It's great to know mum is being looked after to a high standard at Cedrus and has been made to feel at home in not on only in her room and ward, but amongst the wider care home areas too. The staff are amazing are make sure she is having the best time, whether that's in the safety of home itself, or on any of the regular trips out she partakes in. It really is a weight off our shoulders know she is being look after to such a high standard and has been welcomed into the home like an important family member. The staff are not only professional in terms of work, but also warm, inviting and friendly to mum's family when we all visit too. A blessing for mum to be able to have this experience in her later years whilst suffering with dementia. Big thanks to the whole Cedrus Team x
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words Marc. It means the world to the whole Cedrus team to know that your mum feels at home, supported and included in all aspects of life here.

The feel of the place, from the moment you walk in, is one of a home from home, and the staff have all been brilliant with mum. We couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

Thank you so much, Tracey, for your wonderful review and for sharing your experience of Cedrus House. It is lovely to hear that your mum has settled so well and that she is enjoying the activities, trips out and, most importantly, the sense of family within the home.
My mum spent 3 years in Cedrus House until she passed in November 2025 then my dad resided there for 7 weeks in May/June 2026. My dad requested to go there after receiving a terminal diagnosis. He knew all the staff from visiting my mum and was so comfortable there. The staff bent over backwards to...
Both my parents received excellent care and all staff were so compassionate. I really couldn't rate the home highly enough.

Thank you for your lovely words Tania. It was a privilege for us to care for both your mum and dad, and we are truly grateful that your dad felt so comfortable returning to a place that was familiar to him and where he already knew the team. We understand how important it was for him to be somewhere he knew and trusted, particularly at such a difficult and emotional time for your family. We are so pleased that we were able to support your dad and help make his final weeks as peaceful and comfortable as possible, in the place where he wanted to be.

When I visit, my Aunt always looks freshly washed and her hair is neat . Her room is spotless and odour free as is the rest of the home . If her carers see me visiting they will come in and enjoy a laugh with us. It is obvious that they get on well with her. She enjoys the food and says that the Chef is wonderful and his Fish & Chips are the best she has ever had. I would not hesitate to recommend Cedrus House to anyone looking for a place for their loved one.

Thank you so much for your kind words Wendy, it is our pleasure to care for your Aunt, we are so pleased she feels happy and safe with us.
Mum was diagnosed in hospital with cancer and given 3 months. She couldn't go home. We looked at Cedrus House and straight away as soon as we walked through the door felt an "at home" feeling. Mums room was large and airy and modern. We moved some of her things in with her to make her feel even...
I have to really give the biggest shout out to the carers and nurses. I honesty felt that mum wouldn't be cared for like we would want her to be. Mainly to be loved. But, honestly, I couldn't have been more wrong. All the carers really loved and cared for my mum like their own family and this gave us soooo much comfort when we couldn't go every single day. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble for them. Her care was truly wonderful. We were welcomed to Cedrus House at any time day or night. They would cook a meal for us if we stayed. This care home should have an OUTSTANDING certificate,because that's exactly what mum had. We cannot thank you enough.
Thank you so much for your amazing comments and feedback Lisa, we really do appreciate you taking the time to complete the review. It was our pleasure to care for Mum during her final months and we are so pleased you found the our care wonderful.
Excellent in all departments. All staff are excellent in all respects.

Father in law originally came for respite care, he was very apprehensive at coming into a care facility but this was soon dispelled after given a lovely welcome from the staff from the viewing to moving in day! Staff have been very friendly and respectful, the rooms are very clean and environment safe, so much so he wants to stay! Cannot find any faults and any concerns/questions are dealt with quickly! Thank you Cedrus House team.
Thank you so much for your lovely review S.J, it really is appreciated. Its been lovely having your father in law with us and we are so pleased he has settled in so well.

All staff were friendly, approachable and helpful to our needs as a family. The care home truly went above and beyond to help us, during what had been a difficult time. My father-in-law would not hesitate to return in the future.
Thank you so much for you kind words. It was our pleasure to look after your father in law during his respite stay and we are thrilled he has come back to live permanently with us.
My Mum moved into Cedrus in July 2025. We have found Cedrus to be a homely and friendly place. The staff are all very nice and nothing is too much trouble. There are plenty of activities for Mum to take part in if she wishes or she has a lovely spacious en suite room with everything she needs.

My dad has been a resident at this nursing home for nearly two years now, and I couldn't be more grateful for the care he receives. The entire staff - from the nurses to the kitchen and housekeeping teams - treat him with genuine kindness and respect. They take the time to get to know him personally, which makes such a difference.
The home is always clean, welcoming, and well organised. The nurses are attentive and communicate regularly with our family about any changes or updates in his care. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he's in good hands.
Thank you to everyone at Cedrus House!

I’ve worked for Care UK for nearly a decade now. Before joining the organisation, I was a laboratory technician and a registered childminder. When I was looking for a new challenge, I heard great things about Care UK and how its people were supported to develop. That’s certainly been my experience. I started as a carer and have worked my way up.
I previously worked as Home Manager at Hartismere Place, where I saw the home grow and flourish. I’m now excited to have joined Cedrus and to bring that experience with me, building on strong foundations and continuing to enhance what we do and what we offer to residents.
I love walking around the home and having lovely interactions with the residents. They make my day, as do the great colleagues I work alongside. There’s always a lot of laughter at Cedrus House, which creates a great atmosphere.
Outside of work, I’m a keen biker; my husband and I ride all over East Anglia. I also enjoy gardening, spending time with my family, and socialising with friends.
