Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We continue to be very happy with the care provided to our mother by the staff at Cedar House. A marvelous range of activities and visiting groups from the community make for an interesting and interactive life. The addition of the Café has made the place even more sociable and provides a place for
small groups of people to meet socially.
Reply from Andrew Cohen, Owner at Cedar House
We put significant resources into our activities, there is a team of three coordinators, and every day there is so much going on. We believe this delivers the best quality of life for our residents…read more

Review from Jonathan S (Son of Resident) published on 2 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home is a caring community. Facilities are good and well maintained. My mother has been very happy since joining two years ago. She remarks on how friendly the staff are. She can be as independent as she wishes and does not feel at all institutionalised. There are however many organised and unorganised
activities which she can and does enter into. Her only gripe is that she would like the choice of food to include more vegetarian options. Visitors are made very welcome and I am kept informed by staff about my mother’s health.
Reply from Andrew Cohen, Owner at Cedar House
Jonathan, thank for your review. Please check with our chef, she does offer vegetarian alternatives to the regular menu.

My mother was a resident at Cedar House from 2011-2017 when she died. My sister and I have always been so grateful for all the great care and attention that was given to her and others in the home. I have since become a regular volunteer taking art classes and also am I involved, on behalf of Rothley
Parish Church, helping with the monthly church service for the residents. As far as I can see when I visit, the high standard of care for the residents continues.

My mother moved to Cedar House care home in September 2022. Since then, she has received excellent care and settled in well with other residents. The management team have always been very accessible and responsive to our requests or questions, and the staff are kind and attentive. Facilities and amenities
are good, and a great deal of effort is put into entertaining and engaging the residents.
Overall, we have been impressed with the care home and feel we can recommend it.
Reply from Andrew Cohen, Owner at Cedar House
Thank you for the positive review. We are all so proud of Cedar House; we have a real home where everyone enjoys a relaxed and caring culture.

I am extremely impressed by the standard of care at Cedar House. My mother really enjoys being there. The staff are very caring. My mother has been there for over two years. We chose the home during the Covid restrictions and being unable to inspect it ourselves had to rely on the opinion of friends
who had either had a relative there or visited a friend there. Everyone sang its praises and our experience is that their praise was well justified.

The care home is very well presented. The staff are very caring and go about their work with compassion and professionalism. I can't fault the management team at this time due to all the difficulties of COVID-19 they are doing their upmost to keep the residence entertained and involved and despite the
stress this is causing all parties, nothing's to much trouble when we ask. A lovely setting and enviroment to place a loved one.

I have had a credible amount of experience over the past circa 20 years with elderly relatives being resident in care/nursing home establishments, and of all those I have visited, Cedar House is superior in every respect by a substantial margin; enough said.

Excellent care and attention to detail, all staff are very attentive to my mother's needs, in very extreme and demanding times. The care home staff have been extremely good in keeping me up to date with my mother's health and needs. When struggling to reach her mobile they have been very good and offered
the use of the care homes landline.

The care our mum has received from Cedar House has been ‘outstanding plus’. The staff are immensely kind and patient, they go many extra miles. Our mum loves her contact with them and they have really got to know her as a person. I love their creativity and sense of fun. We have seen our mum safe, well
and relaxed, a real transformation. And the food is great! It is hard to put into words my gratitude for the quality of care that everyone at Cedar House shows. A huge thank you!

The service and care at Cedar House are outstanding. I cannot praise them enough. My mum is so well looked after and with such respect. It's such a pleasure to visit a home with such a lovely atmosphere. I was dreading Mum having to go into care, but over the last nine months Cedar House has turned
upside down all my negative preconceptions.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum came to Cedar House because she was recovering from a serious illness and had been in another care home for 2 weeks without a lot of care or help. Since she has been here, the care for her has been second to none. She has had a lot of medical problems whilst there and she has been looked after
so very well and treated with much care and respect and love. We know she is safe and also she is happy. She has hinted that maybe she will stay here as a resident if she possibly can and this is enough for us to know she is settled. Lovely place, caring staff and an owner who is involved with the day-to-day. We most definitely recommend Cedar House.

My Mum has been a resident for 2 years and the level of care she has received in this time is second to none. All the staff are very professional, extremely kind and always approachable and supportive. They take the time to get to know the individual residents which makes for a relaxed but well-run
atmosphere. The home itself is immaculate in décor and presentation with a varied programme of activities for the residents to join in if they wish. Currently, the home is being extended and this will only enhance the facilities available. I can't recommend Cedar House highly enough to anyone who is looking for a kind, safe and caring environment for a loved one.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.858)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.858) out of 10 for Cedar House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.858 for Cedar House is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.858
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cedar House is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
