Cedar Lodge is deserving of the highest praise as all the staff have worked so hard to keep the home safe during this dreadful pandemic, Covid 19. My husband had been a resident from 17.02.2019 till his death on 14.12.2020, having suffered for nearly 19 years from Parkinson's. During his stay at the
home, we found the staff to be kind and understanding. From 6th July my husband had been bedbound and had to be turned every two hours and the nurses and carers were brilliant. Cedar Lodge is in the excellent, capable hands of its manager. She and her staff run the care home as a team and it is the strength of the teamwork that makes the home so outstanding as they cater for all the needs of their residents. I feel Cedar Lodge does go the extra mile for its residents, their families and friends.

Thank you for your compassion, support and professionalism in looking after our dad. Your attention to detail in getting to know him, plan his medical needs and care for him every day was outstanding. We were particularly appreciative of your experience in palliative care. Dad's 4 months with you were
comfortable, pain-free and peaceful. Thank you for welcoming my brother, sister and me into Cedar Lodge too - nothing was too much trouble and your willingness to let us be with dad or speak to him on Skype daily during COVID-19 gave us reassurance and comfort. We want to express our gratitude to all the staff and highly recommend Cedar Lodge - you are a fabulous, caring team!

I cannot recommend Cedar Lodge highly enough. I found the care for my mother, on every level, of a very high standard. The staff were lovely and caring. The food was excellent. Mum got her appetite back whilst staying. We always enjoyed going to visit Mum as Cedar Lodge felt cosy and safe and as a
result, the whole experience was very reassuring at a time when it could have felt the opposite. Thank you all at Cedar Lodge for making a difficult time so much better.
I'd also like to add you had your finger on the button very early on during this Covid problem which was also very reassuring. All in all brilliant.

Dad initially arrived at Cedar Lodge for two weeks respite care only but it very shortly became obvious this was palliative care. The team was more than happy to accommodate his change of circumstances and he spent his last few weeks surrounded by a loving, caring team. He was treated extremely kindly
and with dignity and some of the activities (the organ playing and the donkey) were brought to him to enjoy. The food was lovely. I would fully recommend to anyone else looking for a care home.

Lovely staff, so friendly, understanding, kind and supportive. Very hard working. Very supportive if family members wish to be with their family.
Very supportive manager and administrator - helped us secure funding.
Almost all staff explain to residents what all the medicines are.
Food is excellent,
residents choose what they would like.
Organist, and 'donkeys' taken to rooms of those who are bed bound.
Very pleased. Would recommend.

I am so thankful that Cedar Lodge was available to my mother. The care and respect she received during her stay made her last few weeks bearable. Nothing was too much trouble and her dignity was maintained throughout. The support given to the family was outstanding. My thanks to everyone involved. Unfortunately
mum was unable to enjoy all the activities on offer.

The Cedar Lodge Care Home is always very clean, well kept and pleasant smelling. Staff are amazing, polite, kind and helpful to visitors and relatives. They are even more wonderful for the residents and are unfailingly tolerant, patient, caring and remarkably and consistently cheerful, even in the face
of depressed, miserable and difficult residents. I am incredibly grateful for their fantastic care for my very difficult mother.

My father has been at Cedar Lodge for 8 weeks and when he arrived he was in very bad shape. All the staff, nurses, carers, admin staff and utility staff have been quite simply exceptional in looking after him. The nurses are knowledgeable, kind, gentle and professional and have healed Dad in a very
short time. He is treated with kindness, patience and good humour by Carers and Nurses, I visit regularly and every time I go he is clean, content and well cared for and the things he needs are to hand. The staff take time to talk to Dad and to talk to me about his progress and there is a welcome every time I go. The food is very good. There isn’t one single thing that I would change about Cedar View. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone who needed a place for their loved one. I feel I can trust them to take care of Dad and I don’t have to worry any more.

The home is set on a very pleasant site, which is quiet, considering how close it is to the local roads. The decor of the newly decorated interior is pleasing to the eye. The services that are provided, such as the hairdressing, is excellent and seems to be greatly appreciated by all of the residents.
All in all a very comfortable and well-run home.

My wife has been a resident at Cedar Lodge for three and a half years to date and I have witnessed many changes, all beneficial throughout. During all the months of upheaval, the Manager and staff coped with extremely well. One thing I must say is that Cedar Lodge is more than a Nursing Home it becomes
a home for the residents achieved by the hard work of the staff.

The home is always a pleasure to visit and it's immediately obvious that the staff are well motivated and enjoy the working atmosphere. This, in my opinion, reflects the excellent management team who have always been on hand when dealing with the inevitable issues which arise when dealing with elderly

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.
