Friends of the Elderly Malvern Day Care

from Tom D (Husband of Resident) published on 13 March 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife has attended first one day a week for day care and later extended to two days. Over the last 12 months my wife has enjoyed her 'days out' and she has always been greeted warmly and made to feel part of the 'family'. Without exception she has been made to feel comfortable and included and has
formed attachments to several people. The day care has come to an end only because she is now in permanent care. The day care unit is particularly good not just because of the lovely staff but because it is a home from home and not a clinical setting. Highly recommended.
Reply from Shirley Bradley, Service Manager at Friends of the Elderly Malvern Day CareThank you so much for your wonderful review. We do miss seeing your lovely wife, and yourself at our day care service, but are happy that she is settling in well at her new home.

Friends Place is a beautifully designed care home with lovely bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms for each resident. I visit mum often and am appreciative of the warm, friendly welcome. There are some very engaging activities every day, which my mum enjoys. I've seen how brilliant the staff and management
are; nothing is too much trouble, and they go above and beyond to ensure each resident receives the care and support needed to live a full and rewarding life.

Since my mum started attending the day centre, she has truly blossomed. She is so much happier and really looks forward to going. Its wonderful to see her come home smiling & relaxed and she speaks so fondly of the staff and how caring & kind they are. The staff really are so incredibly kind and patient
and go above and beyond in their support, not only to my mum, but to me as well. They have been so knowledgeable, understanding and supportive around her diagnosis, which means more than I can say. The regular communication and updates are fantastic and put my mind at ease. The atmosphere is homely, warm, friendly and safe, with lots of laughter & singing! It's such a comfort knowing that my Mum is treated with such dignity & care. I am extremely grateful for everything that they do.

New Copford Place Residential Care Home

from F S (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Our mother has now been resident at New Copford Place for 2 years, during which time she has been lovingly looked after by a wonderful team of carers. These people make it a pleasure for us to visit and we have built up a lovely, friendly relationship with them all.
The excellent chef, who was in the
kitchen when mum firstly arrived, moved on to pastures anew about a year ago and the food has definitely deteriorated since that time, which is a shame, but the food is still satisfactory.
Overall, we are very pleased that we chose New Copford Place for the next phase of our mum's life as we now know that she is receiving all the love and care that she deserves.
Reply from Daniel Sabau, Care Home Manager at New Copford Place Residential Care HomeThank you for taking the time to complete the review. The catering manager and I worked together and several changes were done in the last couple of months, which I hope they have been noticed. Also, thank you for the lovely words about our care team, I will let them know their work is noticed and appreciated. Kind regards, Daniel

from Beverly A (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A well run and very friendly care home.
Lots of activities and staff interaction.
Rooms and communal areas very clean.
Mum seems very happy and is always smiling when I visit.
She does sometimes seem to be left in her room with nothing to do and the TV not switched on.
Lots of her clothing has
been mislaid and were several pairs of reading glasses.
There is a lack of communication between shift leaders and my intructions are not very often passed on to all staff members.
Reply from Daniel Sabau, Care Home Manager at New Copford Place Residential Care HomeHi Beverly, thank you for taking the time to write a review. I have addressed your concerns with shift leader team and I am sure you will see the improvements during your next visits. If you have any further concerns, I am always available for everyone.

My relative came for a period of respite after being in hospital following a house fire. He arrived with virtually no belongings whilst we were trying to sort things out. The staff + management went above + beyond throughout his stay. They were supportive of myself too, as well as him, throughout the
entire stay. I cannot thank the team enough for everything. They made a very traumatic time so much better. Side note am told bed was comfy + food/coffee/cake were great!

from Kimberley S (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 January 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Deciding that it's time to find a home for a loved one is incredibly difficult. You want absolute reassurance that they will be safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. Friends Place delivers all of that and more.


It is a modern, beautifully maintained facility with excellent amenities, something that

is increasingly hard to find. What truly sets Friends Place apart, however, is the staff. They are exceptional: compassionate, professional, and genuinely invested in achieving the best possible outcomes for the residents.


They have been incredibly accommodating of my mum's individual needs, giving me both peace of mind and the much-needed respite I was struggling to find. Most importantly, they have created an environment where my mum genuinely feels at home.


I am deeply grateful to have found Friends Place and cannot recommend it highly enough.

Reply from Alina Gutu, Care Home Manager at Friends PlaceThank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and heartfelt review. We know how difficult it can be to make the decision to find a home for a loved one, and it means a great deal to us that you felt supported and reassured throughout that process.
We're delighted to hear that your mum feels safe, comfortable, and truly at home at Friends Place. Your kind words about our staff are especially appreciated - our team is deeply committed to providing compassionate, personalised care, and feedback like yours reinforces why we do what we do.
Thank you for trusting us with your mum's care and for recommending Friends Place so highly. It's a privilege to support both our residents and their families, and we're grateful to be part of your journey.

When visiting we are always made to feel welcome by all staff which is very much appreciated. My mother who has Alzheimers also says
how well staff look after her including the food.
Whilst it doesn't affect the star rating there is sometimes an issue with parking but there is a free car park 500 yards away.

Since my Mum first visited Friends Place for day care visits, the management & staff have been absolutely wonderful! They are empathetic, professional, knowledgeable, accommodating & friendly, truly exceptional! The care home is of the highest standard from décor to the layout and overall construction
of the building. The Friends Place "Team" are so welcoming and have already become an integral part of the local community and in such a short time which is testament to their dedication to ensure that residents & service users benefit and enjoy the support and services available. Special mention for Roz & Alina for being so attentive & caring at all times. My Mum enjoys her day care visits immensely and they have provided both me & my wife with much needed "break time" to recharge during her visits. Many thanks to all the Team for your support help & assistance, it's greatly appreciated. Highly recommended!!
