Who is nursing care for?
It is for older people needing 24-hour medical care and personal support, including people requiring rehabilitation, PEG feeding, or support with physical disabilities and long-term conditions.
Can they cater for special dietary requirements?
Yes. Their chefs cater for clinical, religious and ethical dietary requirements, including modified-texture dishes, so residents can maintain their diets safely.
Do they offer respite care?
Yes. Respite care is available alongside residential, nursing and dementia care, providing a short-term care option when it is needed.
How much does The Cedars cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Cedars for its weekly fee. As a guide, Sunderland council paid on average £1,932 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
