Copper Beech is custom-built for a wide range of nursing care and residential needs, these can include post-operative care, convalescence, dementia and palliative care. Respite and long-term care packages are put together by experienced professionals and tailored to individual requirements.

A purpose-built property has modern safety features, underfloor heating and is wheelchair accessible. Comfortable furniture is colour coordinated and the patio and garden areas are great for relaxing in.

As an enhanced service to the residents, weekly GP visits are conducted at Copper Beech Care Home, enabling residents to receive regular, personalised medical reviews as part of the person-centred care.

The home prepares delicious meals and snacks for residents to enjoy in the social dining area or in the comfort of the privacy of the resident's room. There are always plenty of favourites on the menu, but the staff also talk to each resident on arrival about likes and dislikes, and any special dietary requirements.

An active lifestyle is supported, with carers helping residents to access the hobbies and interests that inspire them and there are many activities to take part in such as arts and crafts, bingo and games.

Was very impressed with the level of care and the attention to detail. My dad enjoyed his stay and would be happy to come back for another visit. The housekeeping staff were very helpful and the home was lovely and clean. They were happy to help in anyway that they could. Would recommend Copper Beech
Care Home to anyone who asks. Many thanks.

My dad is content and happy in Copper Beech Care Home. The staff are caring and look after my dad very well, they have also looked after me when I have been upset about putting him in a care home.
My dad loves the food in the care home and quite often has seconds. He also loves the singalong afternoon.
Copper Beech's care of my father has taken a lot of stress away from me.

My mother has had incredible care at Copper Beech Care Home over the last 8 months. The staff have been very kind and attentive throughout this time. We couldn't have asked for a more caring environment, especially bearing in mind how frail and poorly she was before admission. It was a massive comfort
to know that she was safe and secure in Copper Beech.

I was looking for a care home for my father and walked into Copper Beech unannounced. The reception staff and management could not be more helpful and sympathetic and we were very happy to help. My father has settled very well and the nursing staff have been wonderful. They treat the residents with
dignity and care. Overall, my family have been very happy that we chose Copper Beech for my father.

My sister entered the home in late January 2024 following an inspection by my wife and myself. We were shown round by a very charming member of staff who explained all about the care they could provide. My sister and myself cannot fault the care she has been given. I know she can be difficult at times,
however, the staff just smile and cope with each situation and I am extremely pleased with their care of her.

My mum was treated with the utmost care and attention. She loved all the staff and they loved her. Her bedsores were immediately dealt with from hospital stay. All staff, management, orderlies and nurses were fantastic. I could not speak more highly of this home. I would score it 10 out of 5. Thank
you for your care and attention to my dear mum.

Copper Beech is very welcoming and homely, with high standards of cleanliness. While the staff are caring and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The staff appear to have a good rapport with the residents and also take an interest in the residents as individuals. The residents are also well catered
for, with activities and entertainment which is open to the residents' visitors to share as well. I feel that my brother-in-law, who suffers from dementia and other issues, is being well looked after and cared for.

My husband had Alzheimer's so he went into Copper Beech from hospital where he was treated for pneumonia. Initially for three weeks respite care. However, after a few days we realised I could not care for him as well as the dedicated staff at Copper Beech. He became a permanent resident in January 2023.
When family and friends visited we all felt his care was excellent. The whole atmosphere of the home was caring and supportive of him and me. He was always very contented, enjoyed the food, but could not remember activities! He sadly passed away in his sleep at the age of 93 on the 15th of October 2023. We were very grateful for the excellent care he received from all the staff - he did not lose his sense of humour and he told me he was living with his family, which I think is a great compliment to everyone.

Reply from Grace Langfield, Customer Service Adviser at Copper Beech Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one was so well cared for and looked after with us, and our staff were always so welcoming and supportive of yourselves as the family and friends too. We are saddened to hear of your loss but hope you are able to look back on this experience knowing your husband received the best possible care. We will certainly pass on your comments to the manager.

The care at Copper Beech for my mother has been excellent from the moment she arrived by ambulance to the moment she passed away. The staff were amazing throughout my mother’s ten week stay with them helping her with her feeding, with health problems related to her stay in a previous care home and ultimately
with her end-of-life care.
The trouble Cooper Beech took in reviewing my mother’s needs before admission was far better than any other dementia nursing home in the region that I approached. They treated her as an individual even at the later stages of her life and nothing was too much trouble.
With our other parents, we have a lot of experience of dementia and nursing homes and the team at Copper Beech are the best I have come across, not just in their personalised care but also for keeping me informed on a regular basis.
I felt as though I could go back to being my mother’s daughter again rather than a carer from the moment she arrived at Copper Beech - thank you.

My mother spent the last three months of her life at Copper Beech, following a hospital stay. Prior to that, she had been in a different care home where she hadn’t been given the level of care she needed. Copper Beech saved the day and took mum in when she was very poorly and gave her a calm and loving
few months. She had severe dementia and pressure sores on arrival, obviously, the dementia couldn’t improve but mum seemed calmer with the lovely care she was given and her pressure sores healed up quickly. She wasn’t given calming drugs until near the end. The nurse kept us up to date with mum’s care, always popping in to have a word when we visited, which was most days.
The staff were all wonderful and cared for her with respect and dignity right up to her passing away. They were always very welcoming to family and friends who visited. I highly recommend Copper Beech, thank you for giving calm and kind care at the end of my mother’s life. We will forever be grateful.

The care home has a very welcoming feel. The staff are very friendly and always willing to chat. The residents' welfare and needs seem to come first and thoughtful and enjoyable entertainment is provided by enthusiastic entertainment staff. The food looks delicious and appetising. Although an OAP, I
am not in need of a care home yet, but I hope that if I do have to place myself in one it is a good as Copper Beech.

My late mother passed away peacefully at Copper Beech in December 2022 after being a full-time resident there since 2019. We had a very smooth transition into the home as we had used Copper Beech for respite care when my mother lived with my sister and we knew it was the right place for her to go once
her dementia became difficult and risky to deal with in the home environment.
Mum enjoyed the really good food and afternoon tea and cake and got involved with the activities the home organised with other guests and the lovely staff.
We could go in and see her anytime, and pre-Covid it was a wonderful set-up for her.
During Covid of course it was very restrictive, but the home did everything they could and my sister had some access during that very difficult time.
Post Covid my mother's dementia was steadily worsening and this made life more difficult for the staff looking after her, however, they did their utmost to ensure Mum was happy and comfortable before sadly she left us.

My mother died on 29th March 2023, having been a Copper Beech Care Home resident since January 2018. She suffered with extreme dementia, with limited mobility for most of her stay at the care home.
My mother was treated with respect throughout her time at Copper Beech and I have nothing but praise
for the staff and managers who looked after her.

My friend moved into Copper Beech Care Home in May last year and was made very welcome by all of the staff. She was not very mobile but whenever I visited she was always comfortable and the staff did their utmost to get her out of her room and join in the activities. They weren't always successful
but whenever they were she enjoyed herself immensely. The patio area is very pleasant and I was able to bring my labrador to the home when it was warm enough to sit outside, which my friend loved. Thank you to everyone for making her time there as pleasant and comfortable as possible.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.857)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.857) out of 10 for Copper Beech Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.857 for Copper Beech Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (200 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 224 Ratings = 4.857

  • 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 Copper Beech Care Home is based on 19 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 19 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2022

I have been working for Bupa since February 2022. I started as a peripatetic manager and I am currently working as the registered home manager at Copper Beech.


I have been working in the care sector for the last 20 years. I was always passionate about caring for people especially elderly vulnerable adults who really need support. As a result, I started to work in the care sector. I worked as a team leader, deputy manager, home manager and regional support manager for various organisations.


I have managed nursing homes, dementia residential homes and learning disability homes during my career and also worked as a regional support manager overseeing three nursing homes before I joined Bupa.


I really enjoy making a difference in and improving our residents' quality of life.


Outside of work, I am married with children. My hobbies include music and travelling. I like to play the guitar in my own time, travel to new places and spend time with my family.
