Foxgrove is situated in two acres of tree-lined grounds with beautiful gardens, and is set in the centre of Old Felixstowe. The property is an attractive Victorian mansion that has easy access to all local amenities, including a post office and general store. Walks can be taken to the town centre and nearby cliffs.
Foxgrove has a friendly warm atmosphere and the elegant lounge and dining room combine to create a charming environment for residents. The generous bedrooms are all en-suite and decorated to a high standard. All rooms have a television and telephone point. Whilst they are all fully furnished residents are encouraged to bring their own items of furniture and personal effects so that their room can become truly their own.
Care staff are trained to the highest standards and chosen not only for their skills but also for their warmth, friendliness and caring attitude. Staff are available constantly to provide professional care that respects the rights and dignity of the individual.
Residents are assessed regularly to ascertain their needs are met fully. Appointments can be made with a visiting optician, dentist, hairdresser and chiropodist. Catering staff provide snacks throughout the day and delicious meals. Special diets can of course be catered for.
The home has a dedicated Activities Co-ordinator who can arrange for residents to take part in as many, or as few, activities as they wish.
Family and friends are always welcome at Foxgrove. Professionals value their involvement in residents' care. Above all, they promote individual choice in a caring environment that is free from stress or worry.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

I’m proud to lead a team that creates a warm, safe and welcoming home. Our staff are local, we work closely together and always go the extra mile for our residents. I’m passionate about supporting people to live their best lives — listening to their individual needs and giving them choice in what they do and how they live each day. I’ve worked in care for many years, hold my Level 5 in Adult Residential Care and Registered Manager’s Award, and I’m currently studying towards my Level 7.

I decided to work at Healthcare Homes as I had been working in domiciliary care locally and wished to continue in care, without the travelling. I applied for a care assistant role at Maynell House, and due to my previous experience in admin, I’d been offered the admin post at both Foxgrove and Maynell! My favourite part of working in a residential home is working with so many different people, residents, family members, staff, and healthcare professionals. Every day is different, and that’s my favourite part.
