Nestled in the beautiful countryside between Henley-in-Arden and Stratford-upon-Avon, MHA Cedar Lodge provides specialist dementia, nursing and residential care for 47 residents. The home is surrounded by scenic landscapes and also within easy reach of local attractions such as Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and the tranquil River Avon. The home features secure gardens, where residents can enjoy fresh air and outdoor activities in a safe environment.
The gardens at Cedar Lodge play an integral role in daily life, offering residents the opportunity to engage in a range of outdoor activities, from tending to rose bushes and harvesting apples to simply enjoying the fresh air. A peaceful memorial garden provides families with a space to honour their loved ones, while the sensory garden, filled with vibrant flowers and aromatic herbs, is a favourite spot for relaxation and creativity.
The home offers personalised dementia care with activities designed to engage and uplift, such as music therapy, interactive "magic tables," and robotic pets. The weekly multi-faith services, led by the chaplain, provide spiritual support and foster a sense of community. The dedicated staff, many with over a decade of experience, are known for their compassion and expertise. Residents enjoy a wide range of activities, including arts and crafts, armchair exercises, baking, and lively quizzes.
Cedar Lodge provides a reassuringly familiar and homely setting where residents feel connected, comfortable, and cared for every day. Whether you’re searching for yourself or a loved one, for short stays or dementia, nursing or residential care, the team at Cedar Lodge are here to help.

Since moving into the home Mum has had the best care. The staff are always very helpful and caring. Mum has really brightened up since being there. The home has a very high standard of cleanliness, entertainment, meals and care. I feel very happy knowing that Mum is receiving the best care possible.

Since mom came into Cedar Lodge. She has been loved and cared for. We have always been well informed of mom's care and we have always been welcomed and felt part of the family here in which we believe is important. My mom is openly loved and respected and I go away from Cedar Lodge feeling happy and confident. Mom knows the staff and never feels to me like she is anywhere but comfortable and happy and in her own home.

He was a little agitated and upset for first few weeks understandably, but every member of staff, manager and office staff, domestic and catering, activities coordinators and especially the carers and nurses have been exceptional in their care and concern for my husband all through his stay. It has made a hard time for him and his family, a lot easier to bear, especially the last few weeks of his life.
Thank you to you all.

Having no near relatives, living alone, being 91, I put myself in this care home of choice, after a hip fracture repair in December 2018. I am very content here, the place is spotless, the staff generally kind and helpful. My only complaint is, having to wait a long time after dining room meals to be taken back to your room.
Thank you for the kind words and the feedback, I would like to reassure you that the feedback regarding the dining experience has been passed onto the team for you. The team will endeavour to assist you back to your room when you would like to go.

Our mother spent the last month of her life at Cedar Lodge as soon as we were welcomed to view the home we knew it was the right place. She was cared for with great kindness by all the staff and she was treated with respect and dignity throughout her short stay. The atmosphere at Cedar Lodge is always calm and caring. It was a great help to us to know that she received kind and extremely professional care.

Sadly, my father died recently. His end of life care was exemplary and the staff helped me and the rest of the family through a difficult time.

My dearest friend moved into Cedar Lodge in August of this year and was made welcome from day one, all the staff are so caring and attentive to her needs and truly do go above and beyond every day to make her feel happy and contented, the food is amazing and she has regained her appetite which is so lovely to see.
Thank you for your kind words, it is always nice for our staff to hear. Thank you.
My mother in law has been with Cedar Lodge just a few weeks but the improvement in her general well being is amazing. She is like a different person than she was a short time ago. She is smiling and interacting with other residents and is a joy to see. We are extremely glad that she is now here.

My step-great grandmother has been staying in this care home since July 2018. I am extremely pleased with the care she is being given.

My grandmother has been staying at the care home since the summer and has been very well looked after. So pleased with how well she's been treated and how nice all the staff are. Highly recommend!

Dad has lived with dementia for several years and up until recently has been cared for by my mum at home... not always easy. He has been in two other care homes since the beginning of 2018 before finally settling at Cedar Lodge - hopefully, the place he will be able to call his forever home. Whilst its early days for him here, so far we have been shown nothing but support and high quality, friendly care. For the first time in years, mum has been able to have a 'day off' from visiting dad, as she, at last, feels he is somewhere where he is truly well looked after. The staff are kind and always have a smile and he is encouraged to be involved in the music therapy, which he loves. He has also been hugely supported by the chaplain which is so important to both mum and dad. So far, so good!! This care home really does feel like 'home'.
Thank you for your review. I am delighted you feel your Dad is truly well looked after. I will share your lovely words with the team.
My great grandma moved to Cedar Lodge in July 2018, on the day she arrived she was met by warm, welcoming staff who couldn't do enough for her and still to this day the staff go above and beyond to make sure that my great grandma is happy and content.

Thank you for your lovely comments, it is always inspiring to our staff when they see such positive feedback.
I visit Cedar Lodge at least 3 times a week. I am always greeted with a smile from admin, always asked if I need anything. The home is so homely and cosy, very clean, the food is always amazing. The time to get to know my relative and what they like, always trips out and activities.

My in-laws moved to Cedar Lodge around 10 weeks ago and I just cannot recommend this home enough. They genuinely care about the residents and go the extra mile and enabled my in-laws ( a 91 year old and 86 year old) to renew their vows on the day of the Royal Wedding on site. Staff came in on their day off, cake was baked (They have been married 67 years!) There were tears etc. Words aren't enough for gratitude.
Superb, friendly home. They genuinely try to make it feel like a home. Staff are considerate and always try to help.
It is very challenging to place someone you love in such a degree of care, but at Cedar Lodge, you feel the decision was correct and will help my father manage his slide into loss...
Superb, friendly home. They genuinely try to make it feel like a home. Staff are considerate and always try to help.
It is very challenging to place someone you love in such a degree of care, but at Cedar Lodge, you feel the decision was correct and will help my father manage his slide into loss of limb use, loss of facilities. Where we only have death in the future, they help us bring laughter and humanity.
Thank you for putting your trust in our Cedar Lodge family. Your kind and thoughtful words really give that added boost to our staff.
Despite mums advanced dementia she is always calm and well cared for.

Despite mums advanced dementia she is always calm and well cared for.
Well done Cedar Lodge I am very grateful for her excellent care which means I have no worries that she will be treated with dignity as she approaches 104 years.
It is great to hear that you feel that your mum is being treated with dignity.
I am sure that the staff team will be delighted to hear such positive comments.
