Foxgrove Residential Home

Mum was at Foxgrove for a very short time. I only wish she could have been there a few years before. Everybody was very caring, friendly and responsive to Mum's needs. Such a pity that the time she got there she couldn't make the most of all the facilities and activities.

Gran was only at Foxgrove for 2 and a half weeks but in that short time, the manager and her team made a huge difference. Foxgrove has a welcoming, homely feel with happy, genuine staff.

They were understanding and reassuring at a worrying and stressful time. Most importantly to us, gran got excellent care when she needed it.

I have lived in Foxgrove Residential Home for a few months now, with their help my condition has improved a lot. The staff are great and some have even gone out of their way to help me, I am in a wheelchair at present and they have tried to make me walk again. I can do a few steps but it becomes so painful, so hopefully, a powerchair will be next. As I write this, the residents ate in the garden with the sun shining down on us and a guy playing the sax. This happens every so often (just been given a teacake and an orange juice) entertainment like this I like. The only problem I have is getting on the internet but they are working on that too.

I am really pleased with the care I am receiving at this care home. I describe it as a home from home and nicely informal. Food is excellent home cooking which I appreciate. The garden is particularly attractive. To sit on the verandah in the summer months is an added bonus. I made the decision to move into a home myself and have not regretted it.

My aunt seems very happy and contented with staying here. The carers are very helpful and caring. The food and drink seem very good. Nice to see homemade. The cleanliness is very good. All in all, a very nice home.

Helpful, friendly staff.

Mum passed away at Foxgrove in January 2017, we cannot thank all the lovely nurses enough for all the care mum received in her two years spent with you. Mum in our view received the highest quality of care, staff always showed empathy, respect and dignity at all times.
Mum had Dementia, Parkinson's, along with other complications with stays in hospital, Foxgrove continued to give the highest quality of care, until mum passed in January 2017.
When the funeral director received mum from Foxgrove into their care, the funeral director told us how well-presented mum was, as I have worked in the care industry for many years, I highly congratulate the staff at Foxgrove for their professionalism, dedication, support and end of life care.
We highly recommend Foxgrove Residential Home.

My room for the first two weeks was excellent. Having to extend my stay for respite and moved to another room where the en-suite was very small. The staff mainly very caring and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.

This is a belated review but wanted to thank Foxgrove for again being very accommodating. We wanted to take my Mum out for Sunday lunch and a trip to the cinema as part of her birthday celebrations. This was a real worry for us transporting a wheelchair bound person but the home came to the rescue and arranged for us to use their minibus to get to the venue. All went perfectly to plan and the person taking and returning us was fantastic (Mum is a particular fan of his as she really enjoys the trips out he arranged). Thank you very much.

My mum lived at Foxgrove for five and a half years and throughout it the staff at Foxgrove were brilliant to her. She thoroughly enjoyed living there. The home has always been clean, welcoming and has a 'homely' feel.
In September 2016 my mum passed away. She had been in hospital twice just before hand, but looked forward to returning to Foxgrove. She was warmly welcomed back by the staff. In her final days there, I visited daily, but whilst I wasn't there, the staff attended to her needs. She passed away peacefully in the place she loved.

I find the staff very helpful and the care for my Mum is very good.

In my experience, our friend seems to have settled in very well. The place is very clean and the staff are very friendly.

After admission to hospital, mum was diagnosed with Parkinson's and Lewy Bodies Dementia (hallucinations). Foxgrove was found very quickly (10 days) and we were delighted as we live in Felixstowe and I have been caring for her 24/7 for over 3 years, as I moved her in with me when she became unable to cope.
Foxgrove was a 'home from home', small, friendly, wonderful staff set in beautiful gardens. Becuase mum is still quite mobile (with a stick) it soon became apparent that this was not safe for her as she wanders and was not secure, also steps etc to unsecured areas. Also because of her condition, she doesn't sleep well at night and although room etc is alarmed, to two-night staff aren't enough to deal with her needs and the 3 day-time staff only.
Notice has now been given and after only 4 weeks, another more suitable home for her needs to be found. It does state that they cater for Parkinsons and Dementia, so disappointed but understand completely.

In the six years, my mum has been at Foxgrove she has had excellent care. She is happy here, well fed and kept clean and tidy as her ability to look after herself has decreased. The staff are very kind and caring. There is always things going on to keep the residents entertained and interested. Overall a lovely home with a beautiful garden.

My mother was rapidly approaching her 80th birthday, we as a family wanted to make it a memorable time for her but wanted to include her friends at Foxgrove. We asked if we could do an afternoon tea on the grounds and management and staff were keen to assist. The chef laid on the food and I supplied the cake. The staff did a great job with the cups of tea and everyone had a great time and all kept it as a surprise for mum! Thanks Foxgrove, you did us proud!

Very good friendly caring service. Would definitely use again. Good homemade and excellent quality. Very homely feel. Particularly well managed. I feel confident to place my mother there again if she so wishes.

My Dad has never been happier, very caring, reliable and cheerful staff.

Any concerns about my fathers well-being are always quickly reported.

A doctor quickly visits my Dad if there are any concerns for his health and Foxgrove take him to all his hospital appointments

Special dairy free meals are always made for my Dad which he enjoys

Mother moved into Foxgrove 6 years ago due to ageing health. The cooks go out of their way to meet my mothers diet needs. The home is small and the staff are kind and friendly, seeing to my mothers needs.
There is a full programme of activities. Mother enjoys still doing her knitting. The home also has its own in house transport for out and about activities and those appointments which take the worry out of getting your family member to them. If you're looking for a residential care home close to town, seafront them I recommend a viewing.

Foxgrove Residential Home is very good. I have lived here over 2 years, I love all the staff and the support they give me.

I have lived here for over 4 years and I am happy with everything that's available and everything we get to do as we are always doing something, activity wise.

Our friend moved to Foxgrove from his home in September 2015, settling in well and enjoying the company and the staff. His comments were 'he felt safe'. Sadly with failing health he deteriorated. The staff and management have done an amazing job with him, encouraging him to eat and drink. He received every assistance to remain as
comfortable and able bodied where possible. The carers have such compassion and kindness. His room overlooked the garden, it had the essential equipment. Nothing was too much trouble, sorting out hearing aids, clinics etc. We are glad he chose Foxgrove he couldn't have done better!
