The care is superb. The staff are all wonderful. I really love the food and it is good to have pills sorted taking away the worry of remembering. Activities are good and varied.

What a really lovely home. Mum is thrilled to be at Cedrus House - she calls it her 5 star hotel. She is eating very well from an inspiring menu. She is encouraged to remain fit by engaging in gentle exercise and crafts. The personal care is respectful and completed with dignity. The cleanliness is faultless.

Mum moved into Cedrus House when it became too difficult to look after her at home because of the progression of her dementia - she lived there for the last two and a half years of her life. Caring for someone with dementia is challenging but I always felt the Cedrus team handled these challenges with sensitivity, respect and professionalism making a difficult situation as good as it could be - as such we never had doubts that Cedrus was the best place for Mum. So many thanks to all the team there.

I visit Cedrus House regularly (usually twice a week). All the staff are lovely, friendly and helpful - I am always made to feel welcome and part of the Cedrus family. Two staff members in particular on reception are welcoming and always have time for a chat. Another staff member is one of the most enthusiastic and engaging people I have ever met, speaking to new and potential residents and their families in a professional yet friendly manner. Another staff member always makes me laugh, nothing is ever too much trouble. Two staff members in particular run an amazing events programme and their enthusiasm is infectious. Chef and the catering team keep the residents well fed and the cakes in the coffee shop are legendary. And the place is always very clean and tidy. I love my visits and I am so pleased that the resident I visit is so happy and contented at Cedrus.

My mum was so content at Cedrus House. Staff were kind, knowledgeable, and professional. I couldn't have asked for anywhere better.

My mother-in-law was a resident of Cedrus House for over 6 years. In that time she received outstanding levels of care from all staff. Her safety and dignity were always paramount. Impressive staff retention levels, meant that many staff knew for the full six years, so knew her needs probably better than us. I was highly recommend Cedrus House for anyone needing personal care, nursing care, palliative care or dementia care, as Cedrus delivers the best.

My mum had spent 2 weeks in hospital and had come back to Cedrus which we were pleased about. I think when you have agencies on that have not been in before there should be something in place that they can check the needs of the residents. My mum has to be watched when taking her medicines because she hides them. When I came in one of the tablets was on her table, wardrobe open, curtains still drawn, no drink on the table and the bed was in a heap. On the whole I am very pleased with mums care but it always comes back to the same issue.

On my first visit to Cedrus house, I was overwhelmed by the space and openness of the home, the friendly family warm feeling you get when you enter the place. The care and understanding that my father receives is second to none. Nothing is too much trouble for the wonderful care team, that being from the senior leads downwards. Every member of staff gives and does their best for the residences. The choices on the daily menus, down to the day trips, fund raising fetes and individual outings, I don't think I could have found a more caring a home for my dad. I do feel that perhaps more staff is needed during the evening and sometimes the home has to use agency staff, who perhaps do not know the individual residents well enough, but over all Cedrus House is a lovely home.

My mum needed respite care while her usual carers were on holiday. I was apprehensive about mum staying at a care home for the first time, but need not have been. The staff at Cedrus House were wonderful, so cheerful, friendly and kind. Mum settled in immediately, and enjoyed joining in with the activities each morning and afternoon. Mum said there was a good selection of food which was excellent, including some delicious cakes in the cafe. Lots of friends visited mum at Cedrus House during her 2 week stay, and were very complimentary about it.

From our initial visit to Cedrus House we knew this was the care home we wanted our mum to live in. The staff are friendly and welcoming whenever we visit. Mum receives first class care, all of needs are attended to, from the wonderful carers, through to the kitchen staff providing lovely food and the cleaners keeping everywhere clean and tidy. For us personally, when we can't be with our mum it is comforting to know she is being cared for so well and she is safe.

My mother moved into Cedrus House following 9 Weeks in hospital. Mum was previously living in a supported living flat. She clearly needed more care but refused to live in a residential home. Following her hospital stay she was deemed by a mental capacity assessment to be needing 24 hour care and support. Cedrus House have provided excellent around the clock care. Mum has dementia but her physical health has improved hugely. She is eating a healthy diet and is now enjoying her food again. The carers are wonderful, lots of activities to entertain and enjoy and the home is spotlessly clean. Regular phone calls and emails of health/occurrences and updates. Highly recommend and I can not thank Cedrus House enough for their care and input into my mother's life.

Mum has been living at Cedrus House since July 2023, when her dementia was making it difficult for her to continue living on her own. She is very well cared for by the friendly staff who are very responsive to my requests and any concerns I have regarding her health and well being. All areas of the building are bright, clean and spacious, with some redecoration taking place over the summer. The quality of the food is excellent and there is a lot of choice as well as some inventive, fun ways to offer healthy alternatives. The activities offered are very varied and lots of fun. The team go out of their way to encourage mum to join in with singing, crafts and baking to name a few favorites, as well as participating in well organized trips out and about in the area. Knowing that mum is happy and in a caring and safe environment literally allows me to sleep a bit better at night. Thank you Cedrus House Team!

It was a tough call to place mum in a care home, but I'm so glad we chose Cedrus House. The initial introduction and admittance was so stress-free and the staff were all so reassuring to mum and us alike. Six months on, and I am delighted with how mum has settled in and enjoying the activities, the food and the care received. Whenever I have a concern, issue or request, the team there are super-responsive and it's very much appreciated.

We are very grateful for the selfless dedication given to mum's wellbeing by all staff, who have made mum feel safe, respected, cared for, and happy. Safety is a top priority for the care home. Carers have been diligent in encouraging and helping mum to exercise, as set out by her physiotherapist, and she is now able to walk using her rollator accompanied by a carer. This is remarkable, and is a huge improvement in her physical and mental health. Mum enjoys being in the lounge chatting with other residents, or in the coffee shop for musical events. She greatly enjoys the meals, joining other residents in the dining room. She particularly enjoys day trips out. Cedrus House is very well managed, from the laundry to the hairdressing salon to the cleanliness of her room and common areas. The garden is also well maintained. The whole experience is one of outstanding care, compassion and kindness, coupled with the highest level of professionalism. We are all very grateful that mum is there.

Could not recommend this care home more. They do everything they can for Mum and keep us the family informed of anything we need to know. Every day there are activities available for her to do. She has her hair done weekly, and her nails painted. Staff are friendly and always willing to have a chat as well as sort any problems we may have.

In a nutshell, 'wonderful!'. Exceptional care was provided for our lovely Nanny. The staff are all so lovely, approachable, and caring. Coming into Cedrus House feels like coming into our second home. This month we were so lucky to join Nanny and other residents on a trip to Felixstowe which was fantastic.

My family and I have been most impressed by the caring and compassionate manner in which our mother has been cared for at Cedrus House during the past year. The staff always make time for her and are most thoughtful to her needs. The staff's advice to the family has been first-class and we have always been closely involved in decision-making to ensure our mother is safe and well attended to.

I was invited to join my brother on a late afternoon/early evening trip to Felixstowe on the minibus stopping for fish and chip tea. The 3 staff were excellent, my brother had to be hoisted into a wheelchair and of course, special arrangments to go in the minibus. They went out of their way to make this possible as my brother is PEG a member of staff had to go along to do this.

I attended the Valentine's meal and music afternoon. I have to say the carers are outstanding, the care home is the best around I've always thought it was nice when I visit weekly but today blew my mind on how much the staff make the residents happy and content, keep up the work.

My aunt arrived at Cedrus House in March this year after suffering a nasty fall and being unable to return home. We were made so welcome by the staff on the day she arrived, which made such a huge difference. This same caring approach, now she is a resident, has continued and helped her settle in well. Everyone on the staff is friendly, helpful and kind and nothing is too much trouble. It is peace of mind for me, other family members, and friends to know that she is safe and being so well cared for.
