“Mum has been a resident of Cedar Lodge for three years and we are so lucky to have found such a warm, caring and very professionally run home for her…Staff are always friendly, responsive, on top of mum’s current needs and medical appointments and importantly she has developed close bonds with many of them…We are so grateful to all of the team who work tirelessly but in good humour to the benefit of mum’s health, well-being and our own peace of mind.”
“We have no doubt the level of care and compassion they provide is the reason she is with us today. Her quality of life is far better – varied and stimulating and she is very happy to call it “home”. It gives our family great comfort knowing they are providing the best care she needs at this time of her life. We highly recommend Cedar Lodge.”
“Without exception all the staff are wonderful and they are deeply committed to what they do because it comes from the heart and there is a real sense of community amongst them. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they are always proactive in attending to my wife’s needs…Cedar Lodge is without doubt exceptional for what they do and I cannot thank them enough.”

“I want to thank you so much Nenita for arranging the wonderful Mother’s Day yesterday. The afternoon tea was absolutely delightful with all the girls, it was a real treat! I’ve told the staff it was the best Mother’s Day I’ve ever had! We had such a laugh with all the different characters, of whom you have many! It’s a great personality mix, I really love that. You deserve all the accolades you receive; you and your staff work so hard to make Cedar a very special place. I think you should advertise it as a care hotel rather than a care home. Keep up the wonderful work. Your staff are a real credit to you.”
“Although my father was only a resident for two weeks prior to his death, he was treated with the utmost compassion, care and kindness by all those who came into contact with him. This also applied to his family and friends – nothing was too much trouble, and someone was always available to answer any questions. As a family we would like to thank everyone for their care and kindness – at such a stressful time.”
“We were very lucky to find Cedar Lodge. My father was with them for a year during which all the carers and wider staff treated him with immense kindness, compassion and care. The nursing team were brilliant – they were highly accessible and offered frequent feedback without needing to be asked.”
