At times, more staff are needed, to help residents with feeding at meal times and more assistance needed with toileting, instead of waiting.
Residents are kept clean and tidy.
Meals are good.

Good care received, good food and a spacious bedroom. Friendly staff.
On occasions there seem to be a lack of staff in the lounge, when residents have needed assistance and residents have had to wait, e.g. going to the toilet. It would be better to have more staff because there are more residents.

Very pleased from the day my Nana arrived from another care home, previously there was no conversation or acknowledgement from her, but within an hour of arriving here, the change in my nana was unbelievable. It was like seeing bits of the nana I knew before she got dementia.
The staff and the level
of care they provide is exceptional and they know my nana more as a person than as a resident.
It's the little things that matter... what she likes etc. and stories about conversations they have with her.

Granny generally seems happy at the care home.
She likes all the carers and says that the food is of a good standard. She has good days and bad days but the staff always try to bring her round. When visiting, everyone is welcoming and friendly.

Looks to be a good improvement at the reception. My mother likes the home as she says it is friendly and clean. If she is happy I feel confident the care is of a good standard and I know she is in good hands.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Staff at the home are very caring not just to the resident but also for the family. Would be nice to see tablecloths/covers when residents are dining instead of bare tables, however, the care of the resident is the most important. The manager will always make himself available to families and discuss
issues, which when required are addressed, this I find very reassuring.


My relative is well cared for, what more could I ask?


Reply from Matt Binns, Manager at Cedars Care Home

Thank you for your positive review, Sheila, we look forward to seeing you soon.
Thank you, Matt.

My mother was admitted at very short notice after falling the previous night. She has received exceptional care and is now back to her usual self. Every member of staff has been kind, caring and responsive. Thank you to everyone.

My stepdad wasn't thrilled at the idea of leaving his home and staying away for a while.
He was quiet at first but after some encouragement from the staff, he became more settled.
The care and commitment he received were fantastic, the care staff and management were really friendly.
We felt at ease
knowing that he was in safe hands and a safe environment.

My grandad seemed to settle well at Cedars, he was a bit worried at first but soon he was ok. I think the staff that looked after him were lovely with him and reassured us, as a family, that he would be fine. He was clean and shaved, never looked dishevelled and seemed quite happy on visits.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.678)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.678) out of 10 for Cedars Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.678 for Cedars Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 236 Ratings = 4.678

  • 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 Cedars Care Home is based on 19 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 19 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.
