The care home staff have delivered excellent care in adapting to my mother's medical needs. She benefits from 24/7 nursing care and has had a GP visit every week. Her health is monitored and there is excellent communication between staff and family. The carers are kind, thorough and hard-working. I
just wish there were more of them, as they never stop! They are amazing! They are an example of the best of humanity. The kitchen provides nutritious food with home made sauces and soups. The home is clean and laundry is wonderful. These staff also add another layer of care by giving company and familiarity.

The carers are kind and lovely. They keep me clean and I love my shower and hairwash. They work so hard. They know me and what I like. The nurses check on me and I have a GP visit me in my room. I feel safe. The food is good and they cook my favourite, scampi, for me. I love the coffee machine. I love
the cleaners too. They keep my room spotless, but are also my friends. All the staff are kind. Thank you.

My mother spent the last years of her life at Cherry Tree Care Home from April 2022, until the end of December 2024. She surprised her family by not only fitting into life at Cherry Tree, but being positive and enjoying the company, care and activities. Mum was extremely well looked after and as her
needs increased, so the care seamlessly did the same. Staff were with mum at her passing and we cannot thank them enough for their empathetic care. Cherry Tree became a big part of our lives, and with loosing mum, we've also lost our Cherry Tree family. Thank you all so very much for everything.

Reply from Anna Cooper, General Manager at Cherry Tree Care Home

Good afternoon. Thank you so much for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to look after your mum and she is deeply missed by us all. You will always be part of our Cherry Tree family and we look forward to your next visit. Kind regards

My mum has been at Cherry Tree for two months from the first visit we knew that this would be the place for Mum. I cannot express enough the kindness and care that everyone has shown not only to my mum but also to me. I know Mum is safe and happy and she has made some lovely friends with the other residents
and the care team. I would like to thank them all for looking after my mum and improving her quality of life.

My cousin has been in the facility for a number of years. The care she has received has always been exemplary. The interactions with myself and family members have been very supportive on occasions when there have been medical issues and difficulties regarding the resident's behaviour. They have aided
us with information regarding getting grants for the resident, plus help with other elderly family members.
It is more a home not a facility.

Cherry Tree is an excellent care home, with wonderful, dedicated staff who have made my mother-in-law feel welcome and looked after. The building itself is comfortable and clean, and there is a lovely garden available for residents and visitors. Management are approachable and responsive if there's
anything we need to discuss, and overall we've been very happy with the home.

It’s now Mum’s 4th month at Cherry Tree. We’re on a long path which we'll get through because we have the support of the entire Cherry Tree team. The carers, nurses and management have taken so much time to get to know Mum and her quirks to make Mum more comfortable and happy.
The care is excellent
– when doctors are needed, the local GP is very responsive;
The meals are tasty and varied (fab roast dinners and daily afternoon teas for visitors to share too!);
There are weekly activities. Mum’s enjoying film days. She loves having her hair done. She’s had a chiropody appointment too. Bingo is next.
When we’ve needed extra help with external dental and hospital visits – this has been offered.
Most of all, the Cherry Tree team care – they go the extra mile to make sure every concern – Mum’s or ours – is addressed. Cherry Tree is a family not "just" a nursing home. We know that Mum is in safe hands and she's in the best place.

Mum has been at Hallmark Cherry Tree for a year now. Staff went out of their way to make her feel at home, as it was a challenging time and she'd never experienced anything other than her own home and independence.
Food and activities are very good. Staff are approachable and helpful. Though at times
they are short of staff. When Mum was poorly and also after a fall, outside of Cherry Tree, staff ensured the GP came out to check on her and she had medication as required.

I have found all the staff to be kind and considerate which means a lot as I was caring for my mother and you feel no one can look after her as well as her family. The activities program means so much to my mum as she was a very active person until her stroke. She loved water and was a good swimmer
so a deep soak in a big bath she would love. Food is also important and the majority of the choice she enjoys.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.743)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.743) out of 10 for Cherry Tree Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.743 for Cherry Tree Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (264 Excellents x 5) + (75 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 346 Ratings = 4.743

  • 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 Care Home is based on 29 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 29 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.
