Review from Martyn G (Son of Resident) published on 8 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the carers, nurses and general staff are always friendly.
We talk to everyone and listen to how they have reacted and responded to our mum. We know she talks to them as the staff tell us information that is not generally known, memories from a long time ago. They have managed to get mum to join
in colouring activities, taken photographs of mum smiling while doing so, which we have shared with other relatives. This was particularly good for us as mum has rarely joined in with such activities.
We genuinely believe that the staff care about mum's welfare and happiness.
We are very happy that mum is being looked after at Copper Beeches, when we visit her, the interaction she has with the staff is very comforting to us.
The staff are her extended family, and to a point, ours too.
Reply from Andrea Vinten, Head of Communications at Copper Beeches Care Home

We thank you and appreciate you taking the time to share your kind words, which are valued greatly by our care team at Copper Beeches. We are so happy that your Mum joins in with colouring and other activities and are delighted to see that the relationship she has with the care team is of great support, value and affection. Thank you once again. With warmest regards, The Copper Beeches and Belmont Healthcare Services Team.

Our lovely mum has been in Copper Beeches for 2 years now. We visit weekly, sometimes, more and have always found the staff welcoming and friendly. The food is very good and mum's room is clean. Yes, the building needs some upgrades, but the staff make up for that ten-fold. If there has been a problem,
which has been very few and far between, it is dealt with as soon as possible. Mum has dementia and appears comfortable and settled, she is treated with dignity and respect. The staff genuinely care about the residents and that is the most we can hope for.

Friendly and welcoming staff. Always quick to react to medical care changes.
Lots of decorating being done in the communal areas. The rooms are basic and probably need to be refreshed.
I know that residents are safe and happy.

I regularly visit both my parents at Copper Beeches and have found it to be a very pleasant experience. The staff are very attentive and helpful if there is a problem of any kind.
I would recommend Copper Beeches to anyone who is looking for a care home for a relative.

Happy with mums care the staff look after her well. The rooms are dated and need refurbishment, can't comment on the activities as mum is no longer involved. Mum seems to enjoy the food. Overall we are happy.

I visit my wife at Copper Beeches 4 to 5 times a week so I've got to know a lot of the staff that work there. I have found on "every" visit all the staff have been very helpful and always gone to extra mile to solve any problems I might have in my opinion the staff and management at "Beeches" are all
second to none. For me 10 out of 10.

When visiting care home for approval my sister and myself found the staff to be very welcoming and helpful. They answered all of our questions and gave extra advice.
When our father was admitted to the home, we found that all the staff were very caring and approachable.
Although the building could
do with some upgrading, the staff keep the rooms and residential lounges very clean.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My overall experience of this care home and its staff, even though only a week. Has been extremely positive for myself, my husband and my mother-in-law. Staff were extremely polite, friendly, welcoming and had a great deal of empathy towards my mother-in-law and myself and husband. My mother-in-law
was treated with the utmost dignity and respect, nothing was too much trouble. Even managing to get my mother-in-law out into the communal area was something really positive as she had been on bed rest for nearly 2 months. In the time leading up to her passing, she became more aware and even recognised her son. Which she hadn't done in the hospital. The staff made us aware of anything and everything to do with my mother-in-law. Her passing was very peaceful, dignified and relaxed within the home which was all we could ask for. She was a person and not a number. Very highly recommended.

My Auntie is in Copper Beeches and every time we have visited, the staff have always been really helpful and friendly and really do seem to care about the resident's wellbeing. My Auntie has been in several care homes and this one is by far the best in my opinion and I would highly recommend it.

We have recommended Copper Beeches to my uncle and his wife for her mother. To my knowledge, they are actually visiting tomorrow.


I/We feel my mother is cared for in a compassionate and dignified manner. Staff are helpful and friendly and make the experience generally easier overall.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.556)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.556) out of 10 for Copper Beeches Care Home 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.556 for Copper Beeches Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (83 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 126 Ratings = 4.556
  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 Copper Beeches Care Home is based on 11 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 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
    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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 11 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.
