Reviews for Cherry Blossom Manor Care Home

Playing for residents at Cherry Blossom every month or two, I see how wonderfully attentive the staff are. Encourage dancing and singing, they always bring as many residents into the concert area as possible to enjoy the live music.

I had the pleasure of visiting Cherry Blossom Manor yesterday for the first time, and what a wonderful home it is. The manager & staff team were extremely accommodating & their hospitality was very much appreciated. I was fortunate to have lunch whilst I was there, and I was treated to some delicious freshly baked cakes. The home was very well maintained inside & out & residents & family members met spoke highly of the care & kindness they were shown. I hope I have an opportunity to return as it really was a lovely day that I very much enjoyed. Thank you!

"My father spent 14 months at Cherry Blossom Manor before passing peacefully away. The home created a safe environment with care, compassion and expertise particularly with regards to dementia.This helped dad but also gave us, as a family, the understanding that dad was being well cared for."

"Excellent help and assistance in facilitating our 23 wedding anniversary. The cake was outstanding and enjoyed by grandchildren and other family members. The duty manager and staff were excellent and made the afternoon a memorable occasion in particular the care taken in my wife comfort and appearance in addition to the room decorations. My wife particularly enjoyed the excellent music & singing events."

"It has been nearly a year since my husband has been at Cherry Blossom Manor. I visit regularly each week and it is so evident that the home is a warm, welcoming and caring environment for residents and families alike. Staff are so kind and caring and always so cheerful although at times I know that it's so difficult for them. I would highly recommend Cherry Blossom Manor."

"I couldn't wish for a better care home for my mum who is suffering from late stage dementia. The rooms, food and care team are utterly outstanding. As are the activities and the grounds. So very very happy!"

"My mother stayed for 10 nights respite care. She and I were extremely pleased with the care and attention she received from every member of staff and, if she needed similar care in the future, she would not hesitate to return to Cherry Blossom."

"My Grandmother, resident on Memory Lane. The moment I first visited her here, I was so impressed with the lovely building and surroundings. Felt like a hotel, not a care home! All the staff are polite, friendly and helpful. Always smiling and happy to help. The atmosphere here is lovely and warm, activity's always happening ranging from bingo to a pianist and a therapy dog. The nursing team are fabulous, even giving me first aid when I hit my head. Going above and beyond, calling a few days later to see how I am. They give you time and listen to us whilst going through a difficult diagnosis. The care staff are also brilliant, they are very happy and treat the residents with respect. I can see why Cherry Blossom wins numerous awards and features regularly in the local paper. Thank you all Cherry Bloosom you are all super stars. Thank you for keeping our loved family member safe and well looked after."

"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."

"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."

"We needed to identify respite care for my father at very short notice. Cherry Blossom was very accommodating and welcoming which made my father's move to a nursing home environment easy and he was immediately made to feel comfortable and safe which was a great comfort to the family."

"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."

"It was a tough decision to move my mum into a care home. But, the care, support and kindness that mum has received since arriving shows us it was the right decision. 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. The staff communicate with the family well. Thank you to all the staff for all you do and for always being so cheerful and positive."

"Since my husband was transferred from another home into Cherry Blossom his condition is slowly improving. His weight had plummeted as he had not been eating properly or dinging. He is now beginning to gain weight and is more relaxed and much happier. I am so relieved that he is now being well looked after and in the safe hands of good dedicated staff."

"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"

"Right from the beginning enquiry, I was very impressed with the advice and help provided. The care provided to my parents was exceptional, especially when my father passed away during his respite care. The emotional support and kindness shown to my mother in the week after was exceptional. I cannot praise everyone enough."

"I can't recommend Cherry Blossom Manor highly enough. They cared for Mum for 10 days respite and she received the best care and looked so well when I picked her up. I wouldn't hesitate to ask them to look after her again. Thank you all so much."

"My father was a resident for three weeks at Cherry Blossom on a respite basis. The home is very clean and the staff are very pleasant. We were very happy with the standard of care provided and the standard of the home. We would recommend the home. It is expensive which may affect decisions for any future stays."

"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"

"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."

"Outstanding care provided by all the staff. Staff have unique insight into my husband's condition and they are superb advocates for him, especially when assessments are needed. All the staff provide 24-hour care and supervision for him. He is now safe and I have peace of mind. At home, I was worried he would have a catastrophic accident. You all keep my husband safe and well."

"During the lockdown, it was easy to book a pm telephone call to my friend, which reassured us both. later, in good weather, this home had a beautiful garden for us to book a distance meeting. I now look forward to the activities coordinator to write 'dictated shopping' from my friend, in the stamped, addressed envelope I left today."

"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. My own relative has complained regularly over 4 years that night staff are rough in their handling (no hint of maliciousness) oral care is poor. The staff deserve a monetary bonus for containing the one case of Covid-19 and preventing any external infection entering 1st class."

He is always greeted in a friendly manner and treated with respect although he is only there for short periods the staff make every effort to include him in activities and are sensitive to his needs and make every effort with care and communication as he has Aphasia."

"From the moment of having POA of my nan, I have complete trust in Cherry Blossom and all the staff. The communication is fantastic. My nan loves her environment and has always spoken highly of her home and second family. Although my nan's needs have changed, I know she is still well looked after, communication via phone, email, Zoom and post continues to reassure me and photos show me that, even in these difficult Covid times, nothing changes."

"My mum had the privilege of being at Barchester Cherry Blossom Manor for about five months. Her care was excellent and the staff couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful and caring. It is a beautiful place, more like a five-star hotel. Thank you to all the staff for making Mum's time with you a very happy one! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cherry Blossom Manor to anyone. Thank you again for all your kindness."

"Since December 2020 when my father was first admitted here, I have been utterly amazed at the patience of all the staff caring for Dad. They are all so friendly and very caring and excellent at their job. The food and facilities are very good too. I think Dad is getting the best possible care anyone could wish for. Dementia is particularly difficult to deal with and the whole family is very grateful to you."
