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.

Initially, my mum came for respite care but sadly her health deteriorated which then meant that she needed to become a permanent resident of the Cedars. From pre-and-post decorative updates the home presents itself as being friendly; with a homely feel and this is a reflection of the kind and caring staff, and some certainly go that extra mile. When there has been an issue it has been addressed with immediate effect and the Manager herself openly invites feedback. Regarding food from my observations, it appears to be satisfactory and hopefully, residents can now enjoy some form of salad dressing or be prompted that there is some available - alas with dementia unless visibly evident my mum ends up going without. Just a minor point but it's what I know she enjoys. I know that the staff are sometimes stretched but would like to thank them for their kindness. As a relative and previous full-time carer for my mum, I'm reassured in knowing that my mum's needs are met.
Thank you so much for your kind words about The Cedars, our care staff and our food. We welcome feedback and are pleased you have found us to be friendly, homely, kind and caring, as well as responsive when you discussed your Mum’s care with us. I have reminded our hospitality team to offer dressing with salads. It is a pleasure to care for your Mum. Thank you.

However, I was more than pleasantly surprised. The staff at The Cedars are excellent in all respects, they are so polite, extremely professional and most of all, the support and care that they give to my wife is second to none, in fact, it is exemplary. All I wanted was peace of mind, knowing that when I am not by her side my wife is being made comfortable and cared for by an excellent team who always put her needs first.
Sending a big thank you to all the staff at The Cedars, because of you I am able to sleep at night.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We are so grateful for your kind words. The team are thrilled to hear such wonderful praise.
All the staff are caring and often go beyond their remit helping my husband to settle in. It is a lovely care home, putting on different activities for the residents. The food is excellent and varied.

Upon initial arrival, I was aware of how long call bells were ringing. I visited after two weeks and Mum had not had a shower or bath, just a bed wash. Her hands and feet smelled like cheese. After four weeks the same issue, no deep cleaning of Mum and the home had submitted their notice as they could not cope with the needs of my mother's MND.
After four weeks, medications were not fully given, they did not understand the complexity, monitoring and administering the many medications. I would Skype Mum and observe her choking on secretions and have to call the home to help, declined suction, not given fluids when she felt sick and safeguarding issues raised.

Thank you for your review and feedback and I am sorry we have not met the standards you expected for your mother. We aim to deliver the best possible care at all times and I have discussed your feedback with The Cedars Bourne team. For all of our residents we carry out regular assessments of their care needs and sometimes these change. It is our duty to ensure our residents are in the care environment most suited to their needs at all times. Thank you again for your feedback and best wishes to you and your family.
Covid restrictions are closely adhered to; staff are friendly, courteous, helpful. Staff appear very busy and tend to disappear but the call-bell was answered in a timely manner. Activities and mealtimes were not witnessed during my visits, therefore not rated.

It was very difficult putting my mum in a home as she has complex nursing needs, but she has been treated so well, she loves it in The Cedars. The staff are all outstanding and the level of nursing care, second to none. We are both overwhelmed with the kindness and respect we have both been shown.

Thank you for your high praise. We are delighted your mother's move to The Cedars in Bourne has provided the level of care, nursing and lifestyle that we always aim to provide. We are pleased that it has also given peace of mind to you and your family.
My Mum has been in Cedars since May 2019. She has been very happy and that makes me happy. The staff are excellent and treat Mum very well. Nothing is too much trouble for anyone. Everyone is very welcoming and polite.

Thank you for the lovely review which I will pass on to the team. We are so pleased to be able to accommodate the bedroom visits now which I know has made such a big difference and this is heartwarming to see.

Such a wonderful team. The staff have cared for my friend extremely well and are always quick to adjust to her changing needs and care. Even after her passing, they continued to help and offer support in the difficult days afterwards. I have enjoyed visiting, using the new visiting pod and the gardens are tranquil and well kept. Everyone there have been very helpful and a big support when things get difficult. I cannot praise them enough. Many thanks in these difficult times.
Thank you so much for the lovely review. It has been an absolute pleasure looking after your close friend and I am pleased you were able to use our adapted visiting suite to see one another. I will pass on your kind words to all the team, they are very much appreciated.
My sister suffers from dementia but due to covid 19 visiting has been once a week and is distanced. It is now indoors and screened. My sister is very content and is well cared for. The carers are a delight as is the manager and her team.

Thank you for your lovely review. We are all really excited about our new suite and the positive impact it has for our residents, families and visitors. I am so pleased you've had a wonderful visit.
My Aunt is in The Cedars, I consulted many people before choosing The Cedars, The Cedars is definitely a 5-star establishment in every way and believe my Aunt is unaware of how lucky she is. I would wholeheartedly recommend your establishment to anyone.

I visited this home prior to COVID-19 and with both the old and new management team to see my old friend’s mum, my friend and I have noticed a positive difference in the feel of the home. The residents appeared well cared for and staff were attentive. It is heartwarming to know my friend can still keep in touch with their mum via Skype, FaceTime and even garden visits. We have regular updates from our friends about their mum and that she is keeping her spirits up in the home. I look forward to being able to visit again soon!
Thank you so much for your review. We are so pleased to hear you are receiving regular, positive updates.

All staff in the home, whatever their role, have shown that they have my relative's best interests at heart. They interact with her in a professional, caring, empathetic and friendly way. They are always happy to stop and chat with her visitors. They remember us and we always feel welcome whether we are expected or not. Before Covid-19 restricted events, there was always a full programme of activities and my relative was encouraged to participate, during this period some activities have been maintained as far as possible. During the Covid-19 period they have acted very professionally and have implemented ways in which we can see and chat to our relative using video calls or garden visits.
Thank you for such a wonderful review. It's great to hear such positive feedback. I will be sharing your review with my team who I know will be delighted to hear how happy you are, with the positive praise you have given. Thank you.
My wife has been at the Cedars for over 3-years, and I and my family, have been extremely pleased with the Cedars and the standard of care and professionalism is excellent. We have nothing to compare the Cedars with because this is the only care home we have used. It is a very well established home...
If you are lucky enough to obtain a room, you will not be disappointed.
Thank you for your wonderful review. We are so pleased to hear such great feedback. The team will be very proud to hear such encouraging praise.

On a practical basis, she has a lovely room, with personal belongings carefully arranged.
She is well cared for and very well fed!
There are good activities and opportunities for engagement with others.
Most importantly - she sees the staff as her friends - always dropping by to have a chat and make her smile.
She is, I believe, happy living at The Cedars - which she regards as a Hotel!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Our team will be delighted to hear such positive words.

My mum was a resident of the Cedars for a short time, but from the moment it was known she would be going there, the manager rang me and kept me informed every step of the way as with Covid-19 going on I could not take or see my mum. It was the best place for my mum to have been with their nursing and care staff and she was well looked after. I cannot thank the manager and her staff enough for all they have done for Mum, they are a brilliant team and I would have no hesitation in recommending The Cedars to anyone.
Thank you for a lovely review, the team are working hard to help residents stay connected. They will be overjoyed to hear your kind words.
Our very dear aunt has been at The Cedars for some time. When she went there, she was very down and had no interest in much. Since making The Cedars her home, her improvement has been amazing, she now joins in with the activities and is always happy. I can only put this down to the wonderful care...
During this difficult time when we cannot visit, the home has made it possible for us to speak to our aunt via video. The Cedars have made the safety and wellbeing of the residents during the pandemic their number one priority, we can never thank them enough.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. The team will be delighted to receive such positive comments. Video calling has been a real success and enabled our residents to remain connected with their loved ones.

My Aunt has been resident at The Cedars for two and a half years following a serious road traffic collision with a car whilst crossing the road. After hospitalisation for several weeks, she moved to The Cedars at her request. The staff were superb in welcoming her and nursing her back to good health. She recently had her 95th birthday but no one from family or friends could attend due to the current Coronavirus situation. The staff made up for her not seeing family by making her day very special, in spite of the pressure they are currently under. My Aunt is full of praise for the Home Manager and her team for the way she is being cared for, particularly at this time. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home.
Thank you for your lovely words. The team will be delighted to hear your praise. The team are doing an outstanding job in this current situation and praise like yours means the world. Thank you.

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.

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.
