Well run, excellent care workers, right down to the cleaners. Lovely garden to sit in the sun, get some fresh air and take my mum's mind off day to day living, which at 95 is a challenge. I would recommend the care home to anyone.

I moved my mother to Cherry Garth 18 months ago when her dementia worsened to the extent that she could no longer stay in her previous care home. Having had two years experience of care homes we were very careful in choosing Cherry Garth. However, our experience has been wonderful. She has settled in
very well and been well looked after. The staff are excellent. In fact, in the last two months, we have moved my partner's ex-mother-in-law into the same home!

Cherry Garth was my mother's home for almost five years. Despite suffering the progressive effects of Alzheimer's, she lived a happy and meaningful life there, made possible by the wonderful care staff and superb management team.
From a family viewpoint, it was always a pleasure to visit Ma. Before
she moved in, we were able to furnish her room to replicate her family home, which gave her the comfort of familiar surroundings and she always had the freedom to potter around in the kitchen, bringing continuity to that of her normal daily routine. Many happy memories with Ma and fellow residents and their families at Cherry Garth including Christmas parties, 'Fine Dining' evenings, summer barbecues in the garden and numerous music events.

My mum was a resident at Cherry Garth since Aug 2012. The kindness, love and support that the incredible team of management and care staff has been outstanding.
My mum was encouraged to live the active lifestyle she always had and despite her dementia, she was happy in her 'home' pottering.
Her
care was given with thought and respect and staff took the time to get to know and love her. They were able to cope with times of anxiety by giving her time to chat through things. This understanding created a bond of trust which was an incredible support and reassurance for me as I knew mum was being well looked after.
It was a wonderful place to visit ....just like home.
I realise that choosing a care home is an incredible responsibility and I visited many in the High Wycombe area. Cherry Garth ticked all the boxes - spacious, clean and bright, with en suite rooms and a lovely atmosphere.
Staff did well organising a range of activities and went far beyond their job roles to make residents feel at home

We went to visit many care homes before entrusting our mother to the wonderful Cherry Garth. Everything about it is superb. The care staff always go the extra mile. They have made my mother feel she is 'at home' and are always welcoming to us.
On one visit, I arrived to find all the top floor residents
gathered in the kitchen to help the cook make a Christmas cake, a happy moment!

Amazing carers, lovely and welcoming. I could not say a bad word about them all. I have to add the staff were amazing. I just don't know what my family would have done without those three.

I have found the staff patient and helpful. They also make myself and family welcome when we visit. My father who is a very fussy eater and has managed most meals and has always been offered an alternative.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.561)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.561) out of 10 for Cherry Garth is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 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 4.644 for Cherry Garth is calculated as follows: ( (89 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.644

  • 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 4.917 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cherry Garth is based on 11 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.917

  • 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.
