Review from P P (Wife of Resident) published on 17 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband is in the care of your staff for respite care. He is finding it difficult to adjust, but the staff have been very patient and kind to help him settle. The first floor could be made a bit 'brighter' - maybe more colourful paint, bedding, and curtains would help, but all businesses succeed
with good staff. I understand the home now has a new manager, and I wish her well, and I hope the staff give her their support. Thank you to the staff looking after Tony, not an easy time for either of us parted after 63yrs together!

Review from Caroline J (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 June 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We has an excellent experience with Rachel. She took the time to understand Dad's needs and gave information and honest advice.
The staff are caring and compassionate, and Dad immediately settled after 4 difficult weeks in hospital.
Any queries we raised were addressed quickly. We could not have
asked for Dad's sudden transition to residential care to have gone any more successfully.

My father was looked after beautifully for 9 months in Foxby Hill. He was happy and safe - looked after in a clean and friendly environment, which is also homely. Staff are knowledgeable and compassionate regardless of their role at the home. I highly recommend this care home.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.515)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.515) out of 10 for Foxby Hill Care Home Ltd is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 5 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 4.483 for Foxby Hill Care Home Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (33 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 60 Ratings = 4.483
  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 4.032 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Foxby Hill Care Home Ltd is based on 5 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5
    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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 9.4 = 0.532
  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.
