My aunt who has vascular dementia, moved into Coppelia House in July 2024. When we were first shown around we knew she would be well look after and happy there. It took her a few months to get settled but she is very happy there. The staff are always really friendly towards me and are proffessional
and kind to the residents. Coppelia House has always smelt clean and homely. My aunt is looking so much better since being resident there as she doesn't have anything to worry about. I would not hesitate to recommend Coppelia for anyone needing residential care.

My experience has been that the staff at Coppelia House are warm, friendly and place the wellbeing of the residents at the heart of all they do. Every member of the team is approachable, kind and supportive even when at their most busy. What stands out from spending time at Coppelia is the respect that
is shown to each resident by the staff.
Mum has been treated with understanding, dignity and compassion throughout her time at Coppelia and her personal needs and interests have been accommodated by staff going above and beyond to ensure she is still able to pursue her passions and allowing her personality to shine. She feels loved, valued and safe.
Staff are always ready with a smile or a reassuring word and that support extends not only to residents but also to visiting family members, who are made to feel welcome at all times, making everyone feel included and at ease.
Thank you Coppelia for all you do!

Coppelia was our second home with Mum! She was happy, extremely well cared for, and felt loved there. The staff are amazing, so committed to their residents, and really become a part of their family. Access to discuss Mum's needs was immediate and we were kept in touch with all the time. We visited
nearly every day and being able to fit visits in at most hours of the day helped us continue a very involved relationship with Mum.

I take great pleasure in recommending all at Coppelia House, over the last few months my father resided there. I was always made to feel very welcome and highly informed with information on my father's well-being. The care was 100%. I even had the pleasure of sampling the delightful homecooked food
that Dad took a lot of pleasure eating and enjoying the wonderful gardens, chatting to the wonderful staff. I can't recommend the home and staff anymore and so pleased we moved him there until his last days. Keep up the great work, I'm sure you all will.

Mum came to Coppelia House in April 2023 for respite care after a fall in her flat. She quickly decided she would like to stay as she felt safe and comfortable in her own room with friendly and supportive staff. Her visitors were always welcomed by the staff, and we enjoyed sitting out together in the
sunny garden. Mum received excellent palliative care in the home as she neared the end of her long life and we were kept well informed of her condition. Thank you to all the staff at Coppelia House for looking after Mum in such a caring, respectful way.

The home was extremely helpful and quick at getting Mum in, as both parents became ill at the same time.
Mum settled in very well and the staff were very welcoming and caring.
My mum has dementia and her biggest problem was understanding the foreign workers. We have moved Mum to be with her husband
of sixty-seven years, as this wasn’t the place for my father to stay.
Many thanks to all staff.

My father and us, his family, are extremely fortunate to have a care home of such a high calibre on our doorstep. He needed 24/7 care and he got it, he was well fed and kept clean, (his words) The staff were/are very obliging and do everything in their power to make the whole situation as homely and
pleasant as possible. Our particular situation was difficult and became more acute over time, the staff true to form were understanding and accommodating to which we are very grateful. Thank you.

Ma was here for 5 years. She was always treated with much love, respect and humility. She felt safe and secure at Coppelia House. Throughout Covid and after there was always emphasis on the happiness of the folks in care. For me, it's been a real comfort that Ma was here being looked after.

Mum spent a month at Coppelia House to recover following major surgery. We cannot fault the care Mum received - the staff were all friendly, good-humoured and extremely professional, especially when helping Mum get used to coping with the stoma she had following surgery. Nothing was too much trouble.
Also, Mum said the quality and variety of the meals were exceptional.

Our mother was not always the easiest of residents to manage. Nevertheless, the staff were always caring, loving supportive and patient with her. She has been a long-term resident of several years and only recently passed away. The end-of-life care they provided for our mother was exceptional and the
support towards our family. Most staff are permanent, not agency and have worked there for many years. All meals and cakes are prepared and home cooked at Coppelia House. Just like home cooking and very tasty and nutritional. Our mother had the freedom to move around the home as she wished day/night time, where safe to. Where some residential homes restrict their movement throughout the day and night. I felt Mum was in a safe environment. She had a lovely garden view. It was a pleasure getting to know the staff over the years.

My mother has been a resident at Coppelia House Care Home for five years. She's 96 years old and has dementia. I can tell she's happy and settled and she loves the people that care for her. Coppelia feels like a home from home by avoiding the temptation to create the institutionalised structures that
others misguidedly believe are necessary. The carers are kind and helpful and the atmosphere is relaxed and informal. When issues arise they are dealt with promptly and efficiently. My mother, unfortunately, got infected with Covid at the beginning of the pandemic and if it hadn't been for the amazing care she received at Coppelia I'm sure she would have died. They went over and above what was expected of them and I will always be grateful for this. I wouldn't hesitate recommending Coppelia to anyone who is thinking about residential care either for themselves or a relative. It's a very special place and, despite the obstacles created for the sector by this government, it does an incredible job.

My wife has been in the home for three and a half years. She suffers from advanced Alzheimer's. She cannot see, walk, feed herself or perform any other functions.
The staff are brilliant and look after her well. The home's management has been exceptional. My wife is happy, contented and relaxed. Although
she can no longer find the right words to be able to say. All of the staff and managers spend time with her and anticipate her needs. They all are welcoming to me and keep me informed of any issues.

We had to move Mum into Coppelia House Care Home at the end of 2019 due to her deteriorating health. We were glad we could move her into care within the same community she had lived in for 25 years. The staff and volunteers at Coppelia were so nice, pleasant and professional from the first moment we
talked to them. I got to know several of them during early visits and Mum was always very happy with the service she received at Coppelia. If truth be told, she didn't want to be anywhere other than home, but Coppelia was about as close to home as she could wish for. Unfortunately, Covid struck soon after she entered Coppelia, so visiting had to be restricted somewhat, but I always felt Mum was being well looked after and her safety was their main concern. Just before she died, restrictions were eased a little and she was able to go on short trips outside Coppelia. I know the staff were truly upset when she died and this was very touching. I can't think of a better place for Mum to spend her last days.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.386)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.386) out of 10 for Coppelia House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 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 4.786 for Coppelia House is calculated as follows: ( (56 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.786

  • 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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Coppelia House is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 6 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.

My approach as an interim manager is to lead with compassion, empowering staff to work as a strong, supportive team while maintaining the highest standards of care and dignity.


I believe a care home should feel like a big family – filled with warmth, kindness, and meaningful connections.


I take pride in building trusting relationships with residents and their loved ones, ensuring they feel listened to and reassured. My goal is to create an environment where every moment matters, where residents feel at home and staff feel proud to make a difference every day.
