I cannot think of any care home to match this one. Believe me, I have visited many in my time.

Since my friend has been at this home, both his physical and mental health has deteriorated. The attitude of the management team has been very poor and the care provided has not met the specific needs of my friend.

Cedrus House provides nursing and residential care for elderly residents. When a resident moves into the home, we create a detailed care plan to ensure they receive the most appropriate care for their needs. This is reviewed on a regular basis. Although we try to meet each and every individual’s needs, younger people may not benefit from some of the activities on offer which are so enjoyed by our residents.Managers try to deal with complaints fairly and will always uphold them if, after investigation, they are found to be genuine.

The coffee shop is a nice social area. My gran is very often disappointed with food taste and quality. However, it always seems as though the stair areas do not get cleaned. I've never seen the floor look as though it has been hoovered. There is also a strange smell in these areas! This gives a bad impression to visitors.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your visit to Cedrus House.

If you would like to discuss your concerns in more detail, we would welcome your comments in order that we can work with our chef to address any issues you may have.
Thank you for your comments regarding the stair areas and smells in these locations.

Please be assured that your comments have been passed to the housekeeping team in order that any issues in these areas can be put right immediately.

It would be nice to have more consistent carers that are familiar with the residents and their needs. There is a lot of agency staff which can be unsettling. My gran has mentioned that the pastry and meat are hard to cut which should be considered for older people with weaker wrists.

Thank you for your feedback regarding your visit to Cedrus House. We are very pleased to know that you feel that the staff are all so friendly and that you are impressed with the facilities at the home. It is great to know that you would be likely to recommend the home to others.We are sorry to hear that you feel that changes in staff can be unsettling for your gran. Whilst it is sometimes necessary to use agency staff, it is minimised wherever possible, to maintain familiarity. At Cedrus House, we are currently working to recruit more permanent colleagues to address this.
Thank you for your comments regarding the difficulties that your gran sometimes has with cutting up food due to having weak wrists. Whilst we try to enable residents to be as independent as possible, there are always staff members available at mealtimes to support if required and we are always very happy to provide assistance with cutting up food.

The staff are lovely and ready to help if I need them. On the whole, the food is OK with a choice in all the main meals. My nephew got me in here to be near to his family. Good.
Cedrus House is an excellent home. The care and support is second to none and the management are extremely helpful.

I was very apprehensive about taking mum but they welcomed her like an old friend and did everything to settle her in. She now goes once a week and loves it. The activities, facilities and food are great but without a doubt, it is the staff who make it the most caring, loving, warm, fun environment to leave someone you love and worry about. These ladies do a brilliant job.
Mum has a lovely, clean, spacious room which she was encouraged to personalise with family photos and of day trips organised by the staff in which she loves to participate. The boxes outside each room are a lovely idea - each filled with photos and mementos of the resident. I like the way the...
Mum has a lovely, clean, spacious room which she was encouraged to personalise with family photos and of day trips organised by the staff in which she loves to participate. The boxes outside each room are a lovely idea - each filled with photos and mementos of the resident. I like the way the "front doors" to each room are decorated in different colours.
Cedrus House is very well maintained and is spotlessly cleaned by dedicated staff.
Staff are friendly, welcoming and professional at all times and interact well with both residents and relatives. I feel Mum is well cared for in a safe, warm, friendly atmosphere with a good variety of activities that she is encouraged to attend.
The cafe in reception is a lovely area to meet and have a cuppa with Mum and her friends.
Mum calls Cedrus House "Home" and is always happy to return after a day out, what more could I ask for?
My mother lived at Cedrus House from February 2017 to September 2018 and sadly passed away on 1st October. When we first viewed Cedrus we were impressed with the modern bright feel of the place and the welcoming atmosphere. We were very glad that we chose this care home for my mother to live the...
It is a very comfortable, calm place to be and we always felt that the comfort and care of residents was a priority for the staff. We cannot commend the staff enough for how lovely and kind they were to my mother and also to us when we visited. They really were exceptional in the way they carried out their duties and how patient they were looking after people who need everything doing for them. We had great admiration and gratitude for these special people.
I cannot express adequately my admiration for Cedrus House and its personnel. The selfless dedication of its staff in caring for my mother in her final years made me very proud to have met them. I know that my mother was very well cared for and would have no hesitation in recommending Cedrus House...

We have been visiting Cedrus House for the last two months and in that time have found all staff very friendly and welcoming. The room we visit is always very clean and the residents that we see all seem well looked after. There is always some sort of activity going on to keep residents on the move and trips out are a regular treat for them.
The staff at Cedrus House ensured that the final few weeks of my father's life was comfortable and lived out in a homely and caring environment. It allowed him to have dignity to the end and everyone was also a great support to my mother, brother and other friends and family at a most difficult...
With heartfelt gratitude for their professionalism, understanding and empathy.
Mum has stayed here for 2 weeks respite. She is so happy here, she has decided to stay. Everyone is so happy and helpful. Mum has settled very well and made friends, is enjoying activities and loving all the staff.

Mum was very well cared for and enjoyed the many activities and the kindness of the staff. Sadly, she wasn't with Cedrus House long, but we know she was happy here.

Cedrus House is the best by far. It is a very clean and pleasant environment for residents and day visitors alike. All staff are happy, friendly, and helpful whilst still being professional and very caring. The real test of a care home is how do the residents appear to a visitor? My experience is that they are very happy, they feel safe and enjoy life at Cedrus House. These words cannot convey how happy and content they are.
A very calm and tranquil place. The facilities are very good and comforting.
Food very good standard.

On arrival, we were always met with a genuine, positive, professional and friendly welcome. All the staff relate positively to both users and their family members. My mother-in-law appears to have a good relationship with the staff who cope ably with her mood changes and report anything they...
I am very happy with all matters and cannot commend the management and staff enough. Thank you so much.

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.
