  • The Cedars, Crewe
The Cedars has been purpose-designed to offer a homely setting, with a pleasant social atmosphere for older people with care needs. The home is very much a part of village life, with many residents from the immediate vicinity. Friends and family regularly pass through the home to visit residents and there is a family feel between residents and the care team, who are well established and have worked in the home for many years. The home is set within beautiful grounds and has well established gardens for residents’ enjoyment.

I became involved with the resident over 2½ years ago, she was put in the Cedars after her husband died of cancer, after she herself had a stroke, and was unable to live on her own. The Cedars was local to her own home, the staff are very professional and her care is second to none. Sometimes she can
be very difficult and the staff are very understanding to her needs. I have become close to some of the other residents and I've not heard a bad word about any of the staff they are all very well cared for.

It was a very difficult decision to make regarding mums future care after she had several falls and became a little confused and muddled on occasions. She was reluctant to leave the home she loved but events overcame that decision when she became ill and needed more care. The Cedars was local and her
GP and DN's covered there so she agreed to moving there.
Mum settled immediately and this was mainly down to the staff who were so welcoming and friendly and it became apparent that it was definitely the right place for her to live out the remainder of her life.
Staff have always kept me informed and involved me in any decision making regarding what is best for mum and now that she has some of her 'bits and pieces' and her chair from home in her room she is really happy.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.881)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.881) out of 10 for The Cedars is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.881 for The Cedars is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.881

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Cedars is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
