About New Copford Place

Category: Residential care

Set in the picturesque Essex village of Copford, near Colchester, New Copford Place is a purpose-built residential care home, staffed by a committed and enthusiastic team.

With light, airy rooms and comfortable communal areas including three lounges and a spacious dining room, you can decide whether you prefer to socialise or relax in your own space.

We specialise in residential care and part of our approach is understanding the individual needs of each resident. That’s why we create a personalised care plan for each person, so that our dedicated team can ensure your needs are met and that New Copford Place feels like home.

At New Copford Place, we can also offer respite care. Please contact us if you’d like more information.

  • Our dedicated activities coordinator ensures we have an active social calendar, including movie nights, exercise groups, trips out and family days in the garden.

  • Enjoy a range of nutritious meals, all freshly prepared by our on-site catering staff.

Daniel Sabau, Manager

“I have worked in the Care Sector since 2012. After beginning my career in care, I quickly realised that I was making a positive change in the lives of those people I looked after, which is so rewarding and something no other job was – and still is – able to provide.

I have been with Friends of the Elderly for nearly three years, becoming the Care Home Manager at New Copford Place in August 2020. I have a great team and we work closely together to ensure each resident is supported, inspired and receives the highest level of bespoke care which is tailored to their individual needs.

Our wide and varied activities programme is created through listening to our residents’ preferences, likes, hobbies and interests as making a positive difference to all our residents’ lives is at the heart of all we do, every day. All the Team gets involved and I’ve even been known to join in with the singing and dancing sessions.

The best thing about being the Care Home Manager at New Copford Place is seeing our residents smiling, as it makes me feel that I have, in some small way, contributed a little bit to that smile.”
