Homewood

Overall Experience

Our friend spent 2 years at Homewood, where she was safe, free from anxiety and very well looked after by dedicated staff members. The range of activities was wide and varied. She needed much persuasion to move to Homewood from her flat, where she was simply not able to cope. We were so relieved when

she moved, and we are very grateful to the staff.

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Christina Samudzi, Home Manager at Cedar Lodge

Thank you for your lovely compliment, it is lovely to hear your heart-felt appreciation and to know that the teams hard work does not go unnoticed. I have passed your kind words to the team; they were overwhelmed with your kindness, and they also want to express how grateful they are for the wonderful support you and your family give to the team. You have given our team a boost of confidence to continue providing high standards of care. Your grandmother is one special lady with great sense of humour, and she is not shy to give us a valued opinion.

Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

Mum has been at Homewood for around 15 months now and I cannot fault anything. The manager and all staff are very caring, friendly and kind.
Mum has been able to furnish her room with items from home and bring in her precious personal possessions. The nurse carers have all medications sorted and I

don't have to worry about doctor appointments or prescriptions anymore. From the maintenance man to the cooks and cleaners, everyone is friendly and open to help. A particular member of staff sorts all the activities out and site visits which include a wide range of animals visiting as well as all sorts of games, chair fit, pottery etc. A visiting hairdresser helps keep mum and her friends looking smart. And the weekly church services offer comfort to many. I commend all the staff for their patience, assistance and the time they spend looking after our loved ones. Thank you.

I thought it was time to write a review for everyone at Cedar Lodge. My husband moved into his new home from Cedar Lawn on the 1st of Feb 2024, having received the shocking news Cedar Lawn was closing he was very happy and settled there and didn't think it would be as good. How wrong we were, Cedar

Lodge is superb all the staff and management are exceptional, so kind to us, and always available. My husband's care is exceptional plus it is always given in a caring, kind way. We are blessed. No one every moans. The staff are always available and we both thank each and everyone at Cedar Lodge.

Reply from Christina Samudzi, Home Manager at Cedar Lodge

Thank you for your lovely heartfelt compliments, we were very happy when you considered us to take care of your husband's needs. You and your daughter are fully involved with your husband's care and what a blessing to have you around. You have given us tools to enable us to deliver the best care to your husband and I am glad that he has found a home. The transition was made easy all because of your support. I have passed the message to the wonderful team, and all have appreciated your kind words. Your husband's happiness is of paramount importance as is for all our residents at Cedar Lodge. We continue to aim to provide the highest standards of care possible.

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Christina Samudzi, Home Manager at Cedar Lodge

Thank you for your lovely compliment, all the wonderful care given to your sister was made through your support. We endeavour to continue to provide quality dignified care for residents under our care. I have shared the compliment with the staff, and they were all thrilled and touched by your kind comments.

From the moment I first made contact with Cedar Lodge everyone has been so friendly, nothing is too much trouble. Always greeted with a smile, all the staff are so kind. Mum has been very content, we are so happy she is in very safe hands. A lovely place for Mum's respite.

Reply from Christina Samudzi, Home Manager at Cedar Lodge

Thank you for taking time to review the care that our service Cedar Lodge provides. Your kind, lovely and heartfelt compliments were received by the team Cedar Lodge with great appreciation. Thank you for choosing us to be the care givers for your mum. Mum is truly loved, and she is a very nice lady. We will endeavour to continue giving her the care that is tailor-made for her needs during her respite period. You and your sister are such lovely, kind, and gentle people. The love and care you show your mum is unbelievable. Your support has allowed us to provide the individualised care for Mum.

Overall Experience

Mum was very lonely and very frail in her own flat and her mobility was very poor. Since moving into Homewood, her mobilities have increased remarkably. I can't believe the change in Mum's mood and general wellbeing. She's mixing with people and enjoying activities. I can't thank Homewood and all the

staff for everything they've done and continue to do. You are all marvellous. Thank you. I would just like to add, it would be better if more diabetic foods were available, i.e. desserts.

Mum moved into Homewood last October following a fall at home. From the start Mum's care was exceptional, the staff are kind, patient, and professional, and clearly well supported by the manager and his team.
The activities provided are many and varied and Mum's needs and wishes are listened to thanks

to the excellent activity co-ordinator.
The home is always kept spotlessly clean, the laundry and maintenance service are very good and the food looks tasty and well-presented. Would recommend Homewood to anyone.

Overall Experience

My Dad was at Cedar Lodge for nearly 18 months. In all that time the staff have been so caring and kind. The home has a lovely friendly and family feel. This is a home with a big heart. The staff have gone above and beyond for Dad, and my brother and I are hugely grateful for their care and compassion.

We will always remember Dad's time there with fondness and wish everyone at Cedar Lodge the very best for the future.

Reply from Christina Samudzi, Home Manager at Cedar Lodge

Thank you for your lovely compliment and thank you for allowing us to have an opportunity to look after your father. During his stay at Cedar Lodge, you and your brother always gave us much-needed support, and you were great. We would not have been able to do this without your help. We worked together from the time of admission to the time we all agreed that Dad needed a different placement, which provided and was able to meet your dad's complex care needs. We were in this together to the end. I have passed your compliment to the team who appreciated it. Dad will be remembered and thank you for the roses, we will find a perfect place to plant them as we continue to remember his stay at Cedar Lodge.

Overall Experience

My mum came to Cedars 6 months ago. I have to say I just wished I had found it years back. My mum is now getting excellent care and her condition is understood and handled with professionalism but with such kindness, I come away knowing Mum is in the best place and I no longer have worries. The staff

on every level are just amazing full of energy which just makes the home come alive. The therapy and entertainment that are given to enhance the residents' lives are brilliant. The spiritual side of the home has been wonderful and Mum enjoys the services on a Thursday. All I ever wanted was for Mum to live the last chapters of her life with people who understood and could give her the care she needed. She has so much more at Cedar Lodge from the time she went through their doors she became part of the family. I now sleep at night knowing she is in safe hands.

Dad seems well looked after and happy. The staff are all very attentive towards the residents and work very hard. Although busy the staff try to spend time with the residents when time allows. The home is well-appointed, the lounge being a particularly nice place to sit and chat. The garden areas are

nice to sit in in the better weather and are kept tidy with lots of flowers. Everywhere is generally clean and tidy with cleaning being carried out on an almost constant basis with only very occasional lapses when there have been crumbs left after a snack. Dad enjoys the activities and has made a group of friends who are usually sat together.

The care home manager and staff made my mother feel at home, one of the family of residents from the beginning. This has made her transition to a new way of life much easier than expected and put our family's minds at ease. My mother has made new friends, including the carers and often says she is being

pampered especially when she has her hair and nails done in the salon. As her sister observed "she seems comfortable where she is and looked really well." We are forever grateful.

Reply from Christina Samudzi, Home Manager at Cedar Lodge

Thank you so much for your lovely recommendation, I have shared it with the whole team, and they were all smiles. Thank you for putting your mum into our care, and the one thing that struck us most is the way the family have involved Mum in the decision-making, to allow her to make informed choices. We worked together to allow Mum to go back home for the weekend to determine if she could cope alone at home and she made a conscious decision to stay with us at Cedar Lodge. We would like to thank you for the support and care you give to Mum; Mum has made great friends and we have seen her support others which is of great help. We will continue to endeavour to deliver person-centred care to all residents under our care and Mum is one of them.

At the beginning of February Dad became a resident here moving from Cedar Lawn and during every step of the way, the staff have been welcoming, caring and informative with respect to Dad and helping to make what was a somewhat difficult transition into a really happy and comfortable one. I cannot really

thank the manager and every one in the team enough because the help they have given me and my mum with this move has genuinely made a difference in us all getting used to new things together and finding out about the home and other residents. Dad is enjoying his meals, and the company of others and is secure in the knowledge that he is safe and settled which means such a lot in this stage of his life. Thank you for making February 2024 such a positive one.

I had been ill in hospital for some time. I live alone in Hampshire, and my only daughter lives in Warwickshire who found Homewood for me. I moved here on 13th January 2023. I have never been so happy. The staff are so kind. The home is very clean, the food is very good indeed. All in all, I am pleased

I came to Homewood long may I stay.
