On behalf of myself and my family, I would like to thank all the staff and managers of Cherryvalley Care Home for all the help and concern when my 90-year-old Mum injured her ankle. They all went above and beyond/ One nurse in particular was extremely helpful and I felt was the one who helped advise,
and reassure me. I cannot say how the staff supported and now Mum has returned they are looking forward to nursing her back to good health.

The care team and management are lovely and are very approachable, nothing is too much trouble for them. They all do a great job in providing a home from home atmosphere

I love my bedroom. There is plenty of room, it is bright and I am able to bring in my own belongings that make my room very homely. The menu choices are very good, always hot. The staff are very caring and attend to my personal needs in a respectful and dignified way. Staff listen to what I am saying
and act on it. I have the best of both worlds, I can enjoy my own company or socialise with staff and other residents. Three days a week activities are offered and seasonal entertainment is offered where I can invite my family.

Cherryvalley has been home to my brother for the past two years. He suffered a severe stroke which has resulted in him needing intensive nursing care. Management and staff have been terrific with him, always treating him with kindness and respect. Sadly he cannot communicate so as a family we are so
grateful for the nursing care and attention he is receiving at Cherryvalley Care Home.

The moment you walk into Cherryvalley Care home there is a bright look, fresh smell and a happy atmosphere. The reception area is similar to a good hotel with lovely, comfortable armchairs and an electric fire by the wall. My sister loves going there during the day and people watches all the coming
and going. My sister is very happy at Cherryvalley and often comments on the excellent care she receives and how the safety and security allows her to sleep in peace. A wonderful team at Cherryvalley. Please keep up the great work you do for your patients.

I contacted Cherryvalley when my mother was due for discharge from hospital.
The manager was quick to confirm availability and conduct assessment.
As a family we are completely satisfied with the nursing care she is receiving and couldn't ask for more. The staff have tried to make her feel at home
and are attentive at all times.

We attended the Christmas party and everyone had a great day. Our aunt had a brilliant day and even got her feet moving to the music - she's 97! Since she moved here in November 2019, the change in her has been remarkable. She has a good choice of food and has put on some weight as she was down to seven
stone. I could not praise the staff enough as they worked very hard to ensure that everyone had a great time. Definitely 5 star.

My mother has been a resident in Cherryvalley Care Home for just over 5 years and is very settled now. The staff are generally attentive and try to respond to my mother and her individual needs. The staff are friendly and are always open to discussing any matters relating to my mother's care needs.

Very clean and pleasant environment. The friendly competent staff made Mum welcome and did all they could to keep her safe, clean and comfortable. The open door policy encourages friends and family to visit and a visitor was made welcome, offered refreshments and encouraged to support Mum in adjusting
to her new home. Manager and staff are very accommodating.

Since my mother has moved here she has been very happy; the staff are second to none if there is any type of problem, they are on the phone to me asap. They never let her down. Her health is 100% better, her care is fantastic, I feel when I go home she is looked after and I know she is safe. I would
recommend this care home to anyone who only wants the best for their family.

I am 70 years old and my mother, 2 aunts, my in-laws and now my brother-in-law have all experienced care homes, more than one in some cases. I have done a lot of visiting to all of these care homes, so I think I am in a position to judge with some knowledge and objectivity whether a care home is giving
optimal care etc. I have visited Cherryvalley Care Home many times. My sister, of course, visits her husband frequently. I have found all staff to be professional. From the many interactions with staff which my sister has reported to me, they have been caring, positive and reactive. Similarly, my brother-in-law has always said to me that staff are very good.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.010)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.010) out of 10 for Cherryvalley 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 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 5 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 4.967 for Cherryvalley Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (58 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.967

  • 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 4.043 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cherryvalley Care Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.2 = 0.543

  • 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.
