Thank you Foxholes for your love and Care!

Usha & her team made a difficult path so much easier to navigate & we can't thank them enough. Everyone is kind, respectful & attentive & the quality of care & professionalism is very high. Staff are approachable & communication with residents & families is very good. The Housekeeping team are miracle workers with cleanliness and laundry & the home & rooms have a 'homely' feel. The quality of meals and beverages is also very high & staff are readily available to assist if needed. There are varied, stimulating activities which run 7 days a week and relatives are always welcomed to join in. Overall the home offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere and mum has settled in really well and is very happy and we can't thank the team enough for all their support.

My mother was fiercely independent until recently and at 98 years old her sight finally failed her and she was unable to manage things just because she couldn't see. I took time to find the right care home and Foxholes was an excellent choice. I was made welcome from my initial enquiry through to Mum moving in. It has taken a while for her to get used to things and find her way around but the staff have been extremely welcoming and very helpful, she doesn't want for anything. She is now starting to settle and get involved in those activities she can participate in. Her room is beautiful with a lovely view of the gardens, though she cannot see well she is aware of the sun shining through the window in the morning. The setting of the home is beautiful, in rolling countryside, landscaped gardens and fountains. The food is amazing and if she doesn't like what is on the menu the chef will always prepare something else. All staff go above and beyond to help. I would thoroughly recommend.

We attended the Christmas party organised by the Events team and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Dad was guided to his seat by one of the team and enjoyed a cup of tea whilst Cara sang many festive classics. The buffet was delicious and there was a nice selection of sweet and savoury items. Thank you so much for a very festive afternoon.

Thank you so much Foxhloes you are a unique organisation.

I had 2 weeks of respite care after back surgery. There were plenty of activities, but I was unable to join any physical ones. The garden allowed gentle walking, my only 'permitted' activity. My meals were custom prepared due to an intolerance of fat/oil ingredients. An excellent fireworks display took place on 5/11/25 to my delight, as I presumed I would miss out this year.

My mother 104 was so well looked after in beautiful surroundings, lovely room and by the excellent care staff. Like a home from home she was really happy there. They helped to give her a new quality and lease of life.

The weekly activity programme is both varied and fun, including daily exercise, quiz's and musical entertainment. Foxholes always celebrate special anniversary occasions such as Christmas and Bonfire Night with great style. and the outside gardens are superb. Every member of the team always make me feel like part of the family when i visit my mother, who has happily lived at Foxholes for the past 3 years.

Overall the best decision mum has made at this point in her life.

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

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..

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 .

The care that was given to my mum was first class, she loved it there, then when she got put on end of life the care she got from every member of staff was just amazing not only to my mum but to us family they showed us so much care and compassion, we would highly recommend Foxholes Care home

Sloe Hill is a clean, comfortable and friendly home, run by a happy, caring and professional team.

On the whole, Sloe Hill has been the perfect choice for my mother's care.

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.

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.
