My mum has now been a resident in a dementia unit at the Copelands Dementia and Residential Care for almost a year and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to anybody. All the management and support staff are approachable, professional, caring and keen to do whatever to make Mum comfortable. They encourage her to join in during activities but also respond to the individual wants and needs of residents on a one-to-one basis. The standards of housekeeping are exceptional and the domiciliary team members are always on the go. The standard of catering is also excellent with a varied and nutritious menu which changes regularly and individual meals are often adapted to suit the appetite of the resident. What I find really heartwarming is that all staff members from the different functions interact with the residents on a day-to-day basis which I believe helps the residents to feel at home.
We are so impressed and delighted with Copelands Dementia and Residential Care and Mum has settled in really well. The staff are truly wonderful; kind, caring and efficient. The whole place has a feeling of community and homely normality. You only have to see the quality of the building and furnishings, not to mention the views, to realise that this place is special but it's the super staff who make the place so outstanding.
A beautiful home with an excellent standard of care. Facilities for residents and families are of a high standard. There are places to sit quietly or to go for a chat. The worship space gives place for reflection and regular services held are enjoyed by residents. All of these things contribute to Copelands Dementia and Residential Care feeling like home and not just a place to live.
Mum's best interests are at the heart of everything they do.
I have also experienced how everyone at Copelands Dementia and Residential Care also has time for me as Alzheimer's disease can be difficult to watch Mum losing her memories and is so emotional.
Mum has been in Copelands for seven months and I trust everyone as I see how Mum is treated daily, I am always kept up to date on Mum's progress. She has built up great relationships with the kitchen staff as well as carers and leaders. Mum enjoys all activities. When Mum is anxious the team are brilliant at reassuring Mum. I now look at the team at Copelands as our extended family and can't thank them enough.
Making decisions to find the right care home for our loved ones is an extremely tough and emotional decision and I am so happy we eventually found the right place for Mum and highly recommend Copelands.
I visited lots of care homes looking for somewhere for my mum to live as she was no longer managing alone. Mum has now been in Copelands Dementia and Residential Care for three months. It is the most amazing place. I love it and, more importantly, so does Mum. The facilities are great and all the staff are just lovely. I feel so welcome and part of the place. Mum still has full independence with any support she needs. Plenty of activities when she wants them and company when it suits her. I can't find one criticism. Everyone, staff, relatives and residents all seem very happy.
The experience I have had at Copelands Dementia and Residential Care since my mother became a resident has been outstanding. It was a very difficult time for our mother and the whole family during the transition of her settling in. The last two months, unfortunately, have been an outbreak of Covid but the way the staff handled the whole situation has been reassuring for myself and my siblings. I would highly recommend Copelands as they are very professional, caring, considerate and I feel my mum is blessed being a resident.
