From the moment I needed to find a suitable care home for my father I have been blown away by the care, empathy and efficient service given to me and my dad during a very difficult and emotional time.
I cannot praise enough the staff and teams at Cooperscroft for all their support, kindness and understanding.
Completely outstanding.

I cannot praise Cooperscroft enough. My father has become part of the Cooperscroft family.
On top of the exceptional care and love he (and we) receive on a daily basis, the amazing trips Dad and other residents go on are so well arranged and thought out. Dad thoroughly enjoyed his day in Southend by
the sea and eating his favourite fish and chips. Thank you.

My father sadly passed away at Cooperscroft in July 2019. We decided to hold the wake at Cooperscroft as the building and gardens are beautiful. Organised the catering with the head chef who was more than accommodating with my requests. The wake was perfect, the head chef went above and beyond expectations
with the catering and the staff were attentive and courteous.

Reply from Berni Martin, Lead Community Development Manager at Cooperscroft

Dear Sallie, We all thank you so very much for taking the time to write such a heartfelt review, during a very sad time for you and your family. We are so touched that you chose to have your Fathers Wake at the home. It will give me so much pleasure to relay your beautiful words to our Chef and the team. Thank you once again.

My husband came to Cooperscroft after a serious fall when he lost mobility, self-sufficiency with meals and articulation. He just wanted to sleep!
He has now largely regained all faculties, regained confidence and articulation, thanks to the help of all the staff and the atmosphere of this nursing
home. For my part, I have had two weeks respite and am ready to have him home but I cannot help feeling that he will miss the vibrant atmosphere at Cooperscroft.

Reply from Berni Martin, Lead Community Development Manager at Cooperscroft

We cannot thank you enough for your lovely words relating to the care given to your husband, we work very hard to ensure each and every resident is given all the care and attention with empathy and respect. We really hope to see you both again soon, if you need any further support please do not hesitate to contact us.

The journey to find my 93-year-old mum who has dementia and blind has been very difficult, but finally, I hope and believe. Cooperscroft Home have been very hands-on and approachable to discuss mums level of needs, she is now settling into an environment amongst similar residents with the help of all
the support staff who work so hard to enhance the lives of people like my mum. There aren't any specific care home for blind people with other needs but I truly hope Cooperscroft can and will meet her on-going needs to give her a quality of life she deserves.

My husband, with dementia, spent 2 weeks for respite care at Cooperscroft. He was warmly welcomed and things were taken at his pace. He felt secure enough to let me go with no problems. I understand he took part in a number of activities and he was in a positive happy mood when I collected him. The
staff were helpful and kind.

I can only compare our visit to food and compare it to another care home in the area.
The other home was a greasy spoon and Cooperscroft was a la carte.

My mother was a resident in Cooperscroft for a week following a fall.
Her care could not have been better.
We were all impressed by the friendly, family atmosphere created by all staff and every staff member we met smiled, introduced themselves and made Mum feel welcome.
The member of staff on reception
went out of her way to support Mum when her dementia made her upset when we left.
I would highly recommend Cooperscroft.

I was very reluctant to come for convalescence following my hip replacement surgery. However, I needn't have worried as the overall care from day and night staff was excellent and was very beneficial to my immediate recovery. I would unreservedly recommend Cooperscroft to any family and friends who
might need respite care.
Reluctantly I do feel I should point out the way the carers helped themselves to food, just with their hands, while serving the meals. This seemed so unprofessional.

Reply from Brenda Sweetman, Home Manager at Cooperscroft

Thank you for your response - We were very happy that we were able to help you and support you returning home. Thank you too for raising the negative issues you noticed when you were here - this is not acceptable and we have addressed it with our teams. Thank you for taking the time to do this review we value all feedback

My mother-in-law is a resident at the home for over 5 years and since she has been in the home. I find she is well looked after by very good staff if this was not the case she would not be as happy as she is. So I thank the staff and management for their wonderful care of my mother-in-law.

My mother came to the home after my father died. She was frail and poorly. The staff in the home made mum very welcome, looked after her and took very good care of her. She settled in and started to join and go on trips and she was very happy before she was taken from us after just 4 months at the home.
The staff liked her and she liked the staff. The staff also made me feel comfortable when visiting as they were always friendly, caring and attentive.

We are pleased we could give your mother a good quality of life for her last few months. Please accept our condolences.

You couldn't be in better hands. The care, compassion, love and helpfulness of all the staff has been amazing. We were all treated like family from the first visit. Nothing was too much for them to do. The homely rooms and areas, it was like being in a 4-star hotel only better. The garden area is a
wonderful place to relax and enjoy. The food was always hot and tasty. You can be safe in the knowledge that your loved one will be very well cared for.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.989)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.989) out of 10 for Cooperscroft is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.989 for Cooperscroft is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 178 Ratings = 4.989

  • b) 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 Cooperscroft is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
