Welcome from Copelands Manager
My name is Gill Finlay and I am the Nurse Manager here at Copelands.
My team and I are passionate about what we do and will ensure Copelands is a place where each resident is treated with dignity and respect and receives the highest standard of care.
Myself and my team are compassionate, enthusiastic and dedicated. We promote person centred care, and our residents’ wellbeing and happiness are at the forefront of everything we do. Our aim is for each resident to live as full a life as possible and I encourage their families and friends to be included in all aspects of daily life in Copelands.
Please get in touch if you would like to speak to me about how life in Copelands might look for you or your loved one.

About BCM






About the area
Situated snugly between the Irish Sea and the rolling drumlin countryside of Co. Down, Copelands enjoys an enviable position in an area steeped in history.
Copelands lies on the outskirts of Millisle, which means “meadow of the hill” and the local Ballycopeland Windmill, a late 18th century tower mill, can still be visited today. It played a vital role during the Second World War when it provided a haven for Jewish children from Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia who had been evacuated as part of the ‘Kindertransport’ between 1939 – 1948.
Donaghadee (from Irish: Domhnach Daoi, meaning “Daoi’s church”) lies on the northeast coast of the Ards Peninsula, about 18 miles east of Belfast. Best known for its lighthouse and harbour, it has been a haven for ships for centuries. The Motte dates back to 1818 and today is part of a public park, giving views across the town and seawards towards the Copeland Islands.
We are proud to be joining this rich history and we plan to work closely with a variety of local groups to establish close links with the Millisle and Donaghadee communities.
