Extremely happy with things discussed in the review. The whole team has worked wonders on getting the new system up and running. It is very informative and interesting. I now know I can contact any member of staff who can keep me updated on any information on Mum. We're all treated like one big happy
family by all staff. You all deserve a pay rise well done and thank you all for the care you give to my mum.

My stay at Cherry Blossom Manor was for 2 months. The medical staff are excellent and qualified for the role, the support staff are very friendly and helpful and the menu is varied and tasty with meat or fish option most days. Cannot comment on activities as I was on bed rest but aware of activities
daily. All residents have a comprehensive record tracking health issues. All around a very enjoyable experience given the circumstances of my residency.

The staff and management displayed an excellent level of service and care at all times 24/7. They kept us informed at all times when there were changes in conditions and needs following his recent death and continued during this process to provide the family with care and compassion. The home dealt
with all the necessary paperwork that's required which helped us out immensely. We would recommend this care home to anyone.

Review from Kim T (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 January 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Initially, my father and mother were due to have two weeks of respite care but this turned out to be permanent residency for my father after my mother passed away. The love, care and support that we as a family received from the staff was superb, particularly when my father required end-of-life care
before his passing last week. This is our first experience of using a care home and I'm so happy we chose Cherry Blossom Manor. We'd highly recommend it to others.
Reply from Gigi Despojo, GM at Barchester Cherry Blossom ManorDear Kim,
Such a lovely thought for the team. Thank you for giving us all the opportunity and privileged to know and care for your mum and dad.
You look after yourself now and know that your parents knew how devoted of a daughter you are to both of them.
I will share this with the team.

Dad has been staying at Cherry Blossom since July as he has dementia which has rendered him in need of constant care. The home is very well run and every effort is made to ensure that dad is kept safe and well cared for. He has settled in well and the staff have all been extremely helpful, professional
and caring towards him and the family.

Sadly my mother passed away in September 2022 and I cannot thank the staff enough for the love and care they showed Mum from the moment she came to Cherry Blossom Manor until the time she left.
The memory lane team are incredible and work extremely hard to ensure each resident has the personal care

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum stayed for a two-week respite break after hardly being away from home in the last 50 years! Mum is 89 years old, has Parkinson's disease, severe mobility issues and is in constant pain. Staff went over and above, for example, changing mattresses, bedding and moving furniture to help Mum settle.
The room was comfortable and clean, next to a stunning garden. When we left Mum, we felt confident that she was being looked after in safe hands.
Reply from Gigi Despojo, GM at Barchester Cherry Blossom ManorHi Caroline, we are happy that we were able to meet the expectation of the family and especially that your mum had a lovely experience with Cherry Blossom. I will make sure that your feedback will be shared with the team.

I cannot recommend this care home more highly. They are so attentive to their residents and extremely communicative and supportive with relatives. To be honest, I very much doubt my dad would be with us today without the care afforded to him by the staff and management at Cherry Blossom Manor. I cannot
speak highly enough of them. If you are looking for the perfect care home for your loved one, contact Gigi straight away.
Reply from Gigi Despojo, GM at Barchester Cherry Blossom ManorDear Ian,

Mum was in for 2 weeks of respite care. This is her 3rd visit.
Being in Silchester has made a whole new experience, very superior to the last visits. The staff were far more engaged, the atmosphere much calmer and Mum seemed much more settled.
Big thank you.

My sister spent several years in Cherry Blossom Manor before she died. She was known as a bit of a character, and we know she would sometime be a bit of a difficult character. The staff were always really supportive of her, both medically and socially. We live abroad, and their staff were always helpful
in keeping us up to date on her well-being. We were very glad that she was cared for at Cherry Blossom Manor.

Throughout the last two years, my mother-in-law has been a resident at Cherry Blossom; she has been cared for and treated with the utmost respect and dignity by all the staff. My husband and myself are kept up to date with how she is doing and any interventions needed by any other health care professional.
Lead nurses and carers are always cheerful and willing to listen to any concerns or worries we have. A massive thank you to all involved in my mother-in-law's care. I would definitely recommend Cherry Blossom to anybody who was looking for a nursing home for their loved ones.
Reply from Gigi Despojo, GM at Barchester Cherry Blossom ManorThank you very much for taking the time to review us. I will relay this to the team, which I'm sure will be inspired more in doing the best they can to make the resident's life enriched.

Having been a resident for a few years, I can honestly say that I am happy and grateful to live in a home with wonderful staff, who remain cheerful and comforting in good and difficult times. I am blessed to have a wonderful room that has windows and a door leading out to our beautiful bird garden,
where I can relax and enjoy the sounds of nature at its best.
I am also blessed that my children are secure in the knowledge that I am well looked after.
Cherry Blossom Manor is a home that meets all my needs, socially, physically, emotionally and sensually.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been visiting Cherry Blossom Manor for over two years now to see my godmother. Initially, it was a difficult transition for her to move away from her home. However, after a couple of months, she settled in and became accustomed to and comfortable in her new home. The staff have been incredibly
helpful and have taken great care to look after her, from the friendly personal attention of those connecting with her on a daily basis to the special meals prepared for her as her needs changed. Sadly, she passed away this week. Right to the end, I witnessed the staff showing true compassion and empathy towards her, making sure she was comfortable and felt personally supported. I wish to thank everyone at Cherry Blossom Manor for making her feel valued and loved through her last two years.

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.
