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.

My Mum has been on respite care for 2 weeks. Mum was feeling very unwell and was in desperate need of nursing care. The General Manager, came out to the house at short notice to assess Mum and reassured us that The Cedars could help by monitoring and assessing her medication and supporting her with 24-hour care. They also picked up that Mum had a water infection and sought the appropriate treatment immediately. We cannot thank them enough for all the care and compassion they have delivered. It is not to be understated how much confidence and peace of mind we have gained as a family knowing Mum was in exactly the best place possible. A huge thank you to the manager and all her fabulous team.
Thank you for your lovely review, we value your feedback which helps us to continually improve our service. Thank you for your positive comments which I will pass on to the team, they will be delighted to hear your positive feedback.

My wife was cared for diligently and well by carers who were friendly, helpful and treated her with sensitivity, respect and kindness. The reception area, during my daily visits, was always a welcoming space with friendly conversation. Residents spending time in the reception/lounge area were treated very kindly and supportive, with a 'family' feel. The general manager was also supportive and kind to me. Nursing care was particularly good.

The staff, the meals and activities are excellent. Very good welcome and introduction. Unfortunately, the overall experience let them down due to what we considered a lack of attention to detail in the room. Silly things that should have been checked prior to admittance - the pull cord on the bed light broken, and could not be reached, no plug in the basin. The remote control only worked if standing directly in front of the TV. Maybe needed new batteries or just poor quality? The remote was sellotaped which added to the air of being a "used room" as did the hole in the bathroom door! Very annoying constant sound of (assumed) call alarms - never quiet when we visited, not an impressive 1st impression for despite care - assumed would be better.

From the minute we knocked on the door (unannounced) at The Cedars, I felt a weight had been lifted. My mother is there for respite (and possibly longer) care. The transfer from the hospital to The Cedars was seamless. The home has such a warm, welcoming and open feel to it. I feel the staff go "the extra mile" and I have nothing but praise and respect for them. It's early days for my mother but I do feel happy and reassured that she is in very safe hands. Thank you to the manager and all your fabulous staff.

The care given to my father whilst he was at The Cedars Care Home, was excellent. From the moment that he was admitted to the home, to when he left, which was sadly due to deterioration in his health, was of a very high standard. The manager of the home assisted me and my sister throughout to ensure that he was cared for and that his wishes were met. The staff were all professional in carrying out their duties and they would communicate with me as deemed necessary, particularly when he became ill. I highly recommend this nursing home and would not hesitate to send any relative there again.

My father was only at The Cedars for a short time; I wish he had been there all the time following his discharge from the hospital. The staff treated him with the greatest respect and compassion. His nursing care was excellent, and I was always confident that his needs would be met and any symptoms managed to allow him to remain in comfort. The Cedars has a lovely homely feel, the staff always made us feel very welcome, and they really look after the well-being of their residents. Although my father was on a restricted diet, I could see that the food on offer was varied and of good quality, plus the complimentary cakes in the cafe were always really tasty! He wasn't able to join in any of the activities (and there are many on offer), but the staff still made the effort to get to know him as a person. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend The Cedars to anyone.

My father came to The Cedars Care Home at the beginning of March after spending nearly 6 weeks in the hospital which physically done him no good. The first couple of weeks was a hard transition for him but he has now settled in nicely and becoming more mobile and joining in the activities with the great care the staff are giving him. He is really happy and would give The Cedars a high recommendation.
Thank you for your lovely review, we are so pleased your father has settled into the Cedars so well. Our team will be delighted to hear your kind words.

I really enjoyed my stay at The Cedars Care Home. All the staff were really cheerful and helpful and greeted everybody by their name. There are many beautiful lounges beautifully decorated, with many seats and a wonderful view of the gardens; residents were allowed in the gardens with staff to keep them safe. The menu was changed every day with a vegetarian meal also. The breakfast was a full English, porridge or cereal. The staff always made sure that you had your tablets. On Easter Sunday, we were all given an Easter Egg; I thought this was lovely.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. The staff were overjoyed to hear your lovely words.

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!

Hi, I'm Lizzy Satchwell, I joined the team here at The Cedars Care Home in February 2026 as Admin Assistant.
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.

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.
