Cedar Lodge

Terrific staff - the team were always super helpful, caring & cheerful. My mother was delighted with her stay for respite care. Lots of activities, great food and lovely rooms.

20/20 from me!!!

Our thanks to the staff, with special mention of Jerry, Julie, Carmen, Wmila, Rhoda and Jenny who facilitated my calls to Dad from afar.

Although my father was only a resident for 8 months prior to his death, he clearly was happy and grew very fond of the staff as they did of him. This was no mean feat due to his frailty, combined with his alert mind, dry humour and expectation of high standards! At all levels, from the nurses, carers, entertainer, receptionists, chefs, laundry lady, administrators, a high degree of professional but also warm and friendly care was evident. Everyone rallied around to ensure he was given maximum support, especially during difficult times when this was needed - for which I remain eternally grateful.

From my experience so far I would highly recommend.

I visited my aunt at Cedar Lodge over Christmas and what a lovely place. It is a beautiful house and has a real warmth to it that can only come from the kindness of the wonderful staff. It sounds like there's always some kind of activity going on which keeps my aunt occupied and engaged, rather than mouldering in front of the tv, and she is really looking forward to the summer months when she can get out into the garden with the gardening club as she was always garden proud. She has a really lovely room and it's such a pleasure to see that just because someone is getting older and needs more help, that they are really cared for, cared about, can still have a social life - and she loves that that she can still have a drink with dinner. I'll be lucky if my kids put me somewhere this nice.

All in all mum and we are very pleased with our choice.

Seeing the home grow over my time volunteering has been impressive and I hope the home can continue to grow in the future the way it has already.

Our experience with Cedar Lodge has always been a positive one. To put a loved one into care is extremely emotional. The staff are amazing and have supported us from day one and made us feel part of the team. Any queries or concerns are always dealt with very openly and we are always kept informed and involved. Cedar Lodge is a warm and friendly environment and we are always met with smiling staff and cake!

Respectfully,

We will always be grateful for everything Cedar Lodge did for my father and us.

Nice care home and residents seem to be taken care of well, entertainment and activities engaged residents. Overall a very nice and bright area for residents and seems like they are very happy with things

We enjoyed a very interesting and informative afternoon learning about reptiles and rodents. Such a warm, friendly atmosphere.

I thoroughly recommend Cedar Lodge for taking care of your loved one.

Sadly his health deteriorated after a few months but his care was adapted to his needs and everything possible was done proactively to keep him comfortable and the last few months of his life were as comfortable as we could have wished for. It was always a pleasure to visit dad at Cedars in such a nice modern and clean environment with lovely staff which I will miss.

With appreciation.

It is a very lovely place.

My father spent 10 days of respite care at Cedar Lodge over the Christmas period - he received excellent care throughout his stay and was very happy staying there. The staff were all extremely kind and caring towards my father and they all work so hard. Cedar Lodge is a very comfortable and well designed care home which offers many up-to-date facilities. The garden room is a wonderful place for the residents to relax and enjoy the entertainment and planned activities. Cedar Lodge is located in the lovely village of Whitchurch and is in a quiet lane not far from Pangbourne.

My mother spent the last six weeks of her life at Cedar Lodge and it was a comfort to know she was well cared for and very comfortable during a very difficult time for her and her family. The staff all went out of their way to tailor to her individual needs. She had a lovely room with a peaceful view of the beautiful garden and for someone who has always loved her garden and the outdoors this provided a literal window to the outside world. The visitors kitchen provided a relaxing space, offering complimentary refreshments, which was very welcome, particularly if arriving stressed straight from work. The staff were all extremely kind and hard working and always tried to accommodate any requests, including sourcing and making her green jelly which she had developed a penchant for. The facilities are very clean and brand new with a high spec finish. I am glad my mother had such a peaceful environment to spend her last chapter in and am forever grateful for the care she received.

Cedar Lodge is an exceptional care home compared to many others I visited before choosing Cedar Lodge. Food excellent, care excellent, management excellent, facilities excellent. A lovely home with a good team of conscientious, happy people which has made my father very happy.
