Mum moved to Cherry Trees in April 2025. From the evening we arrived with a very miserable Mum (she did not want to be in a 'home' but was no longer able to manage on her own!) Mum was met with warmth & love. The staff went over and above to make her feel welcome & comfortable.
We visited several
nursing homes but from the moment we visited Cherry Trees we knew it was 'the one'. The building works very well. The rooms are lovely, bright & spacious, most with lovely outlooks. There are plenty of welcoming areas to sit. The gardens & the central courtyard are a bonus.
Residents are encouraged to make their rooms their own & nothing was too much trouble to do this.
But, the thing that makes Cherry Trees exceptional is the staff. Without exception they are kind, loving & professional. Mum was always treated with respect & kindness & made good friends with many of the staff. We, as her family, were also treated as friends.
At the end her care (and ours) was exemplary. Thank you so much.

My late father received superb care during his year in Cherry Trees. All the staff were deeply professional and clearly had his best interests at heart. He was comfortable and comforted throughout by a really great team who were highly skilled in looking after him especially as his cognitive
capacity declined. The Home itself is modern and in a rural setting, rooms are en suite and facilities excellent. Recommended

Cherry Trees has a lovely caring ethos, every member of staff helping you feel welcome and cared for with dignity and plenty of humour where appropriate. Some rooms are quite modest, bordering tired, but refurbishment is underway I understand. All is very acceptable, though, but it is the kindness
of the staff that is most beneficial. Food is good, sometimes outstandingly good - it was the best porridge in 80+ years of enjoying it!!
The activities leader, Rachel, is a daily ray of sunshine encouraging residents with varied opportunities out of their rooms, plenty of challenges, fun, sociability & normality. It became a highlight of my day and is an underrated, vitally important part of the day.

This has to be the hardest review I've ever written. Manly because I'm no Chaucer, Dickens or H G wells and lack the literacy skills to put down in words just how good Cherry Trees Nursing Home is. However, here goes,
The design and decor of the building make Cherry Trees seem more like a large
home or country hotel than a care facility. From the soft carpet through to the decor, it is homely, relaxing and comforting to both residents and visitors.
Residents rooms are large, airy with tasteful furniture along with great views from the windows. As the rooms are carpeted this reinforces the feeling of home.
However good a building, it is the staff who make Cherry Trees what it is. They aren't so much staff as family. From the cleaner who gives my mom a kiss and tells her that she loves her, to the carer who cracks jokes and banter with her during 'personal care' changes along with giving her hugs when they meet. The nurses with the a task of encouraging my mom to take her

The staff at Cherry Tress take great care of my Mom and go the extra mile. They have put up a poster in my Mom's room of her favourite athlete which was very kind.
The room is lovely overlooking well kept gardens. I am delighted that my Mom is there.

Following a nasty fall and fracture my mother in law totally lost her independence and mobility. We selected Cherry Trees having looked a many care homes for her. The staff were lovely , helpful and friendly. After almost two years this had not changed many of the staff have become more like friends
Walking in theres a nice atmosphere and warmth The team that look after my mother in law do a fantastic job. Patient, caring and safe in the knowledge she's being well looked after
Thank you for all you do

I must say, Cherry Trees just keeps getting better.
I recently visited mum, whilst the home hosted a Christmas Market. It was set up marvelously and was a great idea to give permanent residents an opportunity to experience the atmosphere.
Once again, the Activities Team have excelled in bringing
this into the care home, speaking to some of the other relatives and guests, the occasion was appreciated fully by all.
Many thanks to Carly and her team for bringing the Christmas atmosphere to all the residents.
Outstanding!!!

I am a member of Therapy Dogs Nationwide and have been visiting Cherry Trees with my Australian Sheep dog, Fingal, on a weekly basis for some years. I can say that I am consistently impressed by how nice the staff are and with the variety of the daily activities provided for the residents. Fingal
and I thoroughly enjoy our visits and are warmly welcomed by staff and residents alike.

My wife has been a resident at Cherry Trees for over 3yrs during that time I have had no reasons to complain I have been happy with the care my wife has been given and continues to receive as her condition worsens

I regularly visit a friend that has called Cherry Trees "home" for the last year. The home is always clean and the staff so friendly. She loves getting involved in the activities and informs me that the food is pretty good too. There are lots of lovely places to sit and chat. Most recently, it was
a beautiful sunny day so we sat in the courtyard with tea & cakes. She has made some wonderful friends that come and sit with us from time to time. Everyone is always happy. It feels homely and the staff treat us all like family. Keep up the good work, it is much appreciated.

I helped an elderly friend and neighbour find the right home a year ago and Cherry Trees has not disappointed. It is an exemplary home - lovely rooms, spotlessly clean, warm and friendly staff. Nothing is too much trouble. She has settled well, made friends and is living a happy, risk free life -
loved and cared for. Living in her own home became fairly lonely and worrying for her, maintaining her home and her life became just too much effort. Here her days are her own and worry free, every need catered for. She loves it.

Wow, Cherry Trees really sets a high standard of loving care and fun. I never cease to be impressed by the wide variety of events they lay on for the residents. Add to that the nursing care is excellent. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the wonderful team here, thank you all so much for
looking after my lovely Mum so well.

My family and I recently celebrated what would have been my grandad's 80th birthday at Barchester Cherry Trees Care Home where my grandma is a resident. The room we were able to use was perfect, the food the home provided was amazing, it tasted delicious and there was plenty of it for all 15 of us!
The staff go above and beyond to accommodate and ensure everything is running as you wish. Our family all commented on how clean the home is and how friendly all of the staff are. We can't thank everyone at the Cherry Trees enough for their help in arranging this and the work they do every day to look after the residents, including my gran! Thank you all.

Mum was cared for in Barchester Cherry Trees Care Home for twenty-three months, throughout that time her care was exemplary, especially as she became more physically frail. I was impressed by how she was always seen as an individual and not a "bed" or "room" by staff. I was touched that, at Cherry
Trees, the care extended to me, as Mum's son, and the acknowledgement that moving a relative into care is challenging. As Mum became more frail, the staff used their vast experience to recognise and support me with my struggles with her changing circumstances.
It was great to be encouraged to personalise Mum's room and I think it definitely became her safe space towards the end of her life. I feel we did our best for Mum and that Cherry Trees did the same making her safe and comforted in the last two years of her life.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Cherry Trees as a place to live.

I've just had the best experience of Cherry Trees. My mum has been there for over three years now and is on Memory Lane. Well, they certainly made a memory for me today on their social media page talking about Barchesrter's "values", I smiled at some of the early comments but absolutely cried with
laughter at the "bloopers". If anyone has any doubts about a placement here for a loved one, I suggest, if you can, look at this page (11/12 September 2024) because laughter says it all. If you need a quick one-off review of the type of place this is, you'll get it. The residents are cared for, respected, acknowledged and listened to. Quite simply, take a look because they all say it themselves.

My husband has improved beyond all expectations since moving into Cherry Trees. We have been very pleased with the care he has received. The staff seem kindly and genuinely caring.
27 February 2024
Mum moved in in October 2022. A tough decision for her and us, as her family.
The manager and her team are great. Mum is so happy and is well looked after.
The home is decorated for Valentine’s Day and looks lovely and is fun for the residents. We are so happy to see Mum safe and cared for but
most of all happy!
Four members of staff in particular are super but in fairness, so are the whole team.
I can highly recommend Cherry Trees.
Keep up the good work.

My husband has had two much-needed respite breaks at Cherry Trees. He is now going to convert to a permanent residency. His needs are being well met by the warm and welcoming staff in the dementia unit. It took a while for him to settle in, but I am very grateful that with patience and understanding
from the nurses and carers, he is now comfortable in his new surroundings and routine. The administrative team have also been particularly helpful in advising me through this emotionally difficult process.
I am so glad that we have chosen Cherry Trees. The setting is great, with beautiful gardens and a welcoming cafe area and courtyard. Its location close to Alcester is useful, as the town has riverside walks, many coffee shops and plentiful parking for accompanied trips out from the care home. Rooms are kept clean and airy, and nursing staff are attentive. Visiting has become a pleasure, knowing that my husband is well looked after.

We put my father into Cherry Trees Care Home a few months ago. First impressions are that it is a very caring care home. The staff are kind, friendly and seem to have built up a good rapport with him in the short time he has been there. He likes the outlook from his room which is very pleasant with
planting and views out across the fields. The food is varied and they seem to cater for his needs. We visited him the other day as lunch was being served to him, which was scampi and chips which we noted was not on the menu for that day and which he obviously enjoyed. He has actually said to us that he doesn't think we could have found a better home for him. He has been able to have a few items hanging on the walls from his house and we were able to bring in his electrically operated chair which he finds comfortable and his small hi-fi which he listens to. We all feel that he is in a good place which gives us a deal of comfort and peace of mind.
