The home is good and friendly. The home is like a family. Only twenty residents so like a home or as good as. Food and snacks are offered throughout the day and lots of choices of drinks. Nothing is too much trouble. Would recommend it.
Activities are excellent, something every day and some theme days
also.

My late mother was cared for at Cherry Tree House Care Home for nearly eighteen months. The home is spotlessly clean, the food is home cooked and of excellent quality and, most importantly, the staff are wonderful. In the final weeks of her life, she was looked after by them with such tender loving
care. They provided us with the privacy that meant we could say goodbye to her in her warm, comfortable and peaceful room.

I would totally recommend this care home. The managers and staff have been very supportive and compassionate in settling my parents into Cherry Tree House Care Home. They have been very responsive to any of our queries. The managers and staff go over and beyond to create an environment that is both
homely and meets my parents' physical and emotional needs. They are very sensitive and thoughtful to ensure that they tailor the care they offer to meet their individual needs. I am always met with a warm welcome when I visit my parents. The staff always have time to have a chat. My parents also are very complimentary about the food that is all cooked on the premises.

Cherry Tree House Care Home is still a good place to be!
My mother is well looked after and I visit her regularly. Unfortunately, she has very limited vision and poor hearing which make it difficult for the staff to keep her occupied at times.

There is always something happening in the home and the activities are varied to suit everyone.

Her room is always clean and her clothes

Our aunt has been a resident of Cherry Tree House for a few years now. She moved in after losing confidence living alone at home. As soon as our aunt moved in, she (and we) knew it was the right decision. Our aunt has nothing but praise for the team who cares for her. She is very happy with her accommodation,
and she enjoys the food and the activities. From our perspective, we have the reassurance that she is being looked after with genuine respect, dignity and warmth. During the various lockdown restrictions, the care home kept us informed and did their utmost to ensure safe visits. We are hugely grateful for all that the team did at a time that was very worrying and challenging for them too. Thank you for making Cherry Tree House a home from home for our aunt.

We chose Salveo Care's Cherry Tree House Care Home, Wendover on the recommendation of some friends of ours who had experienced the high quality of care their mother had enjoyed at the establishment. I must say that this was reflected in the experience my mother is currently having. The staff all show
a sympathetic, nothing is too much trouble, very professional approach to delivering personal care to both the service user and their family. We would highly recommend the safe, comfortable and can do environment that Salveo Care's Cherry Tree House provides.

My Grandma spent 2 lovely years in this safe secure and friendly home. She had suffered several strokes which had left her less cheerful than she had previously been but that didn’t matter, the staff were still incredibly friendly with her despite this.
It was lovely to know that I didn’t have to
worry about her and the longevity of the staff meant there was always a friendly familiar face to greet you in the corridors.
As the place is so small everyone knows everyone very well and is always willing to help.

Cherry Tree House was the perfect fit for my aunt moving from Dorset following a fall. The transition into the home felt almost seamless as my aunt found all the staff and management team very welcoming, living up to their mission of it being 'a home from home'. She very quickly felt at home and became
very fond of the team supporting her.

Cherry Tree House provided an excellent respite experience for my mother. A small friendly home with caring, attentive staff and spotless rooms. There was a diverse programme of events to join in (or not), creating a stimulating environment and well planned care so my mother felt safe. Great to be able
to join her too for a coffee or a meal booked ahead. Visitors felt welcome.

I was admitted to Cherry Tree House in October 2019. The premises were spotless and consequently, there was not the overriding smell which one often gets in premises like these. I would, however, say that the type of some occupants left much to be desired, although I appreciate the difficulties you
must face.

My father lived at Cherry Tree for two weeks while we were adapting his house. I was delighted with the care he received and completely confident that he was comfortable, safe and well cared for while I was unable to look after him. Principally, the staff were exemplary. Everyone, without exception,
was genuinely friendly and interested in my father's comfort and well-being. The staff were skilled and professional at all times but my overall impression (and I or other family members visited every day) was of the warmth and genuine care that everyone exhibited. They really could not do enough for him. The food was excellent and was very important in helping him recuperate from a long stay in hospital which had sapped his strength and fitness. His room was very pleasant although some of the rooms are quite small since Cherry Tree is not purpose-built, but the overall environment; is homely and cosy. I would not hesitate to recommend Cherry Tree House and its team.

My elderly mother has been a resident at Cherry Tree House for nearly 3 years. The home has modern and well-furnished rooms, the food is excellent and the staff are extremely caring and friendly, it has a warm and welcoming ambience.
Mum's care needs have changed as her dementia has developed. The
management and staff keep me fully informed with all matters involving mum, they regularly update her care plan to ensure it is perfectly tailored to meet her needs. The care she receives is of really high quality. The staff provide regular activities for residents and families alike.
The manger is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and professional - I have been really impressed with how she runs the care home.
Overall, I am extremely happy with Cherry Tree House. I have recommended it to others in the same situation as me, knowing that it's somewhere that they can feel confident that their loved ones are safely looked after in a caring and friendly environment.

My mother recently spent two weeks at Cherry Tree House for respite. The care she received was exemplary. Our initial meeting with the manager was extremely well led and informative and the follow on assessment by the manager was thorough and allayed mum's fears about going into respite. The welcome
we received was warm and genuine. Mum thoroughly enjoyed the food, the many varied activities and the cheerful disposition of all the staff. In the end, she wished she could stay and that is the biggest compliment ever.
Keep up the great work. With grateful thanks.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.812)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.812) out of 10 for Cherry Tree House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.812 for Cherry Tree House is calculated as follows: ( (158 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.812

  • b) 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 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

My journey with Salveo Care began in 2020 at the onset of the pandemic.
