The Cedars

The Cedars provides nursing and residential care for up to 56 older people, some living with dementia or physical disabilities. The home maintains a good rating and operates quality monitoring audits to assess care standards.

During the inspection, auditing processes were found to have gaps in identifying concerns around the recording of wound and continence care. Additionally, topical medicines such as creams were not being appropriately managed. The provider was recommended to follow best practice guidelines in recording care in these specific areas to strengthen their quality assurance systems.
