Cherry Blossom Manor
Bringing first-class care to Bramley Green
The newly opened Cherry Blossom Manor provides nursing and residential care services as well as personalised dementia care in one of Barchester's unique Memory Lane Communities. In addition, we have the facilities to care for younger people with physical disabilities.
The Memory Lane Community is specially designed for those living with a dementia using colour schemes that easily enable residents to identify areas within the home, yellow for dining areas for example. This area features life skills kitchens, where residents can be involved in everyday kitchen activities such as baking and setting the table.
Cherry Blossom Manor is designed to create a home-like feel with furnishings designed with older people in mind, from the sofas and chairs in the living rooms to the sculpted gardens. Throughout the home there is a range of communal and dining facilities to suit people who enjoy socialising as well as those who prefer quieter activities.
Please don't hesitate to contact us for further information or to arrange a viewing.

Zoolab Visit!
Residents at Cherry Blossom Manor enjoyed a Zootastic afternoon when visited by creepy crawlies, slithering snakes and furry friendly four legged creatures. Cele the Activities Organiser arranged for a travelling Zoolab to visit our residents who were then able to experience getting up close and personal with all manor of animals and reptiles, some residents were enthusiastic about petting and handling the interesting visiting guests whilst others were confident to enjoy them from afar and without contact! Either way - it was a fun afternoon that brought something a little different to the activities for the week!
Queens Birthday Tea Party April 2012
A year of Royal Celebrations started with the Queens Official Birthday on April 21st. Residents enjoyed a Royal High Tea to toast the Queen on her birthday. The coffee lounge was transformed with red, white and blue decorations including bunting made by residents in the home as well as balloons and union jacks, giving the lounge a real 'street party' feel. We were pleased to be sharing the special birthday celebrations with the Queen and one of our residents was over the moon on winning the prize in the 'Name a Bear' competition. Harry the Bear was warmly welcomed to his new home!

Plans were 'hatched' to enjoy an eggcellent day with much 'yoking' around in looking for the Treasure Hunt clues whilst donning colourful and home-made Easter Bonnets! Beautiful tree decorations made by the residents were displayed in the coffee lounge for all to enjoy. It was an eggstrordinary day topped by a duck deciding to take up residency in the courtyard garden for the weekend - much eggscitment!
