With a team who are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents, Cedar Court provides residential, dementia, nursing and palliative care. They also provide rehabilitation and pre-bookable respite care breaks.
The home is very much at the heart of the local community. School children often pop in to take part in activities and singing. There is regular entertainment from singers, musicians and choirs, and the local church run regular services for the residents. And there are trips out in the home’s minibus, from pub lunches to garden centres and shopping.
There are so many activities to enjoy, from pamper sessions, with manicures and hand massages to animal visits, with everything from snakes and tortoises to rabbits and dogs. And a stone’s throw from the coast, residents often enjoy walks along the harbour.
The home has lots of bright and airy spaces to enjoy, from the lounges, where residents enjoy activities and spending time with loved ones, to the dining rooms, where they enjoy delicious home-cooked meals prepared by the chef. From roast dinners with all the trimmings, to fish and chip Fridays and lighter bites such as home-made soups and freshly baked cakes for afternoon tea.
The residents love to get involved in ‘foody’ activities, baking and cake decoration, making pizzas and pies. And there is always a special menu for special occasions, from afternoon tea to themed nights.
Loved ones, who are welcome at any time, are embraced into life at Cedar Court. There are regular relatives’ meetings and a private family and friends Facebook page, where relatives can see what their loved ones have been enjoying doing, even if they can’t be there in person.
The gardens are wonderful, with wheelchair friendly pathways and raised beds, for residents who enjoy gardening.
Cedar Court also has a beautiful hair salon, for weekly appointments with the mobile hairdresser.
Our weekly fees are individual to each of our residents and are subject to a pre-admission assessment, which is required to understand the level of care and support needed. Our 2025 weekly care fees for residential care start from £1203 and for nursing care £1406, but may be in the region of 30% more*. This depends on your care needs and the type of bedroom that is right for you, from our standard rooms through to our premium bedroom options.
*If you require more specialist care such as 1-2-1 support, your weekly fee could be higher.

After a long hospital stay my friend moved into cedar court at first he was very unsettled and had challenging behaviour. The staff were excellent with him and over a short period of time they have gained his trust and now he tells me he loves living there better than been at home. On a few occasions the staff have invited me to have meals with my friend which he enjoys and he now appears to be happy and content .
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're delighted to hear how well your friend has settled and that the team has built such a trusting relationship. It's lovely to know he enjoys living here and feels happy, and that you're able to share special moments together.

It is with pleasure that I write this review of Cedar Court Care Home. It is a truly 5* establishment whose staff are pleasant, competent and helpful. They have made my stay an enjoyable experience albeit in difficult circumstances for me. But we all survived. The building is ideal for the purpose it serves. It is bright, spotlessly clean, with the rooms, comfortable and well equipt for the purpose they serve. The meals were superb and filling. All in all a first class establishment.
Thank you for taking the time to share such generous feedback. We're delighted to hear that your stay was made more comfortable by our welcoming environment, attentive team and well equipped surroundings. Knowing that our meals, cleanliness and overall care helped support you through a challenging time means a great deal to us.

My father has been a resident with Cedar Court Care Home since June 2025. I am really impressed by some of the Carers that look after him. In particular Debbie and Becky have shown exemplary kindness and care for him. They have actively encouraged him to eat, shower and shave, despite Dad on occasions being reluctant to do so. Speaking to Becky, it's obvious that it's an act of love for the residents that she enjoys supporting them. Becky is a Carer and goes beyond caring to creating activities for Dad - to engage him. The Activities Managers seem to be less interested in spending time with residents on the Dementia unit. If they did so, they too may be able to encourage my Dad to do more activities. The Activity Manager has apparently been doing the role since they were 17, yet they could take a leaf out of Becky's book and engage more with the dementia residents. The space on the dementia unit isn't great and it defies being equitable as non dementia residents have a lot more space.
Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We're pleased to hear your father has received compassionate, personalised support and that our team's encouragement and meaningful engagement have made a positive difference to his daily life. If you would like to discuss any aspects further, please do get in touch.
My Mum is always clean, warm and well fed, her room is cosy and clean and the staff always make a fuss of her and make her feel safe! The activities are too class as are the social events that take place regularly slowing families to be part of the day!

I am raising urgent and serious concerns regarding the safety, dignity, and wellbeing of residents at Cedar Court Care & Residential Home Seaham. Based on what I have personally observed, I believe the service may be failing to meet multiple CQC fundamental standards, and that residents may be at immediate risk of harm.
Safeguarding FailuresI witnessed situations that strongly suggest residents are not being adequately protected. These included unsafe supervision, delayed responses to residents in distress, and staff interactions that did not demonstrate an understanding of safeguarding responsibilities. These incidents indicate a potential breakdown in the home's safeguarding culture.
Unacceptable Quality of CareThe standard of care I observed was well below what should be expected. Basic needs were not met promptly, residents were left without support, and staff engagement was minimal. Several residents appeared distressed or uncomfortable without timely intervention.

My husband has been in the care system since July 2025 with dementia and Alzheimer's, his 1st nursing home couldn't help him unless he was almost asleep! I was offered a placement for my hubby at Cedar Court Residential and nursing home, and after my 1st viewing, I knew this was perfect for him....
My husband has been in the care system since July 2025 with dementia and Alzheimer's, his 1st nursing home couldn't help him unless he was almost asleep! I was offered a placement for my hubby at Cedar Court Residential and nursing home, and after my 1st viewing, I knew this was perfect for him. The staff are wonderful, they go above and beyond to help, nothing is too much trouble, and my husband isn't always asleep now, he's awake, happy and mixes with other residents! We've been married 55 years and never been apart before, so I was dreading being on my own for Christmas! Cedar Court invited me to be with my hubby for Christmas lunch, the meal was beautiful, a 3 course lunch!
My grandad was there for 2 weeks and over that time he was always stuck in his room, only had water or a cup of tea when family member asked. He got really depressed and withdrawn. It is a big joke. We had to move him to a different care home. We moved him to another home which is the same company...
My grandad was there for 2 weeks and over that time he was always stuck in his room, only had water or a cup of tea when family member asked. He got really depressed and withdrawn. It is a big joke. We had to move him to a different care home. We moved him to another home which is the same company but there is always staff avalible and he eats in the dinning room with other residents and in lounge. Avoid cedar court. Don't let any family member go there ever. Staff from cedar court seaham need to learn from staff the other home in way of respect to residents and listen to what the residents say to them. The management at Cedar Court Seaham is disgraceful.

I don't write reviews normally but on this occasion I feel I must if only to let other people know what to expect if they are considering the Nursing part of this home for their loved ones. My Dad recently had a short stay, as we moved him shortly after arriving as the care he was giving was below adequate. Basic needs of hygiene, nutrition & cleanliness were not met at all. The food was very poor, lacking any nutritional value and not enough to sustain a healthy appetite, disticint lack of basics like water giving at regular intervals if any was giving at all, , the room was dirty on arrival and remained dirty throughout my dads stay, and in over 3 weeks stay my dad was only bathed on 2 occasions. I found the staff rude and unhelpful and lacking any respect for elderly loved ones they are caring for, also there were no activities available for my dad on the ward he was staying, I would not recommend Cedar Nursing to anyone based on my experience.
