About Copperdown Residential Care Home

Copperdown Residential Care Home brings a sense of warmth and familiarity to its corner of Staffordshire, offering families a place where they can feel genuinely supported in one of life's most important decisions. The team here understands how much it means to find the right home for someone you love, and that commitment to thoughtful, personalised care runs through everything they do. Staffordshire itself is a welcoming part of the country, and Copperdown reflects that spirit in the way it approaches day-to-day life for its residents.

Copperdown provides residential care for up to 29 people in one adapted building. At inspection, 25 people were using the service. People receive their medicines safely, though audit systems in place cannot sufficiently identify the numbers of medicines in stock.

Staff lack guidance on escalation processes when people's recommended fluid intake is not met. People told inspectors they felt safe in the home, and relatives gave positive feedback on the care their loved ones received.
