Overall Experience

We're pleased with the care and attention our Mum has received. The staff are attentive, aware of her needs and respond to Mum in a kind and caring way with dignity and respect. Even if the staff are busy with other residents, they keep any eye out for anything else that is happening and respond quickly

and appropriately. The home is always spotlessly clean and tidy with a lovely atmosphere. We've been kept fully informed and updated about Mum and included in conversations with the doctor, outcomes of any other discussions and ongoing follow-ups about how she is progressing and what we can do to help. The Activities Team are well led, full of energy, good fun and provide such a variety of activities to suit everyone. The array of outside entertainers and visitors provided is second to none and it's good to see that they are inclusive of all residents. Holly Lodge is well led and managed and provides a safe and caring environment. We couldn't have chosen a better home for our Mum.

Overall Experience

My wife very recently passed away at Holly Lodge. She had lived there for almost 16 months and in that time I was able to visit my wife around 900 times. I can honestly say that throughout my visits all the staff at Holly Lodge and especially the manager.
have greeted me with nothing but support and

kindness. But that same kindness has been amplified even greater in the care of my wife. Her smiling at them right through to her final days gave us the reassurance that we had chosen wisely.
Our very deep and heart felt thanks go out to everyone at Holly Lodge from our household.

Overall Experience

Holly Lodge is an excellent care home for those who suffer from dementia. The care that my mum has received since she arrived in October has been amazing and she is thriving there.
The day to day care is fantastic and the activities team are superb and have reignited my mums love for art and creativity.

Holly Lodge is very clean and the carers are so kind, thoughtful and always around to help in any eventuality. My mum is declining with her dementia and they have been so attentive to her and I know that she is being cared for.
I only wish I had found it earlier as it's as home from home as it can be for my mum, thank you.

Overall Experience

My father was a resident in Cedar Lodge for 2 and a half years. He had developed dementia so was no longer able to look after himself at home. Cedar Lodge staff were consistently excellent in their level of both medical and social care. Also of note, any visitors my father had were always complimentary

of the high standard of the environment, buildings and surroundings. I would recommend Cedar Lodge to any one looking for a care home package.

I booked for my husband while taking a break from taking care of him. 2 weeks before travel, my husband became very unwell, the manager at Cedar Lodge kidly agreed to admit my husband 2 weeks early before the due date. All staff at Cedar Lodge took great care of my husband. During my visit and other

members of the family visits, staff always welcome you with smiling faces. Very pleasant and clean place to stay.

Overall Experience

Mum came to Cedar Lodge from another care home in Surrey when after a series of falls they could no longer meet her care needs. She has been in Cedar for just over a year now during which time she has had some periods of very ill health. We have no doubt the level of care and compassion they provide

is the reason she is with us today. Her quality of life is far better - varied and stimulating and she is very happy to call it "home". It gives our family great comfort knowing they are providing the best care she needs at this time of her life. We highly recommend Cedar Lodge.

My mum has been a resident at Cedar Lodge for just over a year and is approaching her 101st birthday. She is very settled and is looked after very well. The staff are so caring and nothing is too much trouble. We visited many homes prior to choosing Cedar Lodge and definitely think we made the best

choice. There's always so much variety in terms of activities and a lovely atmosphere.

Overall Experience

My friend had been in Cedar Lodge for four years right up to her passing away in August. As time went on she became bed-bound but the staff especially one in particular still managed to include her in outside visitors and entertainment. She had so much care and support from all the staff, everyone was

so friendly and approachable and was always there to discuss all aspects. When she passed away she was treated with so much dignity and compassion.

Overall Experience

The care that Mum receives at Holly Lodge is absolutely excellent. The care home is spotless and very well run. There are always lots of carers on duty and everyone is very friendly: the manager, nurses, care assistants, receptionists and chef. All are visible and highly approachable. Visitors are made

to feel very welcome and are able to participate in the activities with the residents. Mum's dementia needs are now quite severe but I am completely reassured that she is getting the support and care that she needs. I feel very lucky that we have found Holly Lodge and would highly recommend it.

Cedar Lodge
from Alan P (Brother-in-law of Resident) published on 15 May 2024

Overall Experience

My brother-in-law was first admitted to Cedar Lodge in June 2022. He was sent directly from hospital on palliative care and was not expected to live for more than three months. However, it wasn't until 22 months later, in April of this year, that he passed away peacefully. There's no doubt in my mind

that the extension of his life was entirely due to the care and attention he received during his stay. Whenever his two sons; his niece, or my wife and I visited him he was always in a happy mood and that again reflected the excellent way he was being looked after. On the day he died all five of us were at his bedside and the care he received was exemplary. In his final moments, we had tears in our eyes and so did the nurses. It was obvious they were his friends, as well as his carers, and I cannot praise them highly enough. Equally, the managers and senior staff were incredibly helpful and always made us feel welcome during our visits. The home’s five-star rating is truly justified.

The staff always know where Mum is at all times of the day, they know her (and us) by name. Nursing care is excellent - they can pick up when something is wrong and act on it immediately. They also know Mum's history and regular GP visits are good. It's reassuring for us to know that she is safe and

well cared for. There are always lots of activities to engage for all residents.

The care my mother received at Cedar Lodge from the manager to all of her team was excellent. The staff were always polite and the care that was delivered was always with dignity and grace.
The home and gardens were well cared for, my mother particularly enjoyed sitting in the garden and enjoying the

view. The food was always excellent.
Nothing was too much trouble. We are very thankful to all the team for the great care. Thank you.

Overall Experience

Nothing has been too much trouble for the staff at Cedar Lodge settling Dad into his new home, discovering his wants and needs and encouraging interaction with other home users, whilst respecting his wish to have quiet times to himself. Everything in his nursing and personal care given willingly and

with good grace. The home is spotless, gardens well tended and the new coffee area has proved a favourite for Dad to socialise with residents as well as visiting family - even the dog has been welcome! Having their own wheelchair-friendly transport has been a real plus too.
