I would just like to say that I have found the general care here very good. However, the care given by one staff member has been excellent - encouraging my mum to have a shower/strip wash and therefore making her feel better, taking the time to explain to her what is going on and why. The other person who also needs praise is the person in charge of entertainment - great commitment.

My mother has been at Fosse House for a few months now and seems content. The social spaces are homely and personalised with photos and mementoes for the residents. I feel comfortable that my mother is being looked after well and is secure. As a visitor, I particularly like the cafe as a facility. The way my mother has settled in reassures me that Fosse House is the right choice for us as a family.
You are very kind to send us this review, we are extremely proud of our team at Fosse house and hearing these words you have written assures us. You mother is an amazing woman and we treasure our time with her, if we can support in any other way please let us know. Have a lovely day.
I have always had friendly and helpful treatment in reception and from care staff. I am a military pensioner and aware of good services from many years in service mess accommodation, initially in many countries where there was a British presence. I enjoy every visit to the person who is quite aged.

The care my mum has had from everyone at Fosse House has been exceptional. I am kept up to date at all times of her progress and the care she is receiving. I am so pleased that her time here has been happy and comfortable.

The wonderful staff at Fosse House Care Home came to my family's rescue at a dark moment when we were at a cross point with caring for my mother's dementia. She had fallen in hospital, we had to find a home for her. Fosse House sorted all the immediate problems, settling Mum in within four...

it was my first Christmas, I was led to believe that it was going to be all jolly and fun with a proper dinner, with all the trimmings. In our dining room it was just me and one other, I thought the residents would be together but no, we had a cracker, no decorations. Back to the food, I could...
ps. the new jug and glass is ridiculous, why? That must have cost a lot for all of us, waste of money.

Good day and thank you for the review, we are really sorry that your experience over the holiday season was not as festive as it could have been. Over the December period, we experienced many changes in care home regulations from the Government and some of these may have affected visiting and residents and staff proximity to each other. We are really sorry, please allow us an opportunity to make this right, speak with a member of the team anytime. Have a lovely day!
My wife has been a resident at Fosse House for nearly three years now. Her dementia has slowly progressed and she is now confined to her bed. During this time the staff at Fosse House have cared for her with compassion and tenderness, making sure she is always as comfortable as possible. Her...
During the periods of Covid lockdown, I believe the home was kept secure and safe while still allowing carefully controlled access for residents' visitors whenever possible.

Good day and thank you very much for the review. Your mother is an amazing woman and the team here at Fosse House are content knowing the family appreciate the level of care and respect we provide to all of our wonderful residents.

When I visit my mum she is always happy and relaxed cheerfully with the staff. Her room is clean, clothes are in order; these things are important to me as I feel she's happy. The staff are always obliging and cheerful. Mum always looks well. I have no fear of her feeling alone as they incorporate her in a lot of activities and outings. Before mum would be stubborn and a little recluse, the home have pulled her out of her shell. Mum also says she has many friends there which makes me happy too.
Good day and thank you for your amazing review of our home. We try our best every day to make every resident feel like they are home away from home and your warm sentiments are greatly appreciated. It tells us we are doing something correct and that makes us happy. Have a lovely day!

The varied needs of residents are well catered for. The staff and management are personable and attentive to the changing care need of their residents and happy to answer any family, friends or visitor queries.

Good day and thank you very much for the lovely review on our home. We are extremely proud of our team and they would be appreciative when they hear your review, which will be read at our next staff meeting. Have a lovely day!
My great aunt is a resident at Fosse House and has been for the last couple of years. When visits were allowed, every time we went to visit her she would always seem happy and in high spirits, the staff would always do their best to make sure this happened. Staff were and still are always...
If we did have any concerns or comments to make about my aunts care, staff would always ensure that these comments or concerns were handled properly. Overall the quality of care at Fosse House is excellent, with staff being compassionate and responsive to my great aunt's needs and have made her extremely happy and comfortable, I know she is safe there.
We can't thank the team at Fosse House enough for the love, care, and attention they give to our mum. They always go above and beyond going that extra mile.

Thank you for your wonderful review. It has been a privilege to be able to care for all of our residents and we are grateful for your ongoing support.
Knowing my mum is safe and well looked after is a huge relief to me and my family. She is happy and every time I visit she says over and over, “it’s alright here , I like everyone and get on alright with them.“ the carers are very friendly and nothing is too much for them to do to make my mum...
Knowing my mum is safe and well looked after is a huge relief to me and my family. She is happy and every time I visit she says over and over, “it’s alright here , I like everyone and get on alright with them.“ the carers are very friendly and nothing is too much for them to do to make my mum comfortable. Her room is comfortable and if they suspect my mums not feeling right , they call the doctor out, and contact us about what the doctor has said. It was the best thing we did was to find her a place in Fosse house.

One of Quantum Cares' Values is “Our residents are at the heart of all we do” and your comments reflect this perfectly.

It is great to have peace of mind when a parent has dementia and I definitely have this. I know my mum is safe and well looked after by people with a great understanding of this awful disease.

Nothing has been too much trouble. They even got a guinea pig to help her settle in (she has been missing hers) All the staff are caring and supportive and mum is comfortable and relaxed with them.

Thank you for this wonderful feedback. Placing a loved one in a care home is never an easy decision with so many things to consider at the outset.It’s therefore, good to see how the thoughtful gestures shown by the Home Manager and her staff, when welcoming your mother into the home, have helped to provide you and your family with assurance and confidence regarding this decision. We hope your mother will continue to enjoy life at Fosse House for many years to come and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
All the staff and carers at Fosse House have been fantastic in caring for my dad, and mum too, as she spends most of the day with him. It has been taken for granted that mum would be allowed to take her meals with dad, as this is seen as part of his care. This attitude exemplifies the approach of...
The environment of Fosse House is particularly homely, with authentic touches everywhere. The displays of photos of residents really make it feel like their home. The events are varied and imaginative, and take the residents out of themselves. Mum and dad have both enjoyed a number of different types of activity, with one highlight being the trip to the seaside in the summer. More recently, mum and dad were taken to a Watford football match.
Thank you for this wonderful feedback. We are fortunate to have such wonderful staff and management at Fosse House who always go the extra mile to make a huge difference to the lives of their residents and your feedback reflects this. We hope your father, with your mother’s continued support, will enjoy many more exciting trips out at this home.

I have gained my teaching qualification, which allows me to teach the following in-house: Manual Handling, Dementia, Medication, Health and Safety, Fire Safety, Emergency Aid, Mental Capacity, Deprivation of Liberty, Safeguarding of Vulnerable Adults and Food Safety & Nutrition.

My biggest passion in life is being able to give someone the best quality care, teaching and supporting my team to do the same. I have been in the care industry for many years, and my passion is as strong as it was when I was 17.

Keeping the team of Housekeepers running as it should is the Housekeeping Manager. Supervising and organising their teams is just part of it, as these Managers work alongside them to keep the home clean and inviting. The comfort of residents is the most important thing to our Housekeeping Managers, which is why they work so hard to create an environment in which residents can’t help but feel at home. Multi-tasking and communication skills are some of the most important of the Housekeeping Manager’s qualities as they and their team create a home where residents’ dignity is never compromised, and independence is always encouraged. Our Housekeeping Managers ensure that all areas of our home are safe, clean, well-maintained and presented in a way to create a warm and homely environment. They have an important role in maintaining our infection prevention and control standards to make sure our residents stay well.
