Cedar Lodge prides itself on being a ‘home’ in the truest sense with its warm, homely atmosphere and strong sense of community. Alongside our person-centred care, residents are always free to choose where and how they spend their time. Our open visiting policy in our care home in Camberley, Surrey means family and friends are welcome at any time.
All-inclusive fees cover hairdressing, physiotherapy, chiropody, massage therapy, trips out, and other facilities Cedar Lodge has to offer.
Our award-winning activities team prioritise resident wellbeing by organising a variety of meaningful and joyful group, individual and one-to-one activities and experiences. This includes activities tailored for residents who are less mobile and able. Activities are always adapted to the daily wishes of residents and their cultural interests and supported by their life-stories in line with Forest Care‘s ethos of a person-centred approach to care.
We involve families in care and activity planning to gain a personal understanding of what really matters to each resident and learn about their favourite pastimes and hobbies, so we can tailor activities to suit their preferences at our care home. This all helps to create a reassuring and stimulating environment. We encourage social interaction and friendship, and support residents with their individual choices.
Listen to what Thelma has to say about the care at Cedar Lodge; “There are no real worries at all, you’ve only got to say to any of them and they come and help you straight away…If you’re unwell, they know as soon as you do…They are doing their utmost to keep you as well as possible.”
We encourage you to visit our nursing home in Camberley to experience the environment firsthand. Imagine life at Cedar Lodge, where the positive feeling of comfort and belonging is part of everyday life. The lovely setting and amenities create a truly special place to call home.
To provide the care our residents deserve, at Forest Care we set our staffing levels above industry-standard ratios, to enable a more relaxed environment for our residents where person-centred care can be delivered without having to be rushed. We have Nurses on-site 24-hours a day.

We involve families in care planning to ensure each resident has an individual care plan that meets all their medical, physical, emotional and social needs, and we work closely with families to ensure that the move for their loved one is a smooth and positive one.

We partnered with care finder Lottie and artist Pie Herring for A Life Full of Colour, a campaign celebrating care home residents through hand-painted portraits. Each painting honours their unique life stories and offers families a meaningful keepsake, while encouraging deeper intergenerational connection. During the painting process, Pie spent time with resident Valerie, learning about her life whilst Valerie’s memories were captured on camera. Her portrait was painted on handmade Japanese cedar paper – a homage to our home’s name. Valerie was deeply moved, calling it “a once in a lifetime experience.”
