Review from John W (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 1 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Every time I'v been to visit my mother-in-law I have always been very warmly welcomed by staff. I have always found my mother-in-law very happy, content, clean and tidy, very smartly dressed and a smile on her face. I always find the home to be spotlessly clean, her room is always clean and tidy. If
anyone is looking for a long term home for a member of their family I cannot recommend Cedar Grange enough. I must pay special thanks to the staff they are all super, caring and super friendly.

I have visited Cedar Grange 3 times to visit my friend, and each time have been impressed by the friendliness of the staff. The cleanliness of everywhere, and how nicely dress she is. The use of the rooms is quite inspired with the lovely, bright dining room and the effort put in to make each area interesting.

The staff at this care home take excellent care of my mother. She is always dressed in clean clothes that are her own clothes and she is clean and well presented. The activities that are provided keep her well stimulated and interested in taking part with whatever is planned! The photographs are lovely
to see up on the board when we visit. Her bedroom is always spotless and not too hot. We as a family feel reassured that our mother is safe, cared for and happy in the home that we chose for her to live in. Big thank you to all the staff

Review from D P (Son of Resident) published on 2 April 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
I cannot write a poor enough review of this care home. My dad spent a short amount of time here last year, and whilst the nursing staff were great, they were overworked/understaffed. After an initial consultation visit and accepting my dad (who has dementia) I had high hopes... things went downhill
quickly.
They failed to recognise my dads UTI condition and as a result he was difficult to deal with. Rather than diagnosing/helping, they called the police on him as well as trying to charge additional 1-2-1 costs even though there was nobody actually looking after him 1-2-1 when I visited. Within a week of entering the home I was receiving threatening phone calls from the management/owner of the care group informing me I had 48hrs to get my Dad out of the home - this was in direct breach of the contract they had laid out which stated 7 days notice. Avoid.. nothing against the staff, but disgraceful behaviour from the owners.
Reply from Louise Livesey, Group Support Manager at Cedar Grange

We are surprised to have received this review, as it has been nine months since your father left us, and we had not received a complaint from you at the time. We understand how important it is for our families to feel totally confident about the care we provide, and having achieved a Carehome rating of over 9.7 for the last 12 months, we feel that we provide an excellent care home facility. We are sorry that the placement for your father was not successful; it was clearly not the right facility for him, and we must prioritize the safety of our residents and staff. We remain dedicated to delivering exceptional care and transparency. If you need any more information or help, please do not hesitate to contact us directly.

My mother entered Cedar Grange in October 2024 with both mobility difficulties and vascular dementia. Initially, she found it difficult to settle,but the professionalism and caring staff quickly resolved the problem. She has made friends with some of residents and joined the activities. The most impressive
feature is the rapid response to any health issues.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Initially I received a phone call from one member of staff after an information request about the care home. She put my mind at ease and invited me to look round the care home. I met her and was shown a bedroom and all the facilities that were available. I felt at ease and the member of staff answered
all m6 questions. On the day when my mum went in I was very apprehensive and nervous. It went very smoothly. The team were excellent and we sorted mums room out so that it was a home from home whilst my mum and dad had a coffee in the kitchen. As we went to leave the staff member took my Mother to a group and we left feeling that this was the right choice.

My friend has been at Cedar Grange for over six months now and from day one, he was made to feel welcome and part of the family there. The care he receives is exceptional. There are often events arranged which are lots of fun and bring enjoyment. To everyone. Over Christmas and for his recent birthday,
I was given use of the conservatory to being bring friends and family to celebrate the occasions. All the staff are brilliant.

Overall feel happy with the home and care Mum receives. It is sometimes hard to get through to the care team to let them know I will visit. This is important as Mum has become more incontinent in the last year and requires the toilet before she leaves the home to prevent accidents.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.650)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.650) out of 10 for Cedar Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.650 for Cedar Grange is calculated as follows: ( (198 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.65
  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 Grange is based on 23 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 23 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.

Vanessa Rigby

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2000

I started my career with Cedars Care Group in 2000 when the group was in its infancy. My
initial role was as a domestic cleaner at Woodlands Manor in Southport. It was a challenging
but rewarding experience. After a few short years, I progressed from Head Housekeeper to
Housekeeping Manager, overcoming various obstacles along the way.
As the group expanded, our CEO saw in me the dedication and skills needed for the role of
Quality Assurance Manager in the new Operations team. My responsibilities include
ensuring home compliance, overseeing maintenance work, and managing projects across
the entire group, a role I take on with a steadfast commitment to quality care.
I was recently approached to take on the role of Home Manager for Cedar Grange. I didn’t
hesitate to accept, as Cedar Grange has always been a source of pride for me.  In
September 2019, I collaborated with the Operations team to assist Cedar Grange in
achieving an "Outstanding" CQC rating in responsiveness—a distinction that is not easily
attained. Furthermore, Cedar Grange received the "Best End of Life Care" award from the
Gold Standard Framework. This initial accreditation was a six-month process, during which
my team and I diligently compiled evidence to meet their 20 standards of care, resulting in a
Gold award. Upon re-accreditation, we were honoured to receive the highest possible award,
the Platinum Award. The team and the home are incredibly proud of these achievements.
It goes without saying that I am very proud of Cedar Grange. I am now happy to say I am the
manager while continuing my responsibilities with the Operations Support Team. I am
excited to lead Cedar Grange and support the team in achieving our goals. I am grateful to
Cedars Care Group for the opportunities and support that have led me to this point in my
career.

Job Title: Operational Care Manager, Joined: 2000

My journey began in 2000, while I was still in my final year of school. I started as a weekend
worker at Ash Croft House Nursing home. After my exams, the then manager recognized
my potential and offered me a full-time position, which I gratefully accepted. This was just
the start of my career, and I am deeply thankful for the opportunities that have come my way.
I have since progressed from HCA to Floor Manager, then to Care Manager and Deputy
Manager, a testament to my ambition and drive.
In 2012, with Cedars Group's growth, our CEO created the Operational Support Team, a
crucial department that provided strategic and operational support to our care facilities. I was
offered the position of Operational Care Manager, overseeing the teams in the different
