My mother has been at Cherry Garth for nearly two years now. The quality of care is very good, and my mum is very happy and safe. The staff, in particular, are very caring. Yesterday she attended a picnic in the local sensory garden in Holmer Green along with a number of the residents; she really enjoyed the activity.
Thank you for your review. We're so glad your mum is happy at Cherry Garth.
I visited my friend Michael after 2 years, I can't tell you the difference he has now, he is so much better, and he said he is well looked after. I met the manager who has been there for two years now and he knows Michael very well which is a nice experience as most times they don't know the residents.
Thank you so much for your 5 star review, J T. We're so glad you see such a positive difference in your friend at Cherry Garth.
The home could be so much better which is a shame. Cleanliness should be a priority for all and sometimes the smell is far from pleasant. The lift is a joke. So many issues and slow to repair. My grandfather missed Christmas and Easter celebrations due to being stuck. Unforgivable. I don't feel that excellence comes from the top (be that within the home or at a higher level). Needs significant improvement. Some staff members are wonderful.
We understand the concerns raised regarding the lift. Unfortunately, the repair required specialist parts, and we worked closely with...
Although only recent resident, we are very impressed with the standard of the home and genuine care and attention given, more like a smart hotel than I imagined a care home. We've seen an improvement in her wellbeing since residency. Highly recommend to date.
Thank you for your review, R G. We are so glad how impressed you are with Cherry Garth and that you would recommend us!
I have been with my wife for 66 years. I said I would never put her in a home. But after looking after her for the past two years, I realised I could not manage any longer. I have been lucky to have Cherry Garth not far from where I live. I have found the staff to be very kind and helpful, also very friendly. Thanks once again for helping my wife settle in.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so glad that your wife has settled in to Cherry Garth.
The whole staff including the nursing and administration have cared for my mother so my brother and I can go on holiday and not have any worries whilst we are away. The food selection is wonderful and cinstant are is superb.
Thank you for such a positive review. So glad Cherry Garth can eliminate you and your brothers worries.
Building wise, Cherry Garth is a modern well laid out, maintained, social building but above all what really matters is the care offered.
The carers are excellent, attentive, empathetic, understanding and compassionate.
Each resident is assigned to a main carer but all carers assist all residents on the wing.
The carers are a credit to the Freemantle Trust.
Over the years my mum was at Cherry Garth, I knew she was in the best place to meet her changing needs.
Mum past on in November, the team were there not only supporting mum, but also myself through this difficult time.
Thank you very much for your 5 star review. Our condolences are with you and your family. We are so glad that you found Cherry Garth the best place for your mother to be.
The caring staff at Cherry Garth have helped my mum settle in really well. Nothing has been too much trouble. They have also cared for us as a family as we have adjusted to mum's new situation. My dad has also been cared for when he is able to visit and we all enjoy our visits with mum and the other residents she has got to know.
Thank you for leaving us a review. We are glad that your mum is settled at Cherry Garth and that you as a family are happy as well.
Staff provide an excellent level of care, being attentive, patient and kind. A good range of activities. Organised timing and frequency of changing the bedding, laundry and medication could be helpful to create less anxiety for the resident. Very good at trying to cater to everybody's individual needs.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are so glad that you appreciate our attention to detail and residents individual needs.
Chery Garth is a wonderful care home. The staff are first class. The carers make every thing delightful, their care and compassion shines through in all they do. The management team ensure all works well throughout the premises, gardens and at the administration level. I am very pleased with them all.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so glad that you find Cherry Garth a wonderful care home.
Constantly taking the time to offer, considerate, caring and dignified care. Despite several changes of management in recent months, the overall experience is a positive one. The open door policy is perfect, allowing you to visit at anytime. I have always found Cherry Garth to be a clam, welcoming environment. Many members of staff go above and beyond - thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so glad that you find Cherry Garth calm and welcoming.
My mother-in-law (91) says she is happy at Cherry Garth. She has lived there for about two months now, after multiple falls, also having stated very clearly she would NEVER move from her own house! The staff are patient, caring, and professional. She feels safe. The food is traditional type food enjoyed by the elderly. It is plentiful and there is choice. Oh and unlimited and frequent tea and biscuits! There are daily activities such as gentle exercise, bingo, singing, dominoes, and visits from local nursery. In terms of decor, I would describe the home as 'no frills', but the rooms are a decent size with huge en-suite bathrooms. The gardens are beautiful, and accessible. The management are working to improve communication channels with families and build up the key worker set-up. I would recommend this home.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are very glad that your mother-in-law is happy and feels safe at Cherry Garth.
The administration needs a little work. We are very satisfied with the standard of care provided by the staff and are happy to overlook the occasional glitch in administration.
Thank you for your review, G A. We take all of your comments on board and are glad that you are very satisfied.
My 94-year-old mum has been at Cherry Garth for around 8 months now and seems very happy there. She has a lovely modern room with ensuite facilities which is regularly cleaned and kept tidy. Also on her wing is a spacious lounge with a television and comfortable wing-back chairs there is also a kitchen/dining room with tea-making facilities for when you visit. It has a lovely garden for her to sit out in and also has a hairdresser and coffee shop on site. There are daily events to suit most people such as quizzes, singing, etc The most important thing is the care which she receives which has been brilliant every member of staff I have met has always been lovely and kind to my mum. As you can imagine looking after older people does have its challenges but they always inform me of even the smallest of problems. Finally, I would like to thank the manager, and his assistant manager for all their patience and help you have both been amazing.
Thank you for your detailed review, we are glad that your Mum is very happy at Cherry Garth.
We all feel Mum is safe and well cared for. With plenty of activities to occupy her. Friendly caring staff and a lovely clean caring environment. Mum is so happy and settled. Thank you, love all her family.
Thank you for the 5-star review. We are so glad your Mum is so happy and settled at Cherry Garth.
Cherry Garth Care Home is a very friendly and homely place. Staff are all polite and helpful and do everything to make the residents and their relatives feel welcome.
Thank you for your review. We are so glad that you find Cherry Garth to be a friendly home.
We were invited to afternoon tea with our friend, a resident at Cherry Garth. It was a very enjoyable afternoon. The room was decorated for Christmas and the staff had gone to lots of trouble to provide a lovely tea. It's always welcoming and bright at Cherry Garth, with plenty of staff about and a happy atmosphere. Our friend, and neighbour, is very happy there and it's always a pleasure to visit.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We are so glad that you had such an enjoyable afternoon visiting Cherry Garth.
Sometimes special requests for care can be missed but I know the managers are working hard on this to improve things. Keep it up. I have seen some really good progress.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review James. We are so glad that you are happy with the facility and thank you again for all of the positive comments regarding the managers and all members of staff.
The management team have been very supportive to both of us. Lost clothes are a problem - not that it bothers my husband.
Your feedback and views are really important to us, so thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are glad to hear that you feel supported and will work hard with the team to ensure that your husband's clothing doesn't go missing.
I am extremely happy with the service provided to my wife. The staff are very helpful with any questions that I ask and my wife has become quite fond of them. I have no adverse comments except for lost clothes. I can not understand how clothes go missing when they are all clearly labeled. The new manager is extremely helpful and considerate.
Thank you for taking the time to write and submit a review, Robin. Feedback of any kind is so valuable to us so we will take on board all you have said. I am glad to hear that you are extremely happy with the care your wife is receiving.
