From the moment you enter the main entrance, there is an air of quality about the home, luxurious surroundings, pleasing to the eye, very much in keeping with what my wife was used to in her own home. The facilities are first class, from the quality meals cooked by in-house chefs, comfortable lounges,
hairdressing salon, and organised activities every day. Healthcare professionals visit regularly to cater to residents needs. The love and care shown to my wife by all staff and the attention to detail have been absolutely amazing. The staff are all directly employed by the company, no agency staff, the residents not having to get to know an ever-changing number of carers, thereby creating a 'family' atmosphere which is of benefit to the residents. At present, with visitors not allowed during the Covid-19 pandemic, Cedar Mews have provided a media service to enable families to see and speak to residents from their own home. Cedar Mews is very professional in what it does.

My 15 day stay for respite care, whilst adaptions to my home were taking place, couldn’t have been made more pleasant. All staff from carers to the management team were extremely professional, friendly, compassionate and always willing to give their help regardless of how busy they were. I was dreading
the thought of having to stay in a care home for respite care but my fears quickly disappeared as soon as I arrived. First-class care from a first-class team. Thank you all so much.

We found the whole experience, from the moment we entered the door to be warm, friendly, helpful and understanding. The staff took time to introduce themselves and were interested in not just the resident's welfare but our own too. It goes without saying the home is clean, comfortable and safe. Although
this was just a short term stay for us, we would now consider this to be our second home and the only nursing home Mum would be happy to spend longer periods of time in, if and when required.

My husband has been a resident in Cedar Mews for almost a year, after several stays for respite care. Last week one of his daughters came from her home in Bulgaria to visit him. It coincided with my five-year-old granddaughter staying over for half term. We had a lovely lunch together in the ground
floor dining room, a real (extended) family occasion that we all enjoyed. One of the aspects of the special care provided by Cedar Mews' staff that I particularly value is their understanding of how important it is to support not only the resident but also the family. We certainly need looking after too when times are not as good as on this happy occasion.

My mum has been at Cedar Mews for about 8 months now and the home and facilities are beyond compare. It is unlike any other care home I have ever visited before, I have been in many in my previous career as a police officer. I visited my mum who has dementia this week and together with other residents
she was taken outside by staff members and all were fully engaged by the staff members and myself also included in conversation. The staff took a real genuine interest in what the residents had to say, treated with the utmost dignity. It leaves me feeling mum could not be in a better place or want for any better care. Well done to all staff at Cedar Mews.

Cedar Mews facilities are the highest quality we have experienced in a care home in the East Midlands. However for us, more importantly, is the quality of the team caring for our mum. The team members we met at Cedar Mews are wonderful, the passion for and professional approach to caring for all residents
is obvious at all times. There are always planned and diverse activities on offer, excellent meal options, and great clinical and administrative oversight. It is also the little touches that Cedar Mews provide that give us the comfort and understanding that mum is in the right hands.

My husband had to go into care Sept 2017 when I became unwell and his various conditions made it impossible to live at home. He died in his sleep in November 2018. During his time at Cedar Mews he experienced constant excellent care, attention and kindness even though at times his behaviour could be
difficult. The staff also supported myself and the rest of the family in the same caring way.

It's been over 12 months since I made the hard decision to move my loved one into a care home. From the start, Cedar Mews made it easier to bear. From initial discussion to settling in and the ongoing daily ups and downs of care home life, as a family member, I have felt part of their hardworking team.
Help with hospital appointments, open and honest discussions over ever-changing care needs have always been there. The love that is shown in the home by all of the team and the sense of humour the staff maintain despite juggling so many different individual care needs is a credit to all of them. I know when I'm not there that he is surrounded by people who care for him and who know what makes him happy and who do the best they can to meet his needs. Visiting is a pleasure as I always get a warm welcome from both the staff, my loved one and the other amazing residents. Privacy and dignity is respected and I feel I made the right decision for Cedar Mews to be the care home of choice.

Reply from Ben Dalgetty, Home Admissions Advisor at Cedar Mews Care Home

Thank you for your review. Our aim is to extend the independence and dignity of all of our residents to ensure that they and their loved ones are happy in our care. His contagious cheeky sense of humour makes him a delight to be around and to look after. Thanks again. Ben.

I am a neighbour of a lady in the care home and she was struggling on her own. After being in this care home her quality of life has improved and she is so much happier. I would recommend this home to anyone, because that is what it is, a home. The activities that are provided to the residents are second

I have visited Cedar Mews on several occasions and always found the staff the same, friendly, caring and welcoming. The rooms are modern and spotless. My Aunt always enjoys staying here because she is taken care of and I don't have to worry about her when I'm away. The staff also make sure the visitors
are comfortable. I have also had a meal with my Aunt in the friendly dining room and really enjoyed it.

From the moment we met with senior management from Cedar Mews, we knew this was a care home with a difference. Little did we know at that point just by how much. From our very first visit with our Mum, for an informal chat, in their welcoming coffee lounge, to the tour of beautiful, bright, airy bedrooms
and engaging facilities, we were stunned. Even after Mum became a resident, with a terminal illness, we continued to be amazed at the level of care and compassion. Nothing was ever too much trouble and her end of life stage was handled with such sensitivity and utmost dignity. A special mention for the senior carer and night manager who were so supportive and caring of our family's needs at such a distressing time. Thank you will never be enough.

From the initial contact, through the assessment and offer of a place to our Mother, we found the senior management at Cedar Mews, approachable, friendly and extensively knowledgeable. They were able to answer ALL our questions and concerns and put us all at ease. Having had to face such a difficult
decision, due to a terminal diagnosis, we very soon felt relieved, as our Mother continued to receive excellent care and attention. It became apparent that having a purpose-built building, along with the home's ethos of attending to social, psychological, and physical needs, we felt very fortunate to have had access to such excellent care. It was like Cedar Mews embraced our Mother within their own 'family' and everyone engaged with her in a respectful and dignified manner. Whatever time of day, that we visited, the genuine care was easily in evidence. We would summarise this as finding a place where "true professionalism and compassion met" at a time when we needed it most. THANKYOU.

I stayed at Cedar Mews for three months respite care following a broken arm and found the whole experience very enjoyable.
The care that I received was of a very high standard and there was a feeling of 'community spirit' within the home. I very much appreciated the food and social activities and would
stay again if it became necessary or for respite care.

My father was in Cedar Mews for respite care following a broken arm in early January. I could not have picked a better care home for him. From first entering Cedar Mews for a tour around we found that all the staff were very caring and extremely helpful. This was very much appreciated as it was our
first foray into the world of adult social care. I would thoroughly recommend Cedar Mews and my father is hoping to return for respite care when we are away from the area.

Mum was a guest at Cedar Mews from January until last week when she sadly passed away. I can not put in words the care and compassion that all of the staff demonstrated towards Mum which allowed her to die with dignity.
In particular, I would like to say thank you to the "Senior Carers" who Mum was
very fond of and spent a lot of time with her in her final few weeks. They truly went above and beyond.
Thank you also to the management team who have provided significant support to both myself and Mum. The Chef who went to great lengths to find something which Mum could/would eat (she was very fond of his cheese and leek sausages, which he would cut the skins off, so Mum was able to eat them).
The receptionist has also provided great support and it's the cakes which she has provided to me on a daily basis which has kept me going.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cedar Mews to anyone and am grateful to everyone there.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.840)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.840) out of 10 for Cedar Mews Care Home 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.840 for Cedar Mews Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (180 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 213 Ratings = 4.84

  • 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 Mews Care Home is based on 18 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 73 registered maximum number of service users is 14.6, which has been reached with 18 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.
