My dad spent his last few weeks at Cherry Blossom Care home and he was so looked after. The staff go above and beyond to make sure everyone is happy and comfortable. Dad has been previous for respite care and it was his choice to go back there, when he realised he needed more help. From the receptionist,
management, care and nursing team on the 2nd floor, the maintenance man, you were always guaranteed a friendly welcome. I always felt that dad was being very well cared for and I wish he had more time there to appreciate everything they do.
I would recommend Cherry Blossom to everyone and I thank you all for everything.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Cherry Blossom Care Home

I am so sorry for the loss of your dad. It's so very kind of you to provide us with your feedback in such a sad time. My colleagues in Cherry Blossom are delightful. They love what they do, and it shows in the warmth and relationships they develop with the residents and families. It's very special to have that environment, it really makes it a home. I wish you and your family all the best and thank you for being part of our Cherry Blossom family.

My wife and I have the privilege of visiting residents and participating in activities with them. We are impressed with the care the residents receive as it's obvious that the staff have a deep affection for the residents. The care and respect shown by staff towards the residents is truly amazing, it's
as if the residents are part of their family. The staff from the receptionist, who is outstanding as the first point of contact to the nursing, carers, cleaners and maintenance staff are a real credit to your home.

I visit my friend weekly and have been very impressed with the facilities available to both visitors and residents. The staff are welcoming and friendly and appear to be caring towards the residents. There is a bistro cafe on site, where we can help ourselves with hot drinks and or biscuits, etc. It
gives a lovely opportunity to relax with residents.

Every staff member at every level has ensured my mother the highest level of care for the seven and a half years she has lived at Cherry Blossom. I am sure that all Mum's positive and genuine care was firstly implemented from the wonderful registered manager and passed on professionally to all departments
of staff; housekeeping, chefs, catering, senior admin, activities and all nursing staff and amazing home services. An especially big thank you goes to all night staff caring for Mum during her final days and their loving support for me.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Cherry Blossom Care Home

Hello, thank you so much for your considered and kind review. I am so appreciative of you taking the time to do this for us at this sad time. My sympathies for the passing of your mum. It means a great deal to read that you felt the loving support of the whole CB team. They are very well led by a compassionate Manager and they all have that same wonderful trait. It is why it's such a lovely place to be. The model of service and care provided by nursing homes can only be truly fully successful when they are supported in the care of the Resident by the family members and friends of the Resident. It absolutely takes a village to provide the best loving care. My best wishes to you and your family, thank you for your kindness.

I have visited Cherry Blossom on numerous occasions this month and have always been welcomed by the friendly, cheerful receptionist by name. I've noticed that they are replacing carpets, which is lovely. The staff are always available if you have any queries. The rooms are clean and tidy and my friend
has her hair done every week. There are always activities where she can attend and often visiting singers or entertainers. I highly recommend them.

My mother-in-law rang me at 10pm to say the night staff were refusing to put her to bed. She then rang back again at 10.15 pm in a distressed state saying she was tired and stuck in her chair. She then called me back at 10.30pm and was really unhappy saying” they won't listen to me”. Whilst she was
on the phone I heard the night staff shout at my mother, "As I keep telling you, stop ringing the bell, I will put you to bed when I have time". Obviously, she didn't know I was on the phone and could hear my mother being shouted at.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Cherry Blossom Care Home

Hello
Thank you so much for providing us with your feedback. I am deeply shocked and disappointed reading about this experience. We will be investigating these issues immediately. It is completely the opposite experience our families and residents usually have and report on. I can only apologise unreservedly to your Mother and yourself, this must have been really upsetting.

Taking money from patients: My family and I are really disappointed with Allegra Care Cherry Blossom Care Home.
At Christmas, we got a call from Allegra Care saying we owed them £30 and they wanted reimbursing. Apparently, Allegra Care Cherry Blossom had invited a ‘salesman’ into Cherry Blossom to
sell scarves and handbags to the elderly patients. We were told that my 95-year-old father who was suffering from dementia had ‘wanted’ to buy my 94-year older mother who was also in Allegra Cherry Blossom and suffering from dementia, a matching scarf and handbag for £30. Both my mother and father only left their rooms to eat in the dining room. Obviously, this was money money-making scam as they were selling raffle tickets the same week to raise money for the staff Christmas party. We refused to pay and took the scarf and handbag to the Allegra management who were incredibly dismissive, stating, “Well you got your money back what’s the problem?”. The Management was really unprofessional.

My wife spent eight weeks at Cherry Blossom following her discharge from hospital and was made to feel welcome by all the staff. Her room was clean, bright and airy and she seemed to settle quite well. The staff cared for her efficiently and treated her needs with respect. Whenever myself and the family
visited her we were usually greeted cheerfully by the staff who had time to answer any questions/queries we may have had. I was able to enjoy Christmas Day lunch with my wife which was much appreciated. She received cards and Christmas present and also a bunch of flowers for her birthday soon after which was a nice touch. When leaving to come home it was nice to see how many of the staff came to see her and wish us both well before we left.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Cherry Blossom Care Home

Thank you for your review. To be recuperating over Christmas and your birthday is never the best plan! I am so happy to read you both enjoyed Christmas lunch and that your wife was given the birthday attention we all like to receive! Cherry Blossom is a lovely home because our colleagues are warm and friendly. They make the home something special. With my best wishes and thanks.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.515)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.515) out of 10 for Cherry Blossom Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.515 for Cherry Blossom Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 268 Ratings = 4.515

  • 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 Blossom Care Home is based on 20 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 20 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.
