My mother has been living at Cherry Garth since September. I cannot thank the management team and staff enough for the care given to Mum. All of the staff are professional, interested in each resident and very caring. My mother's health and wellbeing have improved so much since she moved into Cherry
Garth. All of the staff are so friendly and you can see the residents respond to them. Well done Cherry Garth.

In the last month of my mother's journey with dementia, she was well cared for. The staff who looked after her showed compassion and spent time with her. They treated her with dignity and did all they could to ensure she was eating/drinking. The staff on duty all knew her - some from when her journey
started. When she slipped away peacefully, I could not fault their response and care shown to her and my family.

A fantastic care home run by managers and staff that care.
I have found that my father, who has dementia, is treated with respect and in a caring and friendly manner.
The home is well kept, clean and tidy and the gardens are wonderful, which is great as my father loves walking in the gardens.

Pleasant surroundings. Clean. My mother's room is large, light and airy. Staff cannot do enough for my mother and others. Bright and friendly staff even the cleaning staff.
My mother has settled in well, she can be difficult at times but my mother needs to be encouraged and coaxed which is working.
She seems happy. Excellent and inspiring. Love it.

I think it's a brilliant home. A lot of carers care and do their best. They are friendly, caring and very helpful with clients.
I think this is one of the best homes for teamwork and support.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Friendly atmosphere and very flexible visiting policy. Some great outings arranged, with a recent riverboat cruise and a visit to the zoo. Lots of activities seem to be happening, which is good. Most important thing is that mum gets the care and support she needs and I think this is happening, although
my only question is the staff turnover - which seems to be high as always new faces - full respect to the staff as its a really tough job - especially within the dementia area on the first floor. As long as mum is happy though (and she says/implies that she is) then I am happy.

My father has been in this home (residential care) for a couple of weeks. He is already settled in and is happy. He says the staff are excellent, very kind and supportive.


Very pleasant surroundings. His room is a good size with en-suite loo and wet room.


I have found the management team very

efficient, approachable and helpful. I am happy my father is being so well cared for.

Review from A D (Husband of Resident) published on 10 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Good points: Many of the carers are excellent, most are at least good. Middle management are generally helpful and responsive to concerns. Healthcare is very good. Cleaners are diligent and rooms are cleaned every day. Kitchen staff are responsive and helpful; particular dietary requirements are well
catered for. The laundry service is generally acceptable although clothes do go missing at times. Overall I am more than satisfied with the care provided to my wife.
Less good: Heating, ventilation and air conditioning are very poorly designed. Air con does not reach public rooms, only bedrooms; rooms are often overheated. Room temperatures are not routinely checked, even in the hottest weather. I have drawn the attention of management to this on more than one occasion but very little has been done. Senior management is too desk-bound and not in evidence around the home.
This is not the fault of the management of the home as the fees are negotiated at a higher level within the group but the local authority who fund 40% of the rooms pay less than cost price. Consequently, privately funded residents are charged a great deal more so that the home is fully funded.
Reply from Sarah Bygrave, Communications Executive at Cherry Garth

We are very pleased to receive this good feedback regarding the care at Cherry Garth. We have relayed it to our care team and they are delighted to hear such positive acknowledgment. With regard to the heating and ventilation, we have addressed the comments raised – temperatures are recorded regularly, especially during extremes in weather.
Air conditioning exists in all the corridors and one of the TV lounges and new fans are currently being installed.
Senior management ‘walk the floors’ as much as possible and the home manager and her seniors ensure this happens several times a day alongside the administrative tasks that they need to complete. The issue of private fees is a national problem facing the sector today. It is widely acknowledged by independent care sector professionals, that Local Authority or other state funding is insufficient and this issue is currently being addressed by Government. The outcome is eagerly awaited by us all.

My father was admitted to Cherry Garth in late November 2017. He has settled in well and is always treated with kindness and respect by all the carers and management team.


I usually visit him two to three times a week and always find him well kept, clean and comfortable.


The staff and management

always greet you with a warm welcome and are always helpful. As care homes go, my father could not be in a better place.


It's nice to know he is in a homely environment, safe and well cared for, when I am not able to be with him.

Mum was admitted to Cherry Garth on 8th November 2017. She specifically requested a ground floor room, which Cherry Grove were able to provide.
I visit Mum twice a week and am always impressed by the appearance and cleanliness of the home.
The efficiency and kindness of the staff and the care they
provide to Mum is unfailing.
They are endlessly patient when feeding Mum and at night time, they turn her every two hours, to prevent sores.
Mum has a degree of memory loss and the staff handle this with great sensitivity.
I'm always made to feel welcome, whenever I visit.

My husband was admitted into care at Cherry Garth two years ago. He has recently died, during his time there he was given excellent care and treated with respect by all the carers. He was able to listen to music of his choice in the communal sitting room. Until very recently when his dementia became
worse he took part in various activities and I was able to visit him often whenever I chose.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.653)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.653) out of 10 for Cherry Garth 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.653 for Cherry Garth is calculated as follows: ( (98 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 144 Ratings = 4.653
  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 Cherry Garth is based on 12 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 12 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.
