The care that my dad is receiving is very good. The staff are incredibly kind and gentle with him and most of his needs are met. As he isn't mobile, it is great the staff are getting him out of bed and into a special armchair with wheels so he can be positioned in the lounge where he can be part of
things and look out of the window. My dad seems mostly happy and content.
There are times however, when I have to ask the staff a number of times for things to be done for my dad. I feel that the intention to do the things is there but it is forgotten about. I am sure that most of the time, this is due to the staff being very busy.
Cherrytree Care Home is quite tired inside and out and the weeds and cobwebs could be cleared away. I'd like to cheer my dad's room up by putting up pictures and hanging the curtains properly. However, after many promises that it'll get done, it hasn't which is frustrating.
I visit my dad most days and it's clear that are staff are the shining stars of this care home.

We are happy that our mum is being looked after 24/7. She warm, comfortable and fed. My sister and I are pleased knowing mum is getting the care she needs.
We know she can be difficult sometimes but the carers cope with her well.

Our dad had been a resident for most of 2024 and was very unwell for most of that time until his recent passing. The care he has received at Cherrytree Care Home has been second to none. Not only did they take amazing care of him, they also looked after my mum who was vulnerable and who spent a lot
of time visiting. They always kept an eye on her and reported any concerns to us. I will be forever grateful to all the staff at Cherrytrees for the care and love shown to dad, my mum and all the other residents. It was always obvious that everyone was being taken care of extremely well. Thank you so much. I wouldn't hesitate in using your services again should the need ever arise.

Reply from Rachel Brown, Quality and compliance Manager at Cherrytree Care Home

We are so grateful for your lovely review. We will most certainly share this with all of the staff here at Cherrytree.

Please pass that onto mum too. Thanks again, take care.

Our stepdad has been at Cherrytree Care Home since February 2024, the care he has received has been outstanding and he has thrived since having his needs met. The way they have also looked after our mum who visits every day, goes above and beyond and they treat her with compassion, empathy and understanding
of her dementia. Every member of staff that we've met has been welcoming, kind and only too happy to help if needed.

I am especially impressed with the carers who work at the home. I have witnessed kindness and patience on every visit and as a visitor one feels welcome.
The surroundings are pleasant inside and pretty well spaced out for seating, making the atmosphere cordial.

I consulted my two brothers, who, like me, have visited the home regularly, before submitting the following: Several weeks ago my mother became a resident at Cherrytree Care Home. She had recently lost her sight and was no longer able to live safely in her own home. She was made very welcome from the
outset. The staff are gentle, attentive and kind. They are highly skilled and experienced; they know the needs of each resident and it's clear that they enjoy the work. My mother has settled in well in spite of her disability, and has even managed to take part in some of the activities. It's always a happy experience when we visit. Many thanks to the carers, the nurses, the managers - and I must not forget the cleaners. Everything is spotless.

My mum is a resident at Cherrytree and has been here a good few months now, she was taken on an assignment basis and now needs permanent care there.
From the moment I went to see the home until now I would give this home 5 stars all day every day. The care and support they offer is just incredible,
every single member of staff is amazing, I wanted my mum to be looked after and cared for in a way as if she were their mum and that is exactly what she receives, the care and companion is just the best, we as a family will always be truly thankful.

My very dear friend is currently at this care home awaiting assessment. I cannot praise the management and staff enough. They are so kind and caring to her, no matter how busy they are, they cannot do enough for us to make sure we’re ok. I am fairly certain that my friend needs to live in a care home
and I will have no hesitation in asking if she can stay there. Thank you Cherrytree.

I recently had the opportunity to visit Cherrytree Care Home and I was impressed by the level of attentiveness, responsibility and caring displayed by the staff.

to listen to the residents and address their concerns promptly. Overall, I would highly recommend this care home to anyone looking for a safe, comfortable and caring environment for their loved ones.

I recently had the privilege of entrusting the care of my loved one to Cherrytree Care Home and I cannot emphasise enough how impressed I am with the level of care and compassion provided by this facility. From the moment we walked through the doors, it was evident that Cherrytree Care Home is more
than just a care home, it's a place where residents are treated like family.
The staff at Cherrytree Care Home are truly exceptional. They are not only highly skilled and experienced professionals but they also possess a genuine warmth and kindness that instantly put our minds at ease. They take the time to get to know each resident individually, understanding their unique needs, preferences and personalities. The level of personalised attention and care they provide is remarkable and it's evident that they have a true passion for what they do.

I’m so happy with Cherrytree Care Home and the service they provide to my grandmother, she is well looked after. We get such a fantastic welcome when we come to visit, the staff are so friendly and the communal areas are so clean. My grandmother has such a lovely room and is always kept clean. She is
so happy there with the management making sure all residents are safe, clean and warm, I can’t fault any of the team. Thank you for taking care of her, you're all amazing.

This is the worst care home and I use the word care loosely.
We had to move our father because they never looked after him properly.
He was dirty he lost a lot of weight.
I could go on but it won’t make any difference but if you have a loved one that you care about, do not put them in this place.

Reply from Claudia, Senior Manager at Cherrytree Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to bring your experience to our attention. I am deeply sorry you feel this way and you have had a negative experience. Our aim is to provide the best possible care to those we support and it is something we take very seriously. I can provide assurance your father had put on weight as a result of the effort by the team at Cherrytree which is also noted by the Doctor's Surgery. We have lots of pictures of your father enjoying the many parties and activities we have had at Cherrytree, looking clean, presentable and happy. Once again, we are very sorry that you feel the experience did not meet your expectations. We wish you all the very best.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.770)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.770) out of 10 for Cherrytree Care Home 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.770 for Cherrytree Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.77

  • 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 Cherrytree Care Home is based on 17 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 17 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.
