Cherry Tree House is a nursing home offering general nursing, dementia nursing and complex dementia care in comfortable surroundings which are professional, bright and cheery and have a friendly atmosphere.

A £1m refurbishment, completed in August 2023, has ensured that all rooms and communal areas have been fully updated and redecorated. There is also a library, hair and beauty salon and a beautiful garden area.

All personal care is provided by expert and skilled staff. Each resident receives a personalised care package that is regularly updated to suit their needs.

Cherry Tree House adopts a whole home approach to carrying out meaningful activities with residents. This means that every member of the team is responsible for ensuring that interactions with residents are always relevant to their personal interests and preferences and the way they lived life before they moved to the home.

Cherry Tree has been amazing with my mum, she's settled so well and the staff are all so caring and compassionate and go out of their way to help with her needs, they are very approachable when I've any questions.
I feel so much relief knowing she's in a place she likes and knowing she's settled and
being cared for in an amazing way.

My mum moved into Cherry Tree in Feb 2024. She was made to feel very welcome. Her room was changed straight away after a problem with the carpet. My mum has settled well. The staff on Romiley have been very caring and shown dignity and respect to my mum at all times. Very happy with everything. The
admin team has been excellent with any queries I have had - The front-of-house staff is very friendly and welcoming.

My Stepmum is getting fantastic care in the Bramhall Suite.
I have found all the staff to be friendly and courteous.
I have a lot of time for the staff because they have their hands full dealing with 18 people all with complex needs. I have seen the staff treat all the clients with kindness and patience.
Bramhall Suite is always clean and tidy and the clients do seem happy.
Thank you everyone for all you do.

Cherry Tree has been fantastic in caring for both my mum and dad. The staff got to know them both and seemed to care about them and their needs. All staff are caring, patient, and friendly with residents and family. It's a huge weight off my mind to know they are so well looked after.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Too often in bed throughout the day. Mum enjoys listening and watching activities, residents could do with constant music or old films as they all sang along a couple of weeks ago. Not just our Mum. Making sure Mum gets to watch and listen to the live music that is on a different ward. She often seems
very flat, but music gives her happiness. It's still a learning curve we hope gets better.

Review from A H (Sister of Resident) published on 1 August 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
My sister has been at Cherry Tree for six years. Her well-being and care were second to none, but since Covid, things took a dramatic change - most of the problems were bank staff. When another manager came, things improved. We now have a new manager (permanent), and I have already seen some very good
changes, which I feel more comfortable about my sister being there and looked after.
Reply from Alison Porter, Head of admissions and customer relations at Cherry Tree House

Thank you very much for taking the time to review the care your sister received at Cherry Tree House. There has been a number of really positive changes recently at Cherry Tree House, and we are pleased to see some of those changes reflected in what you said in your review.
Our new home manager is a registered nurse and has a wealth of expertise. She is fully supported by some new additions to the group's senior management team, three of whom are former CQC inspectors/advisors and led by a former CQC inspector of eight years.
We have also just undergone a major refurbishment exercise which has seen a £1m investment go into the facilities at Cherry Tree House and are currently in the process of implementing a ‘whole home’ approach to conducting meaningful activities with our residents.

My mum was admitted to Cherry Tree House following a long hospital stay. Mum has sadly passed away but the care assistants and nurses were considerate and patient in the care they provided. At the end, the staff treated Mum with the utmost respect and dignity, they were compassionate, giving us an appropriate
balance between privacy and support. We cannot thank the staff enough for everything that they did.

My mum came to Cherry Tree House Care Home following a hospital stay, the care home is really lovely and clean with spacious bedrooms and en-suite bathrooms. The staff are amazing and are so kind, caring and patient in looking after Mum and all the residents, they go above and beyond to help them and

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our father lived at Cherry Tree House for three years. We have always found the staff helpful, kind and caring, across all roles - the reception staff, laundry lady, administrator, nurses, carers, managers and even the maintenance guy understood dementia. The nursing and care staff understood Dad and
made him feel safe. Dad loved the food, which was always nutritious and well-presented and the staff took the time to ensure that he ate it. The unit leadership is excellent and we found communication to be transparent and good. Staff are friendly, chatting with us to get to know Dad better and supporting Mum and the rest of the family, which made us trust that Dad was well cared for when we weren't able to be with him. At the end, the staff treated Dad with the utmost respect and dignity, compassionately giving the family an appropriate balance between privacy and support. We cannot thank the wonderful staff enough for everything that they have done.
Cherry Tree House has our highest recommendation.

Lovely room, took in pictures etc. to make it feel more homely. Staff, and I mean all, from the lovely cleaner, the ladies do an excellent job of keeping all his clothes and bedding pristine, all the carers, nurses and reception, just everyone. He says the food is very good and has plenty of cups o
tea, in his words he's well cared for, warm and safe which gives me peace of mind.

My father was only in Cherry Tree House Care Home for two months and has sadly passed away. The care my father received could not be faulted. He was always warm and comfortable, clean and shaved. The staff were always approachable, honest and open about my father's condition. All the staff from reception,
administration, management, nursing and care staff showed such care and compassion, not only with my father but also with my 92-year-old mother and our family. I cannot thank the manager and her team enough for the care they gave. I would highly recommend Cherry Tree House to anyone who is looking for the best care possible for their relative.

Mum was transferred into Cherry Tree after a 10 week stay in hospital. As soon as she got there she settled in. The staff took care of her from the moment she arrived making her feel warm and safe and cared for. Mums room had a fabulous view onto the garden which delighted my mum as she could watch
the autumnal trees from her window. Mum remains comfortable and pain-free.
I appreciate the atmosphere which is relaxed but professional from the people who greet you at the door ensure you have your pass and your PPE to the nursing staff, cleaners and carers. I also particularly liked that it was decorated not only for Halloween but also for remembrance day.
I would highly recommend this home to anybody who would want a loved one to be cared for

My mum was admitted to Cherry Tree House in October 2020 and has recently passed away. Because of her illness (Motor Neurone Disease) we weren't given a choice of which nursing home she went to, it was who could cope with her condition and to my delight, it was Cherry Tree House. The building is very
modern with excellent facilities like a 5-star hotel just needs the swimming pool.
The reception staff were always very welcoming and cheerful on the phone and when we arrived to visit. The management has a great team to work with.
Mum's room was always very clean and well maintained with an en-suite bathroom. There is an efficient laundry service that took great care of Mum's clothes. Activities are organised on a regular basis with quiz times, board games, pamper mornings etc. The staff on Bramhall Unit were exceptional in their love and care for my mum. They treated her with respect and dignity at all times and I cannot thank them enough for that.
Cherry Tree House has my highest recommendation.

My dad was in Cherry Tree House for 4 weeks respite. I can't recommend this nursing home enough - every member of staff I spoke to was really helpful. My dad was very well cared for and he was much calmer and ate well too - especially the puddings!
When I phoned my dad I often heard laughter in the
background. The staff seemed well supported too and it was a happy environment for my dad to be in. The manager and assistant manager were also really helpful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident in Cherry Tree House since April 2019. The rooms are beautiful and family are encouraged to personalise them for their relative so that they feel 'at home'. Meals vary from really tasty and filling to plain, snack-sized but 'treat' snacks are available for family to offer
to their loved ones.
I am aware that the home suffers staff retention issues and relies (sometimes heavily) on agency staff which can result in inexperienced staff being asked to 'fill in' when experienced staff are not available.
Reply from Alison Porter, Head of Business & Customer Relations at Cherry Tree House

Many thanks for your kind words which we will share with the staff and I know they will appreciate them.
With regard to your point about agency staff, we have worked extremely hard to reduce our reliance on agency carers and I am happy to tell you that almost all our employee's at Cherry Tree are now permanent members.
Thank you again for your lovely review.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.636)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.636) out of 10 for Cherry Tree House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.636 for Cherry Tree House is calculated as follows: ( (232 Excellents x 5) + (65 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 319 Ratings = 4.636
  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 Tree House is based on 26 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 81 registered maximum number of service users is 16.2, which has been reached with 26 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.
