Over all time Copper Beech Care Home has 93 reviews.
I was looking for a care home for my father and walked into Copper Beech unannounced. The reception staff and management could not be more helpful and sympathetic and we were very happy to help. My father has settled very well and the nursing staff have been wonderful. They treat the residents with dignity and care. Overall, my family have been very happy that we chose Copper Beech for my father.
Thank you for your kind words. We hope Copper Beech Care Home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible. We hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care.
My sister entered the home in late January 2024 following an inspection by my wife and myself. We were shown round by a very charming member of staff who explained all about the care they could provide. My sister and myself cannot fault the care she has been given. I know she can be difficult at times, however, the staff just smile and cope with each situation and I am extremely pleased with their care of her.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after we hope Copper Beech Care Home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible. Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.
Very friendly, helpful and attentive staff. I feel my father is in good hands. The food is excellent.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your review. It is always nice to hear words like “very friendly” and “attentive” being used to describe our staff. We hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care.
My mum was treated with the utmost care and attention. She loved all the staff and they loved her. Her bedsores were immediately dealt with from hospital stay. All staff, management, orderlies and nurses were fantastic. I could not speak more highly of this home. I would score it 10 out of 5. Thank you for your care and attention to my dear mum.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time and it is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one was cared for and looked after. We are happy to hear that your Mum felt like a part of our Copper Beech family. Hopefully, you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.
My mother received wonderful care and attention from all the staff at Copper Beech Care Home. I was made to feel very welcome on all my visits. We are all exceedingly grateful and could not have wished for better! Thank you!
Thank you for your lovely review. We are very pleased that you felt welcome and that your Mother received good quality care at Copper Beech Care Home. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one was cared for and looked after and we are glad to help you and your...
Copper Beech is very welcoming and homely, with high standards of cleanliness. While the staff are caring and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The staff appear to have a good rapport with the residents and also take an interest in the residents as individuals. The residents are also well catered for, with activities and entertainment which is open to the residents' visitors to share as well. I feel that my brother-in-law, who suffers from dementia and other issues, is being well looked after and cared for.
Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. We hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care.
My husband had Alzheimer's so he went into Copper Beech from hospital where he was treated for pneumonia. Initially for three weeks respite care. However, after a few days we realised I could not care for him as well as the dedicated staff at Copper Beech. He became a permanent resident in January 2023. When family and friends visited we all felt his care was excellent. The whole atmosphere of the home was caring and supportive of him and me. He was always very contented, enjoyed the food, but could not remember activities! He sadly passed away in his sleep at the age of 93 on the 15th of October 2023. We were very grateful for the excellent care he received from all the staff - he did not lose his sense of humour and he told me he was living with his family, which I think is a great compliment to everyone.
Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one was so well cared for and looked after with us, and our staff were always so welcoming and supportive of yourselves as the family and friends too. We are saddened to hear of your loss but hope...
The trouble Cooper Beech took in reviewing my mother’s needs before admission was far better than any other dementia nursing home in the region that I approached. They treated her as an individual even at the later stages of her life and nothing was too much trouble.
With our other parents, we have a lot of experience of dementia and nursing homes and the team at Copper Beech are the best I have come across, not just in their personalised care but also for keeping me informed on a regular basis.
I felt as though I could go back to being my mother’s daughter again rather than a carer from the moment she arrived at Copper Beech - thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your kind review. We are sorry for your loss. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after and we hope you all feel like a part of our Copper Beech family. We will certainly pass your comments on to...
The staff were all wonderful and cared for her with respect and dignity right up to her passing away. They were always very welcoming to family and friends who visited. I highly recommend Copper Beech, thank you for giving calm and kind care at the end of my mother’s life. We will forever be grateful.
Thank you for your kind words. We are saddened to hear about your loss. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time. Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care.
Excellent care was given to my mother. The carers were fantastic in her final days. I couldn't have asked for better care.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are sorry for your loss. We are very happy to hear you felt at ease with your mother in our care. Hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your mother received the best possible care.
The care home has a very welcoming feel. The staff are very friendly and always willing to chat. The residents' welfare and needs seem to come first and thoughtful and enjoyable entertainment is provided by enthusiastic entertainment staff. The food looks delicious and appetising. Although an OAP, I am not in need of a care home yet, but I hope that if I do have to place myself in one it is a good as Copper Beech.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. It is always nice to hear words such as 'thoughtful' and 'enjoyable' used to describe our care and the entertainment we provide for the residents. We hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care and thank you for choosing Copper Beech.
Perfect end of life care with total compassion.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your kind review. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time and hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care, thank you for choosing Copper Beech Care Home.
Mum enjoyed the really good food and afternoon tea and cake and got involved with the activities the home organised with other guests and the lovely staff.
We could go in and see her anytime, and pre-Covid it was a wonderful set-up for her.
During Covid of course it was very restrictive, but the home did everything they could and my sister had some access during that very difficult time.
Post Covid my mother's dementia was steadily worsening and this made life more difficult for the staff looking after her, however, they did their utmost to ensure Mum was happy and comfortable before sadly she left us.
Thank you for leaving your kind words. We are saddened to hear about your loss and we are so pleased we were able to help you and your family through such a difficult time. Hopefully, you will go away from this feeling like your mum received the best possible care.
My mother was treated with respect throughout her time at Copper Beech and I have nothing but praise for the staff and managers who looked after her.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your lovely response. We are saddened to hear about your loss but we hope you can find comfort knowing your mother received such respectful and dignified care in our Copper Beech Care Home.
My friend moved into Copper Beech Care Home in May last year and was made very welcome by all of the staff. She was not very mobile but whenever I visited she was always comfortable and the staff did their utmost to get her out of her room and join in the activities. They weren't always successful but whenever they were she enjoyed herself immensely. The patio area is very pleasant and I was able to bring my labrador to the home when it was warm enough to sit outside, which my friend loved. Thank you to everyone for making her time there as pleasant and comfortable as possible.
Thank you for your kind words. We hope Copper Beech Care Home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible, especially during such a difficult time. It is always nice to hear from family and friends feeling like their loved one is cared for, and being able to visit especially with your labrador can make such a difference as well, we look forward to seeing you again soon.
He received exceptional care from all the staff who are so kind and caring. Nothing was too much trouble and I will always be thankful to them.
It is such a clean, bright and friendly atmosphere in the home. The rooms are so homely and well-equipped. Every need is met.
Thank you for your feedback. We are happy that we were able to support the family and look after your Uncle in your time of need. Thank you again for your kind words.
Staff are, on the whole, very good but bank staff often do not speak English well - very difficult for elderly people. Activities need to take everyone's disabilities into account. Cleaners need more time to be thorough - chair seats are dirty etc. Understaffed so details are being missed - residents with dirty nails, always in a hurry not able to spend time with the residents who really need to talk. Not overly impressed with the doctor. The bedrooms are too small, the bathroom is poky - a toilet that has not flushed properly since the day my father arrived and still doesn't! Replacement lift saga!
Thank you for taking the time to write a detailed review. We do encourage feedback and I am sorry Copper Beech has not met your expectations recently. We are taking steps to address the issues you raise, for example in the last six months recruitment of permanent care staff has increased and...
I find the staff of Copper Beech Care Home to be amazing. They really do care for the residents. The activities are brilliant and very varied, including a visit from a shetland pony. I do think their rooms are too small considering how much time they spend indoors.
Thank you for your feedback. We are so glad your loved one enjoys the visits from the pony and the other activities available. I will certainly pass your comments about the rooms on to our management team. Please let us know if there is anything further we can do to make your loved ones stay as comfortable as possible.
An excellent establishment, carers are efficient, cheerful and ready to give that extra effort when required. The resident always comes first. I would not hesitate to recommend this Copper Beech Care Home to others.
Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear that you find our staff go above and beyond. Thank you for your recommendation.
I cannot praise all the staff highly enough. They have made a very stressful decision so much easier to bear. The care, compassion and understanding we have both been shown have been exceptional.
My husband speaks of the kindness and good care shown to him each time I visit. He also enjoys the meals and excellent entertainment.
A big thank you to all the staff from us both.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are so happy that we were able to help support you both through this difficult decision. It is so nice to hear that your husband has found all of our staff to be compassionate and understanding, I will certainly pass on your thanks to the whole team. Thank you for choosing Copper Beech.

Meet the Team (1)

I have been working for Bupa since February 2022. I started as a peripatetic manager and I am currently working as the registered home manager at Copper Beech.
I have been working in the care sector for the last 20 years. I was always passionate about caring for people especially elderly vulnerable adults who really need support. As a result, I started to work in the care sector. I worked as a team leader, deputy manager, home manager and regional support manager for various organisations.
I have managed nursing homes, dementia residential homes and learning disability homes during my career and also worked as a regional support manager overseeing three nursing homes before I joined Bupa.
I really enjoy making a difference in and improving our residents' quality of life.
Outside of work, I am married with children. My hobbies include music and travelling. I like to play the guitar in my own time, travel to new places and spend time with my family.
