It's a huge decision to place a parent in a care home. I looked at so, so many but I knew I had found the 'Home' when I viewed The Cedars. The staff are amazing and I know mums care is their utmost priority. From moving into everyday care, they are supporting you as well as your parent.

Review from Judith B (Wife of Resident) published on 18 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Each resident is cared for as an individual. I am impressed with the standard of care and the patience of all the carers, especially with residents who may be difficult. It is also very good to see residents doing colouring in and playing simple, or should I say, easy games at a table with a carer.
There are also times when a group of musicians come in and play instruments and sing. The residents respond to very much indeed.


There are televisions in all lounges which residents like to watch. At Christmas, there are trees and decorations. Residents are stimulated by various activities. I like the fact The Cedars Rest Home is not a large care home and this is good and another thing I am pleased with is my husband is well cared for.

Mum has been here for 2 months. She has been well cared for and enjoys the visits from the hairdresser and the manicures. We feel happy that she is safe with dedicated, caring staff attending her. The lounges and gardens are well maintained. It is lovely to sit outside in peaceful surroundings.

Review from Peter G (Son of Resident) published on 8 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Cedars is amazing, they care for the residents and also care for the family members visiting. I have had many a meal with my dad in there and the food is great quality. I often visit and the staff will offer me a coffee and biscuit or cake, they really care for everyone. If I take my dad out they
will offer to lend us a wheelchair, make sure my dad is prepared and ready if I inform them in advance. They will take my dad to hospital appointments and save me taking time off work. I could not be happier with The Cedars and their care levels. In fact, my friend has moved her dad into The Cedars on my recommendation and she loves it too. Over the few years I have been visiting I have never seen a carer lose their patience and their compassion towards the residents is just amazing.

The Cedars is a well presented, welcoming care home in a lovely setting. The building is well organised and maintained with period features. The staff are welcoming and caring. The environment is calm and clean.
My aunt has been well cared for here and enjoyed two years of care here.
It has been
peace of mind for me knowing she is well looked after and happy.

Consistently good. Staff cope very well with some difficult residents - but always with good humour.
A staff member accompanied my father to A&E recently after he fell (turned out he broke his hip), made sure has was OK until we were able to get there.

My Father is an independent man who did not accept entry into a care home with ease. I am happy to say that the superb team of staff at The Cedars has made his transition comfortable My Father is thriving in the environment that the team works hard to provide. His health, both physical and psychological,
has improved. Both he and I are relieved that his future is in such positive and caring hands.

My mother is treated with kindness and respect. The staff take great care of her health, noticing problems and responding quickly. The home is always welcoming and is well managed, always clean and there are signs of great attention to details such as seasonal flowers and decorations. My mum tells me
she feels safe and very well cared for. The kitchen seems enterprising and offers freshly made good food.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum was a resident at Cedars for 4 and a half years until she died at the end of March 2018. Mum was extremely happy living at Cedars and loved the staff, who looked after her exceptionally well. As a family, we were able to visit her at any time and we enjoyed their special events, such as their
Christmas do and Summer fete.
Unfortunately, Mum suffered from dementia and deteriorated over the last 2yrs where she exhibited extremely challenging behaviour. I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff at Cedars. They tried different strategies in managing her and gave her time and patience. They treated my Mum with such respect right up to the end. They could not have done anymore for her. I would definitely recommend Cedars.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved to The Cedars at the end of 2015 and we have been very pleased with it. They manage his needs well and have a really good understanding of how to cope with residents who have dementia. The surroundings are beautiful and the communal rooms are decorated and furnished to a very high standard.
The carers get to know the residents and take a real interest in them. The manager, in particular, is outstanding. My father is happy there and the family are delighted with the standard of care and with the fact that we are made to feel welcome when we visit. I can highly recommend The Cedars.

My brother & I moved our dad into The Cedars in October 2015. He suffered from vascular dementia and various age related problems.
He recently passed away peacefully & painlessly.
Dad was very happy at the Cedars, he thought all the staff were wonderful.
We found the staff to be extremely caring,
friendly & approachable, honest & hardworking.
Dad loved the food & until the last few weeks, he had a healthy appetite.
We both want to thank all the staff for the care they provided for our dad.

My mum has lived at The Cedars Rest Home since September 2013 and had progressively succumbed to her dementia. Throughout this time the staff at The Cedars Rest Home have coped magnificently with her increasingly difficult behaviour (constantly on the go and will not stay still, even at night) The staff
are very caring and I know she is completely safe in their hands. The home is warm and clean and the food provided appears very tasty and nutritious. The staff always make sure the residents get enough fluids. There are also plenty of activities put on for the residents, although it is no longer possible for my mum to take part. There are also events through the year for families of the residents to attend such as a Christmas party, summer fete and bonfire night, complete with food and drink.

My mother moved into The Cedars around May 2016. The staff have always been pleasant, polite and accommodating. When requests have been made they have been prompt. Nothing seems too much. My mum has lost weight and reduced mobility but this is down to her not eating properly. The staff try very hard
to be encouraging and she always looks to have been attended to well.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.664)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.664) out of 10 for The Cedars Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.964 for The Cedars Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.964
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Cedars Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 7 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.
