Whenever I visit my mother the staff are welcoming and it is a pleasant experience and feel assured that her needs are met and is well looked after by the staff. Staff are always willing to discuss any issues that may arise and are more than helpful. Overall a good experience.

My husband had been in the good care of the staff at the Cedars for a few years and they always strive to provide good care and support with occasional events for residents and relatives to enjoy, at seasonal times such as Easter, Christmas, Bonfire night and especially Birthdays of the residents, great
staff and a good situation

Review from SUSAN R (Sister of Resident) published on 21 March 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a brief stay in hospital last summer following a second stroke, my brother went to The Cedars Care Home in Methley (Leeds) to recover, whilst his general health/medical condition was assessed After a 6-month stay, he has now been able to move on to a new "extra care" facility in Beeston, (Leeds)
where he has his own apartment and can start to rebuild his life as he wants, whilst still having support around him if needed.
Whilst at The Cedars, he made a number of friends amongst the staff who took the time out to make him feel wanted and cared for, Indeed when he left, they presented him with a leaving hamper for his new home - what a lovely gesture ! Fortunately, at his new home the care management facility is still being provided by Westward Care, so he will still hopefully be able to keep in touch with at least some of the staff he got to know at The Cedars and here all the gossip !
A big thank-you to everyone at The Cedars for looking after my brother so well !
Reply from Lisa Jones, Manager at The Cedars
Thank you for your kind comments. We are delighted to hear that you and your brother found the experience at Cedar's a positive one. Best wishes

Review from Kath W (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After visiting a number of care homes we decided upon Cedars Care Home because we felt the staff here were very caring and gave us all the information we needed and this made us feel that our Mum would get the best care and attention. I dropped my Mum off here on Friday, it was a very upsetting situation
for me and our family with all sorts of feelings of guilt and sadness. But she seems to have settled really well and I think that this is down to the staff here, so fingers crossed she will be happy here.

My auntie's been in Cedars for a few months now. She's settled in and I know she's safe.
She's 95 and she joins in with the activities she enjoys her knitting.
Lots of celebrations always going on.

Review from Sarah S (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 16 May 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandad has recently moved to The Cedars permanently, following a period of respite care. The care he has received is exceptional! The staff go over and above in attending to his needs, he has settled quickly and has been made to feel at home. The staff treat my grandad with the utmost respect and
dignity. He seems to eat all his meals which he reports are delicious. On visiting, The Cedars always appear very clean and I am grateful my grandad has secured a place here. 10/10.

Very friendly staff, clean, informative and literally couldn't do enough for my mum, who is very young to need care but they have so far been brilliant in this extremely hard time of transition.
The family are made to feel welcome at every visit.
Regular activities for the residents and lovely
home-cooked meals which suit different dietary requirements and tastes.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.277)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.277) out of 10 for The Cedars is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.477 for The Cedars is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 86 Ratings = 4.477
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Cedars is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 8 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.
