My mother has been at Cedar Lodge Care Home for almost three years. The staff are the absolute best - highly professional but also friendly, kind and caring. Whenever I visit, I am made to feel very welcome. If I have any queries, they are dealt with promptly and, likewise, if the nursing staff have
any concerns regarding Mum, they get in touch without delay. I know that Mum is safe, well cared for, loved and treated with dignity and respect. I never have to worry about her, well at least not any more than is normal for a caring daughter! Unfortunately, as Mum is confined to bed, she is unable to join in with the many fabulous activities available. However, as the staff know that Mum loves birds, they have put a bird feeding station right outside her window so she can watch all the goings on from her bed. Just one of the many kindnesses Mum has experienced. I'm so glad we found Cedar Lodge - Mum couldn't be in a better place and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Dad has been at Cedar Lodge for 18 months and sadly recently passed away there. He was looked after by all the staff in a gentle and kindly manner and I felt supported by everyone and allowed to visit whenever I liked to enable me to be with Dad. If there were any changes in his condition then we were
contacted and given opportunities to discuss his care whenever needed. Although the staff were always very busy, we were never hurried and always treated with patience and kindness. Thank you to everyone who made Dad’s final months as comfortable and dignified as possible.

My father entered Cedar Lodge Care Home after suffering from a number of falls, which eventually resulted in a broken hip. After failing to recover mobility, he entered Cedar Lodge in November 2022. All of the staff, from the moment he moved in, were always so accommodating. Whenever I turned up to
visit, everyone knew who I was and who I was there to see. As Dad's condition deteriorated, everyone ensured that Dad remained comfortable. Sadly, he passed away on 19th May but again, I cannot say enough about how kind all of the staff were.

When I visited my grandmother at Cedar Lodge Care Home I was pleased to see how happy and content she was. She was clean and well-dressed and seemed in good spirits. The staff all knew her by name and laughed and joked with her. Even though my grandma is not compos mentis, it made her smile and she
enjoyed herself. The care and attention for residents is excellent I have every confidence Grandma is in the best place possible.

In October 2021, I needed to find a care home for my mum after she had experienced a couple of falls at home. Having seen other care homes where my Mother in Law was, I was dreading trying to find somewhere where she would be safe, comfortable and well looked after. My wife made the initial visit and
her feedback was all very positive, Chalk and Cheese compared to where her mum ended up! Mum was starting to show some early signs of memory problems, but could still comprehend what was happening to her. We initially did a few weeks of respite care to see how she settled. This was arranged very quickly and she settled in easily, the care and support she has received since can only be described as excellent. The home itself is nicely located and well equipped, food and facilities are all very good. The key difference is the staff, everyone from the care team, cleaning, laundry, admin, activities, nursing and management is outstanding. I know I can trust this team to fully take care of Mum.

At short notice, we looked at three care homes and chose Cedar Lodge Care Home for our mum. We are so pleased we did! The location is superb and the garden is a pleasant, well-tended space where we spent many hours outside in the summer. It is clean and bright inside with many activities and visiting
entertainment. It is the staff that makes Cedar Lodge, it has such a happy, friendly, caring atmosphere. All the staff are kind, respectful, compassionate and go above and beyond to make us all feel welcome.

My mother-in-law has been in Cedar Lodge Care Home for ten years and I cannot praise the kindness and care offered by all the staff over that time. Visiting is allowed without notice. Rooms are en-suite, comfortable and large. The home may not have the grand pianos and chandeliers that others have but
what it lacks in bling it makes up for in kindness, empathy and caring, it has a really lovely atmosphere. Sadly my mother-in-law passed away in December 2022 at the age of 97 but she was always treated with respect and dignity. Cannot praise it highly enough.

Cedar Lodge Care Home staff provided my aunt with exceptional care throughout her residency. Their love and patience made her feel like she had a new extended family and I can only thank them all for the kindness they showed. The activities provided were varied and many, my aunt particularly enjoyed
dominoes and live music. I highly recommend Cedar Lodge as a care home.

My mother stayed at Cedar Lodge Care Home for respite care, following a hip replacement. Thanks to the care and attention she received, her recovery was greatly improved. The staff were very caring and attended to her with respect, they always spoke to us as a family which made us all feel welcome.
As my mother has to follow a specific diet, this was handled well, although she felt the portions could have been larger. Overall, the care was excellent and my mother enjoyed her stay, she has returned home, able to live independently again.

Very happy with the service provided at Cedar Lodge Care Home. The staff are all helpful and looked after my mother well. We were kept up to date on changes during lockdown and measures were quickly put in place to enable relatives to see each other via technology methods when we could not visit in
person. I would highly recommend Forest Care.

My mother is a resident at Cedar Lodge Care Home. We could not have chosen a better, more friendly residence for her. Because we live a long way away, we need to know that she is safe and well-cared for, in every respect. Cedar Lodge delivers on every level. The staff are fully engaged in the residents'
care and needs. The activities leader does a wonderful job providing a wide range of interesting activities to keep everyone happy and participating. There is a Skype facility available, which is a huge bonus for relatives who live a distance from their loved ones. The grounds are beautiful and the meals menu is extensive. Our mother really enjoys getting her hair, onsite, done too. Finally, the manager is extremely experienced and promotes an "open door" policy which means that relatives can be kept fully informed or ask any questions and can expect full and comprehensive replies and attention. I would give Cedar Lodge ten stars if I could!

My mother and mother-in-law have both been looked after by the brilliant, caring and friendly staff at Cedar Lodge Care Home. All very professional in what they do and help residents feel that they have activities to enjoy whatever their interests are. So many of the staff have been working there over
a long period and got to know the residents and their relatives. Nothing seems too much trouble. The home is very well-equipped with a lovely activities room, garden area and lounge. Nursing staff update you regularly and we always felt they had time to help us understand how Mum and Mum-in-Law were doing. We definitely feel that choosing Cedar Lodge was the best decision we made for the care of our relatives.

My stepfather enjoyed a very comfortable 13-months at Cedar Lodge. We found the level of care he experienced to be of the highest quality. The staff have been very professional and courteous, and in my opinion, have looked at the challenges of ongoing family visits during the Covid period extremely
well. Whilst he was in the main, unable to enjoy the organised activities, it's evident that the staff do all they can to ensure a pleasurable experience as possible for all their residents.

Picking a home for Mum when she hadn’t accepted that she needed care was extremely hard. This was made easy by the support of all staff at Cedar Lodge and the atmosphere of the home. On my first visit, I was welcomed by everyone. The activities room was buzzing with residents all chatting and obviously
happy. Mum went to Cedar Lodge after hospital, the staff cared for Mum’s needs but also my needs giving me time to talk. The first time I got a call at 8 pm from the nurse I panicked but this is normal practice to keep in touch with the family. When leaving late one evening, the residents were returning to their rooms, the chatter and laughter between them and staff was so wonderful and my choice was reaffirmed. When Mum fell ill again, the staff looked after Mum until the ambulance took her to the hospital, they kept me informed and when she amazingly returned, she was welcomed back like a member of the family. “I’m so happy to be back here, they are all so kind to me” acceptance from Mum!

I can't thank you enough for the care and kindness you gave Mum during her month-long respite stay following her operation. Cedar Lodge kept me updated with Mum's progress and were always available for Mum whenever she needed anything. Everywhere felt Covid safe. The manager and the team make this a
happy, efficient and thriving care home. I would have no hesitation in recommending Cedar Lodge. Thank you.

My sister was admitted to Cedar Lodge Nursing Home on 11th January 2018 as I had been diagnosed with Osteoperosis and could no longer look after her. She was repeatedly falling over and I could not lift her. She was given an excellent room and the care she has had and continues to enjoy is outstanding.
I have always been contacted if she has had a fall and told if she has needed to go to the hospital. I have not been able to visit during the Covid pandemic as I am 79, however I can talk to her on the phone. This excellent nursing home has not had one case of Covid.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.760)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.760) out of 10 for Cedar Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.760 for Cedar Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (240 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 283 Ratings = 4.76

  • 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 Lodge is based on 23 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 23 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.
