New management from the latter half of 2025 has been a breath of fresh air and has brought new life to Coppelia House. There has been a marked improvement in many areas, from care standards and staff positivity to homely improvements around the building and also there is a clearer sense of community
amongst the residents. Keep up the good work!

My father-in-law is currently residing at Coppelia and is thoroughly enjoying his experience. I have observed firsthand the excellent care provided by the staff and believe the current management is doing a commendable job in maintaining the home's efficient operation. The rooms are basic but remain
welcoming and the meals are varied and flavourful. All the residents appear to be happy and well cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On a daily basis the staff and manager at Coppelia House surpass my expectations, They have welcomed my parents with kindness, compassion and understanding. They have enabled my parents to stay together, allowing my father to continue to care for my mother with discrete support and more direct help
when needed. They have enabled his independence in a way that I never thought possible. He is enjoying discovering a new and welcoming community within walking distance of Coppelia House in the knowledge that my mother is well cared for in his absence.
The food and catering is outstanding with an excellent menu and my mother has started eating a little food again after months of refusing everything but soup.
I am always welcomed and able to discuss my parent's care. The care plan for my parents has ensured that both dental and medical needs have been met with speed and efficiency.
I can't fault the professionalism of the whole team and highly recommend them.
Reply from Louise Arnold, Managing Director at Coppelia HouseThank you for your wonderful feedback. We're truly delighted that your parents feel supported, cared for, and able to enjoy life together at Coppelia House. Enabling independence, dignity, and genuine connection lies at the heart of our mission, and it means so much to know this has made a difference to your family. We'll be sure to share your kind words with the whole team.

Review from Jane G (Sister of Resident) published on 10 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Overall I want to express gratitude, especially to the caregivers who do their best to create a calm, cheerful and safe ambience and undertake personal care with respect. Almost always they seem affectionate, kind, patient; they are usually capable, observant, supportive of each other and appropriate
in seeking help. I cannot speak highly enough of them.
The manager is accessible, friendly and has a sunny disposition which affects us all. Staff are helpful and competent if we ask for extra help. Coppelia seems welcoming, institutional and often cheerfully informal.
These aspects of my sister's care are really valued by all the family.

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!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.589)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.589) out of 10 for Coppelia House 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.589 for Coppelia House is calculated as follows: ( (170 Excellents x 5) + (73 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 258 Ratings = 4.589
  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 Coppelia House is based on 22 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 22 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.

Jemma

Jemma Bowden

Job Title: Manager Joined: 2016

With a genuine passion for person-centred care, I strive to create a home where every resident feels safe, valued, and truly cared for. My approach as a 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 started my journey with Peninsula Care Homes as a care assistant and have developed my skills through a variety of roles, including care assistant, senior care assistant, care lead and deputy manager, before becoming Coppelia House Home Manager.


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.
