Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The welcome you receive from staff at Foxby Court is second to none. Your always greeted with a smile and a friendly hello. My aunt lived at Foxby Court for 17 months and I can say I never worried about her needs being met. She was well cared for every day. Activities that are organised on week days
are interesting and stimulating, just a pity that they don't continue throughout the weekend too. I'm not going to hesitate if we need care for an elderly relative in the future. Foxby Court gives the best.

I reside in Canada and it is so comforting to know my mum is well taken care of at Foxby Court Care Home. The staff go above and beyond to keep me updated and are extremely caring and friendly. My mum is comfortable and happy there and for that I'm very grateful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my Aunt needed long care, checked put several places in the Gainsborough area. Foxby Court was the first choice and has not disappointed. The staff are friendly and seem to go out of their way to help. My aunt has been a resident for 6 months now and despite increasing mental and physical frailty
has not been so mobile and healthy for many years. That is entirely down to the care of Foxby Court.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.557)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.557) out of 10 for Foxby Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.557 for Foxby Court is calculated as follows: ( (81 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 140 Ratings = 4.557
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Foxby Court is based on 12 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 12 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.

Sara Bland

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2019

Sara, the Home Manager at Foxby Court, has been in the role since August 2023 but has been with the Trust for just under 5 years.


“I worked in other care homes for over 11 years as a Carer, then onto a Senior Carer. I worked 4 years on nights before I came back on days as a Care Supervisor. I then worked for 2 years as Deputy Manager. I had some time out before I became the Night Deputy in other care homes for 4 months, and 1 year as a Senior before I took the post at Foxby Court as a Senior Carer. After 4 months with OSJCT, I took the Head of Care role, which I have done for over 4 years before becoming the Home Manager.”


“I enjoy working in the care sector and enjoy helping people in the best way possible. Delivery of care is paramount, and I enjoy helping with the different care needs through the different stages of life. Being the Home Manager at Foxby Court, I am now on a new journey within my career.”


“Outside of work, I am married, and I have a son who still lives at home. My husband and I enjoy walking and seeing friends and going to new places. We are keen National Trust members.”


Sara's compassion shows both in her commitment to the residents and her long history of working in care, we're truly fortunate to have her leading the way.
