Cedar Lodge Care Home

Mum has been in Cedar Lodge for over a year and she calls it her home as the team at Cedar Lodge have made it this way for her. The care and thought the team put into the smallest details is outstanding. From the chef checking on meal requirements to the nursing care (which is exceptional) and all the care and activities. As a team together they work to ensure that each person is special in their own home.

Although my father was only a resident for two weeks prior to his death, he was treated with the utmost compassion, care and kindness by all those who came into contact with him. This also applied to his family and friends - nothing was too much trouble and someone was always available to answer any questions. As a family we would like to thank everyone for their care and kindness - at such a stressful time.

My friends were joint residents of Cedar Lodge for more than 4 years. In all that time I was a regular visitor and I was completely satisfied that they were at all times treated with the utmost care, kindness, dignity and respect. I have not rated highly lightly for each. Very well done to all concerned.

My first impression of Cedar Lodge was teh cleanlinesss, the smiling staff, how clean and well dressed the residents were, and particular attention to detail. My husband is so happy here, and he loves the staff, and we know he is being looked after.

Cedar Lodge was where my mum spent her final few months. Their 'magic' worked from day 1. So welcoming without being over-bearing. Always a kind face from all of the staff. My mum was quite artistic and thoroughly enjoyed joining in with the superbly prepared activities. So much better for her than sitting at home watching TV. I can not praise Cedar Lodge enough. A fabulous environment. When my time comes around it's where I'd ike to be.

I have no idea what extra they could do to improve comfort !

Mum has been a resident of Cedar Lodge for three years and we are so lucky to have found such a warm, caring and very professionally run home for her. After respite periods in another couple of homes in the area, we quickly realised the extent to which the team at Cedar Lodge goes above and beyond in the care they provide. Staff are always friendly, responsive, on top of mum's current needs and medical appointments and importantly she has developped close bonds with many of them. The addition of the coffee shop area has been wonderful, allowing residents to receive multiple visitors in a welcoming environment and for the Lodge to host more events with family and friends. They are to be commended for coming up with new and varied activities, mum particularly enjoyed being able to have her wedding dress on display recently! We are so grateful to all of the team who work tirelessly but in good humour to the benefit of mum's health, well-being and our own peace of mind.

My dear wife was admitted 2.5 years ago with Parkinson's and Dementia. The quality of care has been excellent. Without exception all the staff are wonderful and they are deeply committed to what they do because it comes from the heart and there is a real sense of community amongst them. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are always proactive in attending to my wife's needs. My wife is now at final stage Parkinson's and is undergoing palliative care. All the staff have undergone specialist training in palliative care. Cedar Lodge is without doubt exceptional for what they do and I cannot thank them enough.

We were very lucky to find Cedar Lodge. My father was with them for a year during which all the carers and wider staff treated him with immense kindness, compassion and care. The nursing team were brilliant - they were highly accessible and offered frequent feedback without needing to be asked. Dad had access to a wide variety of activities and I enjoyed joining him for singers and visiting birds of prey etc. The activities team worked so hard! When dad was no longer able to leave his bed they would come to his room to read to him & look at his photobooks. I am very grateful for the care he received from everyone, when dad passed away it was clear that Cedar Lodge is like one big family.

From the bottom of my heart, I say thank you to all the staff for their help & kindness. This is a place I will come back to in the future. Thank you so so much.

Since coming to Cedar Lodge both my health and wellbeing have improved, the staff are caring and respectful, and very friendly. My eldest son, who is a doctor in USA believes I wouldn't be alive today if I hadn't come to Cedar Lodge.

Two years ago, my wife aide an unplanned visit to Cedar Lodge as my mother's then care home was falling short of our expectations and Mum needed more care. My wife was so impressed. On visiting, so was I, and Mum moved in. The staff know residents and visitors by name, and know about residents welfare and condition like they were family. In fact, Cedar Lodge is like a big family home. The staff - all of them - really care and go the extra mile for the residents, and looked after us when my mum was declining and passed away.

And many of us are looking forward to sitting in the garden enjoying the summer flowers

My first impression of Cedar Lodge was how happy, friendly and welcoming is everyone. The staff are always helpful and take great care of the resident, and are happy to answer any queries. Frequent events are laid on, often musical entertainment, and sometimes visits from animals, such as rabbits, and once small birds of prey. A large friendly dog is a frequent visitor. Birthdays are always celebrated with delicious cakes. The dining area is well laid out, almost like a hotel. I am very satisfied with the good care my husband is receiving.

In the end Dad's residency at Cedar Lodge was just under 9 months. The home was clean & the staff friendly & helpful. Dad had always wanted to attend his church on a Sunday and to begin with this was made possible but as Dad's needs increased this became impossible. The home cared for his medical & nutrition needs, although we did have issues with the food which seemed to be addressed by the management. My only concern was the number of bed sores he developed which were managed after they had occured rather than preventing them happening.

Would recommend Cedar Lodge to anybody looking for a Care home.

I know my friend believes she is in a hotel. She tells me the food is excellent.

My father was a resident in Cedar Lodge for 2 and a half years. He had developed dementia so was no longer able to look after himself at home. Cedar Lodge staff were consistently excellent in their level of both medical and social care. Also of note, any visitors my father had were always complimentary of the high standard of the environment, buildings and surroundings. I would recommend Cedar Lodge to any one looking for a care home package.

So pleased my brother-in-law is now a resident of Cedar Lodge. He has really settled in well. He is a changed person. The staff are very good with him.

I booked for my husband while taking a break from taking care of him. 2 weeks before travel, my husband became very unwell, the manager at Cedar Lodge kidly agreed to admit my husband 2 weeks early before the due date. All staff at Cedar Lodge took great care of my husband. During my visit and other members of the family visits, staff always welcome you with smiling faces. Very pleasant and clean place to stay.
