Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our friend was living alone in his apartment and finding it increasingly difficult to manage. It was decided that he really needed to find a Care Home suitable for his needs. He is highly intelligent and always been independent but circumstances change as older age takes over. We went with him to visit
a few care homes locally but most seemed to cater for Ladies playing Bingo. When we went to Foxholes it was a totally different experience. A very welcoming Reception and atmosphere, a very family feel . All the staff were smiling and obviously very happy with their working environment. We couldn't recommend Foxholes highly enough and we enjoy going to visit him there.are

Choosing a Care Home for our Dad has been one of the biggest decisions we have ever made as a family.
Care Homes don't always have the best image but the moment we walked through the doors of Foxholes we were blown away.
The building and grounds are beautiful with the most stunning countryside views,
happy staff and smiling residents. Frothy coffees being served in the orangery and an ice cream machine for the residents to help themselves to throughout the day!
Unprompted, visiting family members praised Foxholes and reassured us we were making a decision we wouldn't regret.
Activities at least twice a day.. a movie night, 'pub night', weekly gentlemen's lunch (restaurant quality food) as well as family events which have been fabulous!
Most importantly Dad is treated as an individual and the whole team have gone above and beyond to maintain his identity and make him feel at home. A VERY special place.. Mum would have been proud of our choice because Dad was her world..

My mother came to Foxholes in November 2022, she adapted well to the home as all the staff were so welcoming. The home provides a wonderful homes for its residents , not only the furnishings , the beautiful setting with luxury gardens but from the management , the carers , the chefs, the housekeeping
staff , the activities team , they all care about the residents and that's very evident.
They also care very much about the families and we have experienced this first hand going above and beyond .I would thoroughly recommend this home to anyone .

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been at Sloe Hill for the past 10 months. The care she receives there is excellent. The home is small and friendly and has a real family feel to it. The atmosphere is peacful and the home itself is in beautiful surroundings with a large garden.
The carers are really attentive and cater
for needs perfectly. My mother is really happy there and tells me how good the carers are (she would let me know very quickly if they weren't!) which brings great peace of mind that she is being looked after 24/7.
On the whole, Sloe Hill has been the perfect choice for my mother's care.

Following an initial visit, Mum knew instantly that Sloe Hill was where she wanted to be. The professional and friendly team have made her very welcome and Mum is very content in her new home. There is always a friendly welcome when we visit too.
Many activities are organised to which residents are
encouraged to attend, as they are able and if they wish to. The food is all freshly prepared and cooked with personal dietary requirements carefully taken into account. The care is personal and attentive, nothing is too much trouble and if she needs anything, she only has to ask. It is comforting to know that Mum is happy, content, being well looked after and in very safe hands.
Sloe Hill is a clean, comfortable and friendly home, run by a happy, caring and professional team.

As mum was my last remaining relative and I currently live in Australia, it was a pleasure visiting my dying mother whilst she was at Foxholes. It was a three month journey and although it was difficult for my mother who was a very independent and strong willed woman, she was always treated with respect
and dignity by the staff. As mum did not want to pass away in hospital, it was up to Foxholes to provide end of care and I am very happy with all the staff's efforts and attention to my mother. It was very reassuring to know that there would always be someone there for mum 24/7.

Mum didn't want to go into a care home, but Foxholes was different. Unlike a corporation Foxholes is a family owned, family run home so mum was able to furnish and personalise her room. It looked much like her front lounge. We were also able to come and go as if visiting her at home, as were her many
friends. The staff were lovely, patient and professional. Mum was assigned a key worker, but all the carers popped in to say hello. She was never alone. She had a lovely room overlooking the landscaped garden. Activities were laid on both morning and afternoon. Some, like Irish dancing, or bringing an owl in, seemed to be done especially for mum. Towards the end, mum was cared for exceptionally well. She was warm, comfortable and pain free with regular checks by the GP. And when we needed to be there by her bedside, we were made welcome and looked after too. It made mum's passing more bearable, as were the messages of support and condolences from the staff, carers, residents and owners.

My mum was very reluctant to leave her own home, but when she saw Foxholes with its spacious and pristine facilities and the beautiful grounds, she was happy to take up residence there. The warmth and compassion shown by all staff was outstanding, and I always felt my mum was in extremely safe hands.
When any (very minor) issue arose, it was dealt with promptly and taken seriously, thus ensuring that my mum felt that she had a voice and was among people who cared.
The very full programme of activities, catering to every taste, was impressive, and helped create the positive atmosphere that is immediately noticeable on entering the building. In her final days my mum needed full nursing care, and I will always be grateful for the way that she - and my husband and I - were supported at this difficult time. Staff were professional and immensely kind. I fully recommend Foxholes; if I can spend my twilight years in somewhere anything like as good as this, I will consider myself blessed!

My sister was in a care home that was closing down. She had been in this care home for 11 years and it was in a different part of the country. The change was a big upheaval for her. The staff at Sloe Hill are very kind and made sure that my sister felt comfortable straight away and eased the settling-in
period. Nearly a year later my sister is contented and the experienced staff know how to cater to her individual needs. Sloe Hill is quiet which is perfect for someone who just needs a secure peaceful environment. I am very happy with the care my sister is receiving.

My experience with Foxholes is very good. My father-in-law for the past 18 months has been looked after in a very caring, attentive and supportive manner. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for the staff. The home is very well run by a close family who are always around and are very approachable to
answer any questions.
The home is kept very clean throughout and is freshly decorated regularly. The food always looks delicious and is served and presented nicely. Although my father-in-law cannot get involved in all of the full program of activities the ones that he can enjoy are the many involving live music. All in all, we are very pleased with his care and can highly recommend Foxholes.

My dear dad has been in Foxholes care for over a year. He is a true gentleman aged 94 with specific needs. I feel most grateful that he has the best of care in his final years. The Foxholes team treat him with kindness and respect, fine-tuning his needs in a gentle and happy manner. When you walk into
Foxholes you could easily be walking into the reception of a five-star hotel. A beautiful place and set in beautiful grounds with views of the countryside. The home is run by a close-knit family who are constantly around to offer their support. There is always a smile to be shared. There is a weekly program of ever-changing activities. Mealtimes are exceptional with freshly prepared choices, accompanied by a glass of wine if preferred. Families are welcome to join for mealtimes too. Birthdays are celebrated with a homemade cake and a party atmosphere. Calendar events are also given the very best of celebrations. "A big thank you" to the Foxholes team you are an outstanding care home!

My mother has been a resident at Foxholes Care Home for the past five years. It was her decision to sell her home and move into Foxholes as her sight, hearing and mobility deteriorated. Having been independent the adjustment to living in a community where all her needs were met was not easy. The staff
understood this and treated her with understanding and compassion. The rooms and facilities inside and out are excellent and most importantly the staff are very capable and kind. The meals and snacks are appetising and presented in an attractive fashion. It is like living in a five-star hotel. There are daily activities and although mother cannot always take part the staff includes her and she is not left alone in her room. Now at 100 years old, she is happy and content. What more could the family ask?

My mother lived at Foxholes from November 2019 until July 2024, whilst she was bravely battling dementia. She was treated with respect, kindness and patience by all the staff during that time, for which I am truly grateful. She was gently encouraged to join in activities and particularly enjoyed ones
involving music. There were also regular events for the family to attend with her, which were well organised and most enjoyable. During her final few days many of the staff popped in to see her. The care she received during that time, and the kindness, compassion and support we, as a family, were shown really was second to none. I can't thank the staff enough. I will never forget their kindness. They deserve the highest recommendation.

My Mum has been at Foxholes for a few years now, with advancing dementia. She is content to stay in her peaceful, bright room overlooking trees, horse paddocks and the beautiful new gardens. She cannot speak now, but all the staff are so kind and considerate with her, anticipating and checking on her
needs, treating her with dignity, and making sure she is comfortable.


I have always been very happy with the care she receives at Foxholes - the management team are always visible, the home has a lovely family atmosphere, and I am always kept aware of any health concerns about my mother. They have wonderful staff and I see them treating residents with kindness and compassion. I am so grateful for the excellent care they give to my Mum.

It is very early days for my dad at Foxholes who has been diagnosed with vascular dementia. My first impressions at the home have been entirely positive. The staff have been consistently friendly and professional. Communication with the care home has been good which has been so important for our family.
It has been wonderful to see photos of dad enjoying several activities and interacting with others. The home is immaculate and has a wonderful, relaxed family feel to it. Dad's room has a spectacular view and is spacious, light and well-furnished. The grounds, layout and facilities are of a very high standard and it is wonderful to see dad being incredibly well cared for.
