What our families say: Cherry Blossom Manor Care Home

"My sister spent several years in Cherry Blossom Manor before she died. She was known as a bit of a character, and we know she would sometime be a bit of a difficult character. The staff were always really supportive of her, both medically and socially. We live abroad, and their staff were always helpful in keeping us up to date on her well-being. We were very glad that she was cared for at Cherry Blossom Manor."

"The environment is very attractive inside and out with different places to go The nurses and carers are patient-centred and try to meet the needs of different residents in interactive ways. My mother has found it hard to settle into resident care, and staff have tried to help her with this in an excellent and caring residential environment."

"Throughout the last two years, my mother-in-law has been a resident at Cherry Blossom; she has been cared for and treated with the utmost respect and dignity by all the staff. My husband and myself are kept up to date with how she is doing and any interventions needed by any other health care professional. Lead nurses and carers are always cheerful and willing to listen to any concerns or worries we have. A massive thank you to all involved in my mother-in-law's care. I would definitely recommend Cherry Blossom to anybody who was looking for a nursing home for their loved ones."

"I have been visiting Cherry Blossom Manor for over two years now to see my godmother. Initially, it was a difficult transition for her to move away from her home. However, after a couple of months, she settled in and became accustomed to and comfortable in her new home. The staff have been incredibly helpful and have taken great care to look after her, from the friendly personal attention of those connecting with her on a daily basis to the special meals prepared for her as her needs changed. Sadly, she passed away this week. Right to the end, I witnessed the staff showing true compassion and empathy towards her, making sure she was comfortable and felt personally supported. I wish to thank everyone at Cherry Blossom Manor for making her feel valued and loved through her last two years."

"I have written to the Head of Memory Lane to thank her for the wonderful care that my wife received on Memory Lane. It far exceeded my expectations and I could not have been happier with Cherry Blossom Manor. I would recommend it unreservedly to anyone who was wanting to place a relative in care. One hears so many bad reports about care homes, but Cherry Blossom is clearly an exception. Apart from the lovely environment, it was clean and always well staffed with kind and attentive carers who really seemed to enjoy their job."

"My mother moved to Cherry Blossom Manor in November 2019. She settled quickly and enjoyed the activities organised for her. She had a mobile phone in her room and spoke to her daily. She told us how well she was being looked after and often whilst we were talking in the evening someone would pop in with a cup of tea and a biscuit for her. Lockdown curtailed our visits to her but we were still able to talk and the home provided a tablet so that we could video call her too. They set up a Covid safe pod which we could book to use, she could sit on the other side of the screen and see the family. The pandemic reduced her activities and she began to decline. Towards the end of 2021, we were able to visit face to face again and brought her out for tea occasionally. Sadly her dementia accelerated and she passed away in November 2021. The staff at the home were extremely caring and it was great to learn how much she had become part of their "family." We are very grateful to all her carers."

The team at Cherry Blossom are always helpful and they give mum the time to do daily living tasks and activities. They are very good at encouraging mum to do as much as she can for herself.

"We have been very happy with the care of our aunt. The staff on the memory lane unit have been kind, considerate and caring. As we didn't live in the area it was difficult to visit regularly and we were always well-informed about our aunt's health and well-being. There was always a warm welcome from all the staff and the environment was clean, safe and bright. It takes teamwork to produce that environment and this was certainly the case at Cherry Blossom. Thank you"

"My wife's parents moved into Cherry Blossom over 3 years ago, both having various care needs. Mum had severe dementia. Both of them have subsequently died. The care and concern shown by both the care and nursing staff was second to none. Even the cleaning and kitchen staff showed care and understanding. All involved supported the resident, as well as the family members, with empathy and respect. It was touching to see how involved the staff were their lives. Some of the staff have be friends. Personally, I cannot speak highly enough of the staff and the level of care. Thanks you all so much"

"The staff have been amazing, they worked with a hospital 160 miles away to have my dad (who has late-stage dementia) transferred to them. Upon his arrival, he was heavily sedated and had a number of bedsores, one of which had been there as an open wound for many weeks. Since his arrival in June, his sores have healed, he is no longer sedated or on high levels of pain medication. He is up and dressed by the team every day. The transformation in my dad's condition is a true testament to this wonderful home and the staff. Our only regret is not getting my dad here sooner."

"My wife was a resident at Cherry Blossom Manor for 2 weeks in June for respite care. The home was chosen as my son and daughter live nearby and are able to visit. My dealings with management and staff was efficient, helpful, cheerful and friendly. I was most impressed with the care and professionalism of the nurse and felt my wife was in excellent hands to cope with my wife's dementia and ensure her safety and care. I was able to go away relaxed, and my wife settled well. I am unable to comment on facilities, food and activities as I was not there - my wife is unable to comment in any meaningful way."

You all keep my husband safe and well."

"I have a room visit booked today. I arrived in time, but no one is available when the "reception" button is pressed? Fortunately, I know how to do the lateral flow test without a member of staff letting me know how. Over a number of pod visits and via talking with "our" resident my genuine opinion is there are an insufficient number of carers available at the home. "Our" resident pay something over £1,200 per week for "poor" care. Fortunately, we live nearby - is why we chose this home - so can bring small items like a box of tissues or napkins, however, surely within the context of this £1,200 per week - £3 for a box of Kleenex is pretty much insignificant? This is about the "management", not the carers themselves. No one to let me in, no one to let me out."

"Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor has become my sanctuary and given me piece of mind, from when my husband came to need their care to keep him safe, healthy and well. He has twenty four hour care and since January 2021, he has become a full time resident . All the staff have demonstrated the upmost professional, social and psychological skills when dealing with him. My husband is a younger resident with a challenging diagnosis which at times can lead to challenging situations and this has resulted in all the staff being aware of his needs and using coping strategies to help him and themselves manage his twenty four hour care. In addition to this, Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor has dealt with restrictions due to the Covid-19 crisis and also managed me who was desperate to see my husband. The staff are very understanding of daily telephone calls and always go out of their way to keep me informed of any developments or changes in his condition. I cannot express my high regard and respect for this home. Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor, you are the best!"

"As a family the pandemic brought significant change including the need for dad to be moved into nursing care due to his needs and for his safety. The care that has provided has been second to none and the attention provided by the staffing team in an ever-evolving situation due to my dads complex needs have been praised by both ourselves (me and mum) but also by his medical team. Recently we also had a lengthy CHC meeting which the care practitioner attended. Her knowledge of my dad, awareness of his care and nursing needs alongside the risks despite him only having moved in during January 2021 was in-depth and reassured us as a family that he is in very good, caring and knowledgeable hands. She has been a source of much support and comfort during these times and has absolutely advocated for my dad and supported us as a family and we are very grateful. The whole Cherry Blossom team have gone out of their way to be supportive and we would highly recommend!"

"Generally, care is good, residents are clean and well-fed. Little things are missed ensuring hair is well brushed as residents like it is hit and miss. Clothes tend to look 'thrown on' in those who are very dependent.

There is a very relaxed feeling to the care home and the staff are very friendly with nothing being too much trouble. Unfortunately, Dad passed away recently.

Forgot to give prescription protein drink until I mentioned this plus all of the above was in his notes for staff to read. Once I had a talk with the staff and manager on day 3, all was sorted. The staff are really lovely but let it down by not reading his notes. He was only here for 8 days in total."

"I enjoyed the room with a wet room but the latter was a bit small. The room was well decorated; there were more activities available, though I was unable to participate due to having a urinary infection and being bedbound for 5 days. Generally, the staff were caring and thoughtful. I had some concern when my tablets were found on the floor and table (3). Unfortunately, after returning home I have been admitted to hospital with blood clots in my lungs and heart, possibly brought on by being immobile during my infection."

The balloons are very happy standing in the living room, the flowers and cards also. The cake was delicious and so was the lunch (unexpected but lovely) and despite being diabetic, my sugar level was normal so what turned out to be a lovely day to see turned out to be a day to remember. Thank you all once again. What lovely people you are."

"We found the staff professional, approachable and compassionate at all times when it came to looking after the needs of my stepmother, making a home away from home. The entertainment and the hairdresser helped to provide a variety to make the stay a good one. The gardens are well maintained, full of flowers providing a delightful, peaceful place to sit. The place was always clean and tidy, the rooms are modern and cheerful and the meals provided were of a very high standard. The Café provided a really nice break from the room. This was always well stocked with yummy cakes and drinks."

"I came to visit my grandmother on Sunday 15/7/18. As usual, carers were very polite, my nan was well presented and seemed in a good mood. I stayed with my Nan whilst she had her lunch, which she usually enjoys very much. The head chef here is great and always very accommodating towards my nan's needs and requests. However, this Sunday my nan was very disheartened at lunchtime. The pork was very tough, which I was shocked at as it’s usually very soft, the mash was like water and when I questioned what was going on as the food is normally great, I was told a new chef had been taken on board. I hope he is receiving adequate training as to me and to my nan it didn’t seem like he knew how to cook correctly for the elderly. I really hope this is sorted as my nan is very happy at Cherry and I am also happy with the care she receives. This is the first time we have had any issue at Cherry and I hope now it’s been addressed that it won’t be a regular thing. Apart from that, thumbs up to all the staff."

"There never seems to be sufficient care staff to deal with the morning duties, like getting out of bed and washing/dressing. It is understood that the reason is frequent staff sickness of 20 - 40 per cent which may be due to lack of motivation and commitment to service. Management is never seen around the facility checking on status - but always within the office. Some care staff/nurses are very good and attentive."

"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 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."
