Review of
Christ the King Footherley Hall
from Jackie S (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My parents moved into Footherley in May 2022. My father was not ready to move into a care home at the time but we were viewing for my mother, with a view to him joining her when he was ready. After being shown around he said we should ask for a double room and they moved in shortly afterwards. They

settled in easily. Food has always been important to them and they were delighted by the quality and choice of the menus on offer.
Footherley is a wonderful care home. The staff are all kind, respectful, patient, understanding - always going the extra mile to make sure that my parents are happy.
The home is spotlessly clean and always smells pleasant.
There are lots of activities available to residents and I love the fact that I can make us a cup of tea when I arrive, just as I would in their own home.
My mother has recently passed away and Footherley have been amazing in supporting us all. All of the staff treat us as family - we are so grateful for everything they have done for us.

Reply from Alba Calvo, Communication Officer at Christ the King Footherley Hall

Overall Experience

My Mother has been a resident here for 2 months, initially for 3 respite stays and following review today has become a permanent resident. This is because we have been very impressed with the high standard of care and kindness shown to her throughout the stay, from all the staff at all levels/ areas

of care.
We have been very happy to entrust the staff with looking after our Mother and feel they got to know her very quickly, attending to her needs with much care and compassion, and ensuring all her needs are met.

Reply from Alba Calvo, Communication Officer at Christ the King Footherley Hall

Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words about Footherley Hall. We are truly honoured that you have entrusted us with the care of your beloved mother. It brings us great joy to know that her transition from respite care to becoming a permanent resident has been a positive experience for both her and your family. Our dedicated team strives to create a compassionate and homely environment for all our residents, and it's heartening to hear that this has been reflected in the care your mother has received. We deeply value the relationships we build with our residents and their families, and your feedback reassures us that we are achieving the level of personal, attentive care we aspire to provide. Thank you once again for your trust and support.

Overall Experience

Mum arrived at Footherley Hall straight from hospital after a fall. Since arriving the care she has received is just beyond wonderful. From the very first bubble bath I have been so impressed with how they have nurtured Mum.
The staff go beyond what I expected. All the staff exude professionalism

and a top class work ethos, the atmosphere is always fabulous.
Looking forward to enjoying the beautiful gardens with Mum in the Spring. Mum is so contented and for that I am extremely grateful.

Christ the King Footherley Hall
from Catherine K (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

At New Year, we had an immediate need for short term respite care for my 92 year old father due to a terrible flu that affected his chest and mobility, resulting in a couple of falls. The team at Christ the King Footherly Hall were welcoming, understanding and provided immediate help in our situation,

for which we were very grateful. Our priority was our dad's safety 24/7, his recovery, and a period of respite care to rebuild his strength so he could return home if he was well enough. His room was well appointed and had stunning countryside views, the home was well equipped and set in beautiful rural grounds, and the team were friendly, knowledgable and kind. Dad was given a very warm welcome and looked after beautifully, with attentive medical care on hand to support his recovery. A big thank you to one staff member in particular and the team for all you have done for us and for Dad in our time of need. We are very grateful. And although he very much wanted to return home, he found actually saying goodbye quite emotional!

Reply from Alba Calvo, Communication Officer at Christ the King Footherley Hall

Thank you for your kind words. We're so glad we could support your father during his recovery and provide the care and comfort he needed. It means a lot to hear that our team made a difference, and we'll be sure to pass on your appreciation. Best wishes, Sisters Hospitallers CIO

from Caroline C (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum has been a resident for almost 12 months now, in that time whilst her mental condition has sadly declined, physically she is so much better. Her terrible anxiety and depression has also reduced. The kindness and love shown by everyone at Christ the King Footherley Hall has made her feel settled

and happy, which therefore has also made me feel relaxed and happy. All the staff take an interest in her, as they appear to do with all the residents, she is always wearing clean clothes and her bedroom is kept spotlessly clean. There is a very caring atmosphere at Footherley which becomes apparent as soon as you walk through the door. There are some lovely activities, and in the summer when the weather was good their lunch was sometimes served in the garden which mum loved. I looked around many care homes before picking Footherley it is an overwhelming task! I cannot thank everyone at Footherley enough for giving me peace of mind whilst navigating the horror that is dementia.

from Nick P (Son of Resident) published on 22 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum moved into Footherley in early February after leaving her home of 62 years. There was obviously an initial settling-in period, but after just a fortnight we noticed a marked difference in her contentment. We have been so impressed with the management who take a great deal of care in listening to

Mum and her family. The welcome from the friendly receptionists to the care shown by the carers, sisters and all members of the team is exemplary. She is enjoying her food and the company of the carers and residents. They are working hard on controlling her medication. Her room is perfect for her and the lounge and her favourite conservatory, where she enjoys reading her paper, are more than comfortable. I have witnessed a broad range of activities in the lounge which obviously are enjoyed by the residents. I have also noted the valued work of the friends of Footherley. Her settling into Footherley has given our family a real peace of mind.

Overall Experience

My aunt came out of the hospital and had major mobility issues. She went from living independently to ending up in a hospital bed in the lounge. I contacted Footherly and she was assessed and offered a room. My aunt is now up and dressed and has her make-up on and her hair done and has a good quality

of life and is much happier. She has amazing care and I cannot recommend Footherly enough.

Overall Experience

My mother has now resided at this home for just over 10 years. On her 10th Anniversary, they made a real fuss of her and threw a big celebration. When she went into the home, she was struggling with recovery from a severe stroke, but has defied all odds and has gained in health and vitality. That is

down to the tremendous care she has received at the home. It is well organised with excellent carers who treat each resident as though they are their own relative. And the setting is exceptional, with beautifully laid out grounds which the residents get to enjoy when weather permits. Can't speak highly enough of Footherley and would recommend it to anyone.

Reply from Alba Calvo, Communication Officer at Christ the King Footherley Hall

Thank you very much, Paul, for your kind words. That our centre has been your mother's home for ten years is an honour for us. She has become one of the most beloved members of our Hospitaller family!

Overall Experience

My mum entered Footherley Hall last July. It did not take long for my mum to relax and enjoy life there. The whole team are fantastic, everyone is involved in caring for the residents.
The home is so friendly and homely, it is set in beautiful grounds and there is a lovely chapel where my mum attends

Mass. When we go to see Mum she is so bright and happy, she has engaged with all of the activities quizzes, bingo and concerts she has even won a game or two of dominoes which we didn't know she could play.
My mum has never had a better social life. She has made friends in the home which is so lovely to see.
She has just spent her first Christmas at Footherley Hall and she had a fantastic time, there were; carol concerts, parties and a pantomime.
Whenever I visit Mum the staff are so friendly, and they have made the effort to get to know us as a family which means a lot.
I am very grateful to all of the team at Footherley Hall, you are all fabulous.

Overall Experience

I have been extremely happy with Footherley with their due care and attention. In a stressful time, they accommodated my friend at very short notice and they were exemplary in making sure everything was taken care of at the outset. Since then I have seen all members of staff act respectfully and caring

not only with my friend but everyone else in the care home. It is a pleasure to visit there and if any queries or questions they are only too happy to help and make you feel very valued and welcome to the care home.

Overall Experience

I cannot recommend Footherley Hall highly enough. Everyone working there is friendly and kind and they have made sure my mother felt welcome and safe.
Moving into care was a big change for her aged 98. She soon realised that everyone there will happily go that extra mile to help her. She is eating

well now and has put back some of the weight she lost in hospital. She often says the soup is 'to die for' and that the meals are well presented.
We feel happy knowing that she is looked after so well.

Overall Experience

My mother went into Footherley Hall for respite and is so happy she is now staying full time. The management team and all the staff are fantastic, so helpful and kind. The home itself is lovely, the grounds are beautiful, there is a chapel where my mum can go for mass. The residents have a lovely dining

room where they eat together, there is always social activities happening, quizzes, bingo, singing.
The care they get is fantastic, the staff support the residents' every need and always go the extra mile for them. Whenever I visit Mum the staff are always smiling and so friendly. I am so happy that I know my mum is safe and enjoying herself at 93! Footherley has given my mother a new lease of life. Thank you everyone at Footherley, you're all wonderful.

Overall Experience

Christ the King Footherley Hall really offers personalised care. Leaders and managers set the tone for all the people who work there, and everyone has a huge professional pride in the quality of care which is offered. They are patient, kind and dedicated, and readily empathise with the residents' needs.

The presence of the nuns adds an additional benefit, bringing a sense of tranquility and calm.

Overall Experience

I can not recommend Footherley Hall highly enough. My Dad was at end of life when both he and my Mum moved into a double room at Footherley in May 2021. Dad was only there for two weeks before he died but the carers were just lovely. They made both Mum and Dad (and me) feel very welcome, well cared

for, safe and secure but also they were treated with the utmost empathy, dignity and respect. After Dad died, they have been so lovely with Mum. Patient and understanding, yet encouraging but letting her settle at her own pace. I just love Footherley Hall and all its staff, from the management through to the carers, the cleaners, the maintenance people, admin, the reception, laundry and gardeners. I have never come across anyone who shows any level of irritation. But for me, the icing on the super lovely cake is the nuns. I’m not religious, but the nuns are a wonderful and integral part of Footherley bringing an extra dollop of tranquility and love.

My mum has been in Footherley Hall since May and we are very happy with the excellent care she is receiving. She is well looked after by caring, thoughtful staff and there is a lovely sense of family.
It is a hard, stressful time for a family when you realise a parent is declining and needs to move

into residential care, but Footherley has made the transition smooth and easy for my mum and for us. She is very settled there and most importantly, happy.
