“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.”
“My mum has been a resident at Cedar Lodge for just over a year and is approaching her 101st birthday. She is very settled and is looked after very well. The staff are so caring and nothing is too much trouble. We visited many homes prior to choosing Cedar Lodge and definitely think we made the best choice. There’s always so much variety in terms of activities and a lovely atmosphere.”

“Choosing Cedar Lodge for my husband Paul was one of our best ever decisions. Visiting was like going among friends, friendly, interested, supportive, always smiling, lovely staff. He was content with lots of activities and well cared for.”
“Cedar Lodge was where my mum spent her final few months. Their ‘magic’ worked from day 1. So welcoming without being over-bearing. Always a kind face from all of the staff. My mum was quite artistic and thoroughly enjoyed joining in with the superbly prepared activities. So much better for her than sitting at home watching TV. I cannot praise Cedar Lodge enough. A fabulous environment. When my time comes around it’s where I’d like to be.”
“Cedar Lodge is a wonderful environment for everyone who stays or visits here. All the staff are amazing and clearly enjoy what they do, caring for the residents. It’s always a pleasure to visit.”
