About New Copford Place

Category: Respite care

New Copford Place is a purpose-built residential care home also providing short-term respite care, staffed by a committed and enthusiastic team. Based in the beautiful Essex village of Copford near Colchester.

Respite care for the elderly is designed to provide a temporary haven for older people in order to give their carer a much-needed break. It also gives the person receiving care a chance to socialise in our home, meet and make new friends, enjoy some fresh experiences, and just benefit from being cared for by a compassionate team in a warm environment.

New Copford Place provides flexible living arrangements for our residents. With light, airy private 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 take the same approach for both long term and short term residents. We start by 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 everyone’s needs are met and that New Copford Place feels like home.

Respite care during Covid- Get Two Weeks FREE

Due to the current legislation, our newest respite care residents will have to self-isolate for the first 2 weeks of their stay, only being able to integrate with the other residents after that.

With this in mind, we are currently offering 2 weeks of respite care at no extra cost, when you book 2 weeks of respite care from any of our care homes. Meaning that people staying with us for respite care can experience every aspect of living in our care homes, and enjoy all the activities and facilities our homes have to offer.

If you or your loved one only wanted to stay for a portion of the extra free weeks, that’s fine too.
