My dad has been at Cherry Blossom Manor for a year. He feels happy, well cared for and safe in this home. He enjoys regular visits from his 'beautiful wife', who he just said to me that he has had a 'wonderful life' with my mum and although they now have to live apart, his wife brightens his day when
she visits Dad and we are pleased with the kind, loving, cheerful care Dad has received.

Reply from Gigi Despojo, GM at Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor

Hi Linda, thank you for your kind compliment. I am glad that your dad is receiving kind and loving care from the cheerful team of Cherry Blossom. I will make sure that the team are made aware about your feedback.

Although our dear dad/grandad was not in the home for very long before he passed away, he was cared for well and felt that he had settled in well.


We visited most weekends en masse, daughter, grandchildren, great-granddaughter and our dog whom Dad was immensely fond of and were always made to feel

so welcome. We enjoyed having lunch with him and nothing seemed to be too much trouble and staff always greeted us with a smile.


Thank you.


Reply from Gigi Despojo, General Manager at Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor

Hi Karen, Thank you for your lovely words about the home and for the team. We are happy that we were part of your wonderful memory whilst your dad was here in Cherry Blossom. We hope you can drop by for some cake and coffee especially this 21 April for our Open Day. Thank you.

We have found that Cherry Blossom Manor is a very good care home. The carers are all positive and very cheerful and they show respect to the residents. We have spoken to the carers on many occasions, they are very helpful! They often have comforting words when things can be a little stressful and upsetting.
They always make time to speak to you. We have also heard that the food is very good! Compliments to the chef!

Dad was extremely ill on Christmas Eve and if it was not for the staff that day he would not have made it to the doctor. Well, Dad is still here and receives excellent care from the staff. Two, in particular, are a real credit to the home and I hope they are treated accordingly.

The care and attention that all members of staff give to my in-laws is second to none.
The encouragement to assist and ensure a quality of life from all staff to my mother-in-law has given her confidence to join in and my father-in-law is encouraged to play the piano and enjoy films.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My stay here I can only judge from my own physical condition at that time.
The accommodation was excellent but limited by the abilities of the other occupants.
This reduced the moral chance of forming social contact with other people.
Very good but very limited choice owing to few people in a similar
situation to my own.

Reply from Gigi Despojo, General Manager at Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor

Thank you, Douglas, for giving us all a very encouraging review. I will feedback this to the team and make our service better for all the residents here and in future.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

This care home manages my mother's personal needs 24/7 including regular services and nursing. My mother is treated in many kind ways by all the staff and has maintained a good relationship with ourselves in order to cooperate on timing, visits and events.
I have encouraged the home to create a musical
extension to their regular timetable and help by playing the piano which is appreciated as well.


The Christmas Party this year was well organised and the standard of fun exceptional. I have participated in regular events about dementia training. The communication between different layers of staffing could be improved sometimes when my outsider view is challenged but I do not hold this as a severe criticism.


Reply from Gigi Despojo, General Manager at Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor

Hi Ian, Thank you for your kind words to every single team member of the home. Please know that we truly are grateful also for the time and your talent in playing wonderful music on the piano which gives a pleasure and joy to our dementia residents.

Every time I visit, the place is always clean and tidy, with the staff looking after all efficiently and they seem caring. Most times when I come, it is the end of lunch, so there is always clearing, helping the last to finish. My mum's room is always clean and tidy, and I am impressed generally with
the lack of 'dirty' smells - overall good!

I can honestly say that I could not have hoped for better care for my dad in his last year of life. The care, companionship and support shown to be given to my dad was beyond my expectations. My appreciation to all the staff that cared for him, cannot be extended enough to show how much it means to

My mother moved to Cherry Blossom Manor 8 weeks ago. I was very impressed with the caring and efficient way in which she was welcomed and integrated into her new surroundings. All the staff are kind and approachable and nothing is too much trouble. Despite her dementia, they have made great efforts
to get to know Mum and understand her, her likes and dislikes. The surroundings are all very pleasant and there is a happy atmosphere on Memory Lane.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.833 for Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor is calculated as follows: ( (288 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 336 Ratings = 4.833

  • 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 28 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 28 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.
