About Cedar Lodge

Cedar Lodge is a residential care home in Taunton. We support older people and younger adults, including people living with dementia and people with mental health needs, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. Our aim is an ordinary life with the help that makes it possible. People keep their own hours and their own belongings, choose where and with whom they spend the day, and are helped with washing, dressing and moving about as privately and unhurriedly as we can arrange. Meals are cooked on the premises with real choice at each one, and the kitchen will usually make something particular if somebody fancies it. With dementia, knowing a person well is what makes the difference. We gather somebody's history with their family when they arrive and keep adding to it, so that staff respond to the person in front of them rather than to a set of behaviours. Where somebody is managing a mental health condition, we try to be steady and clear, because people tell us that consistency helps more than reassurance. We watch health carefully without turning the house into a clinic, involve the surgery and community teams early, and tell families what is happening instead of waiting to be asked. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated the home good overall. Anyone considering a place here is welcome to visit and talk to the people who live here.
