How We Can Help Your Family Member

When a member of your family’s health requires full time care, it can often be a tough decision to make for everyone involved. Whether you’re looking for short term respite care, or full time nursing or residential care, we would be delighted to help and make that decision easier to bear.

Important News

The Trustees reached an agreement to sell The Cedars Nursing Home to Park Healthcare Ltd. Martin Thomas, Chairman of the board, stated it had been a difficult decision to take after almost 40 years delivering care to the local community.

He believes selling Cedars to a larger operator was the best outcome for residents and staff.

He was adamant that residents and staff would continue to reside and work at the Cedars, and it would not affect the care we provide or the unsettling of our residents.

The Board of Trustees will continue to run the charity, Cedars Castle Hill, as a grant giving charity for the Shaftesbury community.
