Both staff and management are welcoming and supportive. They go to great lengths to work with relatives and residents to provide a personalised and extensive level of care. I feel assured that they are providing a great level of care to my husband now that he is in the last stage of Alzheimer's.

My husband has been well looked after for ten years by staff at Copper Beeches. The staff are caring and professional. The home has a friendly, family feel about it. It has been very challenging for the staff during the Covid virus, however, they have coped well. I cannot think of a better place for
my husband to be.

Staff are welcoming and available and caring for the needs of my relative. Friendly and approachable, perhaps not the 'plushes' of homes I have been involved with but is outweighed by the care revived.

Review from L B (Friend of Resident) published on 11 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have found Copper Beeches Care Home very pleasant to visit my friend. The staff are very welcoming and pleasant. My friend is quite mobile, but not able to look after herself safety, so for her, there is little stimulation. Activities are hard to encourage as most residents are in bed. They are trying
to introduce more activities which look quite promising. Since leaving the hospital, they have managed my friend's diabetes very well. This has been a problem in other nursing homes. So well done to them.

Whenever I visit Copper Beeches there is always someone about to say good morning and have a chat and ask how you are. They are a very friendly bunch, also the smells that come from the kitchen are lovely. It makes me want to stay for dinner!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I feel the care of residents is very well looked after. The staff are doing a good job, considering they seem short-staffed at times. Very polite and friendly.
The food is excellent but the only downside is the building needs a makeover eg windows and painting to brighten up the place as it can put
people off putting their relatives in there as I nearly did myself until I saw how fantastic the staff were.

My uncle sadly passed away at the end of January 2019. He was a resident at Copper Beeches for over 2 years. During his time there he was cared for in a wonderful manner. The staff showed compassion and ensured he was regularly changed and re-positioned in bed. They chatted to him whenever they provided
care. Even though he was bed bound there was always someone to spend time with him.


I thank the staff for all the care they provided.

Review from Terry P (Mother of Resident) published on 24 January 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother sadly passed away Friday 18th in the early hours and I felt had to write this review about all the wonderful, warm, sensitive, tender, loving and compassionate staff that my mother was privileged to meet and be cared for by.


She felt like she was one in a family rather than in with carers,

nurses, chef, cleaners and all that came into my mum's life, words do not seem anywhere near enough to express our gratitude to each and every one of them, not only did they care and and look after mum but my wife and I also felt we were in this unique family.


The staff at Copper Beeches are the most professional body of carers and our eyes it takes a very special person to do this job with ever-changing tasks.


My wife and I can never really thank them enough for their outstanding dedication and for making mum feel at home from home!


So to each and everyone we got to know, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts and wish you and all the very best for the future God bless and love to all.

Reply from Ronnie Cavanagh, Marketing at Copper Beeches Care HomeThank you Terry for your kind comments about our Care team. We appreciate you taking the time to leave feedback for Copper Beeches Care Home. We understand how upsetting it must be, and are so pleased you felt that our team lived up to expectation and treated your mother with dignity and the compassion she deserved during her time at our home. We hope that her time at Copper Beeches did see some friendships flourish with both the Care team and residents. Thank you again Terry, if there is anything more we can do please do not hesitate to reach out.

My father spent his last 6 months at Copper Beeches.
The staff were extremely kind, considerate and caring even though my father did have challenging behaviour.
His care plan was always available and up to date.
Our family were very happy that he was treated with dignity and respect.
The staff
were always available to answer any queries that we had. Thank you to all the staff.

Review from Michael B (Son of Resident) published on 13 July 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother was admitted to Copper Beeches in March 2015 on hospital advice, having lived in a sheltered accommodation in London for some 17 years previous. I was more than pleased on viewing Copper Beeches to let my mother take up residency there. One of the reasons being that I lived in Rochester and
it was easier access for me visiting. Also, they dealt with her needs and helped her to participate in the activities in the home, which is what she needed as there was no involvement in anything where she lived previously, so she was becoming vegetated, which was very worrying. I've always admired the way the staff dealt with my Mum as she could be very awkward at times. But they always got on with the job and dealt with it in a professional manner keeping me informed at all times. I would definitely recommend this home on the grounds that I have pointed out. I cannot fault the management and staff at this home they are a good team and work very hard to keep their standards high.


Kind Regards.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.074)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.074) 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 4.4 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 4.424 for Copper Beeches Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (52 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 92 Ratings = 4.424
  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 4.65 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Copper Beeches Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.65
    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 8 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.
