Thank you , NO A BIG THANK YOU! After looking after my husband at home with a number of ailments for years , we had to make the decision to look for a care home for my husband , because his Dementia was so bad , I unfortunately had to decide on a home for him. He is now in Cooper House , is settled , and very well looked after. It makes the life of all our family so much easier , because we know he is in a caring , safe environment . Each visit we make confirms , that we chose well with Cooper House. The staff is very friendly , helpful and there when we have questions or need reassurance. We are promptly informed , if there has been an incident like a fall for example, because this can not be avoided as I know from my care time for my husband at home .
We are delighted that our team has been able to provide reassurance, friendliness, and...
From what I understand she started work at 8pm for her shift and was still there at 11am the next day still caring for Mum.
Making the heart wrenching decision to move Mum into a Care/Nursing home is something we are still struggling with, but, knowing she is being looked after by people like Emma takes a huge amount of the guilt away. She really went above and beyond for Mum and looked after her as though she was her own mum.
Thank you
Thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt message. Your words mean a great deal to the whole team.We are truly pleased to hear that your mum received compassionate and professional care during such a difficult time. Our staff take great pride in providing support with empathy and respect, and...
I was very pleased with the care my mum was given while she was in Cooper House. The staff couldn't have been more caring and sympathetic to her and the other residents. I have to give a special mention to one of the carers, who showed me understanding when I was getting upset. There was another member of staff whose name I unfortunately can't remember, but she attended my mum's funeral with another member of staff who was also very kind. Yes, Cooper House is an excellent care home!!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful message. We are truly grateful for your kind words about the care your mum received at Cooper House. It means a great deal to the whole team to know that their compassion and dedication made a difference to both your mum and your family.I will ensure your...

There seems to be a shortage of staff. Residents are often left in the day lounge unsupervised for long periods of time. On the rare occasion there is a member of staff in the lounge they are often preoccupied on their mobile phone rather than interacting with residents. I often visit my mother and do not see a member of staff at all during my visit or have to go hunting for someone to help other residents. There are a small number of lovely, dedicated staff but there are some who are quite rude and abrupt with both residents and visitors. The dining room is often dirty and not set for meal times. I feel that the activities/entertainment is poor and there appears to be a lack of stimulation for residents. I would like regular updates on what activities my mother has been involved in. I would suggest some nice background music in the lounge. The home looks run down and needs investment in decor and furnishings. I have seen no improvements since Strong Life Care took over in Jan 2025.
I still wasn't happy, so I persisted, and then 2 days later, a nurse and another doctor said he had cellulitis and needed antibiotic cream. This should have been prescribed at the first notification, thus causing unnecessary discomfort.
I had a meeting with the daughter regarding the concerns raised above and was able to show evidence to her that her father (MC) has a shower 2 - 3 a week and has a wash between showers. Daughter suggested that her dad would like a bath once a week which has been added to the care plan.Regarding...
Not enough supervision eating and drinking also with his trying to persuade him to join in the entertainment and go to the dining room for meals.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We truly value all comments as they help us improve the care and support we provide. Were sorry to hear your concerns regarding supervision during mealtimes and encouraging participation in activities. Please be assured that we have taken steps...
Dad is happy, feels secure, I couldn't ask for better people to care for him 24/7.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. It truly means the world to all of us here at Cooper House to know that your dad feels safe, secure, and happyand that you and your family feel supported as well. We are honoured to be entrusted with his care and will continue to do everything...
Fabulous care home there is not much else to say. Everything is excellent.
Thank you so much for your wonderful words! Were absolutely delighted to hear that you feel everything is excellent at Cooper House. Its our privilege to care for our residents, and feedback like yours truly means so much to the whole team. We're committed to maintaining the high standards youve...
Plenty of entertainment from the residents in the lounge all told a good home to live and visit in.
Thank you for your lovely words and observations! We're so glad you enjoy the outlook from the roomsespecially the peaceful view of the hens and garden at the back. We agree, a bit of warmer weather would make it even more perfect! It's wonderful to hear that the atmosphere in the lounge brings joy...
Because of Covid restrictions it is hard to review, but I can say in my experience so far this year the staff have been very caring. The new manager has made very friendly changes for family to keep in touch with their residents.
Thank you for your feedback in relation to Cooper House Care Home, your comments really are welcomed. As an organisation we are committed to providing the highest quality of care in order to make a real and lasting difference for everyone we support. Thank you again for taking the time to provide us with valuable feedback.
