to have the best possible experience of a care home so she would always think fondly of her time in a home. From the moment I first visited Barchester Cherry
Blossom Manor and was shown around, I knew my mother would feel like she was on holiday. The ensuite rooms are immaculate, the eating areas are set out like restaurants, the lounges are luxurious but by far, the largest attribute is the staff. The manager and her deputy visited my mother at home for assessment and were delightful. At the home, the staff go above and beyond each and every day and treated my mother as if she were part of their own family. Absolutely nothing is too much trouble which is important when you are leaving a loved one in their care, I got nothing other than a real "feel good" factor all the time my mother was at Cherry Blossom. Importantly, my mother was very happy at Cherry Blossom!
Reply from Gigi Despojo, GM at Barchester Cherry Blossom ManorHi Chris, caring for and knowing your mum whilst she was here with us has been a privilege. Thank you for taking the time to review us. It brings encouragement to all of us here to continue to give our best to each of our residents and their families. Thank you again. I will share this feedback with my team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been at Cherry Blossom since October 2023. Her experience from the get-go has been second to none. Within the first week, we could see a difference in her. They ensured that her needs were met and went above and beyond to ensure that she was well looked after and that the little things that
meant so much to her were done. She has always taken pride in her appearance and it was such a relief to see that the carer's had picked up on this. Within weeks her overall health but particularly her mental health, had improved considerably. It took her a little while to settle but each day the carers were patient with her and went very much at her pace. Now, she is a different woman, she takes part in the activities and has made some wonderful friends. All the carers are respectful, kind and helpful and we all feel that she is in very safe hands. Additionally, as a visitor we are always made to feel very welcome- whether you are 1 or 101 Cherry Blossom Care Home is a wonderful place to be.
Reply from Gigi Despojo, GM at Barchester Cherry Blossom ManorWe are incredibly grateful for your kind words and a 5-star rating in all areas of our service. This inspires the whole team to continue and do more to ensure residents have a meaningful home life. We are happy that we can also reassure the family of their loved ones in the home. I will ensure your review will be shared with the rest of my team.

Outside areas are well maintained and presented.
Activities to include all residents preferably not just the same few.
No experience of management since relative entering

I submitted a review last year and I am pleased to say Dad continues to do very well thanks to the Cherry Blossom Care Team. I am regularly kept up to date about Dad's general well-being, our opinion is valued, and concerns are listened to and allayed particularly with regard to changes in treatment
and medication, with updates sent immediately should there be a more pressing issue. The team is great, always thinking about what is best for Dad and how to make his day more comfortable and enjoyable his safety and well are their first consideration, and all of this is of great importance as we live abroad and are not able to return to the UK as frequently as we would like. I have absolutely no concerns that Dad is happy and comfortable and receiving the best possible care, we are very grateful to all of the team for their time and dedication, Dad and I appreciate this immensely as I am sure to do all the residents and family members who have loved one at Cherry Blossom Manor.

My dad was at Cherry Blossom for a two-week respite and he loves it there. The staff was very friendly and loving, my dad didn’t even miss me for one day. He didn’t want to come back home. He said he will miss his friends ( the staff). Management were very helpful and responsive. I really want to thanks
to everyone who looked after my dad and gave him so much love and care.
Thanks.

I have found all the staff at Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor an absolute delight. Always willing to help, listen and do their best to meet residents' and families' concerns, needs, wants and desires. Nothing is too much trouble and there is always time for a friendly chat. On Mum's 94th birthday last
week, everybody helped her celebrate and did everything possible to make her day extra special. The family joined Mum for lunch in the private dining room, where we enjoyed table service amongst birthday balloons, at the end of the meal the staff brought in a lovely birthday cake and all sang Happy Birthday. There is a real homely atmosphere here, only possible because everyone, no matter what their role, cares.

Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor Care Home provided respite care for my mum, after a stay in hospital, and we couldn’t have asked for more. From the very first contact, the team were understanding, patient, efficient and kind in a very difficult and emotional situation. They listened to what we needed
and provided a lovely room, excellent care and communicated well with us regarding her rehabilitation.
The staff were fantastic with Mum and took time to chat with her and they all were familiar with her situation and treated her with dignity. She settled in quickly and felt safe and looked after. The management team were very efficient and professional and helped me arrange additional transport services when a hospital visit was required.
There was a varied menu, laundry services and plenty of daily activities.
A friendly, well-run care home that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone, as well as knowing when we reach the time when full-time care is required that our mum will be in safe hands.

My mother arrived at Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor having been told by hospital that she would never get out of bed, would be doubly incontinent and not survive the year! She is now walking (with a frame) to the bathroom or lounge. She is more content than she has been for years. She does have some
problems but she's not aware and there is no need for her to know. The staff have been very good in giving her lots of encouragement.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.887)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.887) out of 10 for Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 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 4.887 for Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor is calculated as follows: ( (400 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 443 Ratings = 4.887
  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 Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 77 registered maximum number of service users is 15.4, 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: Administrator Joined: 2011

Previous to Cherry I worked in a bank for many years & have also worked as a Carer part-time, so this role is perfect as it combines both of these. This really home from home with our endless extended family of Residents, their families/friends & our staff.

I have been coming to work with my Mum(Ali Mather, Home Administrator)since I was only 12 weeks old. Due to this, I love people, fuss & yummy snacks. I used to help deliver the newspapers to the Residents but now my legs aren't as good as they were I potter around to visit them in my own sweet time.

I started here as a Carer, then Activity Assistant & then Hostessing. I have now come back to the Activities Team as the Coordinator where I am excited for this opportunity & what I can bring to our lovely Residents. The knowledge of the other departments/roles & the home will definitely be helpful to me.

I started at Cherry Blossom as a Carer & was then promoted to Senior Carer & then to my current position. Having good knowledge of the Care role helps me in my current position as we all work together.

It gives me satisfaction to maintain a high standard of cleanliness giving a safe environment for all.
