Once again we were invited to an event at the Cedar Lodge Nursing Home. This occasion was to celebrate the Chinese New Year. We were treated to a wonderful lunch cooked by the chef and his staff, served by all the nurses and helpers and shared with all the residents. This was a very happy occasion
for everyone. The happy atmosphere created by all the staff, who worked very hard to make us so welcome. So a huge thank you to the manageress and all her staff for a lovely afternoon.

My father-in-law was admitted to Cedar Lodge Nursing Home at the end of January 2017. During the few months, he has been a resident he has been treated with care and compassion. We are kept informed of any medical changes and encouraged to be involved in any decision making. The staff are very friendly,
helpful and any issues dealt with quickly.
The home is very welcoming to family and friends. We are very pleased with the care my father-in-law continues to receive and would have no hesitation in recommending Cedar Lodge.

The food needs to be up to date
A couple of weeks ago my Nan was given 3 chicken fingers and 3 potato crochets. The food here is nice but that is all she got for her dinner.
It is nice food just needs a bit more nutritional value in the food. She is a 97-year-old woman with dementia. She deserves
some nutritional value in her meals.


I really like this care home the staff are all so loving and caring. Please just put a bit more nutritional value into the food. (it is nice though!!!!!!!)
Thank you for taking care of my Nan.

My mother was a resident of Cedar Lodge Nursing Home for nearly 10 years, it was through the expertise of the staff that she lived to a grand age of 99 years before she died this month February 2018. Their kindness, love and care all tributed to my mother's well-being. I would recommend Cedar Lodge
to anyone that will listen to me especially if they have loved ones that need that special care that Cedar Lodge gives to all their residents.

My mother recently passed away at Cedar lodge following being a resident for 2 years 3 months. I cannot thank the staff enough for their care and compassion. I visited every week at all times of day and was always welcomed as a guest. I was constantly updated with my mother's changing condition and
medical needs. I can only say that to the end of her life she was given the fullest life possible and was safe clean, well fed and had dignity. Thank you all so much.

Mum was diagnosed with vascular dementia and also Alzheimer's disease in November 2015. She, initially, went into Cedar Lodge for respite care as my husband and I were going away for a celebratory 60th birthday holiday of 10 days to the Bahamas. She went from respite care to becoming a permanent resident.
Cedar Lodge have very caring and respectful staff. The home is very clean and kept well and mum's days at the home are enjoyable and as pleasant as it is possible for them to be for her.

Staff are very friendly and courteous and treat the residents with care and dignity. Any issues that have arisen have been addressed in a satisfactory manner.
Cleanliness is good but the home is a little "tired" and in need of the planned makeover. The quality of the food provided to residents is
sometimes not as good as it could be and is very dependent on the chef of the day.

We were called into the office and told what we thought would be the case that Mum has settled in and can be at times difficult. This we know.
She is always clean and tidy and comfortable and gives us no concern to her well-being.

I am very satisfied with my mother's treatment at Cedar Lodge. The staff are very caring and take the trouble to interact with her - everyone knows who she is. The overall atmosphere is excellent, with clean bright rooms, good food etc. and my mother gets good medical and nursing attention.


The

only real criticism I have concerns my mother's hearing aids. Despite several discussions and even emails, the staff do not regularly check the state of the appliances
( batteries wax build up etc.) which limits her communication and when we visit they are often not functioning. I am sad that this hasn't been addressed.


I feel that my mother is in a safe place and am grateful for the care she gets.

My mother was moved from another home in Ash Vale. Although the staff were very friendly, the home was poorly managed. Cedar Lodge also has very friendly and caring staff, but with the difference of being very well managed. I would recommend this home to anyone. It is excellent.

My mother was assessed very quickly and brought into the home with a minimum of fuss and a lot of kind attention both from nurses and carers. I feel happy that she is in a warm, comfortable place and that her needs are attended to in a kind respectful way enabling her to retain her dignity at the end
of her life.

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.
