Cedar Lodge

I have been visiting Susie for 18 months since Dec 2024. I visit about 3/4 times a week. I have always found staff to be polite, caring, professional and very patient. The food is plentiful and excellent. The chefs are also very imaginative, producing new and different extras. The nurses are first class & caring. There are also interesting activities for the residents including music & singing & keep fit. The rooms are also full of residents personal extras. Also weekly service excellent

In early August my mother in law had been very ill. During this time all staff members were fantastic in the care and attention they gave her whilst they nursed her back to good health. I'm not going to single out any 1 person as they were all incredible. They all deserve a medal for their work and dedication.

Mum has been very ill, thanks to all the staff at Cedar Lodge, she is now much better. The amazing care she has received from everyone has helped her recover. She is treated with gentle, kind. care.

Service has been generally excellent. Staff friendly and good at what they do.

A real gem with the most wonderful caring staff. Nothing was too much trouble and they welcomed us both into their family. They supported and cared for me as much as my husband. I was encouraged to spend as much time in the home with my husband whilst he got to know and trust the staff and they got to know my husbands complex needs.

Our mother went to Cedar Lodge for end of life care. The home has a lovely feel about it, all staff members actively engaged and caring. Mum was treated with warmth, attention and dignity and there was always someone on hand to attend to her needs. A particular mention to Mihaela, Deputy Manager and head nurse, whose professionalism and kindness will stay with us. It was comforting to know that our mum was in such safe hands. For anyone considering short or long term care we can wholeheartedly recommend Cedar Lodge.

Cedar Lodge has a lovely, friendly atmosphere. The staff are kind and caring with a wonderful home manager.

We always found the atmosphere at Cedar Lodge very calm and pleasant. The staff were all very helpful, from the management to the carers and kitchen staff and always cheerful. My husband was always treated with dignity and the food was very good. He was there for 3 weeks respite and did not join many activities, but was very happy to attend the church services on 2 occasions. On returning home he said he had enjoyed his visit and would be happy to go again.

My recent stay at Cedar Lodge for three weeks was really enjoyable. My husband is always happy when I am with him. Everyone is very caring and make me most welcome. It is very comfortable and the food is excellent. Thank you all very much. Fondest wishes.

A happy friendly atmosphere in the home. Staff very helpful to visitors. They are doing a great caring job with the residents who respond well in their company.

My dad was very unwell when he came to Cedar Lodge just before Christmas. He was also frightened, and as a result of that, quite difficult to work with. Cedar Lodge were AMAZING, monitoring his health and caring for him generally. Thank you.

Cedar Lodge always looks clean, bright & friendly. The staff are always cheerful and we are happy that Dad lives here. Some of the residents can be loud & aggressive, but the staff always treat them with humour, dignity & kindness.

During my husband's time at Cedar Lodge, he had the best of care, and I was equally supported from the Cedars nursing staff up to the manager. We were looked after and involved in all decisions, including end of life. Everyone was friendly and they really care about all the residents regardless of physical/mental ability. At Cedar Lodge, you become part of the family, and even though my husband is sadly no longer here, I still go back every week for the church service where I am welcomed with hugs by the staff, so grateful for the cheerful care they give to everyone. A very special care home.

I have been a volunteer at Cedar Lodge for over two years. My mother and mother-in-law were both in different dementia care homes, so I have experienced different ones. I can honestly say this is the nicest. I have taken a lady under my wing who doesn't have any visitors, and I'm now the main contact regarding her welfare. The staff are caring and respectful, the meals are good and tasty, and have a home cooked appearance. I have a good relationship with the staff and can say the staff retention is good, which I feel is a good sign. My only negative observation is that often, when staff are on a break that there is a staff shortage. The home is clean, well kept and never smells.

There were always activities and the music/therapy was particularly special, seeing the residents respond and join in where they could was beautiful.

Every member of staff was helpful, pleasant and accommodating. They went out of their way to assist us with my mother. With the excellent service they gave, we will not hesitate to use them again.

The team looked after our mother for her end of-life-care and we can only say how thankful and grateful we are to them . Their care was exemplary in a complex situation both for our mother and us. Always present if needed and across the whole team thoughtful and kind in every interaction . Nothing was too much trouble and we could see this extended to all the residents. With lovely open country views and a homely feel Cedar Lodge is quite different to the more corporate style care homes we were more familiar with.

The home is clearly well managed and communication between the team members is excellent.

I would fully recommend Cedar Lodge to anyone looking for a caring, professional home for their loved ones. We looked around quite a few in the area and this one stood out, visible carers, caring for Residents, even one of the cleaners stopped when we looked around and said hello to us. It is such a welcoming place. Very clean, organised and well run. The Manager is very active and visible there, she runs this as a home from home, and that they are one big happy family. All the Staff are welcoming and friendly and have the patience of Saints. I spent quite a lot of time here with my Mum and never saw any thing negative. All staff were warm and caring. The majority of staff have worked there for years which is a lovely sign, there is a fabulous activities coordinator who had her parents in this care home, if that isn't enough of a recommendation that this is a trusted place for your loved ones to live. Visit and see for yourself, this is a lovely care home. Thank you all.

Cedar Lodge is a real home from home for my mum who has been a resident since February 2024. All the staff are like one big family, supportive of each other, supportive of the residents and there is a nurtured culture of respect. Everyone is treated as an individual and very well looked after, residents are encouraged to make decisions and choices. The safety policies are adhered to with room alarms and access & egress restrictions. Visiting mum here is great, we can have quality time together and most of all, I can tell how happy she is to be with the people who work at the home and look after her. The home has recently completed refurbishment works for a new heating system plus facilities and has newly decorated rooms and carpets. I am very grateful to have found this place for mom and rate this care home as excellent.
