My dad has been at Cedar Court after searching for the best Residential Care Home.
The manageress is not only understanding of residents needs, but also their families.
The manageress and her team work tirelessly to not only support the residents but their families also.
Highly recommend.

My sister in law was taken into Cedar Court dementia unit last July. I have visited several times between July 2020 and June 2021. I have found all the staff to be very friendly and helpful. I was particularly impressed with an anniversary tea that they surprised the family with, it was a very touching
moment and appreciated by all the relatives involved.

My aunt was admitted into the care home after a short stay in hospital in January, she has dementia and all the staff were and still are amazing, so caring, they are keeping me informed on my aunts individual care on a regular basis, especially difficult during the pandemic. I would highly recommend
this care home and it is in a lovely location.

Review from Lisa B (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Back at the end of July, I was given the heartbreaking news that my dad was at the end stages of dementia! The hardest decision I have ever had to make was to put him into palliative care! The hospital told me he only had weeks and wanted to get him somewhere comfortable to see him through his last
few days/weeks!
Dad was moved to Cedar Court dementia unit. The first couple of weeks were very sad, he looked very poorly. But slowly and surely Dad has improved! I believe the staff have given him the time and support that he so needed, and it’s quite clear that he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon!
Well done Cedar Court, my dad seams happy and settled and is almost walking again! You have given him the time and patience and made him realise that his time here is not over!
We, as a family, are so great full for giving us more time with him, and give you 5 out of 5 for all that you do!
Keep up the good work!

In the time my husband has been in Cedar Court, 6 months I cannot fault the care and kindness that has been given to him and to me. With the pandemic affecting everyone in the home, everyone went that extra mile to protect themselves for the wellbeing of the residents and care workers. I cannot thank
everyone involved enough. A happy place to be in anytime.

Review from Keith S (Husband of Resident) published on 22 September 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have found all of the staff at Cedar Court Dementia Care Home extremely caring for my wife in what is a very difficult time for her, adjusting to life in a home following the rapid onset of dementia during lockdown. My wife has settled as well as can be expected and this, I feel, is due to the care
and attention of the carers and nurses attending to her needs.
Unfortunately, I haven't been allowed to go into the home as yet, due to COVID restrictions, but I have been allowed regular visits to the outside pod which is a good compromise in the circumstances. However, thanks to the wonders of modern technology, I have had a video walk around and the facilities and cleanliness look to be very good. My wife struggles with technology now but the staff have helped her make video calls on a number of occasions or replied to text messages on her behalf.
The home are always happy to discuss any concerns I have and are quick to contact me if they have any concerns.

My dad has been at Cedar Court Dementia Care Home for 4 years, the staff have always been very caring and very friendly. I'm confident that my dad receives the best care possible, they always ring me if they have any concerns about my dad. The rooms are lovely, the gardens outside are tranquil with
lots of wildlife around. I haven't a bad word to say about this care home, would recommend it to anyone.

I am extremely impressed by the way staff care for the residents. They treat them at all times with care, dignity, respect and good humour. It is a welcoming atmosphere for visitors. The rooms are good, the food is good. The manager is always willing to give her time to talk to us and we are very impressed

From my observations, the staff seem to be overworked. If more staff were employed individual residents could receive personal attention. If the staff were paid the living wage, it would attract more qualified staff and provide excellent care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband was a resident in the special unit of Cedar Court Dementia Care Home in Bretby View from August 2015 until he died in January 2018. I and our son and daughter cannot thank them enough. Their care and understanding of my husband's illness, Alzheimer's was outstanding. The fact that he could
not speak made his life very difficult but the staff were wonderful and learnt to understand and anticipate his moods and needs through his facial expressions and the noises that he was able to make. They talked to him, danced with him and included him in conversation. They treated him as an individual, with honest kindness and respect. In return he trusted them. Seeing how well he was being looked after made our lives much easier. His medical needs were met by outstanding nursing staff and a wonderful Doctors Surgery. Everyone being just as kind, friendly and supportive to us. I highly recommend the home to anyone and should I myself ever need such care, I and my family would be very happy for me to become a resident.

Our family is very pleased with all aspects of Cedar Court. The location is delightful and access very calming. The home is well maintained, clean and has very little of the aroma that permeates a lot of care homes. The staff are professional and extremely supportive. The quality of the meals is very
good as is the variety. Quality of care is excellent.

The management and care staff team provide a tailor made service for all of the residents. They are approachable and professional at all times and always happy to assist in any way that will enhance the quality of life of my mother-in-law. As a dementia patient she has been difficult at times but they
all seem to know just what to say and do to give her a second to none service. We as a family also receive care when needed and things are explained extremely well.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.817)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.817) out of 10 for Cedar Court Dementia Care Home 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.817 for Cedar Court Dementia Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 126 Ratings = 4.817
  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 Court Dementia Care Home is based on 11 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 11 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.

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 mean 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 aspire 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.
