The carers at Cedar Lodge Nursing Home looked after my auntie with love, respect and dignity. During her last few days, they were exceptionally lovely to my family when we were sat with her, they keep us fed and watered and were very understanding. My sincere thanks and gratitude for everything they
have done.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

From the day mum was admitted to Cedar Lodge from hospital, we had no cause to doubt she had landed in the best home possible. Her doubts were met with reassurance; her tears and scowls met with smiles; her humour welcomed with shared laughter. Soon - not only mum, but all of us - felt Cedar Lodge was
'home'. The standard set from the top, the warmth from every staff member, whatever their role and the unfussy but respectful delivery of 'care' defined that every word. Always fresh, clean, cheery and joyful, Cedar Lodge showed us what it is really all about - happy, living normality for its residents. Sadly mum died recently, after three wonderful years at the home she loved and felt such contentment in. Her palliative care, conducted with such dignity, respect and love for her, was the work of angels. We can never thank Cedar Lodge and all who are there enough.

Reply from Nenita Jopson, Manager at Cedar Lodge

Thank you so much Jane for your great compliment! Such a pride and rest assured we will continue to look after all the residents with lots of care and compassion!

My sister-in-law needed 24 hour nursing before being discharged from hospital and I am very pleased to say Cedar Lodge has provided excellent care in an appropriate setting. It seems we were very lucky when you see and read about other horrific homes.

My mum has been a resident here at Cedar Lodge for one and a half years, she has been made very welcome, and has always felt safe and secure. The manager is very caring and takes any worries mum has very seriously, and quickly resolves any anxieties mum has. The staff always have time for her and the
care mum receives is very good. She loves all the activities and I have peace of mind my mum is safe, happy and secure. I am very pleased with the quality of love and care here at Cedar Lodge.

I found the whole process of dealing with management and staff at Cedar Lodge are excellent. The manager and all the staff were very friendly and helpful with regard to a short term stay. From the time I spent visiting and participating in the 'Queens' Birthday Tea Party it is clear that the residents
are very well cared for. The staff and residents (and visitors) had a good time and obviously all enjoyed the afternoon.

My husband has been a resident (including respite care) for only 7 weeks but has settled well all being well, expect him to remain here as his condition deteriorates. Since my mother and brother in law have both been long term residents of care homes my choice of Cedar Lodge Nursing Home for my husband
was made with some experience. Although I cannot comment particularly on dietary matters or personal care my husband appears to be much better looked after than he was at home. The level of staffing, the cheerfulness and calm approach of the girls and the decoration of the home, all combine to reassure me that he is in the right hands.

My father has only been in Cedar Lodge for a short time and is receiving palliative care which means constant care and attention. The happy atmosphere helps us to deal with a difficult time and the caring and professional staff are always quick to respond to any problem that arises. I feel confident
that he is receiving the best care.

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.
