About New Copford Place Residential Care Home
New Copford Place Residential Care Home in Colchester provides residential care for older people, including many residents living with dementia. We are a home rather than an institution, and we try to keep daily life here comfortable, familiar and unhurried. People get up when they are ready and spend their time as they wish, whether that is in company in the lounge, out in the garden, or quietly in their own room. Meals are cooked on the premises and we will gladly make something different for anyone who fancies it. Help with washing and dressing is given calmly, because dignity is largely a matter of pace and manner. Dementia care asks for patience rather than correction. When a resident is anxious, or looking for a person or place from an earlier part of their life, we respond to the feeling instead of arguing with the facts, and we work out what will genuinely settle them. Knowing a person's history is central to that, so we gather it early from the people who know them best. Families are welcome throughout the day, and we would much rather hear about a worry early than late. We also offer respite stays for shorter periods. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
