This is a very relaxed care home with a good friendly atmosphere from the minute you enter reception, with a nice smile from the receptionist behind the desk.
All visitors are treated very well once here, even at times when we get in the way!
Thank you, Cherry Blossom.

My wife, who has Vascular Dementia, has been a resident at Cherry Blossom for nearly 12 months and during that time I have been a regular visitor. As her condition has deteriorated I feel that the staff have become more aware of her needs, and have responded in a positive manner and provided the necessary
additional support. The home is impressive, clean, generally tidy and the carers DO care, an important aspect when a loved one is beholden to others for assistance in most aspects of daily living.

I came into Cherry Blossom Care Home last December for respite. I was very impressed so I decided to stay.


Everyone is kind and friendly. The staff are so helpful and I feel I have made a number of friends and no longer feel lonely.

I have a friend who is looked after and cared for on the dementia floor. My friend and I visit our friend/neighbour on a weekly basis and tragic as the situation is, we look forward to our weekly visits. The staff are what makes Cherry Blossom Care Home what it is - the care team both male and female
are patient, caring and very approachable. A difficult floor to work but nothing is too much trouble.

Our experience of Cherry Blossom exceeded all expectations. The staff cared for both my partner's mother and father until sadly they both passed away. We cannot thank the staff enough for the care and compassion they showed, not only to my partner's parents but also to ourselves. The carers and staff
really do go above and beyond the realms of caring. Thank you all so much once again.

You are made to feel welcome the moment you arrive. They have a saying "This is not a workplace but your home and the staff make great efforts to treat each person as an individual". There are great activities on offer, wonderful quiet areas as well as the wonderful garden to sit in, all maintained
to a very high standard. The manager runs the home efficiently and their door is always open if any issues need to be raised. I particularly like the Bistro Coffee Bar.

The moment we walked into the care home we were met with friendliness and kindness. Our Mum was moved from Mansfield to Peterborough and the staff made the move an easy process. We were able to choose the room we liked for her and move her personal belongings in before we went to collect her so that
her move was not difficult or confusing for her. On arrival, staff members were so friendly and welcoming and already knew her favourite drink. Staff on the reception desk, management, care workers, cleaners and caterers have always greeted us with open arms and cheerfulness. Mum has been treated with the greatest kindness and dignity. We, ourselves, have been looked after during her illness as well, by being given meals, drinks and even hugs to comfort. All staff members are approachable and are able to help us and Mum. If a resident's buzzer sounds, the staff attend immediately. We have seen that no resident is left unnoticed. All staff speak to residents with the greatest respect and show interest in them personally. The home layout is clean, open and spacious. We see that our Mum is comfortable and happy here.

Taking the decision to bring my mother into a care home was the biggest decision I have made. This care home has made my initial concerns unfounded as her care and safety has been excellent. The team are friendly and approachable if we have any issues.
Keep up the good work and excellent service.

Since moving mum from another care home, we have found a complete change in her. She is now full of life, happier and settled, all thanks to the staff in the 1st floor which makes all the difference. A big thank you for all the kindness mum has received which clearly has made a positive impact on her.
Thank you again for all that you do. :)

Very pleased with this residential home for our aunt. She has a lovely room which is spotlessly clean. The staff are caring. Entertainment is provided regularly and there is even a cinema room. We were particularly impressed with the celebration laid on for the Queen's 90th birthday.

After visiting my mother and finding her out of sorts I was pleased to be informed that the staff had already noticed. They then told me they had contacted the doctor to get her checked and see if medication was needed. I found it reassuring to be able to discuss my mother's condition with staff and
find how well they are supporting her and her needs.

Very impressive home. I was warmly greeted by all the staff. The atmosphere in this home is lovely, more like a hotel rather than an institution. I noticed a great deal of laughter and a great deal of activities being participated in by several residents. Absolutely wonderful and outstanding home, not
to mention the marvellous bistro and cinema room.

My mum arrived at Cherry Blossom Care Home for 'respite' care with the family's hope that she might make the change to becoming a full-time resident. The first few weeks the staff patiently reassured her and made her feel secure and cared for in every way. I started to see the Mum I had lost in the
last year and with the arrival of the new Entertainments Manager a couple of weeks later, I found that I was arriving to find an excited, active Mum who was thoroughly enjoying each day. The list of 'thank yous' is endless; the food is brilliant, the care staff are fantastic, the entertainments team are outstanding and Cherry Blossom Care Home is without doubt, the best run care home I know!

Mum has been a resident for nearly a year, and in this time my family are more than satisfied with her care. We know she has dementia and is cared for so much better than we can. She seems quite happy when we see her but obviously, the conversation is limited. She enjoys going to the bistro and outside
where she sees people likewise. Mum is very friendly and loves a chat, however limited.

This is more like a hotel and not an old folks home and I have visited quite a few in the past. We have our own private room with en-suite with large windows to look out onto our lovely garden. The staff are all so kind and helpful and always there to have a chat with. I would recommend Cherry Blossom
to anyone in their later years.

I cannot begin to describe the relief i have felt since mum moved into Cherry Blossom. The staff I have met are truly dedicated to improving quality of life and maintaining dignity. Mum has dementia and this awful illness has been very difficult to accept due a lot to my initial ignorance and probable
denial! Here mum is well cared for, happy and content. I now have pleasant happy visits with mum and I am confident that she is in good hands. The nursing and care staff really "know" mum and are very responsive to her needs. I'd like to day a huge thank you to every one involved in mums care and all the staff at Cherry Blossom.

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.
