  • Care Homes Owned by Forest Healthcare
Forest Healthcare's vision is to transform the perception and experience of care from something driven out of necessity to something that represents a positive choice for improved quality of life.

Forest Healthcare provides specialist residential, nursing and dementia care for over 650 residents across South East England. Since opening their first home in 1994 they have grown and now employ over 1000 highly skilled workers whose primary role is to provide clients and families with the very best person-centred care available.

In addition to providing high quality 24-hour residential nursing care for elderly persons aged 65 to 100 years and over, they offer respite, postoperative care and crisis intervention services. Several of their facilities cater to younger clients aged 18 and above, including those suffering from neurological and spinal conditions. Other facilities offer more specialist care for conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, MS, brain injuries, stroke rehabilitation and challenging behaviour.

As a group, Forest Healthcare runs 13 individual care centres in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, London and Norfolk. Their Centre Managers are all vastly experienced and have proven track records in the care industry. They are supported by a dedicated Operational Care Team, many of whom were former Centre Managers themselves.

Their primary objective is to improve the quality of life of the people they care for. They seek to promote independence, choice and dignity of the individual and believe that people must be safe and secure at all times, whilst providing a relaxed and stimulating environment that motivates them to live a full and happy life.

The Poplars Care Centre

from L R (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 April 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

This is the 1st encounter of a care home I have had so I was not sure what to expect. It became clear from early on that the staff make the home. There has been a low turnover of the care flow which is wonderful. The continuity for both my mother who has dementia and for me and my family cannot be underestimated
. The home has a strong leadership flow and continue to make improvements.

Warren Lodge

from Clare B (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 April 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The staff at Warren Lodge were notable from the very first phone call; the time they gave us, their listening skills, their understanding and knowledge as well as their kind, supportive nature.
We were looking for residential care for my mum (Parkinson's) and my dad (Alzheimer's). The two members
of staff we met the most were outstanding in their care of us as a family. They were gentle with mum and dad (as were everyone) answered all of our questions, had thoughtful advice and showed kindness throughout.
We visited several times and were warmly welcomed every time. We visited many care homes but Warren Lodge shone out for us. We saw so much good practice and they had lovely ways to make it feel like a big family home, the room available was perfect for them.
Mum and dad were due to move this April but dad died unexpectedly. During this time the staff continued to be kind, supportive and helpful, they really go the extra mile. As a family we can't thank them enough.

I visited the home earlier this week. As always I was impressed with the vibrant feel on arrival.
All the staff seem very welcoming and dedicated to the most demanding of jobs.
Huge credit should go to the management team as I would think motivational skills are extremely important to achieve the
environment that exists within the home.
Keep up the great work !

Bridgeside Lodge Care Centre

from A H (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 April 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My dad recently moved into Bridgeside Lodge after a tough few months, if not years, of an Alzheimers diagnosis, long hospitalisation with an infection and then a big move across the country. The comfort, security, belief and happiness we get from his care at Bridgeside is incomparable. He is treated
with respect and love, and as result has settled in quickly and happily. We (his family and friends) are also treated and looked after so well. We feel personally we consoled and supported with every interaction. Could not be happier.

Having been in at least three other care homes, I feel that I can make a valid comparison of Bridgeside Lodge to what else is available in the market. Bridgeside Lodge is hands-down the best home that I have experienced , the staff are professional and kind. They are also very caring and look after
all of my medical/comfort needs really really well.
The management of Bridgeside Lodge under the manager deserves special mention as she is a real team leader and instills a great sense of teamwork and family into the staff

I am really pleased with the care home, they have gone above and beyond to settle mum in. Everyone is always happy and helpful. I feel mum is in good hands, kept clean and well fed. I am kept up to date with any concerns. There is plenty of stimulation and entertainment and all her medical needs taken
care of. The home has helped us to get a diagnosis for mum's dementia too.

We feel fortunate to have chosen Cedars as home for our mother. We have peace of mind that she is well cared for in a lovely environment with caring staff who appreciate her needs. We look forward to visiting, without the need for appointments, in the knowledge we will find mum enjoying her surroundings,
her room, the garden, the dining room or the lounge with staff practicing client-centred care.

Hassingham House Care Centre

from Jacqueline B (Wife of Resident) published on 8 April 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My husband was placed in Hassingham for end of life care. Whilst this situation is not a good one for either resident or relatives, our family felt that he was given the utmost care and respect until his final moments. When he could eat, he was surprised by the excellent menu on offer. Even the young
carers seem to have been given excellent training, the nursing staff were fully conversant with everything that could be done to ease any pain and is was especially struck by the fact that all of the staff took time to speak with the family when we were struggling. I only gave the rooms a 4* rating because even though they are quite spacious, they could probably do with a little upgrade and my husband could not use and activities because of his poor health. However, I would always prioritise excellent care over a slightly dated room so would recommend to anyone needing such a service.

They have recently hired a chef who is amazing, & a new hairdresser. The activities are very good & important for the residents.
The carers & nurses are very easy

The management has recently been replaced and things seem to be working out well there too.

My husband has been a resident at The Cedars Care Centre for some three-and-a-half years. During this time he has been cared for extremely well. Any concerns I may have are always thoroughly addressed. Management, nurses and carers and activities personnel are kind, caring, thoughtful and considerate
not just for my husband but also for me, his wife. They find the time to listen, be compassionate, care for relatives and be very supportive. I would have no hesitation in recommending The Cedars Court Care Centre.
