"Dear Christa,

I want to thank you for the years of care that you and your staff gave to my mum which meant that she enjoyed a high quality of life, in comfort and safety, that would otherwise have been impossible.

When one hears so many stories about care for the elderly that give cause for concern – and indeed I visited a few places that were unsatisfactory before I found The Cedars – it is very encouraging to find that there is somewhere that not only has an excellent location but where the staff are both conscientious and kind, developing a personal rapport with each resident and helping to ensure a friendly atmosphere between the residents themselves and in the home generally.

It really did become a “ home from home “ for my mum!

Wishing you every success in the future, both professionally and personally." - Mr. E.

"Dear Christa and all the staff,

I do not know where to begin in thanking you all. The Cedars was truly a happy last home. Your dedicated care, patience, sense of humour and high standards are an example to us all. I was contented and you could all induce her wonderful smile.

I cannot imagine how I would have managed over the last 6 years without your skills, friendship and wise words. The dignity and care you gave her in the last days will always remain a comfort.

I shall miss you all but hope to keep in touch." - J.

"During her declining years I and the family have been much re-assured that _ has received the best possible care and attention from you, Christina and the staff at your excellently managed Home. She always seemed to be very comfortable in your capable hands and what more could a family hope for where professional help was required.

To reach the age of ninety five years is a remarkable achievement and I do not believe that this would have happened without your help and diligence and I appreciate this more than words can say. Thank you all for everything that you have done over the last ten years and I shall never forget it." - Mr. F.
