My Mother, was at the Cedars Care Home Purton for just over 2 years. During this time,she thoroughly enjoyed being there. All the staff were friendly and considerate towards her, and she formed a special bond with some of them. There was always something going on, from monkeys, parrots and even small ponies visiting to keep her interested and stimulated. The staff not only cared for my Mother, but also ensured we were coping as a family. Sadly my Mother passed away in May, just 12 days short of her 104th birthday. During her final few hours, the staff were outstanding with the care and dignity shown not only to her but us as a family during this difficult time. They are an outstanding team at the Cedars Purton for which I am forever grateful.

The hygiene and house keeping is very good as is the furniture . My wife looks always well dressed in clean laundered cloths, clean with her clean hair neatly brushed, her room is neat and tidy with the bed always made floors clean. The photograph of the family are displayed on her dressing table.

My very frail 96-year-old mum became a resident of The Cedars on January 8th, 2025.
Initially, she was a little worried about what to expect, but within a very short period of time, she had been settled into her lovely, cosy, warm room and made to feel very welcome.
Three weeks on and she's thriving - the entire team could not be any kinder or more attentive. Nothing is too much trouble; the food is good and plentiful, cups of tea, coffee, snacks, and biscuits morning, afternoon, and evening. The facilities are excellent - she particularly loves the huge bathtub into which she can be raised and lowered.

My dad has been a resident at The Cedars since November 2022. The care and love shown to him during this time is exceptional. This is our first experience of elderly care and the package delivered by the team is excellent given the financial parameters they have to work within. The financial impact of delivering such care is obviously very high, however a refresh/refurb to public areas and rooms alike should be made a priority for staff and residents. To finish, the love and care provided by The Cedars is superb.

My father had to move in here after a hospital stay and I could no longer look after him. There were teething problems but everyone was so helpful and transparent that these were soon sorted out. It was a tough decision I had to make but I have never regretted my choice of home for my dad. He has always been a fussy eater but staff went above and beyond to sort food he would eat and enjoy.
He passed away in August at the home and as a family, we were supported throughout and this still continues.
I cannot praise their compassion and professionalism enough.

I am so glad to be able to give my honest opinion on this care home, my husband is there. The first time I viewed this care home for my husband, where he would be happiest and made at home, this care home came across as the best home for warmth and a friendly atmosphere. Very caring staff, excellent food and entertainment organised well. The new manager has come across as helpful and easy to talk to. During the time my husband has been in care I have only missed two days out of six months, I have time to notice the kindness of staff. A very demanding job, as every resident has different needs. My husband tells me he is very happy there, which means a lot to me.
