What a wonderful place! Its very telling that most of the staff have been there for years, it is such a good environment. My mother was exceptionally well cared for and all the staff are really passionate about their work. The premises are modern and well maintained and the food is excellent. I told
them they have a new customer, I'd like to go there when I am in need (hopefully a few years yet).

My husband originally went for respite, but, is now a resident. The home is light and bright and welcoming, more like a hotel than a care home. The staff are friendly and helpful. There is a good selection on the menu every day. Activities all week. I can now rest knowing my husband is well cared for
and in safe hands.

Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor staff never fail to impress me. They genuinely care about my mother and this shows in their words, actions and attitude. Their sense of humour, resident centered care, building of relationships and how the home looks and the activities available are wonderful. Everyone
greets my mother by name - housekeeping, catering, ground staff and admin staff. The carers and nurses are just great. Thanks for everything. My mother is very happy and I am too.

Hi Claire, your appreciation means everything. Your heartfelt compliment never fails to encourage us as we continue to strive for exceptional service and care.

What's not to like?
I was looking for the ideal respite care for my mother for a short period whilst I got home care into place. I wanted her to have the best possible experience of a care home so she would always think fondly of her time in a home. From the moment I first visited Barchester Cherry
Blossom Manor and was shown around, I knew my mother would feel like she was on holiday. The ensuite rooms are immaculate, the eating areas are set out like restaurants, the lounges are luxurious but by far, the largest attribute is the staff. The manager and her deputy visited my mother at home for assessment and were delightful. At the home, the staff go above and beyond each and every day and treated my mother as if she were part of their own family. Absolutely nothing is too much trouble which is important when you are leaving a loved one in their care, I got nothing other than a real "feel good" factor all the time my mother was at Cherry Blossom. Importantly, my mother was very happy at Cherry Blossom!

Hi Chris, caring for and knowing your mum whilst she was here with us has been a privilege. Thank you for taking the time to review us.

Initially, I placed my husband in emergency respite at Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor, I could no longer manage his dementia. It was a difficult decision to make and staff were excellent with their support for the transition. I realised he was thriving there and decided to make it permanent. Staff
are so friendly and caring. The home has a very friendly atmosphere for both residents and family. I know I have made the right decision.

Reply from Gigi Despojo, GM at Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor

Thank you for taking the time to review us. As we always say to you, you have done your best to look after your husband at home however he needs more specialist care at this stage of his disease now. Thank you for your trust and confidence in our care. I assure you that he is happy and safe and well cared for here. I will share this with my team. We are grateful.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Mum has been at Cherry Blossom since October 2023. Her experience from the get-go has been second to none. Within the first week, we could see a difference in her. They ensured that her needs were met and went above and beyond to ensure that she was well looked after and that the little things that
meant so much to her were done. She has always taken pride in her appearance and it was such a relief to see that the carer's had picked up on this. Within weeks her overall health but particularly her mental health, had improved considerably. It took her a little while to settle but each day the carers were patient with her and went very much at her pace. Now, she is a different woman, she takes part in the activities and has made some wonderful friends. All the carers are respectful, kind and helpful and we all feel that she is in very safe hands. Additionally, as a visitor we are always made to feel very welcome- whether you are 1 or 101 Cherry Blossom Care Home is a wonderful place to be.

Reply from Gigi Despojo, GM at Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor

We are incredibly grateful for your kind words and a 5-star rating in all areas of our service. This inspires the whole team to continue and do more to ensure residents have a meaningful home life. We are happy that we can also reassure the family of their loved ones in the home. I will ensure your review will be shared with the rest of my team.

I submitted a review last year and I am pleased to say Dad continues to do very well thanks to the Cherry Blossom Care Team. I am regularly kept up to date about Dad's general well-being, our opinion is valued, and concerns are listened to and allayed particularly with regard to changes in treatment
and medication, with updates sent immediately should there be a more pressing issue. The team is great, always thinking about what is best for Dad and how to make his day more comfortable and enjoyable his safety and well are their first consideration, and all of this is of great importance as we live abroad and are not able to return to the UK as frequently as we would like. I have absolutely no concerns that Dad is happy and comfortable and receiving the best possible care, we are very grateful to all of the team for their time and dedication, Dad and I appreciate this immensely as I am sure to do all the residents and family members who have loved one at Cherry Blossom Manor.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.827)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.827) out of 10 for Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.827 for Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor is calculated as follows: ( (276 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 324 Ratings = 4.827

  • 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 Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor is based on 27 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 77 registered maximum number of service users is 15.4, which has been reached with 27 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.
