We were called into the office and told what we thought would be the case that Mum has settled in and can be at times difficult. This we know.
She is always clean and tidy and comfortable and gives us no concern to her well-being.

Review from Susan S (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 January 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very satisfied with my mother's treatment at Cedar Lodge. The staff are very caring and take the trouble to interact with her - everyone knows who she is. The overall atmosphere is excellent, with clean bright rooms, good food etc. and my mother gets good medical and nursing attention.


The

only real criticism I have concerns my mother's hearing aids. Despite several discussions and even emails, the staff do not regularly check the state of the appliances
( batteries wax build up etc.) which limits her communication and when we visit they are often not functioning. I am sad that this hasn't been addressed.


I feel that my mother is in a safe place and am grateful for the care she gets.

My mother was moved from another home in Ash Vale. Although the staff were very friendly, the home was poorly managed. Cedar Lodge also has very friendly and caring staff, but with the difference of being very well managed. I would recommend this home to anyone. It is excellent.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother was assessed very quickly and brought into the home with a minimum of fuss and a lot of kind attention both from nurses and carers. I feel happy that she is in a warm, comfortable place and that her needs are attended to in a kind respectful way enabling her to retain her dignity at the end
of her life.

The staff at Cedar Lodge are all very helpful and kind, always willing to listen to any concerns and requests and they cooperate and perform to the best of their ability. The standard of care is very good and everyone always friendly and welcoming.
Night time staff caring standards could be improved.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I don't live in the area so would be unlikely to recommend the home to others.
It has taken many months to repair a lift, which causes problems at times. I feel that management are failing in some areas, the neglect of the lift being one obvious item. The staff appear attentive and responsive to all
enquiries made by myself.
My mother appears happier more recently with staff.

All staff helpful and welcoming at all times. Mum has been very well looked after. She enjoys having her hair and nails done each week. The medical care is excellent. She doesn't like some of the food but, is eating more since being at Cedar Lodge. She enjoys almost all of the entertainment. She likes
all the staff and says they are all very kind, she likes the cheeky ones!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
In my personal opinion, Cedar Lodge is a very good home. I feel my mum is safe at Cedar Lodge and well looked after. There has always been an open door policy at Cedar Lodge. The staff and management have always been able to help with any problems we have experienced. They have a communication book
in the office and anything we have got the staff to write in it, it has always been done or sorted out. It would be very nice if Cedar Lodge could have access or even own a minibus so residents could go out on more day trips. They are always happier after a good day out! Residents and staff!

Review from Anna C (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father had been a resident in Cedar Lodge for two and a half years until his death earlier this month.
During that time he was treated with great care, affection and respect by the staff.
I liked the fact that there were few changes in personnel and this was down in no small part to the compassionate
leadership of the person promoted to manager during this time.
If you are looking for a caring, friendly and personal care home, where all residents are loved and valued, then I would highly recommend Cedar Lodge.
We will miss it hugely and its talented staff.

Cedar Lodge Nursing Home provides excellent care in my experience of regular visits to my father in the past two and a half years.
The staff are amazing there are plenty of carers around who sensitivity work hard to meet the needs of my father. There is a great continuity of care with so many staff
who work there for years and kindly get to know the residents.
The environment is relaxing and plenty of space and a lovely atmosphere as you walk through the door. I would highly recommend this home.

Review from Helen M (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum went to Cedar Lodge in December for respite care after being discharged from hospital. This was very easy to arrange. She took a while to settle in as she was very independent and wanted to go back to her home garden.
From the day she arrived the staff couldn't have been nicer to her, nothing
was too much trouble, she had a lovely room. As her health deteriorated it was decided she would become a resident. Our mum has now sadly passed away but her family were really impressed with how she was treated in palliative care. All the kindness shown to us made a difficult time easier to deal with.

Cedar Lodge Nursing Home has always given my mum excellent care. All the staff are helpful and approachable if we have any concerns. There are many activities the residents can get involved in. The outside area has recently, over the past year, been improved making it a lovely place to sit or view from

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.772)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.772) out of 10 for Cedar Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.772 for Cedar Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (313 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 368 Ratings = 4.772
  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 Cedar Lodge is based on 30 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 30 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.
