I don't live in the area so would be unlikely to recommend the home to others.
It has taken many months to repair a lift, which causes problems at times. I feel that management are failing in some areas, the neglect of the lift being one obvious item. The staff appear attentive and responsive to all
enquiries made by myself.
My mother appears happier more recently with staff.

All staff helpful and welcoming at all times. Mum has been very well looked after. She enjoys having her hair and nails done each week. The medical care is excellent. She doesn't like some of the food but, is eating more since being at Cedar Lodge. She enjoys almost all of the entertainment. She likes
all the staff and says they are all very kind, she likes the cheeky ones!

In my personal opinion, Cedar Lodge is a very good home. I feel my mum is safe at Cedar Lodge and well looked after. There has always been an open door policy at Cedar Lodge. The staff and management have always been able to help with any problems we have experienced. They have a communication book
in the office and anything we have got the staff to write in it, it has always been done or sorted out. It would be very nice if Cedar Lodge could have access or even own a minibus so residents could go out on more day trips. They are always happier after a good day out! Residents and staff!

My father had been a resident in Cedar Lodge for two and a half years until his death earlier this month.
During that time he was treated with great care, affection and respect by the staff.
I liked the fact that there were few changes in personnel and this was down in no small part to the compassionate
leadership of the person promoted to manager during this time.
If you are looking for a caring, friendly and personal care home, where all residents are loved and valued, then I would highly recommend Cedar Lodge.
We will miss it hugely and its talented staff.

Cedar Lodge Nursing Home provides excellent care in my experience of regular visits to my father in the past two and a half years.
The staff are amazing there are plenty of carers around who sensitivity work hard to meet the needs of my father. There is a great continuity of care with so many staff
who work there for years and kindly get to know the residents.
The environment is relaxing and plenty of space and a lovely atmosphere as you walk through the door. I would highly recommend this home.

Mum went to Cedar Lodge in December for respite care after being discharged from hospital. This was very easy to arrange. She took a while to settle in as she was very independent and wanted to go back to her home garden.
From the day she arrived the staff couldn't have been nicer to her, nothing
was too much trouble, she had a lovely room. As her health deteriorated it was decided she would become a resident. Our mum has now sadly passed away but her family were really impressed with how she was treated in palliative care. All the kindness shown to us made a difficult time easier to deal with.

Cedar Lodge Nursing Home has always given my mum excellent care. All the staff are helpful and approachable if we have any concerns. There are many activities the residents can get involved in. The outside area has recently, over the past year, been improved making it a lovely place to sit or view from
the windows.

In July 2016 I experienced a few falls at home and in the garden.
My daughter realised it was no longer safe to live on my own.
She called an ambulance to take me to the hospital.
This was followed by going for rehabilitation at another one from which I came to stay in this care home at the end of
July.
I was pleasantly surprised by the room allocated to me which I now call "home".
My window overlooks a lovely garden where I could see trees and flowers, many various birds, tables and chairs, also wooden seats for residents' use.
The room is perfect for my needs and has a bed, fitted wardrobe, chest of drawers also comfortable armchair, a table, hand wash basin and mirror, door leading to the toilet.
There is a large lounge and TV, also a dining room with small tables for four people with fresh flowers on each.
Various entertainment and outings.
I am glad this is the home chosen for me.
I wouldn't change it for anything.

We believe the most important requirement in a care home is the quality of the staff. At Cedar Lodge they are all friendly and helpful. The care staff are professional and really interested in the residents. There are plenty of activities and flexibility in here and each resident cared for.

Simply put, Cedar Lodge helped my mother, my family and me on a journey of care. The sympathetic way they approached a very difficult situation was outstanding.
As a family, we benefitted from exemplary care and understanding and cannot fault a well-run establishment.

My mother was at Cedar Lodge for two weeks respite care following a stay in hospital. From the outset, the home manager was so helpful in getting mum a place at Cedar Lodge at short notice. At all times we as a family have been very pleased with all aspects of mum's care here and she herself has expressed
her satisfaction with her stay. We will certainly keep Cedar Lodge in mind when mum requires permanent care and would not hesitate to recommend to others. It gave us reassurance knowing she was in good hands.

The call bell was always answered promptly, even at night and the staff in all departments always had a willing smile. In the communal rooms or at meals, even raising a hand would bring a staff member. As requested I always find a female helper for toilet needs. The room I slept in was normally cleaned
and tidied when I was not in it and staff readily fetched extra chairs when I had visitors and offered the visitors tea or coffee. My laundry was never lost but was not always returned to me promptly although everything was labelled. The food was excellent and the cooks caring but the portions were usually too large for elderly people! The large lounge downstairs could get too noisy so the small lounge upstairs was a welcome refuge for peace and quiet with a view of the garden thrown in.

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.
