Description:
The Koppers
The Koppers is a CQC-registered family-run residential care home specialising in the care of people with dementia. It is set in one of the most beautiful villages in East Devon. At The Koppers we are committed to providing quality care while maintaining respect for and the dignity of each individual resident. We create a warm and homely environment that is safe and secure. Each resident has their own care plan which is carefully tailored to meet their individual needs and continuously evolves as those needs change. We are also trained (and in the process of accreditation) in the gold standards framework for end of life care, which ensures that the physical and emotional needs of those approaching the end of their lives are understood and met so that they experience complete clam, peace, and comfort.
The home caters for the needs of people with all levels of memory care/dementia, from all backgrounds and ethnicities. The home works closely with:
- local general practitioners
- district nurses
- tissue viability nurses
- falls-prevention nurses
- community psychiatric nurses
We have regular visits from:
- dentists
- opticians
- audiologists
- occupational therapists
- physiotherapists
We also have in-house:
- chiropodist/podiatrist
- hair dresser services
- aromatherapy
- hand massage
- music therapy
- animal therapy
Accommodation – Within our home, residents are encouraged to personalise their rooms to their own taste, and so they can be surrounded by their personal possessions.
At The Koppers we provide a comfortable home from home environment for our residents. We have a total of 20 bedrooms (15 single and 5 companion rooms), 14 of which have ensuite facilities. Some rooms are also fitted with a shower/wetroom. All rooms have provision for a television and are fitted with a pressure sensor nurse-call system. Communal areas include a spacious day activity area, dining area, a relaxation/quiet lounge and a conservatory. Externally the home has a large well-maintained garden and spacious patio that residents can enjoy in warmer weather.
Dining
The Koppers prides itself on the quality of its meals. We strongly believe that having a healthy, well-balanced diet is essential for our residents. Meals are therefore offered from a varied menu using the best produce from local suppliers wherever possible. We cater for different diets based on medical and/or religious reasons or according to personal preferences. We also provide special diets for residents with allergies. All our meals are cooked fresh daily in our own kitchen and snacks are readily available.
