After visiting a number of care homes we decided upon Cedars Care Home because we felt the staff here were very caring and gave us all the information we needed and this made us feel that our Mum would get the best care and attention. I dropped my Mum off here on Friday, it was a very upsetting situation
for me and our family with all sorts of feelings of guilt and sadness. But she seems to have settled really well and I think that this is down to the staff here, so fingers crossed she will be happy here.

We just dropped her off and the bags were all dealt with by the staff. Very pleased by the attention to detail and how my partner was dealt with. Pleased with the caring attitude of management and staff.

My auntie's been in Cedars for a few months now. She's settled in and I know she's safe.
She's 95 and she joins in with the activities she enjoys her knitting.
Lots of celebrations always going on.

My grandad has recently moved to The Cedars permanently, following a period of respite care. The care he has received is exceptional! The staff go over and above in attending to his needs, he has settled quickly and has been made to feel at home. The staff treat my grandad with the utmost respect and
dignity. He seems to eat all his meals which he reports are delicious. On visiting, The Cedars always appear very clean and I am grateful my grandad has secured a place here. 10/10.

Very friendly staff, clean, informative and literally couldn't do enough for my mum, who is very young to need care but they have so far been brilliant in this extremely hard time of transition.
The family are made to feel welcome at every visit.
Regular activities for the residents and lovely
home-cooked meals which suit different dietary requirements and tastes.

Reply from Angie Richardson, Registered Manager at The Cedars

Thank you for your comments - they are greatly appreciated. We will do all we can to ensure that your mum's stay at The Cedars is as comfortable and satisfying as possible.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.653)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.653) 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 4.5 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 5 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 4.528 for The Cedars is calculated as follows: ( (28 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 53 Ratings = 4.528

  • 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 4.125 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Cedars is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.625

  • 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.
