  • Coppice Court Care Home, Eastbourne
Coppice Court Care Home, situated just outside the popular seaside resort of Eastbourne, offers personalised nursing and nursing dementia care.

Having recently undergone a refurbishment programme which transformed communal areas including dining rooms, lounges/day rooms, the activities room, reception area, hair salon, bathrooms and corridors, Coppice Court provides contemporary but cosy living spaces. Each area was thoughtfully designed to enhance the daily life of every resident and support the mind, body and soul. The pretty landscaped garden and patio is the perfect spot to spend time with friends and family.

Recognising the nutritional needs of older people, the catering team at Coppice Court designed varied and delicious menus to offer residents a dining experience that they can look forward to. Meals can be enjoyed across the range of popular dining areas and for the warmer months the outdoor spaces are also firm favourites with residents and their loved ones to enjoy a spot of al fresco dining.

The dedicated and professional care team at Coppice Court take time to learn about each resident’s hobbies and interests, allowing them to curate an engaging and enriching activity programme, supporting residents to enjoy the things they love most. From building relationships with neighbours in local community groups and schools, to arranging sightseeing trips in the local area, at Coppice Court, residents are also encouraged to take an active role in the Eastbourne community.

Every member of the professional care team is there to offer all the support residents and their loved ones need. With a wealth of knowledge and experience in the care sector, the Home Manager leads the team to ensure residents are supported to lead their best lives at Coppice Court Care Home.

My dad was transferred here from another care home in October this year. The difference here for dad is second to none. Dad is a very difficult person to care for but here, nothing is too much trouble. Every single member of staff shows such care and empathy towards him, giving him time and patience.
Everybody from management, carers, well-being, house keeping to kitchen staff, always have a smile on their face. They keep me updated and informed in all aspects of dad's care. I have finally found dad's forever home and would recommend Coppice Court to anybody.

Since my mum has been here, shes been incredibly happy. She loves all the staff and is always laughing with them. She spends time in the dining/lounge area eating and taking part in activities. The stimulation and the caring staff are why my mum has lived to 101. I have watched staff who put a gentle
hand on a patients shoulder or stroke a patients cheek. Just little things that make them feel cared for.

A friend of mine who is 93 was on the ground floor (dementia floor). He was neglected in many ways and I witnessed a lot of inappropriate behaviour by the staff on that floor including the screening of a sexually explicit tv programme. His daughter also witnessed these things and we raised a safeguarding
issue with adult social care. This has been investigated and adult social care found evidence to back up our claims. This report has now been sent to HC-One and the CQC. My mum was also in the home on the top floor (nursing). The care in that floor is much better. Although money was stolen from her purse and this wasn't investigated by the manager. She should have reported it to the police and she didn't. The staff on the top floor work very hard and are often short-staffed and don't have much time to spend with the residents. On occasions, it has taken 20 minutes or more to answer her call bell because of this. A safeguarding issue has been raised with ASC with regard to the theft.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Coppice Court Care Home

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. Due to confidentiality, we cannot discuss matters raised about your friend, but we can advise any concerns were dealt with, and feedback was given to the family. It can take time for some residents to adjust to living in a care setting, especially those with dementia. It may also take us some time to understand residents as they may not be able to express their needs. A full investigation into alleged colleague conduct was carried out but there was no evidence to support this claim by the home or adult social care. Had this been raised at the time we would have been able to immediately deal with any issues. Our allocations system in the home means all colleagues work on both floors so there is no difference in the care provided only in the care needs of residents as one community is nursing and the other is dementia. We regularly have resident dependency reviews to ensure accurate staffing levels are in place. Police involvement was not wanted by the resident and her partner and as per contract we are not responsible for lost items, but we do have a safe for residents’ use. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you wish to discuss anything further. Due to yours and others valued feedback we have shared lessons learnt across the whole home which has enabled us to enhance the wonderful care we offer to all our residents.

My dad settled in well, and the staff became his family. He was suffering from dementia, but the staff were always on hand to support him and encourage him to engage in activities. We saw a positive change in him when he went to the home. Thank you for all your care and dignity in death and the support
you gave to Dad and his family. We will always hold onto that memory.

An excellent experience that involved the admission of my Dad and his unexpected death (at the age of 98) 4 days later. The team's response to the sudden change in his health was exceptional; from personalised nursing care to the calling of medical services.
I shall always be grateful for the service
Coppice Court Care Home provided that enabled my Dad to pass away comfortably and peacefully.

Mum is very well cared for - she is happy! The staff are considerate and kind. Great sense of humour and generous with their time with all residents..
Facilities are homely, each resident is able to make their rooms their own. Familiar photos and soft toys are particularly important to my mum, they
make her feel at home.

I can not thank the staff enough for all they did for my grandad during his stay. I am grateful that a staff member staff was with him in his last days, she was fantastic and showed such love and care for him.
I want to thank the entire care team but special mention to two members of staff in particular
because they show such care and treat the residents like their own family.
I'm so glad we picked this home to place my grandad and I would recommend it to other people.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Coppice Court Care Home

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. Your friend has stayed with us for respite care several times now and no concerns have been raised on any of these occasions other than her next of kin who requested support with meals, and this was dealt with immediately at the time. We have reviewed the care files and have found no cause for concern; all aspects of your friend’s care needs have been met. Additionally, the next of kin, with whom we have spoken, was very happy with the care during the resident’s time with us. Recent catering audits and internal assessments have found the home to be operating to the expected standards with no issues raised. Should you wish to discuss this further, you are welcome to liaise with the Home Manager at Coppice Court.

After looking for some time for a nursing home for my friend, I visited Coppice Court. I was shown around by the assistant manager who was extremely professional, kind and helpful.
My friend was lucky enough to be offered a room and has been at Coppice Court for 8 months. I am delighted with the care,
support and complete professionalism shown by all staff.
Despite issues with medication, the staff quickly dealt with the problem to enable a happy relocation. Thank you so much!

My husband has been at home 6-months. The staff are very caring, friendly and helpful. He is kept clean and comfortable and encouraged to feed himself. A lack of a manager is evident, and staff were often overworked because of a shortage of staff. Overall, good.

Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Coppice Court Care Home

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We are delighted to hear you are happy with the care you receive. We too are pleased a new permanent Manager started with us on 29 November; it has indeed taken some time to recruit a manager during these unprecedented times. Following a recruitment drive, we have also been able to recruit other home staff. We had a recent visit from a clinical support specialist to review our staffing levels, and we can confirm that we do have adequate staffing levels in place.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.426)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.426) out of 10 for Coppice Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 17 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 4.426 for Coppice Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (14 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.426

  • 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 Coppice Court Care Home 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, 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.
