Most carers are very good and very kind, however, some appear less caring. Unfortunately, most carers are overworked and have little time for additional niceties which can make a world of difference to the ill and elderly who have little contact with the outside world. Ideally, if funds allowed an almoner type person would improve things. Food has been inconsistent due to changes in the kitchen and menus can sometimes be confusing or unappealing to elderly pallettes.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We’re grateful for your comments and positive scores around the standard of the home, rooms and facilities, although I understand you have some concerns around staff and quality of the food. With regards to the care team at Cedrus House, I would like to assure you that our levels of staffing are always suitable to meet the needs of residents 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, we do take your concerns regarding general attitude of the staff seriously and will arrange for a manager at the home to get in touch and discuss this further with you. With regards to the dining experience at the home, our chefs work hard to cater for all tastes and dietary requirements for each individual and ensure that there is always plenty of choice. Residents are given the opportunity to contribute and our team are currently looking at recent feedback to build into the menus. If your loved one has any requirements, we would be glad to accommodate these requests also.

I have now been a resident at Cedrus House for the past year. Have been particularly impressed by the continued cheerfulness of all the staff here and their helpfulness. I would certainly recommend Cedrus House to anyone.

Staff are caring and helpful, including the caring, domestic and night staff, however, at times they do seem very busy particularly first thin in the morning.

Very happy with the treatment my husband is receiving. The carers are very understanding of his condition and treat him with care and friendliness.

After three and a half weeks of care at Cedrus House, auntie is now safely back home. So much stronger and able to manage with carers at home. I cannot praise Cedrus House high enough.
I certainly like living here, most of all because all the people who help me are so kind and patient. I have the impression that, although they are always busy, nothing is too much trouble for them. It is reassuring to have a nurse always on the premises. I find my room and my bed very comfortable....

This was my second respite visit to Cedrus House, the first time was in February. This time, I had broken my arm and my wife wasn't able to care for me at home. I came to Cedrus House and stayed for 4 weeks until I was well enough to go home. I cannot fault anything about the home, the staff are wonderful, so kind and helpful and the food is excellent. I was sad to say goodbye to everyone. Thank you.

Within a day he was soon at ease and had confidence in the way the staff handled his health problem. He was shown patience, tolerance and understanding and by the relationship building to the staff had good trust and was communicating with them.
Everywhere within the premises were clean and bright to the highest degree. Would recommend Cedrus House to all.
Husband well cared for. Kind and helpful staff.

When visiting my aunt the staff are always very friendly and caring to her. The facilities are excellent here but there always seems to be different staff on duty.

All staff are very helpful and caring. Accommodation is of a very high standard. Communication between staff and family members is very good. Individual needs of my mother have been responded to with both compassion and efficiency. Catering is excellent and personal preferences are catered for.

My father in law has had a recent stay in Cedrus House! He only stayed two weeks as he was having respite while his wife was recovering from being unwell! The staff at Cedrus House looked after him so well and took great care to ensure he had everything he needed! I would recommend this care home...
Thank you Cedrus House for your professionalism!
I sent his prescription in the event of anything running out - it happened and seemed unable to get the medication pills replaced - either in the local chemist or to get their doctor to organise the local chemist!

I am sorry that we were unable to meet all of your expectations during your husband’s stay with us but are grateful for your feedback and delighted with the positive comments and fantastic scores for the care and support we provide. All respite residents are registered with our local GP practice in case they become unwell during their stay. We do however ask all families to bring in all of the medicines required for the duration of any respite visits as our GP’s are not prepared to prescribe for repeat medication for our respite residents or from a repeat request. I do hope that we will be welcoming you back to our home in the near future especially as you felt the overall stay was a good one and that you were treated in an excellent manner.

All Cedrus House staff have been very helpful, much more helpful and honest than the service we had received from social services. The care level within Care UK is excellent and very dedicated, no matter what time of the day or night. The lady at Cedrus House goes beyond what would normally be expected and her help and advice has been fantastic at such a difficult time for our family. Our father is now thankfully being cared for within Care UK. Thank you to all the staff

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.
