The care and attention she receives is second to none.
She spent 2years in another care home up in Peterborough and we were disgusted with the way all the residents were treated there.
Since moving Mum down to cedars she has (even though she has vascular dementia) thrived. She is happy and is treated with dignity and respect.
The food , entertainment and friendliness is abundant. She has a room full of beautiful possessions, family photo's and a TV.
I cannot praise this care home enough from the manager down to the housekeepers all the staff are exceptional including reception.
We feel like we have an extended family. Thanks to you all for looking after Mum the way you do and for giving us all the support and piece of mind over the last 3 years.

All the carers made special efforts to care for both of them and it was comforting to know that they were in such caring hands.
Sadly they have both now passed away and I will miss my visits to Cedars where from Victor the manager through the reception staff and all carers and support staff we were always made to feel welcome.
We are very sorry for your loss and are grateful to hear that our team provided comfort and support to both your parents and your family. Your comments will mean a great deal to all our staff.
It was a privilege to care for your parents, and we thank you for sharing your experience.

The staff went above and beyond caring for mum right up until her final day as she passed away.
The staff asked to care for mum in her final days rather than send her to a hospice. We are eternally grateful and would always recommend The Cedars.
Thank you for your kind review. We are extremely happy to hear that you were satisfied with the care of your mother and will share your kind words with the team. She was a much-loved member of our Cedar's family, and is very much missed. Once again, please accept our heart-felt condolences on your loss and we wish you and your family all the very best for the future.
Myself and our family are relieved that he is being well looked after.
The recent VE Party was very well organised and entertaining.
Thanks to all the staff and management.

Thank you for your kind review, and for working with our team to ensure that your loved one receives the best possible care and support. Were so happy to have you both as part of our Cedars family. I will pass on your comments to the team, who will be very happy to receive them.
My mum has been a resident at Cedars Care Home for almost three years now and I cannot recommend it highly enough. The staff are really kind and respectful and treat the older people with all the dignity they deserve. Mum was lonely at home and now she has company and activities as much as she...
The activities are first class with something for everybody. We have sometimes joined in with the zumba classes and it's lovely to see them moving (whilst sitting down) along to the music.
Mum particular likes the singers that come in and usually goes out each week on the mini bus to a local park or for a coffee, ice cream or bun depending on the weather.
The month of December was full of fun parties, staff pantomimes and carol singing.
I would not hesitate to recommend Cedars.
Thank you for taking the time to review Cedars Care Home. We are incredibly proud of both our home and the care and dedication given to our residents by our team. It's very good to know that your mother is happy with us and enjoying life at our home.
My mother enjoys the varied menus, all freshly cooked in situ, by qualified chefs. There are activities for the residents to do everyday, if they want to.
The house is extremely safe and well run.

I do not tire of writing positive reviews about this amazing care home. This one is in relation to two first-class uplifting events in August - both barbecues, one with a musical film theme and the other with an American singer/Hawaiian theme. In addition to excellent entertainment, it was great to see Dad enjoying himself out in the fresh air in the fantastic garden. Each occasion brought a smile to his face and he still mentions what a great time he had, long after the events themselves. To see the friendly, caring and so efficient manager and staff having fun, joining in, and enjoying themselves, whilst at the same time breaking off when necessary to ensure that each one of the residents was comfortable and felt included was great to see. I do not have a bad word to say about Cedars or any of its great teams. Dad has been at Cedars for a year now and we are so pleased with every aspect of his care. Thank you, Cedars!

So it is pleasing to receive such positive and encouraging feedback. Your relative is such a pleasure to look after and is very much loved here at Cedars Care Home. We look forward to seeing you and your family again at our next party.
Excellent care and excellent staff!! Best care home and is always spotless. The staff from care specialists through to the amazing front office and activities are the absolute best. My mum has been there as a resident since 2015 and it is without doubt the best choice care home.

My mother went into Cedars Care Home following a stay in hospital initially for respite care and until the family returned from a month-long trip overseas. She has been very well cared for during her stay but sadly her health and mobility have deteriorated and she feels she can no longer cope on her own at home. She will now become a permanent resident. We have found all the staff to be very friendly and caring, the home is clean and welcoming and there are lots of activities. Mum needs encouragement to attend activities and as a 93-year-old lady who still has very good mental abilities, she finds it hard to accept she cannot do things because of age and lack of mobility.
Thank you for your very positive comments about your loved ones' care. We are extremely happy to hear that you were satisfied with the care of your mother and will share your kind words with the team. We will work with your mother to ensure she is joining activities at the home.
Visited and found the resident to be happy and well cared for, she had nothing but praise for the staff and the way they cared for her. The place was clean tidy and well-managed, I was very impressed.

The care given and the happy faces of the staff make Cedars Care Home a pleasant environment to visit and a great place for people with health problems who need specialist staff to look after them. Thank you.

There have been times recently when the staff concerned with Mum's welfare have been proactive in calling for medical help during times of bad health issues and informing me immediately of their actions and concerns. This has been immensely reassuring for me resulting in a very caring and trusting relationship between all the staff and my family.
I have recommended Cedars before and will continue to do so.
Thank you for your kind feedback, and for working with our team to ensure that your loved one receives the best possible care and support. We are so happy to have you both as part of our Cedars family. I will pass on your comments to the team, who will be very happy to receive them.
My friend settled down quite well. At times presents challenging behaviour. Has been arranged via another home and CedarsCare Home. My friend will be treated at Cedars with regard to challenging behaviour as is necessary until further notice if required.

Having never had to look for a care home for a parent, I cannot thank the management and staff enough for making everything easy for me. They made my mum feel so welcome when she arrived, and continue to take great care of her. My mum has dementia/Alzheimers, so can be challenging at times, but this doesn’t phase the staff who are trained to deal with this. Mum says it’s like staying at a 5-star hotel. She’s always raving about the food she eats and the activities on offer. When I visit the staff always tell me how lovely Mum is and how she is doing, and always offer me a cup of tea or coffee when they come round with the tea trolley. The reception staff are always friendly and helpful with anything I ask. I would certainly recommend this care home to anyone who is looking for a caring environment for their family or friends.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt feedback and comments, which mean such a lot to the team. We are very grateful that you chose our home for your relative’s care. She is such a lovely person and it was our pleasure to welcome her to our family and look after her at Cedars.
I find that the care given in this home is extremely good and the entertainment persons are brilliant and always wanting to make everyone happy. Reception staff are very helpful and welcoming. There is only one downside here and that is the food.
