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 dad has only been here a short time so unable to review management or activities but he is very happy with the care he is receiving here. All staff have been kind, supportive and courteous on each visit.

Though we are more than happy with the care and support my mother is receiving we have found on a number of occasions we have been able to visit she has been dishevelled and even unclean. I realise that she washes and dresses herself, but I think given her age and condition she would benefit from more guidance to ensure she is clean, presentable and her personal hygiene is maintained.
The care home is very well organised which has been very comforting both before and during the Covid pandemic. Providing us information on request is very responsive and the home has made my mother's life comfortable and enjoyable.

Mum's clothes are sometimes dirty, her room could do with a good dusting and painting. I've turned up for a visit on three occasions to find that the staff haven't booked it in (one of them was Christmas day). Turned up once to be told the home was locked down but no one had let us know. Today I was let in and then had to wait forty-five minutes for someone to go and get Mum, while last week my disabled wife and I waited outside for an hour until someone went to get her, it really is poor!
All the staff were very friendly and considerate and explained what was being done and what was expected from me.

My mam and dad have been in 2-months for care and seem to have settled in very well. The food is good, and the staff are very attentive. The room is a little bare, but this is because we don't know if this is going to be long term.

Thank you for taking the time to review our home and for your kind words about our team and home-cooked meals. We do invite our residents to make their rooms their own, even if with us for a short time, just to make it feel more like home - so if there is anything we can do, please do let us know. Best wishes.
Staff amazing, giving 100% all the time.

Cedar Court is a breath of fresh air after her experiences of other care homes. My mam has been a resident for over three years - staff have always been excellent - very helpful and friendly - good banter with some. Any complaints (very few) addressed quickly and satisfactorily with no bad atmosphere after (that was experienced elsewhere, every time, where other family members were in "care").
