“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.”

“Every day is a memorable day here” – a day in the life of Punam our Activity Coordinator at Cedar Lodge.
“Wonderful, caring, kind, considerate, gentle, very experienced staff; brain and body stimulating exercises every single day, lovely food in a super clean, high priority safety aware environment. My dad came here slumped forward in a wheelchair sleeping most of the day and after only 7 weeks with a free physio programme is walking around on a frame, chatting to everyone and joining in with everything on offer. I cannot fault this fantastic home; it’s very family oriented and actually reminds me of a cruise ship for elderly people, their entertainment schedule is second to none!! A massive thank you to Nenita the lovely manager and all her team for going above and beyond in changing my dad’s whole life.”
“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. After respite periods in another couple of homes in the area, we quickly realised the extent to which the team at Cedar Lodge goes above and beyond in the care they provide. 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.”
“My dear wife was admitted 2.5 years ago with Parkinson’s and Dementia. The quality of care has been excellent. 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. My wife is now at final stage Parkinson’s and is undergoing palliative care. All the staff have undergone specialist training in palliative care. Cedar Lodge is without doubt exceptional for what they do and I cannot thank them enough.”
