The Review Score of 10 (maximum of 10) for Cedar Lawn is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 5 out of 5 from 24 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Cedar Lawn in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.961 for Cedar Lawn is calculated as follows: ( (274 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 285 Ratings = 4.961
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cedar Lawn is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 7.4 positive Reviews (37 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 10 Reviews ÷ 7.4 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Cedar Lawn has a Review Score of 10 (9.961) from 24 Reviews

Since moving into Cedar Lawn my mother has never looked so well, even though her general health is failing. I have nothing but praise for the team at Cedar Lawn for the amazing job that they do, always putting their residents first at all times.

The care home was closed throughout most of February due to a flu epidemic. During this time my dad's needs and wants were delivered to an excellent standard despite the staff also struggling with the effects of a reduced workforce due to sickness. I spoke to my dad most days and he reported on how well he was being looked after and, under the rather extreme circumstances, how little his routine had been disrupted. Thank you to all the fabulous staff.

I want you to know that I live at Cedar Lawn Residential Home after a near death experience in hospital. After my husband died, I came to Cedar Lawn and I have never looked back. I am the happiest resident here and I want you to know how well the manager and her staff have looked after us all while the Flu epidemic and the snow have caused so many problems. I shall be 82 years old in May but I am so happy here I want to live to 100.

On our first visit to take a look around the home the first thing that strikes you is how bright, fresh, airy and clean the place is.
All the staff were happy and welcoming and smiling. There was a lovely sense of calm.
It's a very homely feel at Cedars staff are always on hand to help or assist when needed. There are lots of places to sit and chat and have tea or you can have you own privacy in your own room. It really is a lovely place. The staff are all friendly

I moved into Cedar Lawn hoping my husband would join me from hospital, but sadly he died. I am staying at Cedar Lawn until January and my stay has been great. I have had respect and dignity at all times and if I need to stay in a home again, I would choose Cedar Lawn again. The food in the home is excellent. The home is clean and I feel very secure here.

I came to Cedar Lawn in August for a one month respite. I didn't want to be permanently away from my home, but wanted my daughter to have a rest for a while. so went to Cedar Lawn. I have had the most lovely care and treated with respect and dignity at all times. Staff are always welcoming to all people that visit and nothing is too much trouble. We have the most amazing meals cooked for us and can choose whatever we want. I have been made to feel as if this is my home. I have decided to sell my home and live at Cedar Lawn permanently.

I moved to Cedar lawn in March 2016. I have found the home very comfortable and well staffed. I was in a lot of pain when I moved from my own home but now am pain free. The food is excellent also so clean. The support I get is amazing also there is always a cup of Tea to hand day or night. I have been treated with the utmost respect and dignity. I have plenty of room which is kept very clean. I would recommend going to Cedarlawn to anyone and everyone.

The residential home is homely and is a very traditional home with long serving and excellent staff. The care provided is 100% and my next of kin and myself are most satisfied with the welcome received. All the help that was provided to make the room to my liking etc. The location of the home is very good, with views to gardens and in a lovely quiet and peaceful area. No complaints to the way care and attention is given and all my needs.

I came to Cedar Lawn at the beginning of January, I did not know what care would be like but I was becoming more dependent on my family so know I needed help. I visited Cedar Lawn and was welcomed by staff to a degree I didn't believe possible, 3 days later I moved in. I don't know what they have done but all my illness has gone, I eat well, the food is excellent, plenty of choice. I am treated with respect and dignity at all times, everything is done to my wishes. I wish I had found Cedar Lawn before, I love it here and would recommend it to anyone.

My mother spent the last two and a half years at Cedar Lawn, passing away on January 19th. During that time she received excellent care. The end of life care that was shown to my mother was wonderful. I cannot praise Cedar Lawn highly enough for the care and love shown to my mother.

I moved into Cedar Lawn residential home first week January and I did not know what to expect. I need not have worried as I was made very welcome immediately and everyone who works here treat me with the utmost respect and dignity. The food is excellent, activities are varied so there is always something for everyone to do or I can choose to do my own thing. Nothing is too much trouble and I am so glad that I moved in.

Mother was in Cedar Lawn for nearly four years and she could not have been cared for any better as far as I am concerned it is the best care home in the district. All the staff were all wonderful to her and she was very happy.
