Review from Linda C (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 October 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were apprehensive about whether or not my mother would settle in a care home.
After moving into Coppice Lodge our fears all diminished. The staff are so caring and attentive, nothing is too much trouble for them.
Her bedroom is very homely, with her own television and fridge included.
There is
an excellent variety of food at meal times. Plenty of activities and entertainment throughout the day and evening.
Coppice Lodge is bright, spacious and most welcoming.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When we went looking for a residential home for my auntie to stay in, we were so impressed with everything at Coppice Lodge, we decided there and then that it would be perfect for her. My auntie was a resident for just over a year.
We could not have asked any more of the staff during her stay, they
were superb with her.
Unfortunately, she has passed away, we were there with her and the carers were brilliant and made sure we were ok at every stage.
I would certainly recommend Coppice Lodge to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Coppice Lodge was a failing home with no real organisation or personal touches. It was very worrying to have Grandma here and caused a great deal of stress to my parents.
We cannot believe the turnaround since the manager joined you, utterly amazing. You can see the countless positive effects of her
management skills, you feel it as a family, you see it in your relative and you see and feel it in the change in staff who are motivated and full of purpose.
The manager has restored faith for us in Ideal Care Homes and created an outstanding care home that we could not recommend enough.

Review from Jane (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 March 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been living here over 4 years now and has seen many changes over this time but is now in a position that is more stable. It is a bright and cheerful place with high standards. The food is cooked freshly every day and if she is not wanting anything off the daily menu, they are flexible
enough to choose something she might like. She has her hair done every week which gives her a boost. The carers care! The Management care! Mum is very happy and I genuinely believe she is loved here. If there are any issues I address them with the Manager and she investigates immediately and finds a solution. I am listened to and ideas from relatives are always welcomed. There are many events laid on and a weekly programme produced for residents. The coffee bar is a real boost to the home and is somewhere extra for relatives to meet with their loved ones and enjoy a coffee and sometimes amazing cakes made by the kitchen staff. I am more than happy my mother is here and safe!

After a couple of spells in hospital, my aunt was pleased to be back at Coppice Lodge. She has another UTI and while visiting her, a carer came in every 10-15 minutes to check that my aunt was OK and encouraged her to drink. My aunt wanted some grapes and one of the carers very kindly popped to the
shops for her. The home is very clean, comfortable, well decorated and warm. The carers are attentive to residents and visitors. my aunt seems happy here.

Review from Graham S (Son of Resident) published on 24 November 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I feel lucky to have got my mum into Coppice Lodge with almost no notice when her partner and carer was hospitalised with a terminal prognosis. She has moderate to severe dementia. First impressions back in August were that it was very smart being newly opened. Facilities etc similar to a hotel. Four
or five visits on mum says she is happy and comfortable on each occasion. They seem to organise plenty of entertainment and I can't fault what I have seen of the staff- lots of hugging. Food must be good as mum is putting on weight. Most telling was when I visited with a council worker there to assess mum's capacity. She asked mum where she was and she responded "In a home", "Yes but what sort of home?". After repeating the question to a puzzled and exasperated mum three times mum replied: "Well it's a loving happy home of course!". Nuff said.

Mum is very contented and well looked after, she gets on well with the staff. The staff are always helpful when help is needed by myself or mum. They always keep me informed about mum's health and are quick to get medical help when required. It is a relaxing home to live and visit.

Very pleased with the way it's run, they have a singer on nearly every week and party night which includes a nice meal and a glass of wine. The rooms all have ensuite with TV and DVD and a decent size fridge. The staff are really friendly and caring, you can come and go whenever you want and you treat
it like home. If you want a coffee or a meal you are always welcome to have one. I would rate it 10 out of 10.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Since the assignment of new manager, everything about the home has tremendously improved, it has come alive! Prior to this, the home was very, very poor in all aspects, apart from the caring staff, who despite abysmal management and lack of direction, continued to do their best.
Commendations to laundry
and catering staff, always doing their best. Secretary has good communication skills. However, to date, the gardens and outside appearance are dreadful and require regular maintenance. The frontage is dire, probably due to understaffing.

Review from Chris C (Friend of Resident) published on 12 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I think on the whole that standards in the care home are good. However, from experience of visiting people over at least 3 years and in different parts of the building, I have seen that's standards are not always the same all over.
I also think that the owners do not always know the direct needs of
residents or even the staff they employ. Numbers of staff on duty at certain times of the day leave a lot to be desired, particularity early evening and change over time. Dementia residents need more attention and sometimes one to one care, but staff also need to have variety and space from demanding residents.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.496)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.496) out of 10 for Coppice Lodge is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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 4.496 for Coppice Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (265 Excellents x 5) + (159 Goods x 4) + (24 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 454 Ratings = 4.496
  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 Coppice Lodge is based on 38 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 38 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.
