Cedars Bourne is a spacious and beautiful care home in the scenic market town of Bourne, Lincolnshire, surrounded by mature gardens with views of The Bourne Abbey Church. The Cedars home offers high quality residential and nursing care in a warm and friendly environment. With picturesque grounds the meandering Bourne Eau river flows through the garden and there is a sheltered decking area, which is perfect for outdoor socialising and enjoying the garden.
The Cedars offers Residential and Nursing care which is 24-hour, long-term care offered in a care home. The Cedars care home offers a safe place for elderly people, who are looked after according to their needs, such as help with washing, mobility, medication and medical needs. The Cedars is designed to be homely, with the opportunity to take up hobbies, enjoy regular activities, and facilitate older people in living meaningful lives. Each individual is treated as such, and has a tailored care plan inclusive of their individual dietary requirements, hobbies and life stories. Care homes are very much a community within themselves, and the opportunities for socialisation and group activities are hugely valuable in helping to combat loneliness. Families of residents can also have peace of mind that their loved one is well cared for, and in a sociable and enriching environment. Respite care offers a break from the day-to-day care routine, with a change of scenery, the opportunity for socialisation and new experiences, while providing a seamless continuity of care.
Spacious lounges, dining rooms and quiet areas are situated in each wing of the home. Trained chefs cook a variety of nutritious and tasty meals to provide residents with appealing daily menus, with personal preferences and individual dietary requirements always being considered.

I attended the Summer bbq, yesterday @ the Cedars, and was extremely impressed with the effort put in by all of the staff regardless of position. The food, drink and hospitality along with the care of the residents and guests were second to none and a very enjoyable afternoon was had by all. I'm a huge advocate for this care home as all of my experiences over the years have been 10/10 the staff are like family to my Mother and friends with myself. Beautiful surroundings & gardens

I am just about to start my 4th year as a permanent resident at The Cedars Care Home Bourne. Before this I came in regularly for respite, when my daughter went on holiday I always called it my second home and when the time was right The Cedars would become my permanent home. I cannot Fault the Cedars in anyway. Staff are kind caring and supportive and always ready to help. The food is nice with large portions. Activities and trips out are Amazing! but you are not pressured into joining in, if You don't feel able to.
Thank you

There was plenty of social activities available but my dad chose not to attend and preferred to spend time in his room, his choice was respected.
The environment has very high standards of cleanliness and was always welcoming.
My dad particularly enjoyed the food at the Cedars he said there was a plenty available and always a good choice.
A big thanks to all the team for the care they gave him we will always be grateful.

My mother moved into The Cedars in October 2025. Since day 1 all staff have been caring, professional and extremely helpful. Her room is clean spacious and welcoming with an ensuite bathroom. The food is of a good standard with a wide variety of nutritious meals. The activities during the days are wide and varied and all residents where possible are included. I would without hesitation recommend The Cedars to family and friends. Thank you 5 stars.

Our introduction to the home was during difficult circumstances. A father who had days to live and a mother who could no longer care for herself. The amount of work the home took on not only to ensure their new residents were safe and received all the care they needed, but the respect, clarity and help they extended to us as a family helped more than they could possibly know. After Dad passed away the help mum received and is still receiving is in my view utter perfection. The staff across all departments are so utterly normal and switched on. I'm wondering if they're grooming us as future residents!

The care provided by the staff was excellent at all times. However, for most of the time my husband stayed at The Cedars, he was not able to eat the meals provided because they were too bland. I ended up taking in Heiz Soups and roasted chicken to ensure that he does have something to...
However, during December a new chef was appointed and the meals did improve dramatically.

The Cedars is an outstanding home from home. The staff all value every aspect of my Fathers life, his interactions with his family and friends, making sure everyone feels welcomed and well catered for. The activities are enriching and engaging with a special team who think outside the box in the best interests of the residents, including celebrating birthdays, anniversaries & much more. The team focus on inclusion, well-being and support. Every team member wants to help every resident and visitor have a great experience from friendly smiles and hello's to sharing stories of the day. It is always incredible clean and tidy, the garden space is well kept (2 acres is a lot to take care of!) with lots of outside seating in sunny and shady spots. My Dad's room is very homely, as he wants it and being able to use a special family / visitor lounge for private meetings and functions is such a bonus along with 2 other lounges, restaurant area, so much space to enjoy. Dad loves it here!

My wife had Glioblastoma and was bed bound for the whole of her 7 month stay at the Cedars. The care she received was first class throughout. We could not fault it at all. Not only were her carers fantastic but the nurses as well. Although she was unable to speak very much, the staff became expert in anticipating her every need. She was so grateful to all the staff as I was together with family members. Nothing more could have been done to make her life better. Thank you so much.

The Cedars is always clean and tidy and free from the usual Residential home smells.
Ideas from the family. During many visits to Cedars, we have seen residents confused about where they are and where their room is. Other Care facilities I've visited overcome this by distinguishing the corridors using a different colour palette or by theming the artwork along each corridor. In these places, I have also seen Resident's room doors with a pinboard or similar on them where names, photographs, grandchildren's artwork, etc can be placed so Residents find it easier to locate their room. My Mum and her friends also moan about the artwork on the walls. They enjoy the art and imagery from the local area which spark memories and the retelling of them. But for the rest they describe it as dull and pointless. Perhaps more local photos, artwork created by the residents or local artists, colourful scenes of nature and wildlife?
My nieces visited my Mum recently and described the interior as 'like walking into a hotel'.

I moved in in March, was very emotional, scared but from the start, all staff were wonderful, supportive, caring, understanding and professional. I have now settled, staff are still the above and we have a wonderful rapport but I find are aware and always seem to nothing anything out of the...
The medical team have worked so hard to sort out issues and I definitely feel in better health than before I came here.
The entertainment is varied, some brilliant, some not for me but they are not just catering for me.
I have a wonderful, big room and wet room but I do see some of the other rooms, they are small and poorly decorated and claustrophobic.
I find the food portions small and I have been told to ask for more but a bit reticent. Maybe they should ask when serving. Also, for me, far too many chips, would welcome an alternative to chips.

However, the most impressive aspect was the attitude of all the staff. They were so welcoming and helpful, and nothing was too much trouble. They went to great lengths to make my aunt feel at home, and I cannot thank them enough for trying so hard in the face of much opposition.

Hello, my name is Lisa, and I am the Activities Assistant here at The Cedars in Bourne. I moved from Kent to Lincolnshire and joined the team here in 2023. I have a background in theatre, animation and owning my own soft furnishings company, and I enjoy bringing all these qualities with me to share with our residents. I am passionate and enthusiastic about enriching all our residents' quality of life with person-centred activities.
As the Activities Assistant, my focus is learning about each of our residents' likes and dislikes, interests and hobbies and supporting them to remain receptive and active, in addition to supporting them to stretch themselves and try new things. I help organise activities to stimulate the mind, body and soul in an enjoyable, comfortable way. My aim is to diversify and increase activities, ensuring that there is something for everyone, but I guess my main objective is to enjoy each day with our residents and have fun as I have found in my short time here, it is what brings the most joy!

I have received such a warm welcome from everyone, and have enjoyed engaging and interacting with all the lovely residents. This is my first time working front of house in a care home setting, but I'm eager to learn and feel this will be an exciting opportunity for me.
My role as admin assistant involves such a variety of tasks that every day is different, keeping me involved with visitors, residents and supporting all my colleagues in any way I can, making it a great experience and a very fulfilling role.
Outside of work I enjoy being with my family and friends and also getting creative with arts and crafts.

Hi, my name is Kerry, and I am a senior carer, joining the team in June 2025. My role can vary from one shift to the next, which can be both challenging and rewarding. I am relatively new to working on nights, having always worked as a day senior. I love seeing all aspects of the care role and to learn and testing my skills every day.
As a senior carer, it is my responsibility to support the nurse in charge and help lead a team of carers to deliver person-centred care to our residents. Some of my duties include supporting the residents with their nighttime routines, ensuring they have their nighttime medication in a timely manner, completing regular well-being checks to ensure their safety, supporting with any postfall observations, managing emergency situations, and regularly reviewing resident support plans: whatever needs to be done, I can do! I especially love helping with tissue viability and wound care.
My hobbies include gardening, walking our dogs and floristry.

Outside of work I enjoy walking on gorgeous Norfolk beaches, particularly when the walk finishes in a tearoom with great tea & cakes!
I’m very close to family & enjoy Sunday meals and visiting local pubs to enjoy fine wine and delicious food.

Pauline is a very active member of The Cedars. An ex care-assistant; she has a unique insight into life in a care home, both as an employee and as a resident. Pauline will act as the voice for our residents, and is keen to help and support wherever she can in order to ensure that everyone receives the enriching, caring and fulfilling experience that they expect. She says: ‘I am particularly interested in helping new people and showing them the ropes. It can be quite daunting coming into an environment you don’t know or understand’.

Firstly, I feel a real sense of privilege to be asked to step into this role. To support families who choose The Cedars as the home for their loved one or indeed for themselves as it really is a special place to be. A team that truly respects it is the 'home' for each and every resident, a place for their family to visit in the same way their family home was.
My Dad, Colin Norman has been in The Cedars since June 2023. When searching for the best home for him The Cedars stood out from the crowd. From Becky calling to introduce herself and offering to meet with me on a weekend, her day off... This spoke volumes to me and Becky still offers amazing support!
The one outstanding element for us as a family is how Dad's welfare is top priority, including enabling him to sit in reception, thus interacting with all the wonderful staff and visitors in a way that makes his world a happy place!
Having been on this journey over the past 8 years, full time for the past 5 years with Colin, I would like to support other families on their journey in any way I can. If I cannot help I will do my best alongside all the team at Cedars to direct you to pathways and other professionals that can.
