  • Cedar Court Residential & Nursing Home, Seaham
With a team who are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents, Cedar Court provides residential, dementia, nursing and palliative care. They also provide rehabilitation and pre-bookable respite care breaks.

The home is very much at the heart of the local community. School children often pop in to take part in activities and singing. There is regular entertainment from singers, musicians and choirs, and the local church run regular services for the residents. And there are trips out in the home’s minibus, from pub lunches to garden centres and shopping.

There are so many activities to enjoy, from pamper sessions, with manicures and hand massages to animal visits, with everything from snakes and tortoises to rabbits and dogs. And a stone’s throw from the coast, residents often enjoy walks along the harbour.

The home has lots of bright and airy spaces to enjoy, from the lounges, where residents enjoy activities and spending time with loved ones, to the dining rooms, where they enjoy delicious home-cooked meals prepared by the chef. From roast dinners with all the trimmings, to fish and chip Fridays and lighter bites such as home-made soups and freshly baked cakes for afternoon tea.

The residents love to get involved in ‘foody’ activities, baking and cake decoration, making pizzas and pies. And there is always a special menu for special occasions, from afternoon tea to themed nights.

Loved ones, who are welcome at any time, are embraced into life at Cedar Court. There are regular relatives’ meetings and a private family and friends Facebook page, where relatives can see what their loved ones have been enjoying doing, even if they can’t be there in person.

The gardens are wonderful, with wheelchair friendly pathways and raised beds, for residents who enjoy gardening.

Cedar Court also has a beautiful hair salon, for weekly appointments with the mobile hairdresser.

This has been a very difficult time for relatives, being unable to meet with loved ones, however, the entertainments facilitator has been excellent at maintaining links with family and promoting contact and I am so grateful for that support. My dad always appears content and in good spirits, he is clean
and cared for. The staff are caring and supportive.

I have great peace of mind knowing that my uncle is being properly cared for at Cedar Court. He never fails to sing everyone's praises when I am able to speak to him.
Whenever I telephone in I am kept well informed of his condition and reassured.

Caring and friendly staff always ready with a smile, treat residents with respect and encouragement. The comfortable rooms and shared spaces are newly renovated and always kept clean and pleasant. My mother suffers from dementia and became a resident over 10 years ago. Although she initially had some
difficulty in accepting her new situation there was an evident and almost immediate improvement in her physical health and general well-being.

I visited a friend at the care home today, she reluctantly went in and would prefer to be at home. I came away feeling very happy with the level of care she was receiving. When we arrived she was having her legs treated and we had to wait, while we we waited I noticed the staff interacting with the
other residents in a friendly, caring and sensitive manner. The staff we talked to were helpful, informative and friendly. Our friend seems very happy here.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.909)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.909) out of 10 for Cedar Court Residential & Nursing Home 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 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.909 for Cedar Court Residential & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (422 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 463 Ratings = 4.909

  • 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 Cedar Court Residential & Nursing Home is based on 39 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 39 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.
