Cedar Lodge prides itself on being a ‘home’ in the truest sense with its warm, homely atmosphere and strong sense of community. Residents are always free to choose where and how they spend their time. Our open-visiting policy means family and friends are welcome at any time.
All-inclusive fees cover hairdressing, physiotherapy, chiropody, days 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 adapted to the daily wishes of residents and their cultural interests and supported by their life-stories in line with Cedar Lodge’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. 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.”
To provide the care our residents deserve, 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.
Cedar Lodge’s Head Chef Bhanu won ‘Care Chef of the Year’ at the National Care Awards 2021. Our talented Catering Team pride themselves on offering freshly prepared meals every day, crafted from locally sourced ingredients wherever possible and creating seasonal menus tailored to residents’ preferences.

We have great camaraderie, unity and one goal at Cedar Lodge – to make everybody happy. I go home each day and feel content that all our residents are happy and safe. The secret of care is a big heart.
Choosing a care home can be a difficult and emotional process, so we aim to make it a little easier by providing exceptional care in a happy and homely environment. 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. Our open-visiting policy means family and friends are welcome at any time.
