I have always viewed the care at Cooperscroft to a high extreme, but recently I was overwhelmed by the generosity of time and devotion given to my mother on her birthday. At the age of 91, she was made to feel so special with a gift, individual time and a personal cake. I was taken back with the amount
of individual staff involved in making her day and particular, thank the chef and the catering staff for the spectacular birthday cake. The time and expertise that it took to produce such a beautiful cake were of no surprise as the food an dedication of the catering staff has always been beyond individual expectation. Thank you.

Reply from Brenda Sweetman, Home Manager at Cooperscroft

We always try to make everyone feel special every day but especially on special occasions such as birthdays - we are so pleased you and your mother enjoyed her celebration - Our catering team are very special - I will pass on your wonderful review

Our mum was a service user at Cooperscroft for the past 9 years and there was never a day when she was unhappy. The care she received from all the staff on Lavender Ward was compassionate, caring and above and beyond what we could have wished for. After a number of home care packages, we made the very
difficult decision to entrust our mum into the care of Cooperscroft and they never let us or our mum down. We will always be grateful for their dedication and continued compassion and hard work. The laundry staff also worked so hard in making sure that the clothes were always washed and ironed to a very high standard, and making sure all her clothes were put away neatly in the dressing table.

I have been extremely impressed with the care given to my friend each and every day - from the carers to the office staff. The outings the residents are taken out to are greatly appreciated. I recently joined my friend, plus others, on a wonderful canal trip with fish and chip lunch provided. Once again,
I was privileged to watch the caring staff working so tirelessly all day.

When my husband's dementia became impossible for me to care for him at home I started looking for care homes. Between my good friend and myself, we visited 26 homes in Hertfordshire. When we saw Cooperscroft we knew this one was the best! It is! My husband very happy and extremely well cared for, marvellous
room, garden and food. You have to visit Cooperscroft.

The team here at Cooperscroft are very happy that you are so happy with your husband's care - thank you for taking the time to give feedback to us.

The thought of moving from her home of many years was a daunting prospect for my mother. However thanks to the team at Cooperscroft she has settled into her new home.


Cooperscroft is recently built and spotlessly clean with several bright and cheerful sitting areas. The gardens are lovely, with

trees, paths and a pond, and they provide somewhere peaceful to sit in the summer. The meals are extensive, tasty and well prepared, with a dining room on each floor.


My family and I have been impressed by the daily activities and events, in particular, the wonderful Hawaiian themed summer party which took place in the gardens. There was top class professional musical entertainment and lovely food cooked for us all.


Cooperscroft is a happy place, with friendly and caring staff, and I am very pleased that my mother is there.


Reply from Brenda Sweetman, Home Manager at Cooperscroft

The team at Cooperscroft are so pleased that we were able to support your mother and her family with this difficult transition. She has settled so well and is already a well loved family member - thank you for your kind review.

Since my husband has been a resident in Cooperscroft he has been treated with the best of care. Everywhere is kept very clean and the staff are efficient and friendly. I especially like that he is included in social events and that everyone seems to have time to help him and talk to him. The food is
excellent and he is eating well now and gaining weight. It’s nice that I am also invited to be included in lots of social events.
The nursing staff are also very approachable and ask me if I am happy with the care my husband is given and keep me informed regarding his medication and visits by his GP.

Reply from Brenda Sweetman, Home Manager at Cooperscroft

We are very happy that your husband has settled so well and that you are both an important part of the Cooperscroft family.

I came here after being seriously ill in hospital. I could only walk 2 or 3 steps with the help of a nurse, otherwise, I was in a wheelchair. I have received the nursing care and above all, great kindness all the time I have been here. Tomorrow I go home, able to walk and so very much better than when
I came here and that I feel confident about the future. I am very grateful to everyone at Cooperscroft.

The family have found Cooperscroft outstanding. The quality of care given to my wife's father has been exemplary. The home sets and meets very high standards in cleanliness, organisation, management and administration, nursing care and friendliness. It meets a very good balance between a high-quality
environment (room, dining room, lounge, gardens) and a homely and friendly atmosphere. This is entirely down to the quality of staff at every level and in every part of the Home.

Reply from Brenda Sweetman, Home Manager at Cooperscroft

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback - we are happy to be able to provide care for your father in law and we know how much that reassurance means to all his family.

I found the care for my sister all I would have expected. All her requirements were dealt with, as were any queries I raised. Her room was very comfortable and bright and the laundry service, cleaning and programmes for the week all very good.

My dad has been in Cooperscroft for one month. His dementia is quite advanced but he is fully mobile. He is a particularly strong individual and the staff are very patient.


The facilities make it a joy to visit and although he did not fully participate, the staff went out of their way to make his

91st birthday a day to remember for all of us, his extended family.

The staff are really wonderful at Cooperscroft.
Very caring and they made my dad's stay there comfortable.
They have lots going on and everyone is encouraged to join in but if they want to be left alone they understand that too.
Food is wonderful and the rooms are top notch.
Every time I visited
everyone smiled and said hello to me which I could tell was genuine.
Thank you for making the last 4 weeks of my dad's life special.

Cooperscroft is the only care home I have come across that truly understands how to create an environment in which residents can enjoy every aspect of their lives as much as is possible. Their attention to detail with regard to care, activities, food, emotional support and the general running of the
home is second to none. I can only offer my sincere and heartfelt gratitude and congratulations.

My mum has been in Cooperscroft for over 3 years. She always looks well cared for. Her room is always clean and tidy. The events are very good and they have recently started a 'Breakfast Club' for relatives to join in. They made it really special, lovely food, and a little quiz for everyone to join
in. Well done to all staff.

My wife has been a resident at this home for 22 months. I visit her at least 4 times a week, and found very little wrong with the overall standard. Staff, from management to the lowest employee are very attentive and pleasant at all times.


Medical care, food, laundry, security and accommodation are

all excellent.


Activities and care need a special mention - very good.

It can be seen from my various ratings of the 12 categories below how good my experience of Cooperscroft is.


I consider that the excellence of its management is so very crucial in all of this, because everything permeates down from the management and that is why all aspects run so well.


The excellence

of the activities at Cooperscroft, and of its activities staff, is so very important and beneficial to the residents there.

I have found the staff to be very caring and the home has a cheerful, positive feel. There are plenty of activities arranged for the residents and this year more outings - to the seaside and other places of interest. Relatives are kept up to date through quarterly meetings. I would have no problem in
recommending Cooperscroft.

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.
