Cedar Lodge

from Phil M (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 10 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We recently traveled from the US to visit my wife's beloved mother at Cedar Lodge and were immediately delighted with the quality of the facility, staff and warm, welcoming environment. The staff, including Lisa, made us feel so comfortable enabling us to savor the experience of spending precious time
with my mother-in-law.
When we drove up to Cedar Lodge for the first time earlier this month, our seven-year old granddaughter gazed at the facade with wonder, saying "I didn't know that great-grandma was living in a castle". Those sweet words from a child brought a smile to everyone.
Please let me express my deepest gratitude to Cedar Lodge and the staff with the knowledge that an ocean away we can be supremely confident that great-grandma is being well looked after while enjoying her lovely new home and all it has to offer.
Respectfully,
Reply from Samantha Crawley, CEO at Cedar LodgeHello Phil

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
January 21st-January 22nd
With the swift support of the Palliative Care team at the Hospital and the Customer Focus Lead at Cedar Lodge, my 90-year-old father was moved there for his final couple of days as an end of life patient.
We were so fortunate that he was in such a dignified and peaceful setting
and was treated so kindly and well by his nurses and the whole team, led by the home manager.
As his family, we were also made to feel very comfortable and cared for, being nurtured throughout the days. The staff were sensitive, but also able to bring some light relief at a time when we needed it the most.
Putting a butterfly on my father's door was a very thoughtful touch which inspired us to choose an urn with the same motif when he was cremated. The ceremony of opening the window and letting out his spirit will always stay with us and for how he was looked after throughout his stay.
We will always be grateful for everything Cedar Lodge did for my father and us.
Reply from Samantha Crawley, CEO at Cedar LodgeThank you so much for this amazing review of your experience during what was a very difficult time for you all. We really appreciate you taking the time to praise the team at the home for their compassion and care. It is so good to hear that you appreciated the use of the butterfly, this was borne of feedback from a family member some time ago and we have had feedback from family members how special it is, we are glad too that this inspired your choice of motif on the urn you chose. We will ensure this beautiful review is shared with the team. Thank you S

from Alex W (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved into Cedar Lodge in Sept 2025 when he was longer able to live alone.
I can not express how happy we were with the care provided there. It is a beautiful facility, the nearest thing you can get to a hotel. The staff were all amazing. Always available to talk to if you had any concerns.
My father had advanced dementia and towards the end of his life he didn't want to eat. The staff had a special way of encouraging him to take "one more bite" The cook would also specially prepare something special to try and encourage him to eat. The meals were excellent, restaurant worthy, as was the dining room.
My dads room was always clean and we were able to add small pieces of furniture from home to make it more personal.
As visitors, we were made so welcome, always being asked if we needed anything.
When my dad passed away, the staff were wonderful, making it so much easier for us.
I thoroughly recommend Cedar Lodge for taking care of your loved one.
Reply from Julia Berry, Customer Focus Lead at Cedar LodgeHello Alex

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review.
We just adored your Father and his smile. I remember on his first day your brother was worried about him settling in, he sat next to a lady, they instantly started smiling, holding hands and became great friends which was so special to us all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved to Cedar Lodge when he was no longer able to manage with care at home. The level of care and kindness from all the staff was outstanding. He was encouraged to participate where he could and staff spent lots of time getting to know him and it always felt like a very caring and friendly
environment.
Sadly his health deteriorated after a few months but his care was adapted to his needs and everything possible was done proactively to keep him comfortable and the last few months of his life were as comfortable as we could have wished for. It was always a pleasure to visit dad at Cedars in such a nice modern and clean environment with lovely staff which I will miss.
Reply from Julia Berry, Customer Focus Lead at Cedar LodgeHello Andy
Thank you for your beautiful review. We absolutely adored your Father living with us, he had such a brilliant sense of humour and we loved seeing him smile. We miss you too please pop down for a coffee when you are free.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister was in palliative care at Cedar Lodge. It is completely rennovated, and as such, provides a lovely place for those in care. The garden room and all other spaces are clean, bright and well-maintanined for all to enjoy. Snacks, tea and coffee are readily available for visitors. The food is nutrious,
and well prepared. Excellent cakes are baked fresh each day, adding to the home-like appeal.
The staff at Cedar Lodge are very good, providing not just medical care, but also care for the souls in their charge. They go out of their way to give individualized attention and the difference is evident.
With appreciation.

Cedar Lodge is a special place and we instantly knew that this was the best place for our dad.
He has not been an 'easy' resident but has always been treated with respect and kindness.
Many staff go above and beyond their job specification and you genuinely feel that they truly care for dad.
Communication
to the family from the staff is excellent and any minor issues are dealt with quickly.
It is a very lovely place.

My father spent 10 days of respite care at Cedar Lodge over the Christmas period - he received excellent care throughout his stay and was very happy staying there. The staff were all extremely kind and caring towards my father and they all work so hard. Cedar Lodge is a very comfortable and well designed
care home which offers many up-to-date facilities. The garden room is a wonderful place for the residents to relax and enjoy the entertainment and planned activities. Cedar Lodge is located in the lovely village of Whitchurch and is in a quiet lane not far from Pangbourne.

My mother spent the last six weeks of her life at Cedar Lodge and it was a comfort to know she was well cared for and very comfortable during a very difficult time for her and her family. The staff all went out of their way to tailor to her individual needs. She had a lovely room with a peaceful view
of the beautiful garden and for someone who has always loved her garden and the outdoors this provided a literal window to the outside world. The visitors kitchen provided a relaxing space, offering complimentary refreshments, which was very welcome, particularly if arriving stressed straight from work. The staff were all extremely kind and hard working and always tried to accommodate any requests, including sourcing and making her green jelly which she had developed a penchant for. The facilities are very clean and brand new with a high spec finish. I am glad my mother had such a peaceful environment to spend her last chapter in and am forever grateful for the care she received.

Cedar Lodge is an exceptional care home compared to many others I visited before choosing Cedar Lodge. Food excellent, care excellent, management excellent, facilities excellent. A lovely home with a good team of conscientious, happy people which has made my father very happy.

Thank you for your review.
He has had a busy week being an amazing Santa, Judging mince pies, interviewing new care companions and meeting people moving in !
There was a very nervous lady visiting this week and he took her hand and said " I know its frightening but this is where your happiness begins again"
Your Father is such a tremendous part of Cedar Lodge and we all absolutely adore him.

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.

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.

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.
