We have been wowed by Copperfield since the first contact with the manager. She was so helpful at what was becoming a stressful time. All the staff are so kind and caring from the chefs, laundry, maintenance man, front of house and of course the carers. The facility is a home from home and more like
a hotel than a care home making it a lovely atmosphere, not only for the residents but also their visitors. They also take the residents out, my Mother in law has been to the local shops and the seaside all in one week! Highly recommend it, you won't be disappointed.

Reply from Eve Balcombe, Registered Home Manager at Copperfield Court

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review of the services at Copperfield Court. The whole team is thrilled to know we have 'wowed' you and provided support during a stressful time. We strive to promote emotional, mental, and physical well-being to our residents, and part of that is encouraging community inclusion, and keeping people active on outings. We will continue to care for Mum and provide the highest levels of care we can. Thank you.

Our Mum has only been in Copperfield Court for 12 days and moved there following a spell in hospital and a proactive Assessment Unit. She decided that at 91 it was time for her to be looked after and her reaction on entering the house was "I can't believe it, this is just like a hotel.". She is very
happy and the staff are so friendly and can't do enough for the residents. Being a brand new build the facilities are exceptional as you would expect. That said Mum has settled in very well and her care is a comfort to us all. The staff team makes us all very welcome and are exceptional with everything they do for residents and visitors.

This is an amazing care home the staff are so friendly and welcoming. The care there is second to none my friend is being so well looked after. I would highly recommend this care home.
The home itself is very clean and feels more like a hotel. The food on offer is delicious and family and friends can
join the residents for lunch or a meal. The activities for residents are great and residents are made to feel welcome to all activities on offer.
Residents are able to go on visits or to the local shops if they wish to however the home has a shop where residents can purchase items at no cost to them such as snacks, toiletries, etc.
A hairdresser is available for those residents wishing to have their hair done, there is even a hairdressing room.
It's an amazing place where everyone is treated with care and dignity.

The home is like walking into a hotel. All the staff are warm and welcoming. The residents are treated like normal human beings and are very well-stimulated. I have already noticed a big difference in my friend as she is experiencing a lovely quality of life here. They even welcome the guests with a
freshly baked cake. Over the last few months, I viewed lots of potential homes and this is the only one I would highly recommend to loved ones looking for full-time care.

Overall good but down to his disability my husband had difficulty using chairs and toilets because they were too low. I would suggest you have a stock of chair raisers and raised toilet seats for taller residents who find the current ones difficult.

Reply from Becky Crichton, Copperfield Court at Copperfield Court

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to hear that your overall experience was positive. We apologise for the difficulty your husband faced with the chairs and toilets. We are looking into having a stock of chair raisers and raised toilet seats to better accommodate taller residents and those with similar needs. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will use it to improve our services. Thank you for choosing our care home for your husband's respite care.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.938)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.938) out of 10 for Copperfield Court 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.938 for Copperfield Court is calculated as follows: ( (301 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 321 Ratings = 4.938

  • 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 Copperfield Court is based on 27 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 27 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.
