We always found the atmosphere at Cedar Lodge very calm and pleasant. The staff were all very helpful, from the management to the carers and kitchen staff and always cheerful. My husband was always treated with dignity and the food was very good. He was there for 3 weeks respite and did not join
many activities, but was very happy to attend the church services on 2 occasions. On returning home he said he had enjoyed his visit and would be happy to go again.

My recent stay at Cedar Lodge for three weeks was really enjoyable. My husband is always happy when I am with him. Everyone is very caring and make me most welcome. It is very comfortable and the food is excellent. Thank you all very much. Fondest wishes.

My dad was very unwell when he came to Cedar Lodge just before Christmas. He was also frightened, and as a result of that, quite difficult to work with. Cedar Lodge were AMAZING, monitoring his health and caring for him generally. Thank you.

Cedar Lodge always looks clean, bright & friendly. The staff are always cheerful and we are happy that Dad lives here. Some of the residents can be loud & aggressive, but the staff always treat them with humour, dignity & kindness.

I have been a volunteer at Cedar Lodge for over two years. My mother and mother-in-law were both in different dementia care homes, so I have experienced different ones. I can honestly say this is the nicest. I have taken a lady under my wing who doesn't have any visitors, and I'm now the main
contact regarding her welfare. The staff are caring and respectful, the meals are good and tasty, and have a home cooked appearance. I have a good relationship with the staff and can say the staff retention is good, which I feel is a good sign. My only negative observation is that often, when staff are on a break that there is a staff shortage. The home is clean, well kept and never smells.

During my husband's time at Cedar Lodge, he had the best of care, and I was equally supported from the Cedars nursing staff up to the manager. We were looked after and involved in all decisions, including end of life. Everyone was friendly and they really care about all the residents regardless of
physical/mental ability. At Cedar Lodge, you become part of the family, and even though my husband is sadly no longer here, I still go back every week for the church service where I am welcomed with hugs by the staff, so grateful for the cheerful care they give to everyone. A very special care home.

Mum was a resident at Cedar Lodge for 20 months and sadly passed away in October 2025.
Outstanding is the word I'd use for Cedar Lodge, from the moment mum was there she was so well looked after and cared for. The carers are absolutely amazing, so kind, polite and thoughtful towards the residents,
ensuring dignity and respect were maintained. Many of them will always hold a special place in my heart for the way they cared for my beautiful mum, they became an extended family to us.
Cedar Lodge is spotlessly clean and homely, so very different to other care homes we had seen.
There were always activities and the music/therapy was particularly special, seeing the residents respond and join in where they could was beautiful.
24 October 2025
Every member of staff was helpful, pleasant and accommodating. They went out of their way to assist us with my mother. With the excellent service they gave, we will not hesitate to use them again.

The team looked after our mother for her end of-life-care and we can only say how thankful and grateful we are to them . Their care was exemplary in a complex situation both for our mother and us. Always present if needed and across the whole team thoughtful and kind in every interaction . Nothing
was too much trouble and we could see this extended to all the residents. With lovely open country views and a homely feel Cedar Lodge is quite different to the more corporate style care homes we were more familiar with.
15 August 2025
My mother was admitted to Cedar Lodge for end of life care. This was obviously traumatic for her and the family.
She was treated with care and compassion by the staff at all times.
As a nurse I was impressed by the standard of care offered plus the patience and kindness of the staff.
They
supported mum and us. We were kept well informed at all times.
The ambience is friendly with staff chatting to visitors, residents and each other, this creates a relaxed and homely feel.
The home is spotlessly clean and I noted the cleaner would stop for a chat with the residents after the room had been cleaned, I thought this was lovely and an indication management prioritised the well being of residents.
The home is clearly well managed and communication between the team members is excellent.

I would fully recommend Cedar Lodge to anyone looking for a caring, professional home for their loved ones. We looked around quite a few in the area and this one stood out, visible carers, caring for Residents, even one of the cleaners stopped when we looked around and said hello to us. It is such a
welcoming place. Very clean, organised and well run. The Manager is very active and visible there, she runs this as a home from home, and that they are one big happy family. All the Staff are welcoming and friendly and have the patience of Saints. I spent quite a lot of time here with my Mum and never saw any thing negative. All staff were warm and caring. The majority of staff have worked there for years which is a lovely sign, there is a fabulous activities coordinator who had her parents in this care home, if that isn't enough of a recommendation that this is a trusted place for your loved ones to live. Visit and see for yourself, this is a lovely care home. Thank you all.

As a family, we are so happy with everything at Cedar Lodge. We know Mum is given the best care, and any medical issues, the nurses contact us and talk us through everything. Nothing is too much trouble. Everyone greets you with a smile, it is just like a big family, and we are part of it. Sending
Mum in August was 100% the best thing for us. Any questions we have had, the great management team have sorted them for us. The Cedar Lodge family opened their arms and took Mum and our family in.

Cedar Lodge is a real home from home for my mum who has been a resident since February 2024. All the staff are like one big family, supportive of each other, supportive of the residents and there is a nurtured culture of respect. Everyone is treated as an individual and very well looked after,
residents are encouraged to make decisions and choices. The safety policies are adhered to with room alarms and access & egress restrictions. Visiting mum here is great, we can have quality time together and most of all, I can tell how happy she is to be with the people who work at the home and look after her. The home has recently completed refurbishment works for a new heating system plus facilities and has newly decorated rooms and carpets. I am very grateful to have found this place for mom and rate this care home as excellent.

I cannot adequately describe the wonderful love and care my wife and I received at Cedar Lodge. All the staff I encountered be they manager, nurse, senior carer, carer, chef or cleaner generated this loving care. This is no accident. The manager deserves considerable credit. I cannot imagine a
better experience.
14 November 2024
I struggle to put into words quite how grateful we are as a family for everyone at Cedar Lodge.
The care they provide my grandmother is simply incredible.
She is always clean and tidy, is always involved in what is happening day to day and all of her individual needs (especially around food) are
dealt with without issue.
Communication is fantastic and everyone is so friendly, you always feel so welcome when visiting.
We are so lucky to have found you, thank you so much.

When my mother's dementia increased, we tried keeping her at home with carers attending but she found this difficult with so many different people attending. I looked at 5 different possible care homes and Cedar Lodge stood out as the place mum would be happy. The manager and staff are wonderful and
treat the residents as if in their own home. It has a real homely feeling. The manager was very accommodating and provided an extra low bed for mum as she is under 5ft. They also painted the room before her arrival and helped to put her favourite pictures on the walls. The staff are all very welcoming, caring and kind. Mum has been there for 15 months and is very happy. She just celebrated her 92nd Birthday and was spoilt with the most amazing birthday cake made by the chefs. They have started music therapy which mum has enjoyed and found of great benefit. Thank you to all the staff at Cedar Lodge.

When our sister's dementia increased, we were able to move her from Cedar Lawn to Cedar Lodge where the love, care, and attention she received under MHA continued. All the staff treat her with dignity and understanding, giving the personal touch by using her name.
Any medical concerns are
communicated immediately. The family are warmly welcomed and is included within the community.
We appreciate the time that the Chaplain gives to our sister as she can no longer attend the services.
When our sister was more active, she enjoyed the activities provided, particularly the art and music, receiving additional individual music therapy.
Our sister's room has a light and airy feel to it. It is always clean and fresh. We have been able to personalise it with her own framed pictures.
We cannot thank everyone involved enough for their dedication and understanding.

Overall a good care home, with some relapses e.g. not always notified about hospital letters for appointments. Sometimes not enough things to do. Happy with all of the staff they are lovely.
