Cedar Lodge

Cedar Lodge provides personal and nursing care to 47 people, including those living with dementia. An activities coordinator works with staff to offer therapeutic activities such as the 'Love to Move' dementia-friendly exercise programme and the famileo gazette, a printed booklet allowing families to share photos and memories. These activities create opportunities for meaningful conversation with residents.

The home operates a booking system for visits, enabling essential caregivers to visit daily in line with government guidance. Visiting procedures and changes within the home are communicated regularly to relatives. Additional staff rooms have been created from underused dining areas to support social distancing, and couples can use these private spaces to eat meals together.

The home has implemented enhanced cleaning of touch points and maintains good ventilation through open windows.
