Cedar Lodge

My mother has been a resident of Cedar Lodge for a few years now and though I have watched the heartbreaking effects of dementia unfold over this time, the staff at Cedar Lodge have provided my mum with the utmost care and love every single day. As an expatriate living overseas, there is no better reassurance for me that my mum lives in such a caring and safe environment for someone with such a devastating disease. I have nothing but praise for the team there and am so thankful for the welfare they provide.

Thank you!

Being here staff accepted me for me. They never judge. Their support is amazing. They don't judge you about your past. They go on how things are now. They are very easy to approach. They listen. They help. If you don't want to talk straight away they give you your space and they are ready to talk when you are. They always knock before entering your room, even if its open. Being here is the best because you can grow as a person.

The care of staff went beyond and above what was expected of them. The support for my dad and family was fantastic. Especially over the final fortnight before my father passed away. We will always be very grateful.

My mother has been in this care home for eight years. It is well managed and the staff are always very caring.

Would definitely recommend Cedar Lodge to friends and family.

Well done all of you.

Great care, always very friendly and offers a wide variety of activities.

They do their utmost to move clients forward to live independently. This is done in a very patient, understanding way over time. Some people need more time than others. There is no time limit to the staff's kindness and support.

It also provides a good standard of cleanliness and my friend always looks forward to mealtimes! The residents are given regular outings and in-home entertainment is regularly provided. Very good.

My mother lived for nearly three years in Cedar Lodge. At all times she was treated with great respect and dignity. The management of the care home and their end of life care are second to none. Staff kept me constantly informed of any concerns. They were unfailingly welcoming when I visited. When my mother reached the end of her life the home gave me accommodation and meals so I was able to be with my mother throughout the final two weeks. I cannot praise them highly enough. I visited 17 care homes before choosing this one and I have never regretted my decision. They even invited us to use the home for her funeral which we gratefully accepted.

This care home is faultless. The care is superb. I cannot praise the manager and his staff enough.

Over recent days whilst my friend was dying, the staff showed great kindness and consideration to me and real love towards my friend, making sure she was never left alone and ensuring her comfort and well being to the very best of their ability, reading to her and hoping she will hear and feel comfortable.

Very good personal care during night and day. Plenty of staff on hand. Well managed and organised, with ample recreational activities. An ideal size - large enough to be interesting and varied but not cavernous and overlarge. I was very happy in the knowledge that my brother was cared for personally with staff that took an interest. I visited regularly so can confidently say that this is a care home where the residents are valued. Friendly staff and nice outside area.

My thanks to all staff who have given my mother such loving care over the last 7 years of her life, right to the end of her life. Cedar Lodge provides a comfortable home with lots of activities for those who want them, and my mother who had dementia was happy there. All the staff care for the residents and work as a great team always helpful and friendly, I will miss them as well as my mother.

I would like to thank all the team at Cedar Lodge for the wonderful care they gave my Mum for the 5 years she was with them. The love, kindness and support they gave her was fantastic and the welcome I always received when I visited Mum. I could not have wished for a better Care Home for my Mum.

Friendly and caring staff. A very pleasant home with excellent care.

The home has a happy atmosphere and is spotlessly clean. It's a lovely house with interesting decorations. Resident are free to roam over most of the house, while being kept safe and secure inside the house. There are several lounges to sit in. It's like being part of a big family. Although the staff have different roles, they all work together and treat both residents and visitors with kindness, patience, courtesy and respect. Visitors are allowed at any time and are invited to join the residents for meals and activities. It's a homely place and I felt blessed to be a part of the family while my father stayed there and even after he died.

My stepmother has been a resident at Cedar Lodge for 4 years. She has always been treated in a kindly dignified way. Staff have treated her like family. Her room is lovely and its always clean and tidy. The meals are 5 star. The activities plenty and imaginative. Excellent value for money. Manager kind and caring and always have time for you if any questions or worries. Very satisfied.

If I am worried they will listen, they have regular resident/relative meetings where we are invited to attend, along with the manager and other staff to discuss all aspects of how the home is run and how our loved ones are cared for. Most importantly, I feel mum is safe, happy and cared for - more than I hoped for. I feel very lucky to have found Cedar Lodge for her.
