General Description

A former Victorian rectory, Cedar House Nursing Home lies at the heart of the village of Yelverton close to St Mary’s Church. Although the current building dates from the 1800’s, records show that property existed here as far back as the 11th century when monks used it as a stopping-off point en route from Canterbury.

The lovely half-acre garden with its beautiful trees is a particular feature. Boasting a summerhouse, gazebo and patio area, it is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy fine weather.

Small and friendly with exceptionally high standards of care sums up Cedar House. The main building has been sympathetically extended, converted and decorated to reflect its Victorian heritage. At the same time, along with the purpose-built annex, the property is equipped with every modern facility to ensure the best in comfort and care.

Communal accommodation includes one quiet room, one sitting room plus a comfortable seating area in entrance hall. The dining room and conservatory overlook the extensive gardens to the rear of the house. The home is well adapted for people with mobility problems with ramps, wide doorways, passenger and a wheelchair lift. Other specialist equipment includes parker baths, hoists and a shower room accessible to wheelchair users.

There are 21 individually decorated rooms, two of which are premium rooms, and two double companion rooms, the majority en suite. Furnished to a high standard, all residents’ rooms are equipped with nurse call systems and enjoy attractive views of the gardens, grounds or church

In the warm and homely atmosphere of Cedar House, we focus firmly on catering for residents’ individual needs. “Person-centred care” is at the forefront of our care planning. Our philosophy is to ensure that residents maximise their quality of life with the provision of a perfectly tailored care programme.

We also have a visiting GP, district nurse, dentist, chiropodist, optician and occupational therapist. Other visiting healthcare practitioners are welcome to call at the home if a resident has been referred to them, or wishes to pay privately. Our local GP’s surgery is two miles away in Poringland and the nearest hospital is the Norfolk & Norwich, seven miles away.

If you are looking for a quality assured care home for yourself, a friend or family member, please contact our home manager Sharon Hart for further information or to arrange a viewing.
