Review from Christine H (Sister of Resident) published on 3 May 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was delighted with the change in my brother after his transfer to Cedar Court Nursing Home. I was happy to see him up and obviously less agitated. The staff have worked hard to improve his general well-being and I can't thank them enough. I live a great distance away and therefore rely on the staff
totally. I am kept well informed and they are lovely when I get down to visit. I have been very happy to leave my brother in their care this past year. Thanks.
Reply from Mandy Crowton, Executive Assistant at Cedar Court Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review Christine. The Cedar family take pride in caring and ensuring everyone is settled and happy, caring is everything to us.

Having made the decision to remove my mother from a brand new dementia home in our local vicinity we were recommended Cedar Court Nursing Home. The manager conducted us around Cedar Court to see all their facilities and to meet staff. The home was clean and homely and all the staff were very friendly.
Although the home was fifty minutes away we made the decision to take Mum there. Mum has settled in well. Her anxiety levels have dropped tremendously and her physical care is far, far better. Last year she was a frightened old lady of 99, badly bruised by mishandling and now she’s much calmer. The staff are bright and cheerful and I am confident Mum’s welfare is well catered for.
Reply from Mandy Crowton, Executive Assistant at Cedar Court Nursing HomeSo lovely of you to take the time to leave a review for us at Cedar Court. Thank you from the home manager and all the team, it really does mean so much as caring is everything.

My mother has always received the very best care and attention during her stay. Although she has been in bed the whole time, she has and never has had, any breakdown of her skin which is truly remarkable given that she is now over 100 years of age, which is a testament to the quality of care she receives.

My wife has been a resident since 2015 and all the staff have been and still are brilliant. Always there to help and very friendly. I can't speak too highly of the staff. I just hope the owners realise what good and loyal staff they employ. I sometimes feel that they are under-appreciated by the management.

I am very happy with my mother's care at Cedar Court. She is well looked after. The care staff are very well trained and are excellent with the help they give my mother. The care staff and manager/sister in charge are wonderful and will talk to me about any concerns they have about my mother's situation
from day to day.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My first visit to the care home today, a bit difficult to find. I think a better postcode would help with the sat nav that guided me to a muddy field. After a call to the care home, suitable instructions were given, maybe they could be added to the website. A warm welcome was given to me on arrival.
This is a clean secure place, set in very nice surroundings.

Our Mum has been a resident at Cedar Court for two years, and despite ongoing deterioration and progression of Alzheimer's and vascular dementia, her dignity has always been maintained, and as a family, we are happy with the care Mum receives. When we have raised any concerns, these have been addressed
promptly with reassurance, and satisfactory outcomes. The staff are approachable and listen; staff communicate with family to update of any changes to Mum's condition.

Review from Carmen S (Wife of Resident) published on 12 July 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Over the last 18 months, I have noticed a big improvement in every area. The staff are better informed and trained. They are always available to talk to and listen to any concerns. My husband needs constant care of a 1:1 and these staff are much improved. I used to have to explain his condition other
than dementia, but now they are always well informed. Permanent nursing staff have made a huge difference. Not only in their professionalism and competence but are also extremely compassionate. The food is of a better standard with a variety of choices on offer. With the employment of a full-time activities person, the atmosphere is good and the residents are generally encouraged and are offered a range of different things to do. My overall assessment is one of a well-run unit.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Surprised that Mum's pillowcase was torn. Longe is very smelly. We think they are understaffed as there aren't any carers on duty in the longe. In fact, we witnessed a fall recently and no-one was there. That said, the majority of staff are friendly, caring and seem to be knowledgeable and confident
as regards their duties. However, a couple of the staff are very abrupt and rude, one is a senior member of staff!! Which is the reason for our poor review.

Carers, cleaners, nurses and receptionists have all been very patient with this family! They all certainly know what they are doing and to a high standard - we had a few hiccups to start with but head nurses have been very supportive of our dilemma. Dad is very well cared for; so well in fact that I
couldn't envisage him anywhere else. I made a good choice for him.

This is the best care home my sister has been in, and she is well looked after. The staff are very professional, and they have the experience to deal with her behaviour.
There are activities for the residents to do and there is a nice community. It would be helpful if there were more trips out.

My sister and I, as with so many other relatives, were desperately worried about finding the best nursing home for mum. With Cedar Court we have got the best. We now know that mum is secure happy and has outstanding care. Cedar Court is a bright, caring home. The reception staff have a very sunny approach,
the carers are superb, always confident and yet relaxed.


The manager is always on hand to help with any questions. The activities are fun and yet designed for all residents. We leave each visit knowing that mum could not be in a better place. Many thanks to all.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.058)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.058) out of 10 for Cedar Court Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 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 4.258 for Cedar Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (64 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (23 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 151 Ratings = 4.258
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cedar Court Nursing Home is based on 12 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.8
    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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 12 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.

Louise Jellibi

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2024

I started off my career in the care industry as a domiciliary care worker almost 20 years ago, before changing to work in residential care. This is where I found my passion for working with people with mental health difficulties and dementia. I have worked my way from care assistant to registered manager. I feel a sense of pride when I have helped someone achieve something, no matter how big or small this may be. The smile on residents' faces means so much. I have faced many challenges throughout my career, but have always battled through to achieve the best outcomes for people, both staff and residents. I hope to inspire my staff to aim high and develop their career in the same way that I have. This is more than just a job to me.


We are more than a Nursing Home; we are a family unit. I have an amazing team to support me, and together we can make such a difference to people’s lives.
