Welcome to Cedars Care Centre in Barnet. This large, detached, traditional home offers 24-hour specialist care to those over the age of 18. The home is fortunate to have a long-serving team of nursing and support staff that provide high-quality, person-centred care within a homely environment. While specialising in Dementia care, they offer long-term, palliative, respite and post-operative care.

The well-maintained home comprises 35 single bedrooms and 5 companion rooms for couples wishing to share, all with en-suite facilities. They encourage residents to furnish their new surroundings with familiar pieces of furniture and personal possessions to make them feel truly at home. They welcome and cater for live in small dogs and cats as well as welcoming visiting pets.

Many of the activities take place within the home environment and include garden tea parties, barbecues and arts/crafts. Within the garden, there is a raised vegetable patch offering the opportunity to ‘grow your own’. They empower individuals to enjoy those everyday routines they cherish, whether that’s having a manicure, visiting the cinema or keeping up to date with their favourite football team. All are encouraged and available. Residents enjoy the wider community, with a thriving high street, independent shops and local park all within a short distance.

Cedars is exemplary in its care for its residents. The staff are all amazing, I think they’re just fantastic. The home is always spotlessly clean and they make it such a comfortable and welcoming place to visit. It’s been really hard for my family to see my dad deteriorate with Parkinson’s and the pandemic
and lockdowns have made it hard to visit him as much as we’d like. Cedars always makes us feel welcome when we do and have been brilliant in managing covid and keeping residents safe through this difficult time.

People are being very nice, looking after my father. They seem to be taking a lot of care with him, which is very good. They all seem quite happy about the place and the nursing seems to be of a high quality.

I cannot praise The Cedars highly enough. The kindness of the staff brings tears of grained to my eyes. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The home is spotlessly clean and palpably full of joy. The residents all seem happy and well stimulated. The staff work as a team and create a lively and reassuring
atmosphere. The food is good too!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I must take this moment to say a very special thank you to the manager and all the staff at The Cedars Care Centre who in the most respectful and beautiful way cared for my father, during his time with them.
The Cedars became his home, and they cared for and supported him throughout his stay. They
were always supportive of the family playing an active part in his wellbeing.
My family and I will forever be grateful for their kindness, compassion and warmth provided to not just Dad, but we the family too.
It goes without saying that, should another family ever have the need for their loved one to move into a nursing home, I would highly recommend The Cedars Care Centre because they genuinely do care and take seriously their responsibility.
So, to each and every member of the team...thank you, thank you, thank you!

Excellent care home. Staff are fantastic, in all aspects of care, and are very much dedicated in all they do for the residents. If you have problems they see to them right away. The management team are very dedicated in all aspects of their work, and also the entertainment staff. The home is always
spotlessly clean, the food also excellent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Manager must be very proud of her dedicated team at Cedars. They are compassionate and caring and have been a lifeline to my mum during Covid restrictions. They dealt with an emergency with my mum and reacted quickly to get the best treatment for her. They have continued to care for her once she
returned from hospital following complex surgery. My mum has dementia and terminal cancer so I know that the palliative and end of life care that they will provide for my mum will be second to none. This gives me peace of mind as due to Covid I cannot currently visit my lovely mum but the staff are always happy to speak to me and update me on how she is.
When I had to find a care home for mum a few months ago I could not visit any to inspect so chose Cedars from online reviews and CQC inspections. I kept questioning whether I had placed mum in the right place but the last few months have shown me that I certainly made the right choice. Wonderful caring staff.

I have been visiting someone for over a year at this service - I have always found the staff kind, compassionate and helpful. A number of friends have also visited at various times and I have always heard positive feedback from them also. After lockdown visits were excellently managed. I am a healthcare
professional myself.

I have always found the staff at Cedars to be helpful, positive and friendly. I have only ever witnessed kindness shown to the service users. My friend has been very happy at Cedars although lockdown has been hard. Nevertheless, Cedars is covid free, a very good indication of standards. I am impressed
with the good communication skills of staff.

During lockdown, I have been in regular contact with the staff and management of The Cedars and I have been really impressed with their handling of the crisis. They have often told me they are having difficulty getting hold of tests for COVID but by the next time I speak to them they have managed to
do so, which I know has not been the case for many homes. My Mother, now nearly 91, has remained negative throughout the pandemic, after being tested on quite a number of occasions. I put this down to the very high standards of care and attention to detail in the management and nurturing of residents. She is also happy and relaxed and I think this also contributes to better health including an enhanced immune system. Laughing is also reputed to support the immune system and when I've been on the phone with her during this time I've often heard her joking with staff and can hear the level of affection between them.

The staff at The Cedars are unfailingly kind and helpful. They treat my mother with great warmth and friendliness so that she feels safe and cared for. The food is excellent and I have been offered meals when I am there as I live a long way away, so I can testify the freshness and tastiness of it. The
rooms are ok, not beautiful but my mother recently moved to a nicer room with french windows and it is lovely and she is happy. I trust all the staff with my mother and even in Covid-19 times, I feel sure they will look after her to the best way they possibly can.

A glowing report on the care received by management and carers. Having tested positive to Covid 19, the care home was already locked down. But we were afforded constant updates and videos on my mother's progress. We rang the home at numerous times and was told the progress she was making. Fortunately,
she tested clear of the virus, this was amazing given her age. The home must be commended on the handling of this ravaging virus. On a happier note, when the carer, dressed in all the PPE equipment, my mother thought she was being fed by an alien.

Of all the local care homes we visited before choosing the best place for our friend, The Cedars were the most welcoming and homely. It has proved to be an excellent choice. Our friend has lived here happily for three years now. The staff are all friendly, caring and professional, treating the residents
with respect and dignity and making visitors feel welcome at all times. Indeed, there is a family atmosphere at The Cedars. The home is clean and tidy. There are plenty of activities for the residents, including afternoon quizzes, summer barbecues and live entertainment. Residents' birthdays are celebrated with a birthday cake, shared by everyone. The Cedars is the epitome of a care home in that it is both caring and homely.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.886)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.886) out of 10 for The Cedars Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 64 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 63 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 4.886 for The Cedars Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (698 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 764 Ratings = 4.886
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Cedars Care Centre is based on 63 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 63 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.
