I am so grateful that my Aunt was in your care for the last days of her life. The staff here are wonderful and so caring, they go above and beyond to make sure those in their care are looked after, as well as their relatives and friends. I have seen the care provided at two other nursing homes and they do not compare in the slightest. I am so thankful to all of you for your care and your kindness.
My mother was brought to the home after 5 weeks in hospital in need of nursing care. She was only in the home for 3 weeks before she died. The level of care for her and for us, her primarily, was of the highest order. She was cared for and cherished as she died in no pain and very peacefully.

Dad was admitted to the home in early June and sadly passed away at the end of the month. The admission was handled faultlessly with professionalism and support. During his stay the nursing staff ensured he was comfortable and cared for. Whilst he was unable to access the home's activities, which were many, he had all he needed to entertain him in his well equipped room which was comfortable and bright. All the additional staff that cared for Dad were amazing too, professional and sensitive throughout. Thank you.

My husband spent 7 months in Verulam House. He was very unwell when he was admitted in January 2015 for palliative care. He improved every month and was able to come home at the end of July 2015. He recovered thanks to the good nursing and good food provided. He was able to have meals in his room if he wished, or to eat in the residents dining room when he was improving. He joined in the activities as he wished. Verulam House is an old building with an interesting sheltered garden. The house is very interesting in itself.

Neil Copping took over Verulam House as its new home manager in 2025. With nearly 25 years’ experience in the care home sector, Neil is passionate about delivering care that respects dignity, choice and individuality.
Neil started his career in care on the night shift in a dementia care home. This early insight sparked in him a lifelong passion for person-centred care, an approach that puts individual needs, preferences, and well-being at the heart of how care is delivered.
During his long career, Neil has held a series of roles across the care industry and has spent 18 years in management, including a period as an area manager overseeing multiple assisted living sites. He has earned a reputation for driving high standards, embracing innovation and being an inspirational team leader.
Neil is looking to drive positive change at Verulam House and is already overseeing an extensive refurbishment of the home, including the lounge, dining area and all the downstairs rooms. He is focused on enhancing the range of activities provided and is looking to get a minibus for the home to take the residents on more frequent outdoor excursions.Neil Copping, Verulam House care home manager, said:
