Foxearth Lodge Nursing Home

Very happy with Foxearth Lodge. When both my parents became ill they made it possible for them to be in a double room together just like being at home. The service was so good my father used to think he was on holiday! After he passed last year they have taken such good care of my mum and they continue to do so, she loves the staff there and seems very happy. It is such a weight off my shoulders knowing how well she is being cared for and how happy she is.

My grandmother has been at Foxearth Lodge Nursing Home since December 2020. She is very well cared for, the staff are always helpful and kind. Her different dietary requirements are always met. She enjoys the wide range of activities on offer. We as a family can't thank everyone enough.

After visiting Mum in Foxearth Care Home, I was overwhelmed how good and loving the carers all are, treating Mum with dignity and love. Nothing was too much trouble. I am living in Germany and came over to visit Mum for a few days and now feel a lot better after visiting Foxearth Care Home (Woodlands). Thank you.

I could not have picked a better facility for my husband to stay in. Many thanks to all the staff who take care of him.

Care from the staff is excellent, could not ask for more caring and loving staff. Brilliant activities. However, after reporting things to repair it did take quite a long time to be done.

Staff always very friendly and provide an excellent level of care for my mother. I am always updated by phone if there are any problems regarding Mother and we always feel that she is being looked after. Overall I would review the home as excellent, the two comments of good regarding facilities are based on the fact that Mother does not participate in activities (through choice) so I can't comment. I do feel the food could be improved and the frayed napkins replaced.

The staff always try their best even when they are very busy and pleasant and have smiles on their faces. The food is nearly always served on time and hot when that is required and nicely cooked. The two housekeepers have been very helpful to me. They seem to be able to deal with anything that comes their way.

I arrived at Foxearth Lodge Nursing Home on 15/01/24 for a 4-week visit. Not knowing what to think about the nursing home, it was really a very pleasant surprise. The building containing the nursing home was in every detail marvellously suitable. The experience of my stay in the home was very and entirely comfortable. The routine of the stay was made up by excellent meals from a very happy kitchen staff. The staff of the home were always welcoming and entirely friendly. The service provided was excellent.

I was so worried about my mum moving into a home - but I shouldn’t have been. Mum is very happy, safe and well looked after by an amazing team of people.

My stepfather came to Foxearth at very short notice, but was immediately made welcome by everyone. From day 1, staff and management have gone out of their way to see to his needs and make him part of their family. Now, after two months, he is enjoying life and taking an active part in daily activities. We, as visitors, are made to feel very welcome and are happy to know he is in such good, safe hands.

An outstanding care home. Very well run, caring staff and an extensive range of activities every week. Foxearth has been able to provide a wonderful home for both my mother and father, each of whom has very different care needs. The setting is wonderful, with beautiful gardens. My father says the food is excellent. I cannot recommend the home enough!

I could not think of a better care home for my mother, my brother and I are very lucky that she is so well cared for. Amazing staff, all of them make everyone feel so at home. Lovely room, even have my mother doing activities which she enjoys. Food is very good. Lovely warm room and my mother seems very happy, I cannot say enough good things, 10 out of 10. The Christmas decorations are amazing and so well done.

When we heard my wife was being moved to Foxearth Lodge from another care home we were concerned about the distance from her former home in Bungay. However, despite the many car journeys over eighteen months, we were delighted at the way she responded to the care and attention provided in Woodbridge. She got to know her carers very well and, whilst still able, spoke of her days with you very warmly. Her final end was handled very sympathetically. At her funeral last week, a most moving experience, Foxearth Lodge was spoken of most highly.

My sister-in-law entered Foxearth in 2016, and her husband entered in 2019. During the years they were both in Foxearth, the care and attention have always been to the highest standard.

Today, we had a lovely visit to see Dad. I always feel sad when I visit, as all residents have lost so much, their autonomy, skills, memories and hobbies. I feel unsure what to say now Dad has so little language and understanding of our previous shared interests. Today, Dad was sleepy and struggling to support himself, slumped forward in his armchair, unable to understand he could lean back. Members of staff took time to explain he was extra dozy from his monthly cancer injection. We spent some private time in the courtyard, with its gorgeous smelling roses, wind chimes, and vegetable patch, then had afternoon tea and cake sitting round a kitchen table like old times. Dad was still dozy and struggled to get comfortable, so two members of staff helped him to bed, while others chatted with us about how he has been lately. Throughout our visit, everyone was so helpful to us, and kind and caring towards Dad. I left feeling much happier, and feeling he is in the best possible place.

Moving a loved one into a nursing home is tough but looking back, we will remember our experience at Foxearth with smiles, grateful thanks and much respect for all the staff.

We are always very impressed with Foxearth Lodge. Everyone who lives here is well looked after. There is always a happy atmosphere. The staff here provide good activities to stimulate people here. Loung looks good after redecoration and new wing armchairs. There are pleasant gardens. The food menus look good.

Since restrictions have been lifted the activities are full on with a lot of variety and something for everybody. Since we have a relatively new manager the contact with relatives of residents has improved enormously, and we can feel isolated sometimes. It's good to have the occasional meeting and air views. My main gripe is the standard of the rooms and home generally. Tired furnishings which need updating. But in my view, the most important thing is care.

My aunt has had wonderful care at Foxearth Lodge. The love and care that she received from all of the staff have been so reassuring. It was always a pleasure to visit her and listen to her tell me what delicious meals she had eaten and which staff were looking after her today. The staff always made time to have a little chat with her each day. A care home with a lovely family feel about it, always made welcome, and we enjoyed talking to the polite, kind staff.

I had a choice of two super homes for my father, who had been in the hospital for ten weeks and was very close to dying and extremely weak. He has been at Foxearth now for seven months, going from strength to strength. He is liking his routine and care, is comfortable and no longer talks about wanting to die as he did when living alone. Although Dad is quiet, he's satisfied with watching television and eating simple diabetic meals of his choice. The staff are extremely kind and helpful.
