Cherry Trees Resource Centre

A list of our services:

• All our carers are fully trained in Dementia care and provide our residents with 24-hour support
• We are fully compliant with the Care Quality Commission (CQC) 
• We have also recently achieved a Level 5 through the Nottingham City Council Quality Monitoring Team

We work with various health professionals to offer the best care for our residents. We maintain close contact with the Dementia Care Team, Outreach Team and Falls Prevention Team, Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, GPs and various other health professionals.

Residents are assigned a key worker during their stay; they will work closely with them to carry out an assessment of their needs. We aim to support our residents to work towards their goals and to help them maintain their independence.

We provide person-centred support tailored to meet each resident's individual needs. Having this at the heart of our centre enables us to offer diverse activities that cater to our residents' varying and ever-changing needs.

The team are committed to finding new and exciting ways to enable residents to lead entire and active lives whilst supporting them to retain their independence.

We also offer a support group for families and carers and work closely with outside agencies such as the Alzheimer's Society.

• En suite facilities - Our friendly home offers all residents their private single room for comfort and convenience. We want to make our residents stay as comfortable as possible so home comforts, including furniture can be brought in.
