As a family, we have been very pleased with the care our loved ones have received.
One relative had a short period of end-of-life care in September 2021 and he was cared for with dignity and comfort.
Another relative has had long-term care with debilitating Alzheimer's and the staff have been like
a second family for our loved one. She is cared for with a lot of love.
We are so grateful to the wonderful staff at Cedar Lawn Nursing Home.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Cedar Lawn Nursing Home

Hello,
Thank you for your review. How privileged we are to have been caring for and serving two loved members of your family, thank you. Quite apart from my obvious bias regarding my colleagues, I do think that there's a lot of love and joy in Cedar Lawn. That can only come from the respectful and warm relationships created between residents and staff. My very best wishes to your family, Helen.

I moved my mother to Cedar Lawn Nursing Home in June 2021. She has a big, airy room with two bay windows bringing in a lot of light, overlooking the lawn and flowerbeds. There are tailored and imaginative activities every day which my mother usually chooses to get involved in. The staff are very caring
with a great sense of humour and willing to go the extra mile to make everyone welcome. The food is excellent, always freshly cooked with a choice of menu. The communal facilities are light and spacious with a dedicated activities room. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff - they all play their part in the smooth running of the nursing home where the residents require a lot of individual care and attention.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Cedar Lawn Nursing Home

Hello,

We appreciate it whenever we receive a review however, to receive such glowing praise for our kind and compassionate Cedar Lawn team is terrific.

I can not thank all at the home enough.
Their continual care, comfort and respect shown to Mother is fantastic.
In this difficult period of Mother’s life, it is nice to know we are getting the help and support that we and she needs.
We also appreciate the facilities provided through these Covid
times that has allowed us to maintain a form of contact through the glass-fronted visiting room.
We appreciate Mother’s condition makes things difficult for all but you handle this with care and consideration.
Fantastic staff and fantastic facilities which deserve a massive thank you from us.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Cedar Lawn Nursing Home

I can highly recommend this care home, the staff are attentive, kind and sympathetic to my mother's needs.
My mother says the food is lovely and good size portions unlike the first home my mother went to, she doesn’t go hungry that’s for sure. Some of the team have been here for some years so you get
a kind of family feeling and the chef is always fun to talk to and has my mother in stitches most of the time. The office team are amazing at getting the right help for my mother. All in all, I can’t recommend this home enough and I’m extremely grateful my mother is a resident here, it takes a huge weight off my shoulder knowing she’s happy.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Cedar Lawn Nursing Home

Hello, thank you for your supportive comments. The team in Cedar Lawn really are like family and they really enjoy spending time with the residents and that makes such a difference. I don't think anyone has ever gone hungry at Cedar Lawn - it's just not possible! Thank you.

My mother entered Cedar Lawn three years ago with dementia and needing nursing care.
In those three years as her health has deteriorated the level of care has always been exceptional in meeting her complex needs.
We always appreciate the warm, engaging welcome we receive from staff when we visit.
They have created a warm, family atmosphere within the home.
We are truly thankful to have found an outstanding home within Cedar Lawn for our very precious Mother, Grandmother and Great-grandmother.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Cedar Lawn Nursing Home

Thank you for your wonderful comments. The Cedar Lawn family loves having your Mother as an important family member. I agree with you that Cedar Lawn feels like home right from the first step inside. I think that's because of the love and happiness shown by our colleagues. They will really appreciate your warm review, thank you.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Whenever I am asked about the health and welfare of my aunt, I can reply with complete confidence that she is very well looked after indeed. She is safe, warm, well-fed with a wonderful choice of home-cooked food and entertained to the level of her choice. Her welfare is paramount, with regular visits
from the hairdresser, podiatrist and priest. She always has clean clothes and similarly, her surroundings are kept spotless. The home itself may look a little old fashioned in some ways, but within that comes the comfortable feeling that it is a home - her home - and not a clinic. The staff at Cedar Lawn are caring, kind, polite and cheerful and give her confidence and dignity in her life there. Medical matters are promptly reported which is reassuring. The staff have dealt with the many challenges that Covid presents to the absolute best of their ability and are always helpful if I have any questions. Well done Cedar Lawn!

Reply from Helen Jones, C E O at Cedar Lawn Nursing Home

Thank you for your comprehensive review of Cedar Lawn. I am delighted to hear that you're comfortable and confident regarding the quality of your aunt's care.
Cedar Lawn does have that special home feeling doesn't it? and yes, the food is always delicious and plentiful. The team in Cedar Lawn is passionate about the residents and the home and that shows. It's a lovely place to be and I am delighted that you and your aunt are happy. Thank you.

My mum stayed at Cedar Lawn for 6 weeks of respite care. She was wonderfully looked after. It is a small and friendly home where all the staff are professional and caring and they treated her and us with the respect and personal attention we would wish. We would thoroughly recommend the nursing home
to others.

Reply from Helen Jones, C E O at Cedar Lawn Nursing Home

Thank you for your kind words. Respite care is such a great option for everyone involved, isn't it? Cedar Lawn is a warm and friendly home, where the team is respectful, committed and extremely caring. It's so important to us that you, as the family, feel supported and cared for as well. Thank you very much.

My mother came to live at Cedar Lawn following a stroke some three years ago.
We have always been impressed by the ‘feel’ of the place and the friendliness and kindness of the staff. This includes not just the nursing staff and care assistants but also the staff that run the kitchen, laundry, housekeeping,
activities and maintenance.
The house and grounds are well maintained, the food is very good and if a problem does occur I have found that it is dealt with promptly.

Reply from Helen Jones, CEO at Cedar Lawn Nursing Home

Thank you for your review of the Cedar Lawn team. I agree with you that all the team members generate warmth and kindness, as well as being extremely capable and committed to their work. Cedar Lawn is a lovely home in no small part because of its team. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.712)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.712) out of 10 for Cedar Lawn Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.712 for Cedar Lawn Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 184 Ratings = 4.712

  • 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 Lawn Nursing Home is based on 16 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 16 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.
