Activities at Cherry Blossom Manor are delivered using the whole home approach, where there is never a dull moment. Our Activities team take great care to make sure that our residents, resident’s families and staff’s physical, mental, and social well-being are taken into account. Whether it is a group session or a personal-centred activity you can be certain it is meeting a need.
We have our regular activities such as Scrabble Club, Bingo, Zumba, Gardening Club, Movie Time, family support meetings, Residents meetings and many more. We are also known for our theme days where the whole home likes to dress up. We have even been known in the past to go for a drive in the minibus in our costumes!

Life at Cherry Blossom Manor Care Home
Barchester Care Awards - We're Winners!
The much-anticipated Chef of the Year award presented by Head of Hospitality – Davesh Kumar. Providing a choice of delicious, nutritious and beautifully presented meals is hard enough, but it’s even harder when you have to tailor your menus to meet residents’ / patients’ modified diets.
The decision was really difficult with the standard so high, the chefs in this category had to compete in a heated cook-off, and the winner of Chef of the Year 2023 is Melliel Angel Kho from Cherry Blossom Manor Care Home. Congratulations!
Barchester Care Awards 2023 - Divisional Winner!
We're so happy to announce that Cristina Dorobantu has been crowned Dementia Care Champion and Angel Kho has been crowned Divisional Chef of The Year for the South Division in the Barchester Care Awards 2023 and are both through to the national round of judging.
The Barchester Care Awards celebrate the staff who go the extra mile for the benefit of the 13,000 residents living in Barchester’s 252 care homes and private hospitals across the country. Categories range from ‘Registered Nurse of the Year’ and ‘Carer of the Year’ to ‘Dementia Care Champion’ and ‘Activities Coordinator of the Year’.
Book Club Corner
Across our services, our residents had a lovely time joining Mark Piesing for an exciting virtual event to discuss his book ‘N-4 Down: The Hunt for The Arctic Airship Italia’.
Our residents were thrilled to find out more about the book and the fascinating story of the world-famous exploring airship Italia, returning from the North Pole on May 24, 1928. The airship was struck by a terrible storm and crashed somewhere over the Arctic ice, triggering the largest polar rescue mission in history.
The virtual book club experience was truly enjoyed by all.

Baking is Love, made edible.
The Great British Bake Off might be over for another year but try telling that to our staff and residents at Barchester’s Cherry Blossom Manor care home, in Bramley, who have been baking up a storm.
Cherry Blossom Manor’s residents and staff have been busy creating Christmas Cupcakes to gift to the local community to say thanks for all their support during 2022. Staff have delivered batches of freshly baked cakes to their Local Community Coffee Morning Group which is held at the Pavilion every Wednesday Morning.
