How much does Cedar Mews cost per week?

Weekly fees at Cedar Mews range from £1,650 to £1,660. Costs may vary depending on the level of care required.

Does Cedar Mews accept NHS or local authority funding?

Cedar Mews accepts local authority funded and NHS Continuing Healthcare residents. For NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility, refer to NHS guidelines (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/money-work-and-benefits/nhs-continuing-healthcare/).

Is Cedar Mews a nursing home or a residential care home?

Cedar Mews is registered as a residential care home. This means the home provides residential care without on-site nursing as its main service type. Source: CQC registration data (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-3086808581).

Does Cedar Mews provide dementia care?

Cedar Mews specialises in dementia care. The home is CQC-registered for this specialism (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-3086808581).

How do we score dementia-specialist homes differently?

We do not treat the phrase 'dementia care' on its own as proof of quality. On RightCareHome, dementia-specialist homes are checked more carefully for dementia-specific fit signals such as whether dementia care is registered, whether secure or wandering support is clearly published, whether nursing cover is available when needs are more complex, and whether inspection or family feedback supports that positioning. If wandering support is not clear in the public data, that becomes a follow-up question rather than a positive signal.

How many beds does Cedar Mews have?

Cedar Mews has 73 registered beds. The home provides residential care without nursing. Source: CQC registration data (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-3086808581).

What do care home reviews say about Cedar Mews?

Cedar Mews has a 4.9 out of 5 rating based on 110 independent reviews.

Cedar Mews is rated "Good" for Safety by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). No enforcement actions are currently recorded. Source: CQC inspection report (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-3086808581).

Cedar Mews is operated by BERKLEY CARE CEDAR MEWS LIMITED (Companies House number: 09915808). Ownership type: independent.

Has Cedar Mews had enforcement actions?

There are no current enforcement actions recorded against Cedar Mews by the CQC. Source: CQC registration data (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-3086808581).

Is Cedar Mews at risk of closure?

No public source can guarantee whether Cedar Mews will close, but families can still check for warning signs in the available records. Public company records currently suggest low public financial risk for the provider. No current enforcement actions are recorded. The latest inspection schedule is currently 28 months past the expected timetable. Closure risk should be judged alongside inspection history, fee pressure, and what the manager can explain on your visit.

Is Cedar Mews's CQC rating improving or declining?

Recent inspection history for Cedar Mews looks stable rather than clearly improving or declining. The most recent inspection we reference was on 4 November 2023.

How do Cedar Mews's fees compare to the local average?

Based on current local pricing benchmarks, Cedar Mews's published weekly fees of £1,650 to £1,660 look above area average. Final weekly costs can still vary depending on the level of care required.

How do I know if I'm paying too much for Cedar Mews?

Start by comparing Cedar Mews's published weekly fees with the local care home benchmark. On this page, those fees look above area average. A higher price does not automatically mean overpaying, but you should expect clear reasons for the premium, such as stronger nursing cover, dementia support, facilities, or inspection evidence. The safest way to judge value is to compare price against care fit, inspection strength, and the unanswered questions you still have after reviewing the page.

What is Cedar Mews's food hygiene rating?

Cedar Mews currently has a Food Standards Agency hygiene rating of 5 out of 5. The latest published hygiene date is 14 May 2026. Source: local authority food hygiene records.

What questions should I ask when visiting Cedar Mews?

When visiting Cedar Mews, start by asking the team to ask to see the latest inspection report and what has changed since it, ask how staffing levels work on day and night shifts, and ask how families are updated when needs change. These questions help you test whether the public picture on this page still matches day-to-day reality inside the home.

What does our visit checklist include for Cedar Mews?

Our visit checklist for Cedar Mews starts with the basics families often miss: the latest inspection report, staffing levels across day and night shifts, how the team updates relatives when needs change, and how care plans are reviewed in practice. On RightCareHome, the page-level checklist is then extended with personalised follow-up questions based on the home’s inspection, review, financial and practical signals.
