Review from R R (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 December 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Everyone I come into contact with is always without fail kind and helpful. Mum's room is always clean and tidy. The food is varied wholesome and cooked well. I have complete trust in Foxgrove and never worry about mum. Their care is brilliant and I know they will ring me if I am needed. In my opinion,
Foxgrove feels like a 'family' home. This has been created by all the staff, all staff roles, from management, care staff, kitchen staff, cleaners, and maintenance.

Review from Jacqueline G (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 November 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident for nearly 5 years. Despite the national shortage of carers and inevitably high turnover of staff, the home manages to maintain a strong core of sincere, carers. All staff from the kitchen to the carers, activities to the handyman, and the domestics all carry out their
duties with the utmost care and respect. Answering the telephone at busy times can be a problem, and I think the laundry, and care of residents clothes needs a little more attention at times. Apart from that, we are very satisfied with the care and attention of the team.
Reply from Leanne Greeves, Home Manager at Foxgrove Residential Home

Thank you for your lovely review. We endeavour to constantly improve our service, we now have a designated laundry person 7 days a week. We are hoping this will iron out any of the issues kindly brought to our attention.

Very caring staff. The building is older and very cosy. Food is excellent. The entertainment is wonderful and there is always something going on. Laundry Services could be improved. All residents needs catered for.

Most of the staff are friendly and approachable and all of them provide a good level of care. An answerphone or call diversion facility would be useful for family and friends when telephone calls are not answered.

We really cannot express how truly thankful we are for the outstanding care received by mum. You went above and beyond to ensure she had the best quality of life and we will be forever grateful. You made us feel welcome and were responsible to our suggestions. You were professional and so caring. You
showed mum such kindness and respect. When things got tough you were always on hand to make me a cuppa and reassured us. We couldn't have asked for more. Thank you.

Review from Kate M (Niece of Resident) published on 9 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt was a resident from July 2022 (following a bad fall at her own home) until she died in December 2023 (aged 94). The care she received from the dedicated and friendly team could not have been better. Staff were fun, kind, patient and genuinely interested in my aunt’s life (which had been pretty
full!). They were also very welcoming to visitors. I was particularly impressed by the care in her final week when the staff were so incredibly gentle, kind and respectful. It was obvious they were very fond of her and she them.
Reply from Leanne Greeves, Home Manager at Foxgrove Residential Home

Thank you for your lovely review. The staff and residents at Foxgrove were all very fond of your aunt, she was a pleasure to care for. The staff have excellent palliative care skills, it's always nice for those skills to be recognised.

Review from David J (Son of Resident) published on 10 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Foxgrove Residential Home sums up what a care home should be. My Mum spent the last 6 months of her life there. Foxgrove's staff treat their residents like family and genuinely care. My mum was so happy there and within 24 hours of living there said it felt like home. There are always activities for
the residents to do if they want to, great food and beautiful surroundings. As my mum's health deteriorated and she approached her end of life, she was treated with genuine care and dignity until the end.


We cannot rate Foxgrove highly enough.

Review from Jackie P (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 June 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved into Foxgrove in September 2023 at the age of 99, finally admitting that she needed more help than was available to her in her own home. She quickly settled in and was soon joining in with the Scrabble, carpet bowls and exercise classes. She was even encouraged to start playing chess,
not bad for a now-centenarian. She appreciated being cooked for and had nothing but good to say about the caring staff. When she sadly passed away in May, my family and I knew that she was in the right place, and we were treated with compassion and understanding by those same staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I could not praise the care and staff at Foxgrove enough. From the minute my mother-in-law arrived, they have gone out of their way to really get to know her, her likes, dislikes, interests and family, which really held her to settle into her new home. They are exceptionally kind and go above and beyond
what is expected of them and keep us fully informed of her progress. I would have no hesitation in recommending Foxgrovve to anyone and could, in fact, not think of a nice place to call home.

My daughter's father-in-law passed away at Foxgrove Residential Home and the standard of care and support he was given was outstanding. His needs were always met and the team were so brilliant! I am still in touch with the team as my daughter's father-in-law was there for many years. All I can say is
a lovely home, lovely place, lovely team and ever so caring.

Thank you for looking after my husband in these past very stressful and unpresidented time. It has been extremely difficult for all these concerned in caring and providing care for our loved ones, I can only hope we can look to the future for better times ahead. My husband has been with you now for
three and a half years now. It's been a very long time and extremely difficult also for those like myself on the outside coping on my own and of course with the fee situation. My best wishes and thanks to the staff and management at Foxgrove - well done!

Staff shortages have caused problems, but overall, efforts during the various lockdown have been of a high standard, particularly in reassuring and explaining the news. Cleaning has been particularly good with all staff pulling their weight. They keep us safe.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.508)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.508) out of 10 for Foxgrove Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.708 for Foxgrove Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.708
  2. 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Foxgrove Residential Home is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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 = 3.8
    2. 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 24 registered maximum number of service users is 4.8, which has been reached with 8 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
