Cedars Care Group homes receive Gold Standards Framework award

This month Cedars Care Group celebrated the Gold Standards Framework (GSF) accreditation, awarded to two of our care homes in Southport: Woodlands Manor Care Home and Cedar Grange Care Centre. The accreditation was awarded by the national GSF Centre for End of Life Care. It recognises that carers at both our Southport care homes, trained extensively under the Gold Standards Framework and are able to provide recognised standards of end of life care.

Lyndsey Floyd, Operations Director at Cedar Grange, and Vanessa Rigby, Group Operations Assurance Manager at Woodlands Manor, were overjoyed to receive a Commend Status for their homes. This, as a recognition of all the effort and hard work their teams put into achieving the acclaimed GSF Accreditation.
