Cedars is a welcoming, friendly home in a large, traditional detached house in the heart of New Barnet, easily reached from Hertfordshire and North London. Our lounge and dining room have been refreshed in a style inspired by hygge, the Danish idea of cosiness and contentment found in simple comforts and good company. With natural wood, soft seating and views over the enclosed gardens, they are rooms made for spending time together.

We offer nursing care, dementia care and respite care for people aged 65 and over, with a long-serving nursing and care team on hand 24 hours a day. The home has 38 en suite bedrooms, including two companion rooms for couples, and a dementia-friendly garden.

The team and residents together create a family atmosphere, where every day is the resident’s choice. Whether someone joins us for a short stay or a long-term one, every detail is shaped around the individual. We look forward to welcoming you to Cedars.

Cedars Nursing Care Home Accommodation

Registered nurses are on duty 24 hours a day, supported by care team members who help with personal care and everyday routines. The team cares for people with complex medical needs, people living with dementia, those recovering after an operation, and those needing palliative and end of life care. Every resident has a personal care plan, written with them and their family and reviewed as their needs change.

For residents living with dementia, familiar things matter. We keep to the routines people know, in a calm and secure setting with its own dementia-friendly enclosed garden, and encourage everyone to bring photographs, keepsakes and their own furnishings, so their room feels like theirs. Cedars is also a home where pets are welcome: cats, smaller dogs and visiting pets, so nobody has to leave a companion behind.

A Comfortable Home with Gardens to Enjoy

Beyond the bedrooms, there are bright day rooms overlooking the landscaped gardens, and a lounge where entertainers visit, afternoon tea is served and films are shown. In warmer weather, the French doors open onto the terrace, so residents can enjoy the fresh air in a safe, easy-access space, and the raised vegetable patch is popular with keen gardeners.

There’s always something to look forward to, from quiz afternoons, live music and arts and crafts to summer barbecues in the garden, trips to the cinema and local shops, and day trips with Myley, a tour company that runs accessible outings for people of all ages and abilities. Family and friends are welcome any time, and there’s a full calendar of events through the year.

Good Food, Adapted to Each Resident

Mealtimes are an important part of the day at Cedars. We work with apetito, a leading provider of meals for care homes, whose recipes are developed by chefs, dietitians and nutritionists. Menus are developed with our residents, and meals are adapted to each person’s likes, dislikes and dietary needs, including texture-modified and diabetic diets, and to the requirements of every faith. The dining rooms look out over the gardens, and on warmer days summer barbecues and garden parties take meals outside.
