Brief description

Cherry Trees Care Home is situated approximately half a mile from Alcester town centre along the main road through Oversley Green. Barchester Healthcare Ltd owns the home. The area is very rural with infrequent public transport and the nearest shops are half a mile away.

The care home can accommodate up to 81 people. The registration of the care home includes older people, older people with dementia and younger people with physical disabilities. The home is divided into dedicated living units for each client group.

The home's decor, furniture and furnishings are generally of a high standard, however some areas are beginning to show signs of wear and tear. The accommodation is provided on two floors with access to these via a passenger lift or stairs. It must be noted that in order to move between the two floors of the physical disability unit, staff must either use the lift, the stairs in the dementia unit of the home or go outside as there are no stairs connecting the two floors within the unit itself. All of the accommodation is single room with en suite facilities.

The gardens are well maintained, being accessible to all of the current residents. There are a number of seating areas, which are well used in good weather. There is a vehicle at the home to transport the residents on trips and for appointments. Information about the home is given to prospective residents and their families via the `Statement of Purpose' and other information brochures. Information about the fees is not included in the Service User Guide but is available on request to the manager.

Fees should be checked at the time of deciding to use this service as the range of fees differ on each of the three units. Additional charges are made for hairdressing, chiropody, toiletries and sundries such as newspapers.

This brief description is an overview of the service and may have been updated since the latest inspection report was published.
