"Cedars cared for my mother superbly so when my husband needed help, I could no longer provide (he has Lewy body dementia) I knew where to contact. He has been there for 16 months now. He is settled, extremely well cared for and genuinely loved by the carers who say he is a perfect gentleman. I can sleep soundly."

"My parent has been a home resident for 18 months. They have been treated with the utmost care, dignity, and support. The staff offer exemplary personalised care and show such thoughtful kindness at every step. My parent is happy, settled, and feels at home. We could not ask for more and have no concerns for their happiness and wellbeing. We unreservedly recommend the home to anyone needing or considering care."

"My mother stayed at The Cedars twice on respite and is now a resident, that says it all! The surroundings are fabulous. It's like one big family. Even me, as a visitor, feels part of it. As a son, I want the best I can get for my mum and I don't think I could find anywhere better. I have marked everything as excellent because that is how I feel."

"It is not the fabric of a care home that makes it a good placement for a loved one, it is the engagement with dedicated staff who are always welcoming and so kind. The Cedars Nursing Home has cared both for my late father and my mother who died this week with dignity and respect. I cannot speak highly enough of the dedication the staff show towards residents and visiting family and friends. Their approach is always sincere and nothing was too much trouble for them despite how busy they always are. I visited nearly every other day and at different times so I gained a real feeling about the care given. The manager has always been more than accommodating and at all times, so approachable. A real asset to the home, well done to all."

"Mum settled in very quickly on her first day at The Cedars. The staff were brilliant and really made her feel at home. The signing in process was very simple and painless. Loved the clothes making service. Mum's room was freshly decorated and spotlessly clean. I'm confident mum will be happy here. The activities lady has been fantastic and gets mum dancing and singing."

"When I was told mum needed to go to a nursing home, I was worried and nervous because of bad press. Cedars was recommended by a friend. The care she received there was excellent in every detail."

"My first impression of The Cedars was excellent and a pleasant relief because of bad press. We had looked online for care homes and were worried. We viewed another care home because it is local to us. We were nowhere near impressed as The Cedars. The care and attention to Mum was excellent, we couldn't have asked for more."

"My overall view of The Cedars is good. The staff are excellent, competent, caring and friendly. They treat the residents with care and dignity. They are also open and friendly to relatives and willing to take the time to chat and answer any queries or concerns. The activities are varied and interesting and care is taken to encourage residents and family alike to take part. The Cedars is definitely one of the better homes and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them."

"The care provided to my mother during her stay at The Cedars was second to none. The dedication, love and affection shown towards her by all the staff was amazing and ensured her comfort and safety throughout her stay. The relaxed, happy atmosphere created by the staff was a pleasure to experience and certainly was enjoyed by my mother. Thank you to the Manager and all the staff for what they did for my mother."

"I am very happy with the support my Mum has received since moving in. The staff are very helpful. The only comment is Mum arrived with her wheelchair which has now gone missing since the decorations. If it could be found that would be nice."

"My mum has been at Barchester The Cedars Nursing Home since June. It was a very rocky start to begin with as Mum wouldn’t settle but wow, how things have changed. My mum is now so happy at Cedars. The staff have been brilliant, not only with settling Mum but also towards us. All the staff are very friendly and genuinely want to do the best for my mum. Mum loves to chat and living at Cedars gives her the ability to be social and take part in many activities. The home has a welcoming feel as soon as you enter. I would highly recommend Cedars to anyone and allowing dogs to visit is a great bonus!"

"My nan has settled in well at Barchester The Cedars Nursing Home and there is always a warm welcome from the reception team and manager when I visit. My nan enjoys being able to freely socialise throughout the home with the new friends she has made. Nan is happy there and speaks highly of the staff."

"We would like to say a huge thank you for all the care and support that Dad receives. All the staff are great. Cedars is very homely and we are so happy that Dad lives here. Thank you so much to the guys in the kitchen who made a beautiful cake for Mum who had her 85th Birthday. Mum is not a resident but we were able to celebrate with Dad. Such a lovely moment and so grateful."

"I regard Barchester The Cedars Nursing Home as a second home where I can visit my husband whenever I wish and stay the whole day. He is looked after so wonderfully and feels surrounded not only by very competent, friendly staff but also an atmosphere of genuine warmth and never-ending kindness. All the staff, without exception, ensure that each resident is showered with affection and attention and welcomed within a very special happy community."

"We have received exceptional care over the last few months. My mum has been made to feel very welcome and I am reassured that she is cared for in a safe environment. The food standards have been amazing and each individual resident is catered for. We are always greeted with a friendly and warm welcome."

"My mum is at the end of her life. Throughout the time she has been at Barchester The Cedars Nursing Home, she has been so well looked after by patient, kind and caring staff. My mum has not been an easy resident. Her dementia has caused quite challenging behaviour. But throughout, everyone at The Cedars has worked so very hard to keep her calm and to look after her. Also, the communication with me has been so very good. If you are reading this review because you are looking for a care home, I recommend that you look no further - The Cedars is the place."

"Our dear friend travelled in October 2023 to be closer to good friends from the area. Sadly it was not destined to be a very long stay and she passed at The Cedars just before Christmas 2023. I was touched by the understanding and compassion of all the staff, particularly the manager who attended her Thanksgiving service with a colleague in the village. The compassion and efforts of the staff to try to help our friend settle and to enable me and other friends to feel comfortable and always welcome at the Cedars was really appreciated, despite the residents not always making their jobs easy. And there was also always a welcome and a desire to help when I telephoned. Thank you all."

"My Mum has been a resident since December 2023. All of the staff are amazing, and nothing is too much trouble. It feels like being part of a family. My father was also in the home for a short time before he passed away. The care given to both him and our family was exceptional; there was always a hug or cup of tea if needed. I would highly recommend this home to anyone."

"I would recommend this care home 100 times over. I would recommend the cake and coffee given to visitors/families as it is always delightful - go to the Cedars just to try it! The care staff are lovely, kind and friendly and always have a smile on their faces. Nothing is ever too much to ask. My partner has some high needs and they are very patient with him. If you are looking for a super care home, go here."

"Caring, compassionate and always positive is how I would describe every member of staff who looks after my mum at the Cedars Care Home. Altzheimers can make her difficult and demanding but she is treated with dignity and respect at all times. Clean and comfortable, beautiful surroundings, a huge range of activities and welcoming staff - I would highly recommend!"

"Cedars is a wonderful, caring home with great staff. My Mum has been a resident for nearly 3 months and I’ve been impressed with the standard of care. Communication with residents and family is also excellent. I visit most days and have got to know most of the staff and all are wonderful. The coffee and cake are great too!"

"My mother-in-law has been a resident at Cedars for a number of years. The care is outstanding. All the staff are efficient and very approachable. Nothing is too much trouble, their resident's care is always first priority. The activities team are amazing, they really do go the extra mile for every resident, nothing is too much trouble and special activities are arranged to make them feel special. Would highly recommend this special place."

"My husband died at The Cedars in November 2023. I cannot praise highly enough the devoted love and care my husband, family and I received from every single member of staff throughout that year, especially in the final few very difficult weeks. The atmosphere at the Cedars was never ever other than happy, loving and compassionate. I miss the welcome I got from my weekly visits and was very touched that some members of staff voluntarily attended his Thanksgiving Service."

"We very much appreciated the care and patience the team at Barchester The Cedars Nursing Home provided to my father. He was there nearly six months, transitioning from quite independent to very dependent. Cedars adapted their care as his needs changed and we felt they always had his best interests at heart. The staff were lovely and this made a real difference to my father, who wanted to maintain involvement in his care and to have a degree of companionship. We also found the broader team to be responsive to our needs as a family. Thank you."

"The Cedars Nursing Home was the second attempt at finding the right for Mum and I am so happy we found them. You are always greeted with a smile from every staff member you pass. They always make you feel welcome and care about the relative's welfare just as much as the residents. The most important thing for me was to have somewhere with calm energy as Mum has been through so much and The Cedars finally provides this. On Memory Lane, people are always treated with respect in a calm and friendly manner. Keep up the amazing work!"

"Our mother passed away recently after more than three years at the Cedars. The staff are all friendly, smiling and happy and Mum was really happy there. The buildings and surrounding gardens are lovely, there is a really wonderful variety of activities and events and the staff really do care for the residents. I knew my mum was popular there but I was genuinely touched by the number in tears and offering their condolences when she passed. I would not hesitate to recommend the Cedars to anyone looking for a home for their loved ones."

"A wonderful caring residential home. The staff are so friendly and the care they give is outstanding, not only to the residents but to their families. The home sits on the most beautiful grounds and is immaculate inside. My mother has only been there a short time but we are hoping she can stay as she feels safe and not alone, mum has made some friends and is very happy."

"The staff at Cedars Nursing Home always demonstrate a good knowledge of my mother, for example, will use my mother's unusual terminology when giving feedback. They use good skills to encourage her to engage in activities. The home's activities are central to the varied needs and interests of the residents and it is lovely to see much staff involved in the activities."

"I am overwhelmed at the standard of care my Mum receives at the Cedars. I moved her from another care home locally where I was very disappointed. The staff at the Cedars are fantastic. They CARE. They engage with the residents all the time. They genuinely want to make sure every resident is an individual and every need is met. The activities are geared to individuals and there is always something going on. The staff are very open to feedback and encourage regular meetings for families to hear about where they can improve. The food looks delicious and they create individual menus for residents. The new refurbishment is outstanding in quality and design - it's like a plush hotel! I am always greeted with a warm welcome from reception through to nursing care, housekeeping and laundry - everyone refers to me by name and I feel the staff are happy in their jobs and proud of where they work. Well done to the Barchester Team - you are amazing!"
