Cedarwood House Care Home

Cedarwood House has been amazing. My grandfather was so well looked after by the entire team, and we are incredibly grateful for the care and support they provided.

Communication was always excellent. The staff kept me informed, let me know whenever he needed anything, and were always available to help. My grandfather wasn't always easy, but the team did everything they could to support him. They treated him with dignity, respected his wishes, and always showed him kindness and compassion.

Sadly, we lost my grandfather earlier this week. During such a difficult time, the team were unbelievably supportive and made the whole process as comforting and straightforward as possible.

Thank you all so much. It brings us great comfort knowing my grandfather spent his final months surrounded by such caring, dedicated and wonderful people. I will always be grateful for all you have done the past 6 months.

I'd like to give extra praise to Mandy and Anu , who always find time to talk to me about mum and really do their utmost to help her and me x

My father has been a resident for four years this October. In that time my dad has been extremely well looked after by the staff which are amazing - incredibly kind and patient. The food is always good and the kitchen staff very accommodating. My dad's room over looks the open countryside, this was a big plus for me as dad loves the countryside and he loves watching the birds and the horses in the next field. The home often organises little get-together's for residents and their families to enjoy, which are great fun.

My mother was a resident at Cedarwood from March 2023 until her death this week. Mum had dementia and the staff at Cedarwood have been exemplary throughout in caring for mum during her stay and right up until her passing.

I would like to say a massive thank you to the manager and her team for their continuing care for my mum. She hadn't been well for a few weeks and was in bed for awhile. The staff were so loving and helpful, really caring for mum and encouraging her to eat and get better. It was amazing that with their understanding and dedication, mum started walking again with assistance and is back in the lounge, eating, drinking and enjoying life again. The manager was very supportive when I had my concerns, thank you to all the lovely team.

This inclusive attitude was extended to me as they are all aware of how I tend to worry about my husband. No matter how many times I called for updates they were always sympathetic and supportive Even calling to check on me. I cannot thank everyone enough and am so grateful that I found such a wonderful home for my husband. He looks at everyone as his special friend.

My mum recently moved to Cedarwood House, in June, and I'm so pleased with the way the carers have been looking after her. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are all so sympathetic, and caring and treat all the residents with the utmost dignity. The manager and her team are all lovely and the communication has been excellent. I've even been offered food and drinks when I visit. Cedarwood House care home is in a lovely countryside location, it feels like a normal home and I would thoroughly recommend it to anybody who's looking for great, friendly care for their loved ones. Thank you very much, I'm not sure what we would have done without you.

Dad was put into Cedarwood because he lost mobility and was no longer able to be at home with us. The staff and manager were totally amazing to both Dad and his family during Dad’s time at the home. Despite him being unable to move much he still managed to join in on activities with staff and they gave him an awesome birthday!

My husband has been in Cedarwood since February and I couldn’t be happier with the way he is being looked after. The most important thing about a care home is the care, and here it is excellent. The lovely staff is kind, professional, dedicated and so hard-working, and it is such a relief to know that my precious husband is in safe hands. Cosy, homely Cedarwood is ideal for him, in the countryside he has always known, and with people who understand his needs. Thank you so much for saving us both.

The staff are always cheerful and kind. It remains a comfort and relief to me that he is being looked after so well and I am grateful to you all.

My husband has resided in Cedarwood for the past 14 months. My respect and admiration for the entire team continue to increase and impress me. Recently my husband suffered from a nasty Urinary tract infection (UTI). He had not been his usual self so the entire team went into immediate action. It was a Saturday morning but a duty doctor provided telephone assistance. While together two of the girls took temperature, pulse and blood pressure. Antibiotics were necessary, a team member on their day off dropped everything, drove to the chemist, collected the tablets and within less than an hour he had his first dose. The support which they gave me was just wonderful. Without their combined help he would not be recovering so quickly.

Excellent care given despite staff shortages at times. Such caring staff from manager down. The building /parking has limitations but this does not affect the care given. I am very happy for my father to be a resident here.

The staff do a very difficult job, very well, the care home is generally kept very clean and tidy and all the residents appear happy. Communications are maintained very professionally and health issues are taken seriously. Whenever I visit, I'm made to feel welcome. I am confident that my mother is being as well looked after as I could hope.

My husband has now been in the care of Cedarwood for twelve months and I have been thrilled with the care he has received in that time. It has certainly proved to me that small is best. I would recommend it to anyone looking for care for someone with dementia.

A well-managed, caring home. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The home is clean. I feel confident my loved one is well looked after. The food generally looks homemade and tasty. It is a shame the staff are made to complete so much paperwork although this is not the fault of the home.

I cannot thank the manager and her team enough for helping us take my father into Cedarwood. We were all so upset when we had to make this move, but this team have always been there for us with a smile and and a helping hand. They are kind and knowledgeable and nothing is too much for them, which helps give us peace. I would not want him to be anywhere else. The building is a little tired, but that's part of its charm. It is set down a quiet no through road and looks out over countryside, which is so important to my dad, having spent most of his life outside. Thank you to the manager, don't change a thing, you're brilliant.

Thank you for looking after my father-in-law so well. He is always positive about things when we visit him and we see him enjoying and appreciating the care and attention he is given every day by the staff and others at Cedarwood. We very much appreciate what you all do for him. Thank you!

Since my grandmother has been living in Cedarwood House Care Home, I have noticed a great improvement in her well-being, from her wanting to join in activities, eating better, starting to form friendships with the other residents and staff, my grandmother seems happy and content in her new home. Thank you Cedarwood for making this hard decision of having to put family members you care about into care, the right one for all the family, and especially my grandmother who now smiles again.

From moving my grandmother into Cedarwood House Care Home, the staff have been extremely helpful in settling my grandmother in. I have found that she has improved in herself by wanting to eat in the dining room and mixing with the other residents. The manager has gone beyond her job role to make sure that everything went as smoothly as possible which can be a very difficult and stressful time for family members, so thank you to the Cedarwood team.

My mother came in for nine days of respite care while we went on holiday. She was happy and said all the care staff were very kind and was always there to help her. I found the staff very friendly and accommodating. I would be happy for her to stay at Cedarwood House Care Home in the future.
