  • The Cedars Care Centre, Barnet
Welcome to Cedars Care Centre in Barnet. This large, detached, traditional home offers 24-hour specialist care to those over the age of 18. The home is fortunate to have a long-serving team of nursing and support staff that provide high-quality, person-centred care within a homely environment. While specialising in Dementia care, they offer long-term, palliative, respite and post-operative care.

The well-maintained home comprises 35 single bedrooms and 5 companion rooms for couples wishing to share, all with en-suite facilities. They encourage residents to furnish their new surroundings with familiar pieces of furniture and personal possessions to make them feel truly at home. They welcome and cater for live in small dogs and cats as well as welcoming visiting pets.
While bedrooms provide a tranquil area to rest and relax, the bright and attractive communal day rooms offer residents the opportunity to catch up with friends over a pot of tea, enjoy one of the guest entertainers or simply recline in front of their favourite films. The day rooms look out over beautifully landscaped gardens and French doors open onto the terrace allowing safe, ease of access.

At Cedars, the team encourage residents to take part in a range of engaging activities based on their lifestyle needs and preferences. Many of the activities take place within the home environment and include garden tea parties, barbecues and arts/crafts. Within the garden, there is a raised vegetable patch offering the opportunity to ‘grow your own’. They empower individuals to enjoy those everyday routines they cherish, whether that’s having a manicure, visiting the cinema or keeping up to date with their favourite football team. All are encouraged and available. Residents enjoy the wider community, with a thriving high street, independent shops and local park all within a short distance.

The staff and management of The Cedars Care Centre have been the most wonderful support for my mother (and me) through the last year of her life. They have treated her with the utmost dignity and quality of care. They have provided all this through the enormous difficulties presented by Covid. I can't
say how thankful I am to have found Cedars carehome- my mother always said, "the carers here are wonderful".

My husband who has Alzheimer's Dementia stayed recently at The Cedars Care Centre for three weeks respite stay. I would highly recommend this care home as we found the care my husband received was excellent, the nurses and the staff were very caring and patient with my husband. My son and I are grateful
for the good care and understanding shown to my husband whose behaviour can be difficult at times. The management and all the staff are very kind and professional. Very pleasant and well run care home.

My mother was at The Cedars Care Centre for about 10 months. She found the transition difficult and took time to settle in but the staff were so patient and gentle with her. They massaged her hands regularly which she really enjoyed and they tried to find things that would interest and stimulate her.

Fantastic, kind people. Dad enjoyed dancing, singing and games. He loved the food and was very fond of one of the carers. The carers here really bond with the residents and make them feel special. I was allowed video calls. I strongly recommend this home.

Cedars is exemplary in its care for its residents. The staff are all amazing, I think they’re just fantastic. The home is always spotlessly clean and they make it such a comfortable and welcoming place to visit. It’s been really hard for my family to see my dad deteriorate with Parkinson’s and the pandemic
and lockdowns have made it hard to visit him as much as we’d like. Cedars always makes us feel welcome when we do and have been brilliant in managing covid and keeping residents safe through this difficult time.

People are being very nice, looking after my father. They seem to be taking a lot of care with him, which is very good. They all seem quite happy about the place and the nursing seems to be of a high quality.

I cannot praise The Cedars highly enough. The kindness of the staff brings tears of grained to my eyes. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The home is spotlessly clean and palpably full of joy. The residents all seem happy and well stimulated. The staff work as a team and create a lively and reassuring

I must take this moment to say a very special thank you to the manager and all the staff at The Cedars Care Centre who in the most respectful and beautiful way cared for my father, during his time with them.
The Cedars became his home, and they cared for and supported him throughout his stay. They
were always supportive of the family playing an active part in his wellbeing.
My family and I will forever be grateful for their kindness, compassion and warmth provided to not just Dad, but we the family too.
It goes without saying that, should another family ever have the need for their loved one to move into a nursing home, I would highly recommend The Cedars Care Centre because they genuinely do care and take seriously their responsibility.
So, to each and every member of the team...thank you, thank you, thank you!

Excellent care home. Staff are fantastic, in all aspects of care, and are very much dedicated in all they do for the residents. If you have problems they see to them right away. The management team are very dedicated in all aspects of their work, and also the entertainment staff. The home is always
spotlessly clean, the food also excellent.

The Manager must be very proud of her dedicated team at Cedars. They are compassionate and caring and have been a lifeline to my mum during Covid restrictions. They dealt with an emergency with my mum and reacted quickly to get the best treatment for her. They have continued to care for her once she
returned from hospital following complex surgery. My mum has dementia and terminal cancer so I know that the palliative and end of life care that they will provide for my mum will be second to none. This gives me peace of mind as due to Covid I cannot currently visit my lovely mum but the staff are always happy to speak to me and update me on how she is.
When I had to find a care home for mum a few months ago I could not visit any to inspect so chose Cedars from online reviews and CQC inspections. I kept questioning whether I had placed mum in the right place but the last few months have shown me that I certainly made the right choice. Wonderful caring staff.

I have been visiting someone for over a year at this service - I have always found the staff kind, compassionate and helpful. A number of friends have also visited at various times and I have always heard positive feedback from them also. After lockdown visits were excellently managed. I am a healthcare

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.856)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.856) out of 10 for The Cedars Care Centre 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 56 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 55 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 4.856 for The Cedars Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (593 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 668 Ratings = 4.856

  • 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 Care Centre is based on 55 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 55 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.
