Review from A K (Wife of Resident) published on 24 September 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

We most recently visited our relative within a visitor pod. We found this to be clean and well organised. Our relative is clearly well looked after and treated with respect and dignity. Staff friendly and welcoming.

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
with her professionalism.

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.
Reply from Kathryn Hilton, Administrator at Cedar Court Dementia Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to review our service, please feel free to speak to the Home Manager regarding any concerns you have. Please be assured we use a robust dependency tool for calculating the staffing levels, and these are well over the staffing levels you would find in most nursing homes. All of our team work incredibly hard to provide the best care to the people that live at Cedar Court DCH.

Review from Christine O (Wife of Resident) published on 21 February 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Very happy with the level of care given with what is quite a challenging case. All the staff give 100% dedication to my mum and other residents, and I feel confident she has the best level of care available. Management and staff are always available to support us 'as a family' with any problems we may
have.

My Father moved to Cedar Court November 2014 . What a fantastic place I would highly recommend sending your loved ones there. The care is beyond fantastic. Sadly he passed away last week, he was treated with utmost respect by all the staff. This place certainly knows what care means.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.258)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.258) 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 7 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 4.780 for Cedar Court Dementia Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (64 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.78
  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 4.478 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Cedar Court Dementia Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 9 = 0.778
  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.
