The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 11 December 2024. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

This responsive assessment was carried out to check if the service had made improvements since our last inspection. We carried out a site visit to the care home as part of the assessment. This assessment was carried out by one Assessor and two Inspectors. Assessment activity started on 16 September 2024 and ended on 25 October 2024. We carried out the site visit on 18 September 2024. We looked at 22 quality statements as part of this assessment. Cherry Tree is a residential care home providing accommodation with personal care for up to 7 people living with a learning disability. At the time of this assessment, 6 people were living at the service. People living in the home have their own bedrooms and there are shared communal spaces, including lounges, a kitchen, and a garden area. We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ is the guidance CQC follows to make assessments and judgements about services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it.
