Review from Sally A (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Staff are warm, caring, hardworking, kind, skilled and conscientious. They really know each Resident well.
They all work well together as a Team from the Administrator to the Housekeeping and Maintenance, Activities Lead and Caring Staff.
The grounds are lovely, well kept and used enthusiastically.
There are clear lines of accountability with the Shift Leaders being an accessible and efficient point of contact for Staff, Residents and Relatives alike as well as the Home Manager.
There is a stable core of regular Staff and Agency Staff use mostly seems to be small.
I have chosen this Care Home for both of my elderly relatives to live in and I feel happy with my choice.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Looking for a care home at short notice wasn't easy, especially when not having any previous experience. We feel so fortunate to have found New Copford Place. It's like a big, happy family with several, long-standing employees. All aspects of the staff - carers, cleaners, laundry, kitchen, office
and maintenance are consistenly cheeful and friendly and the home is always clean and fresh. Our mum is really well cared for and loved by everyone and it's clear to us that the staff love what they do. The rooms may not be the biggest and the facilities may not be the best, but to us this is a secondary factor. Our only other observations are that it seems to take a while for work on the home to get done once decisions are made, but that's probably because we don't understand the processes involved. Also, that although the gardens are lovely, it would be nice if they were more accessible. Overall New Copford Place is just a very pleasant place for our mum to be and for us to visit.

Thank you for your lovely review. We love having your mum here with us, she's always so lovely and polite. And indeed, it may look like certain things take a while to start, but that's because we need to make sure everything is done in a safe way for everyone. I'll pass your kind words to our staff team, I'm sure they'll be happy to know their work doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you. Home manager

I met some nice people there. I helped to make a Christmas cake. It was nice to share meals with other people. Slept very well. My relatives were able to come and visit me. It was lovely and warm in the home. Saw squirrels out of the window. I had my nails and hair done and that was a nice experience.
I would like to stay again when my daughter goes on holiday.

My mother recently spent three weeks respite in New Copford Place. My brother and I were very impressed by the warm welcome we received from the moment we made contact by phone. The home has a calm atmosphere with light, spacious areas for relaxing and taking part in activities. The dining room is delightful
with fresh flowers on each table. The staff were all professional, friendly and helpful. Although my mother decided not to stay (she wasn't ready) we would not hesitate in choosing New Copford Place for her to stay permanently.

What a find! We needed some respite care for our Mum and found the care welcome, cheerfulness and cleanliness incredible.
Always a smile and a can-do attitude. Mum was sorry to leave as she had become very fond of everyone- staff and residents.
Mum's TV never worked well but that is our only negative.
Thank
you New Copford Place for being there when we and Mum needed you. Our thanks to everyone, especially the budgie!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
You invited us to look around, we had a wonderful lunch and Dad really felt at home, everywhere was clean and fresh and the staff was very friendly. The decision to book was easy!
From day 1 Dad enjoyed that everyone called him by his first name. During his stay, we spoke with him frequently and family
members visited - he said he was being well looked after, had good food, friendly helpful staff, with a real 'homely' feel. Everyone commented on how clean and fresh the home was. His own room was great with a nice bathroom and comfortable bed.
There were no issues with taking him out temporarily during the day for family visits and he certainly enjoyed his 'wee dram' in the evenings. He really enjoyed being able to sit in the courtyard on sunny days. He said it was nice to be able to walk in the gardens and nice having a mix of TV and quiet rooms.
Should the need arise in the future, there will be no need to look around. New Copford Place will be our immediate, preferred first choice. Thank you and well done all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has Alzheimer's and had two weeks of respite care while I went away. He was well cared for and seemed much better for having company all the time. I was pleased with his respite care there so moved Dad in there permanently. He has been there for two months and I'm so glad. Again he is well cared
for by lovely staff. He has joined in with activities and has been out and about on trips. He does have days where due to his dementia he doesn't understand why he is there but staff give lots of reassurance to him and I can clearly see how much they care for him and all their residents.
All staff are lovely; they keep me well informed and as a family, we are always welcomed in with a smile and friendly chat.
On a personal level, I have found the support from everybody to be fantastic; it can be hard to see someone with Alzheimer's and upsetting at times, but everybody has been so kind and supported me as well.
I personally cannot recommend this care home enough.

I was completely satisfied with my experience getting respite care for my mum in New Copford Place. The home is clean and well-maintained with an excellent layout round a courtyard with small lounges and lots of light which makes it a delightful building to visit.
All the staff, including the manager,
cannot be faulted for the kindness and care they show towards the residents, and the whole atmosphere in the place is friendly and welcoming. They were so good with my mum and I would definitely recommend this home.

Staff at New Copford Place have always been supportive of our family and friends. They appear to act quickly to resolve any issues and are happy to work with families for the best outcome for the residents. The new activities coordinator has, in my opinion, improved social activities. Unfortunately,
the chef had left, so the food served wasn't as good, but a new chef is now in post, and this has improved again. The rooms are relatively small, but they are comfortable and can be personalised with the resident's own furniture, etc.
Overall, we feel residents are treated with care and as individuals. We would recommend New Copford Place for short-stay or long-term residency.

Having no experience of care homes, I am really pleased that we chose New Copford Place to look after my aunt. The staff are friendly, caring and approachable. Any concerns I may have are discussed and resolved quickly with a smile. My aunt, who is new to the care home, seems settled and happy already.
She is well looked after and enjoys the meals. Her room is kept tidy and clean. The new activity manager is putting together an extensive activity plan and we receive weekly planners so that we can come along and join in too.

After researching many local nursing homes, New Copford Place ranked at the top! In every way!
The building itself is set in a beautiful country area. All of the residents’ rooms have French windows looking out to a wooded, pretty garden. It is a calming and inspiring view.
The building is all ground
floor, giving easy access to all rooms.
The dining room, in particular, is like a restaurant with tablecloths, flowers and even menus, and the food is delicious!
All of the rooms are beautiful: clean, warm and cosy. We were able to furnish my mother’s room with her own curtains, desk, large photo boards and books, which has made all the difference to her settling in. She is immensely proud of her room and calls it her home from home!
I’ve saved the best ‘till last! The staff are wonderful! They are all efficient, friendly, welcoming, warm and happy! Nothing is too much trouble. The same can be said of the managers, who are at the helm and brilliantly running this beautiful residential home!

Staff are always very helpful and give my mother exceptional care. The staff are always cheerful and friendly. My mother has dementia; she is at New Copford Place as a permanent resident. She has an ensuite bedroom, which is bright and clean with a view of the garden. She's very happy there. All staff
are so nice, from management to staff in the office and carers. My mum gets on really well with all the staff, and the staff are fond of her and know her. So nice to see. Very clean and well-managed home. After trying several other homes which did not work out too well, Copford Place was by far the best in every way. The staff work as a team, which means everything is running as it should.

Mum was a resident of New Copford Place for more than 2 years. Not always an easy character, my Mum was always treated with patience and compassion, and a good sprinkling of humour, which really helped. The staff are fantastic and all contribute to the quality of care given, whether the cleaners or
the managers. Following the relaxation of Covid restrictions the visiting was completely open; there are many places to sit and chat, their bedrooms, the gardens, one of the many lounges and the dining room. The staff were always very welcoming and caring of me, always a chat, and (if I timed it right) a cup of tea and cake. I always felt that Mum was safe, cared for and in the best place possible for her. Inevitably all things come to an end and Mum’s death was handled beautifully by the staff, I was there and they were fantastic in their presence and knowing when I was happy to be left alone with her too. I could not have asked for a better 2+ years for the last years of her life.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.552)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.552) out of 10 for New Copford Place Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.552 for New Copford Place Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.552
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for New Copford Place Residential Care Home is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 27 registered maximum number of service users is 5.4, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Manager

“I have worked in the Care Sector since 2012. After beginning my career in care, I quickly realised that I was making a positive change in the lives of those people I looked after, which is so rewarding and something no other job was – and still is – able to provide.


I have been with Friends of the Elderly for nearly three years, becoming the Care Home Manager at New Copford Place in August 2020. I have a great team and we work closely together to ensure each resident is supported, inspired and receives the highest level of bespoke care which is tailored to their individual needs.


Our wide and varied activities programme is created through listening to our residents’ preferences, likes, hobbies and interests as making a positive difference in all our residents’ lives is at the heart of all we do, every day. All the Team gets involved and I’ve even been known to join in with the singing and dancing sessions.


The best thing about being the Care Home Manager at New Copford Place is seeing our residents smiling, as it makes me feel that I have, in some small way, contributed a little bit to that smile.”
