  • 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.

On the whole, the care provided is very good. Had concerns at first that my mum was left in bed but she seems to generally in the lounge now.
When left in bed, she didn't appear to get a drink in the afternoon.

Staff are very good, sometimes there doesn't seem to be many staff on when needed. Yes they always make the resident comfortable. Sometimes there is dust in the room. Security is very good.

Very nice building/rooms/garden. Food good, office/admin good.
Excellent care when given. Frequent staff shortage led to dangerously low levels on one occasion.

My mother went into Coppice Court, Eastbourne, for my respite from 5th - 15th September. I have worked as an Intensive Care nurse but I have never experienced such dedication, warmth and professional staff as I did at Coppice Court. Please pass on my gratitude to all the staff. Thank you.

My mother-in-law is in this home due to having Alzheimers and is in end of life care.
Both myself and my wife (daughter of resident) feel that the staff are very conscientious and caring towards my mother-in-law and to us.
We feel very happy that she is in this home and are grateful to all of the
staff and thankful for their continued care and support to all of us.

During my three month stay, I have been very impressed by the intelligent standard of management. The care assistants have been the backbone of my experience here - unfailingly cheerful and kind, making a healing atmosphere - my progress has been excellent. The nurses are also friendly and I feel buoyed
up by all this good will. Food varied from very good to okay. Strict cleanliness standards. The above comments have been consistent, truly a care home throughout my stay.

My mother has been in Coppice Court since August 2015. I have found the care given to her as very kind and professional by all the staff. I live in the New Forest in Hampshire so I am not able to respond very quickly if there is a problem. Since my mum has been in Coppice Court I have built a good relationship
with all the staff and I have great respect for them, I class them as my friends as well.

The home in the last 3 years of late, had a very low turnover of staff which in my view tended to reflect a well-run home where staff were happy and this had a similar effect on the residents. This changed of late, albeit some of the long serving staff are still working here. I feel elderly residents
are happier with people they get to know and the aim should be to try and retain staff. Clearly, this is in the main, a management issue. This said, I feel that current staff work hard and the home is of a very good standard. I would recommend.

Weekdays always a happy atmosphere, often singing, a lot of smile. Staff always speak even during busy times. Weekends fewer staff, less activities, often found mother in bed at weekend.

I mostly visit my husband every other day and it is a pleasure to go into reception where I and my little dachshund are warmly welcomed. Upstairs we receive the same welcome by nurses carers and management staff. Mid morning we are offered tea or coffee and biscuits. My husband usually stays in his
room for lunch but if he wants to get up his visitors can have lunch with him. My husband falls occasionally and everything is done with alarms etc to stop this from happening. He had a day in hospital recently and a carer was sent with him and stayed all day.

My husband was admitted to Coppice Court Nursing Home on 29th February 2016 for palliative care. I cannot give enough praise to all the staff for their nursing and care of both my husband and myself. The nursing home is very clean all the staff are very friendly and really take pride in working their
individual roles. The accommodation facilities and food are all excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend this nursing home to anyone neither would our family and friends.

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.
