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.

My mum is now well-established into Cedar Court, at first she found it difficult to adapt, but after the care and support of all the staff she is much more settled. Mum has never been much of a mixer, she's always been happy on her own, but the team have now integrated her into the day room which...
There always something going on, and it's great to see photos of Mum on social media which I can then share with my brother.
Thanks again for taking such good care of her.
Thank you for your review for Cedar Court, it is wonderful to hear how well your mother has settled in.

Thank you for your five star review, the team at Cedar Court will be delighted to hear your comments about your aunt's care, they are certainly very special.
My aunt was on the rehabilitation unit following a discharge from hospital. The staff on the unit was most helpful whenever we had any questions that needed answering. The food looked lovely what my aunt had. Staff always smiling, plenty of activities on each day.

Everyone had a smile for me when they walked in. My room was lovely, looking out to the sky and sea. The management was caring, taking care of my painful issues. I have to go but the months I've been here, they have been happy ones. So breaking my hip and wrist at 90 years old could have been an awful experience but I was surrounded by kind people. To be kind is the strongest word and that made me calm in every situation. I was brought up by an elderly lady, I wish with all my heart she could have had a happy end but she didn't.
I was a bit nervous of my mam and dad going into the care home at first, but I needn't have worried because all the staff are amazing and very caring. I can't fault any of them, they go above and beyond to give my parents the care and attention they need . Nothing is any trouble to them and the...

I can't fault any of them, they go above and beyond to give my parents the care and attention they need . Nothing is any trouble to them and the home and staff are very welcoming. My dad loves it in there, he loves the entertainment, especially the singers. I would recommend this care home.
Really enjoy living here with my wife. The room is great, the staff are most helpful, love singing and dancing with activities.

Such a wonderful care home. I can’t thank the staff enough for all they do. Both my nana and grandad are in the care home and all of the staff go above and beyond! The manager was very accommodating when there was some confusion around my grandparents visiting each other. Nothing is ever too much to ask. My nana and grandad get treated like family by all of the staff and it’s so nice to know they are getting the best care, especially when we have been unable to meet their needs. I would absolutely recommend this care home!
I have two elderly relatives living at Cedar Court Care Home and I can honestly say that the care given is excellent! The staff are professional, friendly and extremely helpful! My relatives care needs are fully met. I would certainly recommend this care home.

Dad has been in for six months, since coming out of hospital. He has been happy in the home and the staff are brilliant with him. The dementia part is very hard for the staff and there is a lot to do at times. When they have to bath him, sometimes they need two people, so there are times that need someone there to take the load off.
My husband enjoys living at Cedar Court. He always tells me what he has had to eat, excellent food, can tell by the weight he has gained. He enjoys the entertainment that is provided. The staff are brilliant too.

The staff at Cedar Court are remarkably kind and patient, showing a great deal of care and professionalism often in difficult circumstances. I have nothing but praise and admiration for their care in looking after my mum in her last year of life. They encouraged her to engage with other residents and the many lovely activities they organised, and attended to all her needs whilst preserving her dignity.
Sadly, my mother-in-law passed away this week. The care and sympathy relating to our loss are beyond measure. We feel that our loss is not just an everyday occurrence but heartfelt and that is much appreciated. The staff here are more than amazing.

My mam was first in Cedar Court Residential & Nursing Home in time to heal which she was well looked after. On returning home after a few weeks she asked the family could I go back there, she said she felt safe and all the staff are nice which is good for the staff at Cedar Court, so Mam has been back in since September 2022. All the family are happy with the care she receives and the knowing that she is safe at night. All the staff are great with our mam as she has Alzheimer's the stories she can makeup and the staff just go with her to a point.
I like it here. Staff are helpful and the food is nice.
