My mum had the privilege of being at Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor for about five months. Her care was excellent and the staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful and caring. It is a beautiful place, more like a five-star hotel.
Thank you to all the staff for making Mum's time with you a very
happy one! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cherry Blossom Manor to anyone.
Thank you again for all your kindness.

Thank you to all the wonderful staff who have cared for my mother. The last year has been hard for everyone and I am grateful to visit my mum today. The staff are wonderful to my mum and it helps ease the pain of not having been out to see our loved one during the pandemic. am grateful and indebted

Hi Karen
We know how doubly difficult the pandemic and not being able to see your mum physically in the home. We are so grateful now that we can have a bedroom visit and not just visit through a visiting pod to both residents and relatives.
As we do this cautiously, I want to say thank you for taking the time to review us and for the encouragement that meant so much to us.
I will pass this on to the team.

From the moment of having POA of my nan, I have complete trust in Cherry Blossom and all the staff. The communication is fantastic. My nan loves her environment and has always spoken highly of her home and second family. Although my nan's needs have changed, I know she is still well looked after, communication
via phone, email, Zoom and post continues to reassure me and photos show me that, even in these difficult Covid times, nothing changes.

Hi Charlotte, Thank you very much for taking the time to review us here. I will make sure that this is passed on to the team to inspire and encourage them. We acknowledge your kind words with pride and joy. Thank you for allowing us to be an extension of your Nan's family.

My husband has regular respite care at Cherry Blossom Manor. He is always greeted in a friendly manner and treated with respect although he is only there for short periods the staff make every effort to include him in activities and are sensitive to his needs and make every effort with care and communication

Review from E U (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 1 September 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Generally, care is good, residents are clean and well-fed. Little things are missed ensuring hair is well brushed as residents like it is hit and miss. Clothes tend to look 'thrown on' in those who are very dependent. My own relative has complained regularly over 4 years that night staff are rough in
their handling (no hint of maliciousness) oral care is poor.
The staff deserve a monetary bonus for containing the one case of Covid-19 and preventing any external infection entering 1st class.

During the lockdown, it was easy to book a pm telephone call to my friend, which reassured us both. later, in good weather, this home had a beautiful garden for us to book a distance meeting. I now look forward to the activities coordinator to write 'dictated shopping' from my friend, in the stamped,
addressed envelope I left today.

The care given to my parents during such a difficult time with the COVID-19 pandemic has been outstanding. The staff on Silchester have been wonderfully dedicated, kind, and patient throughout the lockdown, even while working in such uncomfortable conditions. We have been hugely impressed and very reassured
each time we see our parents by video link. Thank you.

From the minute I walked into Cherry Blossom I knew if my mum had to go into a care home it would be this one, you feel the warmth of the staff, they are amazing, nothing ever is too much trouble. They treated my mum with love, care and dignity, they gave me my mum back, I can never thank them enough.
They told me they treat the residents like family and they really do. Cherry Blossom should be a 'model' for the perfect home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.864)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.864) 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.864 for Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor is calculated as follows: ( (350 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 396 Ratings = 4.864
  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 33 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 77 registered maximum number of service users is 15.4, which has been reached with 33 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.
