My mother who passed peacefully away on Christmas day, could not have had any better care. The staff were brilliant, and I cannot thank them enough for what they did. With so much bad publicity around, it is great to report five star care with a big plus. Highly recommend cannot fault. Thank you so
much.

In the short time my cousin has been in the home she has settled down very quickly and is very happy with the excellent service the staff give her. As guests we are always made to feel extremely welcome and nothing is too much trouble and any questions we may have are always answered truthfully.

I feel that the home has the potential to be excellent. However at the moment it is still finding its feet, silly basic mistakes are being made and at times I feel the staff find family presence a problem. In time I believe Cherry Blossom could and should be the number 1 care home in Peterborough.

My Grandfather has been in here now for 3 weeks and settled in so quickly, the staff here are fantastic and knowing my grandfather is having the best possible care is such a comfort. I come everyday to see him with my family and we are always welcomed by staff.
It is luxury here and the rooms are
decorated lovely and it feels like home from home . I definitely would recommend this place to anyone, it's like a 5* hotel.
We can't thank you enough for looking after my Grandfather and my family every time we visit.

My mother has been a resident at Cherry Blossom for a couple of months and despite having respite previously in some nice homes this is the first time she has been happy to be away from home. The management and carers are extremely accommodating of her needs, the chef painstakingly prepares pureed food
for her but keeps it all separate rather than one big mush, and the carers are working hard to get her mobility back. It is nice to feel safe in the knowledge she is being well cared for.

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.
