Cedar Lodge

The wonderful staff at MHA Cedar Lodge cared for my dad with such great respect, kindness and affection for the last six months of his life. Their expertise in the field of dementia care was outstanding and we are so grateful for their professionalism and support (for dad and our family). We will miss coming to visit so regularly.

The quality and competence of care staff under the leadership are amazing. Nothing is too much trouble, the care my dad receives is not just excellent but also very personal. He is in the best of hands, they work hard and with care. Couldn't ask for much more, thanks so much.

Nurses were collaborative - after waking me at 10.00, I asked for evening pills at 8.00 they were happy to do this.

I was also impressed with all the online/digital forms I could complete as many still require handwritten ones! I could not recommend Cedar Lodge and their staff enough.

Thank you Cedar Lodge for giving me such special memories of my final hours with my mum.

Mum has been a resident at Cedar Lodge Care Home for a year. During that time there have been challenges due to her dementia. Staff have always looked after her with care and compassion. We are always kept informed, welcomed as visitors and feel part of the Cedar Lodge family.

All the staff and carers are pleasant and mainly helpful. Home is nice and kept clean.

Whole team are caring, professional, engaged with residents and family. Like many care homes, short-staffed and dependent on agency but MHA staff bear the burden and remain true to themselves, the residents and MHA. Sometimes difficult to observe agency staff and lack of knowledge and commitment. MHA should be proud and reward accordingly the staff at the care home. They are a credit to themselves and MHA. Hope MHA appreciate them.

Thanks.

How residents are cared for is second to none, the obvious attention to detail in ensuring their safety. The obvious caring side of the carers, although the visit in these times was surreal, every effort was made to make it feel normal.

My dear mother went to Cedar Lodge in July this year as her husband had died and she could not cope alone due to her dementia. She was so content at Cedar Lodge. Always smiling when I visited or called her on FaceTime. Despite Covid restrictions, the home made every effort to give me quality time with her. The staff are caring, kind and helpful. Their care is personal and thoughtful and they treat residents with respect for their dignity. Mother also loved the food. I could not have asked for better care for my mother in the last few months of her life.

Compassionate and thoughtful care for my late mother in challenging times. The staff are always professional and welcoming and give all residents and their families the support they need. Having permanent staff and not being reliant on agency personnel means that there is a family feel to Cedar Lodge and consequently it feels homely and comfortable.

I unreservedly recommend this home - it is outstanding and I am so glad that my mother was able to spend her final few months being cared for so well.

We cannot praise everyone at Cedar Lodge enough for what they do.

I have been very impressed with the manner in which the COVID lockdown has been handled. The staff have been dedicated under very trying conditions. They are to be commended.

I am and always have been very happy with the care my wife receives from "Cedar Lodge" very caring staff and management.

I would also like to say that they have very supportive GP care.

Everyone at Cedar Lodge is kind and thoughtful, caring and compassionate. My parents have both been at Cedar Lodge for over two years and their care has always been amazing. During this awful time of not being able to visit, I have been reassured by telephone calls and zoom calls. My parents could not be anywhere better in the country - the staff are simply amazing. The care and consideration given to both my parents is second to none. I am eternally grateful for everything the staff do.

The care provided to my mother at Cedar Lodge is and has been exceptional. By next autumn, she will have been a resident for six years and for the whole of this time, the staff have been attentive, caring and professional. The facilities are very good as are the activities provided to residents. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cedar Lodge to anyone looking for a safe and caring environment for an elderly resident with dementia or Alzheimers.

Also, like the way one can live one's own life and not forced into activities or particular routines.
