I have been attending the home on a weekly basis for the past year. I have always found the staff welcoming and had no issues with visiting, including times. My brother's room is always clean and he is well-presented. He has never complained or found fault with the home. I have been present during meal
times, which look very good. I am kept up to date with any issues and so far cannot find fault. Staff do and amazing job.

The love and care bestowed to my mother over the last five years has been exceptional. As a family, we have been supported throughout the night up to the point where my mother recently passed away. We are thankful to all the carers at Peartree, especially all those on the second floor who cared and
loved Mum and to a particular member of staff for organising all the activities and fun entertainment for the residents, Mum always enjoyed. Another particular staff member and her team have all been exceptional. Much love to you all.

Reply from Larysa Koss, Quality Partner at Peartree Care Home

Peartree has been a rock of support for me and the family, so stress has been taken away. Mum has been here for one year and a month, well past her diagnosis of 3 to 6 months. There is so much for residents to do with events and in-house activities. Mum settled in very well and is happy, and that makes
me happy and reassured

I was apprehensive about leaving my mum in the care of strangers but I have been very pleasantly surprised. Everyone on the staff is caring, friendly and warm. They really do demonstrate how to care for frail and vulnerable people. Pertree is a gem among care homes, the staff go over and above every

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.963)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.963) out of 10 for Peartree Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 63 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 63 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 4.963 for Peartree Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (723 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 750 Ratings = 4.963

  • 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 Peartree Care Home is based on 63 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 63 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.
