  • 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.

I have always found the staff at Cedars to be helpful, positive and friendly. I have only ever witnessed kindness shown to the service users. My friend has been very happy at Cedars although lockdown has been hard. Nevertheless, Cedars is covid free, a very good indication of standards. I am impressed
with the good communication skills of staff.

During lockdown, I have been in regular contact with the staff and management of The Cedars and I have been really impressed with their handling of the crisis. They have often told me they are having difficulty getting hold of tests for COVID but by the next time I speak to them they have managed to
do so, which I know has not been the case for many homes. My Mother, now nearly 91, has remained negative throughout the pandemic, after being tested on quite a number of occasions. I put this down to the very high standards of care and attention to detail in the management and nurturing of residents. She is also happy and relaxed and I think this also contributes to better health including an enhanced immune system. Laughing is also reputed to support the immune system and when I've been on the phone with her during this time I've often heard her joking with staff and can hear the level of affection between them.

The staff at The Cedars are unfailingly kind and helpful. They treat my mother with great warmth and friendliness so that she feels safe and cared for. The food is excellent and I have been offered meals when I am there as I live a long way away, so I can testify the freshness and tastiness of it. The
rooms are ok, not beautiful but my mother recently moved to a nicer room with french windows and it is lovely and she is happy. I trust all the staff with my mother and even in Covid-19 times, I feel sure they will look after her to the best way they possibly can.

A glowing report on the care received by management and carers. Having tested positive to Covid 19, the care home was already locked down. But we were afforded constant updates and videos on my mother's progress. We rang the home at numerous times and was told the progress she was making. Fortunately,
she tested clear of the virus, this was amazing given her age. The home must be commended on the handling of this ravaging virus. On a happier note, when the carer, dressed in all the PPE equipment, my mother thought she was being fed by an alien.

Of all the local care homes we visited before choosing the best place for our friend, The Cedars were the most welcoming and homely. It has proved to be an excellent choice. Our friend has lived here happily for three years now. The staff are all friendly, caring and professional, treating the residents
with respect and dignity and making visitors feel welcome at all times. Indeed, there is a family atmosphere at The Cedars. The home is clean and tidy. There are plenty of activities for the residents, including afternoon quizzes, summer barbecues and live entertainment. Residents' birthdays are celebrated with a birthday cake, shared by everyone. The Cedars is the epitome of a care home in that it is both caring and homely.

My mum has been at The Cedars for a few years and now has severe dementia.
She recently needed to go to hospital for 24 hours and on her return looked round and snuggled down which meant such a lot to me.
With the excellent Manager, Assistant Manager and all the nurses, carers and domestic staff.
They are all patient, friendly and professional. She still has moments of recognition and all the staff treat her with complete dignity which is so important.
The Cedars is the nearest thing to being like a home. Their support is so much appreciated and The Cedars has become part of my family’s life too.

My aunt has been at Cedars for 4 years and the overall care has been very good. Over this period, standards have varied but our concerns addressed and are very much staff dependent.
The management have been very helpful and understanding and established a very food relationship with myself and my aunt.
Hopefully,
my aunt will continue to get the support she has benefitted from since entering the Cedars.

Having spent six years visiting my mum at Cedars I have to say how very lucky we have been. From the management, nurses, carers and domestic staff, Cedars excels in everything they do. The service and care is a very high standard. This is not just a nursing home, it's a family home with lots of love.
A real family community, all the staff are united and treat the resident with so much love and respect.

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.
