In terms of MA’s move, we were really pleased with the set up of the room and it’s make over. We were also very pleased to see the lengths the team had gone to take care of MA’s faith needs with her bedroom being given a Muslim theme which was encouraging and made the room look homely and beautiful. Equally we were also very pleased with the halal meat arrangement and its clear separate storage which means that we can be confident that she is eating permissible meat. Overall I appreciate how well you have kept us informed and how you continue to do so on a day to day basis. We were very worried about the move for a number of reasons but we are really pleased that MA has taken to it all really well. We are also very pleased with the future plan to help get MA back in touch with her roots such as dressing in traditional clothes, the inclusion of Quran recitation in the Sensory room as well as going into in the Asian community amongst other actions – I look forward to all these positive changes, and hope they successfully go someway in helping MA to gain calm and return to her former happy self.

I have been here for 4 weeks but I was made to feel so welcome by everyone that I feel like part of the family. Cherry Tree Lodge is the best care home I have ever been to. The residents are so happy and they are given the best care. Every single member of the staff are fantastic at what they do, and they have already supported me. I am very sad to leave and I will definitely come back to visit.
