from J P (Friend of Resident) published on 5 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

This is one of the best care homes I've ever been to and the staff are so knowledgeable, professional and kind.
The activities are based around all the residents and encourages everyone to participate, where possible.
The staff work well together as a team and the important part is they actually care,

rather than work as carers.
You can have care homes which looks like hotels and others that resemble a bed and breakfast. But it's the staff inside that make it a home.
Cedar Lodge has the look of a hotel and the care of a lovely home.
Well done to all the staff for making the difference.

Overall Experience

It's early days for my mother at Cedar Lodge. So far, our experience has been positive, with staff doing everything possible help my mother settle in. The facilities at the home are exceptional and staff are always helpful and willing to take individual requests into account. Carers are attentive and

responsive. As a new home, everything is immaculately clean and well cared for. For those who wish, there are plenty of activities and opportunities to meet other people. At the same time, no one is forced to join in with these and those who prefer more calm and peace will certainly find it here.

Reply from Julia Berry, Customer Focus Lead at Cedar LodgeHello David

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review. The team have really enjoyed getting to know your Mother over the last week and she has already settled in so well. She especially enjoys our puppy Therapy sessions which really makes her smile.

Cedar Lodge
from Caroline M (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My mum stayed at Cedar Lodge for 2 weeks in August 2025, she loved the experience and was very happy. The staff at the home helped me manage transitioning my mum into her first respite care by supporting me taking mum for several visits for coffees or lunch at the home. Each time she went she was asking

to go back as we were always made to feel so welcome. This really helped mum to prepare for her respite care and settle in without any issues.
The staff are so lovely and caring at the home. Susy does a great job of providing activities throughout the week for the residents so there is always something entertaining and interesting to get involved in.
The home is beautifully presented and the bedrooms and lovely and comfortable.
I will definitely be taking mum back for more respite care in the future.

Reply from Julia Berry, Customer Focus Lead at Cedar LodgeHello Caroline

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review. The team had such fun with your Mother in the Summer picking from the fruit trees and making apple pie.

We hope to see you both soon.

The Oaks
from Richard B (Son of Resident) published on 6 November 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My mum moved to The Oaks in May 2025, moving from another care home which couldn't address her dementia needs. From day one The Oaks has been a significant step up for mum in terms of the care that she receives from both nurses and carers. Due to mum's dementia she can be a challenging resident, but

the nurses and carers seem to have got her 'sussed' and know how to make her time at The Oaks as good as they can. I would recommend The Oaks to anyone seeking a caring and professional home for their relative.

Reply from Samantha Crawley, CEO at The OaksThank you ever so much for this wonderful review. The team will be very happy to read this and to know the impact they are having on you and your Mam's life. Supporting people living with dementia to live well is key to our ethos and we are delighted to see that your experience has been so positive. Many thanks S

Since transferring Ivy over to Acer Lodge, the change in her has been quite remarkable. She is now more aware and alert, she's recognising family members, and her demeanor is one of happiness and contentment. All this is down to the lovely, dedicated staff at Acer Lodge, whose professionalism is outstanding.

This care home is a beacon of what care for the elderly should be.

Mum moved into The Oaks 4 weeks ago, after being in 3 previous institutions.
I can't believe the difference in her since she moved in. She still has her challenges, but she says she couldn't have found a better place to be. She says how kind the staff are, and they treat her like an adult human.

Reply from Amie Archer, Customer Focus Lead at The OaksThank you for trusting us with your loved one's care. It's wonderful to know that you and your family feel supported and reassured - that's exactly what we strive for every day.

It takes a dedicated team to make a home excellent and Acer Lodge has that. Every single member of staff at some point in the day spends one to one quality time with one person who lives there. My dad is non verbal so he speaks with his face, and all the staff now read his face. The home is a lovely

place with lots of fun, laughter and love.

Review of
The Oaks
from Libby G (Goddaughter of Resident) published on 27 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Overall, I can honestly say that I wouldn't want my Godmother to be anywhere else; The staff are welcoming, friendly, humorous and attentive with some staff highly commendable.

The patients are encouraged to socialise and to join in the activities, which are generally tailored to dementia patients,

(though I have enjoyed a few myself!)

The rooms are spacious and can be made homely with personal items. Furniture can be moved for the residents' safety and personal needs. My only grievance is that the room often smells unpleasant (urine), and I have occasionally had to clean the food tray.

The food is usually of a high standard, with some yummy desserts and often alternatives offered.

When there is a full quota of staff, things run well, but there have been occasions where carers have been delayed due to shortages.

Whenever I have raised an issue, it has been dealt with in a timely and efficient manner.

Inspite of the odd niggles, I would highly recommend The Oaks.

Reply from Amie Archer, Customer Focus Lead at The OaksThank you for your feedback, we always appreciate any feedback received, as it allows us to know what we are doing well and how things can be better! We love that you feel so pleased for your Godmother to be living with us, and we have enjoyed having her here at The Oaks, too. Thank you again for your positive review.

from Maureen G (Wife of Resident) published on 23 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Denis was brought to Acer Lodge after 3 weeks in hospital, he was welcomed in by the staff. He hasn't been an easy resident, suffering from Alzheimer's he thinks he is in his own home as he can go into other rooms. The carers are so kind to him, to us, well looked after, kept clean and tidy. Can't praise

the staff enough. Our only problem is loss of property and clothes, even though they are all named, I've had to buy new glasses and a watch.

Reply from Samantha Crawley, CEO at Acer LodgeWhat a beautiful testament to the team at Acer Lodge. Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review. Our home manager Karen will reach out to you regarding the items and to discuss a plan moving forward. Thank you again S
