The Cedars Care Home

I added a review some months ago, when our mother became a resident. This new review is from my own experience on the 4th of July 26, when my wife and I were visiting mum, who we were sat with having a cup of tea together and a chat. Unbeknown to us, entertainment had been arranged for the residents, in the form of a singer/piano player, who played and sang songs from the 60s,70s,80s as well as oldies, like WE'll MEET AGAIN. At first only a few residents took any notice, but this changed after a few songs, with residents singing and clapping. This event became special when 4 carers involved themselves with the residents, in such a special and heartwarming way, these carers were not forced to join in, they had smiles on their faces, they were enthusiastic, they managed to get residents to dance, it was a very special moment to experience and see. These carers are wonderful people, who do genuinely care, I cannot sing their praises enough. Our mother is blessed to live there.

Seem to love her and she shows it too. Made it easy for us in these hard times. She is safe and cared for and that brings us so much comfort

The care and support is consistent and staff listen attentively and take appropriate action to our requests.

To notice all these improvements in just 5 weeks is amazing. I'm sure the rest of my family will agree. We can only say a great big thankyou.

I would highly recommend.

My father in law had been at the home for 12 years and the love and care he received there meant it was my first choice when my aunt needed long term care. She has been there now for two years and throughout that time the staff have allowed her to settle in at her own pace, encouraging her to take part in activities and outings and ensuring she is protected and cared for while also allowing her her dignity and space when she needs it. She has always valued her independence, but after living with dementia at home meant it was not safe for her to be on her own, as a family we were concerned about how she would react to the change, But from the very first day she arrived we felt the staff understood her needs and treated her with kindness and compassion.

Mum has been at The Cedars for 7 months now. The staff helped her to settle well, and she remains calm and content. The staff are a cheerful team who treat Mum with dignity and respect. They seem very kind and patient. Activities are well organised, and Mum enjoys outings into the local village with one of her carers. We have been offered the chance to discuss Mum's ongoing care, along with plans and wishes for her end of life care when the times comes. All of this reassures us that she is safe and well cared for. We would happily recommend The Cedars to others.

The care my auntie has received at Cedars Care Home has been outstanding. She lives with dementia, and from the moment she arrived it was clear that the staff genuinely understand both the condition and the importance of treating residents with dignity, patience, and kindness.

The team go above and beyond to ensure she feels safe, comfortable, and respected. They have taken the time to get to know her as an individual, which has made a huge difference to her happiness and wellbeing. Staff are consistently caring, attentive, and professional, and nothing ever feels like too much trouble.

Communication with our family has been excellent, which gives us real reassurance that she is in the best possible hands. Cedars truly feels like a home rather than a care setting, and that is a real credit to everyone who works there.

I would highly recommend Cedars Care Home to anyone looking for compassionate, high-quality dementia care.

Would definitely recommend The Cedars.

Mum has been at Cedars for just over a year now. It was such a worry for us all, at the outset. A very difficult and worrying time but we knew it was the necessary step to take, without much knowledge or understanding of the process. Cedars made it so easy for us, welcoming us into their splendid home (more like a hotel!) with a warm and cosy lounge, like a Scottish Lodge! Mum has been widowed and lived alone for almost 33 years, so we were worried that living with others would be a concern. Not at all! She has made many friends (Upset a few on occasion, probably?!) and enjoys socialising with residents and staff in activities, exercises, and trips out. The staff are caring, patient, and attentive with Mum and also with family members. Timely comms when Mum is unwell. We are under no illusion and well aware that sadly her condition will continue to deteriorate, but as long as she remains comfortable, content, and most importantly, safe, we are grateful for the care she receives. Mum is well looked after!

Mum has found her new home and we couldn't be happier.

From start to finish all the staff have been amazing, from assisting with the interaction with the local authority through to the move. The care home is beautiful, clean with fantastic facilities. My relative is flourishing since her move into The Cedars 14 weeks ago. The daily activities and interactions with the staff provide us with much comfort knowing she is safe and well cared for in a lovely community environment.

Mum has received excellent care at The Cedars. The transition from home to residential care was something we were worried about but we didn't need to. She was welcomed and from the day she arrived was cared for and was treated as an individual, meeting all of her needs. She is thriving at Cedars. She had a pressure sore for 18 months at home and within 5 weeks at Cedars it was gone! The staff are amazing and I love the constant interactive events. As a family, we can't thank them enough. She is happy and very well in herself.

The Cedars are absolutely fantastic with mum. The staff are really caring and they show such compassion, treating mum with respect and dignity. Mum tell us she is “very comfortable “ there. Mums needs are met superbly well and her care package is constantly fine tuned as mums needs change. The meals are good, wholesome home cooked food and mealtimes really are something to look forward to. They have plenty of activities to keep mum occupied and she finds them very enjoyable, especially the painting. The building and grounds are beautiful and it is all spotlessly clean and smells fresh and pleasant. I couldn’t wish for a nicer place for mum.

The care my mum receives is outstanding. She is treated with respect and dignity and her care plan is updated as her needs change. The environment is clean and welcoming and I am kept up to date with activities and how mum is doing. I feel like the staff really know my mum. The staff are just so lovely and nothing is too much trouble.

I am happy with the care that The Cedars is providing my stepmother.

From day one nothing is too much trouble for the management and staff and they are always on hand when needed with help and encouragement.

It is great to be able to visit again, now covid is over. I attended two events which the home has organised for residents and family. One at Christmas time, whereby they had a singer, and one more recently to celebrate the King's coronation. They had a singer and games (the coronation bingo was very good!) and a superb buffet. A great time was had by all. Overall as a family we are extremely happy with mums care.
