Daily life at Cedars Place is a mixture of enjoyable social events and peaceful relaxation.

Our regular events include singing, painting, cards and other board games, movie afternoons, reminiscence and poetry readings, as well as regular live music performances.

Residents who do not wish to take part in groups activities are given time on a one to one basis, allowing them enjoyable conversation and providing them with company.

Additionally, larger events are organised on a yearly basis, such as the annual “Stow In Bloom” gardening competition, coffee mornings, and trips to local attractions. Whatever your interest, there is something at Cedars Place for you.

At Cedars Place we recognise the importance of food, not just as a source of nutrition, but for the way in which it encourages our residents to socialise, reminisce and celebrate. Our meals are freshly cooked, nutritionally balanced and served in gorgeous surroundings to encourage residents to enjoy their mealtimes.

We look to the seasons to inspire change in our menus and take care to prepare dishes that reflect food our residents have been used to enjoying throughout their lives as well as encouraging residents to try something new!

We cater for a variety of dietary requirements and benefit from staff with training (up to degree level) in nutrition, who work closely with the care and catering staff to ensure good levels of nutrition are maintained. Food can be enjoyed in your own room should you so choose.
