The new manager, appointed at the end of 2025, has also brought a positive 'can-do' approach and a strong focus on the wellbeing of both residents and staff, who are clearly happier and more motivated. I'm so grateful my mother is in such a joyful and supportive home.

Mum moved in 1st October following visits to other care homes. She was happy with the decision. There was an initial problem with a resident who was wandering into rooms. We spole to the senior care manager - difficult conversation but he was moved the next day. Mum is now begining to settle in. Interior, environment and garden are very good for her, room is managed effectively and staff are kind and responsive. The cafe and activity programme are poactive and put on a good range of activities and Mum is enjoying this now. She is now forming friendships with other residents and relatives. A well managed home - feels homely and responsive - great gardens, lovely interior and an activity team who care.
Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased to hear that your mum is settling in well and enjoying the environment, garden and activity programme. It's wonderful that she's beginning to form friendships too. We really appreciate your kind words about the home and our team.

Our mum has been a resident at Fosse House since December 2024. At what was a very difficult time for her and the family, was made so much easier, by the kindness and compassion of all the staff and management there. Nothing was too much trouble, everyone had time for mum and us, no matter how busy they were.
We especially love hearing the laughter and seeing the happy faces of the residents and carers who always seemed to be around. At what can be a very trying time for families, it was such a relief to find a place that treated the residents and families with respect and in such a caring way. We found the facilities and food to be first-class and varied, mum enjoys it all. We would happily recommend Fosse House to any family who find themselves on this difficult journey. Our fondest love and thanks to all at Fosse House.
We're thrilled to hear your positive experience at Fosse House. Creating a nurturing and supportive environment where residents can feel valued and respected is our ultimate goal.
The receptionists are always bubbly, happy and welcoming, majority of the staff are excellent. The buildings and grounds are well-maintained, there are accessible gardens for warm days which are pleasant and inviting. It differs from day to day from the smell which can be off-putting. I noticed...
The receptionists are always bubbly, happy and welcoming, majority of the staff are excellent. The buildings and grounds are well-maintained, there are accessible gardens for warm days which are pleasant and inviting. It differs from day to day from the smell which can be off-putting. I noticed from the pictures, which are on social media, my brother does not seem to be included in activities. Surprisingly and shocking is the letdown of these prepared meals, they are inedible or not cooked thoroughly, disappointing.

The treatment of residents is of the highest order. My needs are fully met, especially the care and effort by management to cater for my social and dietary requirements (I am Asian). The management have ensured that I get Asian meals, Asian church visits and even Asian musical sessions. Generally, I feel very secure and at home at this care home. Evening activities are ok, but somewhat limited, although board games are supplied.
Thank you for your comment. We are delighted to have you stay with us here at Fosse House. Wishing you a wonderful day!
My father has been very well cared for during what has been a difficult transition from independent living to residential care. During this period his physical health has improved due to a greater level of activity within the home. The care team look after him well.

Moving from an independent lifestyle to being in residential care is not the easiest thing for everyone. We are happy to hear our support has helped your father and the family with this move. If we can ever support you better, let us know. Have a lovely day!

My wife had stayed several times in Fosse House, both for convalescence and to allow me respite from home care. Experience of the care and activities provided for my wife during these short periods of residence left me and our two sons in doubt that my wife should become a resident in September 2019. She has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and was therefore admitted as requiring dementia care. She consistently received appropriate care and stimulation up to her death on 21/12/22.

Fosse House is a very welcoming care home. The staff are very friendly. Residents are well taken care of. All their dietary needs are met. They get regular drinks and medication, and if they need any health support, a doctor will be contacted. They communicate well with relatives and are always obliging. The hygiene levels in the home are good, and residents are kept clean and tidy.
Throughout the last few very difficult months as my mother gradually faded away all the care team staff and managers have been thoughtful and sensitive in dealing with her last moments. Also looking after my father (also a resident at Fosse). Ensuring he was given all he needed support wise to deal...

Fosse House is such a lively place, where residents can feel at home! It's bright and spacious with an in-house cafe. Quite honestly I don't know what I would do without it! Mum loves the coffee there and the music and decorations make them all feel happy and relaxed. We often have a sing-along all together. The activities are brilliant. The staff work so hard at keeping them occupied. My mum loves playing oomph! plus exciting things are being planned. Mum is very settled there, for her it's home. We are very happy to know she is in this caring environment.
Thank you very much for taking the time to review our wonderful Fosse House, we are really proud of this home. and the staff are very thankful for your kind comments. Have a lovely day!
