Foxgrove Residential Home

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!

I cannot fault this home. It is what I call home form home. Plenty of company from staff and residents, with beautiful gardens for walks.

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.

My dad has been here since last May 2018. He has enjoyed his stay. The carers are really helpful and supportive and he enjoys the activities which the activities co-ordinator organises. Country Road is one of his favourite singers. The carers are like friends.

Nothing is too much trouble and they are always smiling. All the staff go beyond what is expected. Too many staff to mention, a few ladies are amongst all the wonderful staff.

My Mother in Law (106) had been living in her own bungalow with a few carers once a day. When she collapsed and needed full-time care, Foxgrove had a perfect room available and has given her very good care since she arrived. They listen to her needs and respond kindly to her requirements. We are very happy to have found such a caring home for her.

We couldn't recommend Foxgrove highly enough and would like to let anyone who may be looking for the right care home to be reassured.

I cannot fault the care team in looking after my grandad. I believe strongly he is receiving the best care he can get.

When my mother in law moved into Foxgrove the staff could not have done more to help her and the family. Nothing is too much trouble. Foxgrove is a small home and everyone is made to feel like family. The care is second to none. I truly believe that the care at Foxgrove has benefitted and extended my mother in laws life greatly. We would not have chosen anywhere else. We would like to say a massive thank you to all staff at Foxgrove.

My mother went to Foxglove after a lengthy stay in the hospital. On admission to the home, she was two stone underweight and very frail. With the care and attention, she has received at Foxgrove, mum is now back to her usual weight. Mum has other complex needs, all of which are attended to professionally and with care. All the staff at Foxgrove are dedicated to their resident's wellbeing. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and nothing is "too much trouble" for the staff.

The staff care for my Nan brilliantly. They take the time to talk to her and have helped her to recover from several spells in hospital.

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.

Helpful, friendly staff.

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.

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.

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.

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.
