Copper Beech is custom-built for a wide range of nursing care and residential needs, these can include post-operative care, convalescence, dementia and palliative care. Respite and long-term care packages are put together by experienced professionals and tailored to individual requirements.

A purpose-built property has modern safety features, underfloor heating and is wheelchair accessible. Comfortable furniture is colour coordinated and the patio and garden areas are great for relaxing in.

As an enhanced service to the residents, weekly GP visits are conducted at Copper Beech Care Home, enabling residents to receive regular, personalised medical reviews as part of the person-centred care.

The home prepares delicious meals and snacks for residents to enjoy in the social dining area or in the comfort of the privacy of the resident's room. There are always plenty of favourites on the menu, but the staff also talk to each resident on arrival about likes and dislikes, and any special dietary requirements.

An active lifestyle is supported, with carers helping residents to access the hobbies and interests that inspire them and there are many activities to take part in such as arts and crafts, bingo and games.

We are very pleased with mum's care. She has been here since the end of last year. They deal with mum in a very caring way. She took a while to settle in but it has given us peace of mind knowing that she is well looked after. All of the staff are lovely.
Reply from Gabriella Mills, Customer Adviser at Copper Beech Care Home

My husband moved from a previous care home to Copper Beech mainly to make it easier to visit. I am so pleased he was accepted.
He loves it there and I can't praise the management or staff highly enough for their care.
He is treated with kindness and dignity.
There is always something going on if
he wants to join in but has the quiet and privacy of his room if he doesn't.

I cannot speak highly enough of the care my dad is receiving at Copper Beech. He has settled in well and is enjoying the lovely homemade meals. There are activities/entertainment every afternoon which, much to my amazement, he has joined in with and enjoyed. (Even a yoga class and making a lavender
bag!).
The staff are attentive and seem to know the personal requirements/personality of each resident.
I leave him every day knowing that he is in safe hands.

Review from Lorraine H (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 June 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother was admitted to Copper Beach in June.
From the beginning of her stay she was warmly welcomed. Her room was ready, there was a very pretty hand written card to welcome her giving the name of the sister and her initial carer, a very nice personal touch.
Her room and ensuite facility were
clean. Two windows were open just enough to let some air in the room, allowing it to be warm and welcoming.
During my mother's stay we were allowed to come and go as we liked. We personalised her room to help her feel at home.
Every member of staff we encountered was friendly and helpful and seemed to be on hand to answer any questions with ease. They were all caring, kind and professional and nothing was too much trouble. I am also certain that when I wasn't there my mum always knew there was a member of staff not too far away.
Mum although having palliative care told me on a few visits how nice the staff were and how she'd had a joke with some of them. So that was really nice to know.
Reply from Jayne Duck, Customer services administrator at Copper Beech Care Home

So sorry to hear of your loss. Please accept our condolences. It is the little things like the card that make such a difference. I'm sure in time to come it will be a comfort to you knowing that she could have a joke and a laugh with the staff and that she was happy.

Having been in management I found it strange that the house manager did not do a weekend duty who was in overall charge.
The overall complaint was the food, one doesn't expect hotel food, but no imagination, poorly cooked green very and over boiled and I would say that the allowance for the food is
not very generous.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
A warm, welcoming nursing home where it is small enough to be family. Tight knit and long-stay team of nurses and carers. Excellent liaising and support from local GP surgery. No unpleasant odour and have experienced committed Rn's who are personal but not over familiar. Well-placed nursing stations
for good understanding of all care and safety. Very pleasant patio garden at back. The only disadvantage is that the rooms are very small.

My husband went to Copper Beech for respite initially and we were very pleased with the home. In January he collapsed and went to hospital and it was decided that he needed full-time care. We did not hesitate to book him into Copper Beech. The staff and management are excellent and he is very happy
and well looked after. I visit him regularly and the staff are always welcoming. I am very happy that the decision was made for him to be in full-time care at Copper Beech - it is his second home!

Mum has been declining in health for the last few years. Ending up in A&E this last December forced us to look for a more permanent solution for mum's health and wellbeing. Copper Beech fitted her needs and ours. The staff are friendly, approachable and the food is excellent. There are no 'bad lingering
smells' and hygiene is excellent. Mum is now happier and we are reassured she is being cared for.

I have been a resident for 15 months and have been happy and content with no complaints. I am mobile with a stick and am free to walk about, "in" and "out" with permission, within the boundary. We have a community spirit with staff and residents as applicable.
The environment is comfortable and reasonable
and suits my needs. Medically it is good here and reliable, with doctors available weekly if needs be.
Overall it is pleasant, safe and satisfactory.

Review from Tina S (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 31 August 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My whole family are very disappointed with Copper Beech, we found the majority of carer's cold and unhelpful, it took ages to find a carer/nurse when you needed one. They always seemed very short staffed, which I find totally unacceptable given the prices they charge!! The communal areas were empty
most of the time, you could be visiting for 2/3 hours and not see anyone walking about even! Most of the residents seem to lay in their rooms all day, I only ever saw one lady sat at a table in the dining room upstairs when I visited, which was at least 2/3 times a week.
My grandmother had a family member visit every day and we are all of the same opinions. Copper Beech is making a lot of money, they need to invest in some decent, cheerful caring staff that actually WANT to be there and do the job! A new manager that spends more time out the office, checking on staff and residents also needs to happen, in my opinion! Thank goodness my grandmother was only there 2 months!

My Mother went to live at 'Copper Beech Care Home' in October 2015 after leaving hospital with pneumonia and was very weak and frail. Throughout her stay at Copper Beech Care Home she received good care, good food and a very personal level of her needs. I cannot thank the staff enough for looking after
Mother in her final few weeks of her life. Mother passed away on Sunday 10th July after three harrowing weeks when she was so ill. The staff gave me so much support through this difficult time and couldn't ask for better support and nursing needs. I owe Copper Beech Care Home so much - Mother died in a caring and loving environment.

My mother spent 3 1/2 weeks here at the end of her life suffering from terminal cancer. She was bed bound. The staff treated her with dignity and respect and did their best to keep her pain free although she did experience break through pain. They frequently called the GP out and always made a point
of updating me on what was going on and always had time to answer my questions. Rooms are a good standard, atmosphere clam and peaceful. Certain staff are skilled in end of life care. I'm so glad my mum ended her life at Copper Beech rather than in hospital.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.900)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.900) out of 10 for Copper Beech Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.900 for Copper Beech Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (184 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.9
  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 Beech Care Home is based on 17 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 17 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.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2022

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.
