The journey to find my 93-year-old mum who has dementia and blind has been very difficult, but finally, I hope and believe. Cooperscroft Home have been very hands-on and approachable to discuss mums level of needs, she is now settling into an environment amongst similar residents with the help of all
the support staff who work so hard to enhance the lives of people like my mum. There aren't any specific care home for blind people with other needs but I truly hope Cooperscroft can and will meet her on-going needs to give her a quality of life she deserves.

My husband, with dementia, spent 2 weeks for respite care at Cooperscroft. He was warmly welcomed and things were taken at his pace. He felt secure enough to let me go with no problems. I understand he took part in a number of activities and he was in a positive happy mood when I collected him. The
staff were helpful and kind.

I can only compare our visit to food and compare it to another care home in the area.
The other home was a greasy spoon and Cooperscroft was a la carte.

My mother was a resident in Cooperscroft for a week following a fall.
Her care could not have been better.
We were all impressed by the friendly, family atmosphere created by all staff and every staff member we met smiled, introduced themselves and made Mum feel welcome.
The member of staff on reception
went out of her way to support Mum when her dementia made her upset when we left.
I would highly recommend Cooperscroft.

I was very reluctant to come for convalescence following my hip replacement surgery. However, I needn't have worried as the overall care from day and night staff was excellent and was very beneficial to my immediate recovery. I would unreservedly recommend Cooperscroft to any family and friends who
might need respite care.
Reluctantly I do feel I should point out the way the carers helped themselves to food, just with their hands, while serving the meals. This seemed so unprofessional.

Reply from Brenda Sweetman, Home Manager at Cooperscroft

Thank you for your response - We were very happy that we were able to help you and support you returning home. Thank you too for raising the negative issues you noticed when you were here - this is not acceptable and we have addressed it with our teams.

My mother-in-law is a resident at the home for over 5 years and since she has been in the home. I find she is well looked after by very good staff if this was not the case she would not be as happy as she is. So I thank the staff and management for their wonderful care of my mother-in-law.

My mother came to the home after my father died. She was frail and poorly. The staff in the home made mum very welcome, looked after her and took very good care of her. She settled in and started to join and go on trips and she was very happy before she was taken from us after just 4 months at the home.
The staff liked her and she liked the staff. The staff also made me feel comfortable when visiting as they were always friendly, caring and attentive.

Reply from Brenda Sweetman, Home Manager at Cooperscroft

We are pleased we could give your mother a good quality of life for her last few months. Please accept our condolences.

You couldn't be in better hands. The care, compassion, love and helpfulness of all the staff has been amazing. We were all treated like family from the first visit. Nothing was too much for them to do. The homely rooms and areas, it was like being in a 4-star hotel only better. The garden area is a
wonderful place to relax and enjoy. The food was always hot and tasty. You can be safe in the knowledge that your loved one will be very well cared for.

I have always viewed the care at Cooperscroft to a high extreme, but recently I was overwhelmed by the generosity of time and devotion given to my mother on her birthday. At the age of 91, she was made to feel so special with a gift, individual time and a personal cake. I was taken back with the amount
of individual staff involved in making her day and particular, thank the chef and the catering staff for the spectacular birthday cake. The time and expertise that it took to produce such a beautiful cake were of no surprise as the food an dedication of the catering staff has always been beyond individual expectation. Thank you.

Reply from Brenda Sweetman, Home Manager at Cooperscroft

We always try to make everyone feel special every day but especially on special occasions such as birthdays - we are so pleased you and your mother enjoyed her celebration - Our catering team are very special - I will pass on your wonderful review

Our mum was a service user at Cooperscroft for the past 9 years and there was never a day when she was unhappy. The care she received from all the staff on Lavender Ward was compassionate, caring and above and beyond what we could have wished for. After a number of home care packages, we made the very
difficult decision to entrust our mum into the care of Cooperscroft and they never let us or our mum down. We will always be grateful for their dedication and continued compassion and hard work. The laundry staff also worked so hard in making sure that the clothes were always washed and ironed to a very high standard, and making sure all her clothes were put away neatly in the dressing table.

I have been extremely impressed with the care given to my friend each and every day - from the carers to the office staff. The outings the residents are taken out to are greatly appreciated. I recently joined my friend, plus others, on a wonderful canal trip with fish and chip lunch provided. Once again,
I was privileged to watch the caring staff working so tirelessly all day.

When my husband's dementia became impossible for me to care for him at home I started looking for care homes. Between my good friend and myself, we visited 26 homes in Hertfordshire. When we saw Cooperscroft we knew this one was the best! It is! My husband very happy and extremely well cared for, marvellous
room, garden and food. You have to visit Cooperscroft.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.958)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.958) out of 10 for Cooperscroft is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.958 for Cooperscroft is calculated as follows: ( (275 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 286 Ratings = 4.958

  • b) 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 Cooperscroft is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
