My mother was in Frank Foster House for many years and received great care. The staff are excellent and committed to caring for the residents. They are hardworking and always ready to assist. They were fabulous with keeping me updated on my mother’s progress, appointments and dealings with other professionals.
The home is very clean, nicely decorated and free from hazards.
It has been an amazing journey with my mother in the home and being provided with the care she needed at such a high standard.
The manager of the home is warm, empathetic and available to listen to suggestions and works with you to ensure that the resident is happy, safe and well cared for.

We have very fond memories of Mum, especially her dancing.

Our mum was here for six months. The manager and her team were absolutely lovely, very approachable, if ever we were worried about anything they always tried to sort it out for us. The home always smelt fresh and was kept very clean. All of the staff were very caring with my mum and although she wanted
to still be in her own home, she was very fond of so many of them. Mum was a proud woman and would never have let anyone see her while she was getting washed but she needed help with that every day and her main carer, a very special young man, washed her, we could not believe Mum was so at ease with him. There were so many there that were lovely to our mum, often staying after their shifts had finished to look after her. Another carer, I will always thank you for looking after Mum like you did on her last day alive, even though we didn’t know that.
To the manager and your wonderful team, thank you, every single one of you who looked after our mum.

My wife has been a resident at Frank Foster House necessitated by advancing dementia since August 2023. She has received exemplary care for her physical, emotional and medical needs. Visitors are welcomed at any time. A particular facility is the café where my wife can entertain informally visitors
and family. The home is staffed by imaginative carers who exude confidence and friendship on every occasion. It appears that the home gives careful essential attention to the smallest details throughout, exhibited not least by the well-kept garden, the first thing seen by any visitor.

I highly recommend Frank Foster House, the professional, caring, smiling staff provide the residents with respect and dignity they deserve.
Frank Foster house is very clean, well maintained, and has a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
My mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s four years ago, we fought long
and hard to look after her ourselves as we didn’t want her to be in a cold and clinical care home environment. Frank Foster House is anything but cold and clinical, it truly is “the best of the best” with exceptional daily activities and weekly outings.
We feel very lucky that my mum will have an amazing time in her latter years at Frank Foster House.

As a family, we unfortunately had to make the very hard decision for my dad to go into a care home, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s four years ago but now needed professional care. This was a very upsetting time for all of us but the manager at Frank Foster House Care Home and her amazing team made
this transition for my dad far less stressful and put us all at ease. The home, itself, is wonderful with lovely bedrooms, a restaurant, cafe, lounges, activity rooms, hairdressers, chiropodist, gardens and courtyard. The whole team are just fabulous and it’s very obvious they are passionate in their roles. My dad has settled in so well, taking part in daily activities, even having a dance! He’s made new friends and been on some brilliant trips out. I cannot praise everyone at the home enough for all they do for my dad and am so very grateful for their care and compassion. Thank you.

I would like to highlight to anyone seeking the perfect care home for their loved one, that their first consideration be Frank Foster House. It has an outstanding level of care, coupled with compassion and understanding, especially for those with Alzheimer’s/Dementia. They have an excellent daily programme
of stimulating activities, which are often enjoyed sat in the beautiful garden. Regular trips out, gives the residents the feel-good factor and keep them in touch with the life they previously enjoyed, before needing to be cared for. The well-respected Manager has a carefully selected and hardworking team. It is evident to all they are happy in their roles and delivering a high standard of care is their priority. My mum is so happy here now, after transferring from another home. Thank you Frank Foster House for keeping her safe, but more importantly making each day something for her to smile about again.

We would like to commend the excellent care provided by Frank Foster House to our much-loved mother, who sadly passed away on 26 January 2023. She was a resident at Frank Foster House from May 2021.
Right from the start we were pleased to see Mum take part in the daily activities and begin to make
close friendships with other residents. Above all, we were pleased with the quality of care from the care assistants and team leaders, and the close attention from the manager and deputy.
In particular, we would like to highlight the quite outstanding care and attention which Mum received in the last 4 months of her life. She was deemed to be in need of End of Life Care, and the close liaison with the primary care team and district nursing services together with the love and affection shown by the staff meant that Mum's needs were met every inch of the way as her physical and mental health deteriorated. Mum herself recognised her excellent care and frequently thanked the staff.

Reply from Cheryl Wright, Home Manager at Frank Foster House

Thank you for taking the time to give us your kind feedback. We work hard to provide outstanding care and take our relationships with the residents quite seriously. We're happy to hear that you're happy with the care your mother received. I will pass your kind words on to the wider team.

The home manager and all her staff there have been absolutely amazing caring and looking after my mum right up until

My Mum has been at Frank Foster House for almost 2 years, she moved in during the pandemic and I really appreciate the support the management and staff gave to us all to help her to settle in as she has dementia, during lockdown the home enabled window/pod visits, telephone and videophone contact. Amazing
in such difficult times. I can now visit freely, she has a lovely room with access to a garden and we go out when she's happy too. I am kept fully informed of her health and whenever she has had a 'worry' the home work with us to quickly resolve. Staff are always so kind and caring, we feel very satisfied she is receiving excellent care.

The home is scrupulously

She has a lovely room with lots of attention. Hair Dresser, manicures

We even are able to take Mum over the Green at Theydon to The Queen Victoria Pub most Sundays for Lunch. The food in the home is great Mum is pleased with the level of quality and afternoon teas with cakes are a nice touch.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.781)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.781) out of 10 for Frank Foster House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 48 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.781 for Frank Foster House is calculated as follows: ( (469 Excellents x 5) + (65 Goods x 4) + (23 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 561 Ratings = 4.781

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Frank Foster House is based on 47 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 47 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

My name is Carlos, and I am the Deputy Manager at Frank Foster House.


Before moving into social care, I worked as a fireman and paramedic in Portugal. I also have over 10 years of experience in the hospitality industry, including working in luxury hotels, which gave me a strong foundation in customer care and service. For the past 9 years, I have been dedicated to the social care sector, supporting residents and leading teams to deliver high-quality care.


In my role, I am proud to be both a Veteran Champion and an Infection Control Champion, helping to ensure best practice and specialist support for our residents and staff.


Outside of work, I am passionate about horse riding and travelling, which give me energy, balance, and inspiration.
