My mother and mother-in-law have both been looked after by the brilliant, caring and friendly staff at Cedar Lodge Care Home. All very professional in what they do and help residents feel that they have activities to enjoy whatever their interests are. So many of the staff have been working there over
a long period and got to know the residents and their relatives. Nothing seems too much trouble. The home is very well-equipped with a lovely activities room, garden area and lounge. Nursing staff update you regularly and we always felt they had time to help us understand how Mum and Mum-in-Law were doing. We definitely feel that choosing Cedar Lodge was the best decision we made for the care of our relatives.

My stepfather enjoyed a very comfortable 13-months at Cedar Lodge. We found the level of care he experienced to be of the highest quality. The staff have been very professional and courteous, and in my opinion, have looked at the challenges of ongoing family visits during the Covid period extremely
well. Whilst he was in the main, unable to enjoy the organised activities, it's evident that the staff do all they can to ensure a pleasurable experience as possible for all their residents.

Picking a home for Mum when she hadn’t accepted that she needed care was extremely hard. This was made easy by the support of all staff at Cedar Lodge and the atmosphere of the home. On my first visit, I was welcomed by everyone. The activities room was buzzing with residents all chatting and obviously
happy. Mum went to Cedar Lodge after hospital, the staff cared for Mum’s needs but also my needs giving me time to talk. The first time I got a call at 8 pm from the nurse I panicked but this is normal practice to keep in touch with the family. When leaving late one evening, the residents were returning to their rooms, the chatter and laughter between them and staff was so wonderful and my choice was reaffirmed. When Mum fell ill again, the staff looked after Mum until the ambulance took her to the hospital, they kept me informed and when she amazingly returned, she was welcomed back like a member of the family. “I’m so happy to be back here, they are all so kind to me” acceptance from Mum!

I am so very pleased with Cedar Lodge Care Home, it is like one big, happy family, it's so lovely and clean, I could not wish for anything more for my husband. They are so very helpful and kind, all the staff are lovely, my whole family are also very pleased, we don't have to worry about my husband,
he is being well looked after. The manager and the home administrator are two really lovely ladies, we are very lucky we got my husband a lovely room in Cedar Lodge.

I can't thank you enough for the care and kindness you gave Mum during her month-long respite stay following her operation. Cedar Lodge kept me updated with Mum's progress and were always available for Mum whenever she needed anything. Everywhere felt Covid safe. The manager and the team make this a
happy, efficient and thriving care home. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cedar Lodge. Thank you.

My sister was admitted to Cedar Lodge Nursing Home on 11th January 2018 as I had been diagnosed with Osteoperosis and could no longer look after her. She was repeatedly falling over and I could not lift her. She was given an excellent room and the care she has had and continues to enjoy is outstanding.
I have always been contacted if she has had a fall and told if she has needed to go to the hospital. I have not been able to visit during the Covid pandemic as I am 79, however I can talk to her on the phone. This excellent nursing home has not had one case of Covid.

Cedar Lodge is deserving of the highest praise as all the staff have worked so hard to keep the home safe during this dreadful pandemic, Covid 19. My husband had been a resident from 17.02.2019 till his death on 14.12.2020, having suffered for nearly 19 years from Parkinson's. During his stay at the
home, we found the staff to be kind and understanding. From 6th July my husband had been bedbound and had to be turned every two hours and the nurses and carers were brilliant. Cedar Lodge is in the excellent, capable hands of its manager. She and her staff run the care home as a team and it is the strength of the teamwork that makes the home so outstanding as they cater for all the needs of their residents. I feel Cedar Lodge does go the extra mile for its residents, their families and friends.

Thank you for your compassion, support and professionalism in looking after our dad. Your attention to detail in getting to know him, plan his medical needs and care for him every day was outstanding. We were particularly appreciative of your experience in palliative care. Dad's 4 months with you were
comfortable, pain-free and peaceful. Thank you for welcoming my brother, sister and me into Cedar Lodge too - nothing was too much trouble and your willingness to let us be with dad or speak to him on Skype daily during COVID-19 gave us reassurance and comfort. We want to express our gratitude to all the staff and highly recommend Cedar Lodge - you are a fabulous, caring team!

I cannot recommend Cedar Lodge highly enough. I found the care for my mother, on every level, of a very high standard. The staff were lovely and caring. The food was excellent. Mum got her appetite back whilst staying. We always enjoyed going to visit Mum as Cedar Lodge felt cosy and safe and as a
result, the whole experience was very reassuring at a time when it could have felt the opposite. Thank you all at Cedar Lodge for making a difficult time so much better.
I'd also like to add you had your finger on the button very early on during this Covid problem which was also very reassuring. All in all brilliant.

Dad initially arrived at Cedar Lodge for two weeks respite care only but it very shortly became obvious this was palliative care. The team was more than happy to accommodate his change of circumstances and he spent his last few weeks surrounded by a loving, caring team. He was treated extremely kindly
and with dignity and some of the activities (the organ playing and the donkey) were brought to him to enjoy. The food was lovely. I would fully recommend to anyone else looking for a care home.

I am so thankful that Cedar Lodge was available to my mother. The care and respect she received during her stay made her last few weeks bearable. Nothing was too much trouble and her dignity was maintained throughout. The support given to the family was outstanding. My thanks to everyone involved. Unfortunately

The Cedar Lodge Care Home is always very clean, well kept and pleasant smelling. Staff are amazing, polite, kind and helpful to visitors and relatives. They are even more wonderful for the residents and are unfailingly tolerant, patient, caring and remarkably and consistently cheerful, even in the face

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.756)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.756) out of 10 for Cedar Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.756 for Cedar Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (289 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 344 Ratings = 4.756

  • b) 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 Cedar Lodge is based on 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
