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.

I was really worried and upset when Mam had to go into care due to illness. However, the care and attention she received was first class from all staff, and now after being a resident for six months, it's so nice to see her happy and content. All staff are so helpful, caring and pleasant.

Although my grandad was only a resident of Cedar Court Residential & Nursing Home for a month or so I can honestly say the care staff and the care home are amazing. The place was always immaculate, the staff were always friendly and were fabulous with my grandad. I would highly recommend this care...

Mam was admitted for convalescent care about five years ago after breaking her hip. Sadly it was deemed that due to onset dementia etc., it was felt necessary to transfer to the residential unit. She really enjoyed it, joined in activities and made friends. The staff were marvellous and nothing was...
They are truly angels in disguise....every one of them!
Can't fault management or staff, always pleasant, friendly, caring and informative. Carpet, decorating and also ensuite in Mam's room could do with being updated. The Garden could be made nicer with more flowers.
