Dear Lynda,
Many thanks for your kind review. It was a real privilege to have been able to look after your mother for so long. We are delighted that you feel she was in good hands, and that you considered yourself to be part of our family, just as she was. She was certainly a lively character, joining in the activities and entertainment with real energy and enthusiasm. We remember many things about her – her determination to remain independent, her huge smile and how she loved to sing! During the seven years that she was with us, we got to know her well. We all loved her and she is very much missed here at the home. We would like to wish you and your family all the best for the future.

Hi Marion, many thanks for your kind review. We are so pleased to hear that you feel that your mother was safe and well looked after here at Cedars. We know how much she enjoyed all the activities and outings. Staff remember her as someone who joined in absolutely everything, determined to live life to the full. She loved the chair exercise sessions and singalongs – we couldn’t believe it when she brought her own karaoke machine with her into the home! She especially loved trips to the seaside and the next best thing for her was sitting in our garden with her sun hat on. Your mother was a huge personality who is very much missed by residents and staff.

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.774) 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 4.8 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.
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 4.774 for Cedars Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (169 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 212 Ratings = 4.774
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 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, 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.
