My Nan was very well looked after at Coppelia House and I thought all the staff and facilities were lovely. It is a country house with a great atmosphere and the room was bright with a garden view. We could not fault the care and attention she received and the support to us as a family was excellent.

My husband lived at Coppelia House for over two years, before he died in April. I recently visited, and it seems that the local management has received support to allow new ideas to be implemented. It was good to see a band of staff who have been there for years. This continuity is valuable to the
residents, particularly dementia patients. The staff being familiar with the residents, their usual moods and appearance, is helpful.


The staff tried hard to encourage residents to participate in activities and the Activities Organiser was enthusiastic and imaginative in adapting events and occupations to the individual residents. Regular musical events were popular and visibly lifted the mood of the residents.


The food was mostly excellent, dependent on the chef at the time. Willingness to offer individual choices and to permit food from home was helpful.


Families were welcome at all times.


The period property presents challenges to care, though the grounds are an asset.

Sadly my mother-in-law died at Coppelia House on 10th September 2016. She had 2 1/2 happy years there being extremely well cared for. She really loved the place. She was always treated with care and dignity. I thought that when I visited the staff were always so friendly and helpful and kind. In her
final days it was obvious to me that all the staff had done everything they could to make her comfortable as possible. It is a strange thing to say but I think she had a really good death. Much better than my parents.

My mother has lived at Coppelia House for two years. She has a good relationship with staff and residents. Recently my mother had a fall and broke her hip, the support from the manager and staff was excellent. The room that she is in is lovely and she has a view of the garden. The meals are of a good
standard and always fresh produce used. Personal care is very good and staff have always made sure mum looks clean and tidy. I feel that Coppelia House is one of the best care homes in this area and would recommend it to anyone.

From first impressions as a visitor, the care home was very clean, very pleasant and well maintained with secluded rear gardens. I was given a warm and friendly welcome. For the past 21 months, I have been a one day a week visitor, sometimes staying for lunch. Entertainment and activities have always
been good and enjoyed by the residents. I have seen a high standard of care and dedication by management and staff. Concluding, I rate it as a caring and well-organised care home.

Coppelia House has provided excellent care to a very dear friend who is 90 years old. She has been in the care of Coppelia House for nearly 3 years and has received excellent service, friendliness, care in all ways (room cleanliness, food, service, hospitality to friends, general health care and good
liaison with the local GP) throughout this stay. From the welcoming smile and friendliness of all staff to the excellent nursing care (when needed), respect for residents and general helpfulness from all those who care for the residents, this is a Home in all senses of the word and is completely recommended.

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.

Job Title: Manager

Joined: 2025

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 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.
