Foxhunters Care Community

Mam has been at Foxhunter for just over 5 years. She suffers with dementia and can get good and bad days. The carers are always aware and switched on with her needs, if she needs a lie in they will make sure when she's ready she gets her breakfast and shower, care is definitely relative to the person not a blanket approach which is really important. Mam is always clean, moisturised and smelling lovely. She's always dressed in one of her pretty dresses and has a cwtchy blanket as she feels the cold. She is always involved in various entertainment if she is in the mood to attend. Mam on the whole has a good appetite and always enjoys the meals and puddings, there is always a fresh drink nearby. All in all from the cooks, cleaners, carers, nurses and laundry, entertainment and receptions staff when I leave after a visit I know she's in very safe hands.

My father has just spent 2 weeks respite care at Foxhunter Care Home in Abergavenny. The standard of care was amazing, the staff were incredible and the food was outstanding. All the staff were friendly, kind and fun. My father has come out of the home with improved mobility and a smile on his face. We can't thank everyone at the Foxhunter enough. They looked after my father so well and to the rest of the family, they were welcoming and understanding of our concerns about my father after his lengthy stay in hospital. Thank you again to the entire team at the Foxhunter especially Stuart (a fellow northern!)

Thank youx

My father became a resident at Foxhunters in June 2025 after a fall at home and a cancer diagnosis of 6 months to live. From day 1, he received excellent care and was happy and settled. Even after another fall and hip fracture in October, the nurses and carers were so attentive and kind. He was always clean and dressed. Dad's last days were made so much better and less painful thanks to the staff. My sisters and I wish Dad had gone into Foxhunters much earlier.

Based on my mother's experience at Foxhunters my biggest regret is that I didn't move her elsewhere sooner. If you are looking for peace of mind for your loved one I would spend your/their money elsewhere.

I was made to feel extremely welcome.The staff were genuinely caring, nothing was too much trouble always willing to go the extra mile if needed. Interesting activities every day. An in house excellent hairdresser. Entertainment sessions enjoyable.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Foxhunters.

The staff can't do enough for you. Very helpful, room beautiful, clean, giving my sister good quality life.

My mother has been living at Foxhunters for about 18 months now and I have to say that the care she has received has been first class. She is happy and content and they properly manage every aspect of her day-to-day living and care. I would not hesitate in recommending Foxhunters to anyone. The home is clean and well run and the staff are absolutely fantastic and brilliantly trained. The food is excellent, particularly the specially arranged buffets and birthday or other special occasion lunches.

The care and concern at Foxhunters for all residents is outstanding. My mum is so much more settled now and loves everyone! Despite her mixed dementia, she tells me every day how lovely the staff are and how clean it it and she has lovely food! Mum now thinks of this as home, which is the most reassuring thing for our family as moving her to Foxhunters from Pembrokeshire was a huge decision and rather challenging A quote from mum recently: "Every night they knock on my door to check if I'm safe in bed and if I need anything- they are wonderful!" December has been challenging for Foxhunters with the storm stopping the Christmas fayre and then Influenza A requiring lockdown to keep residents safe - but everything the staff do is in the best interests of residents. They made a huge effort to support well residents still to have fun at this festive time. We were immensely grateful to be able to take mum out to be with family on Christmas Day and the welcome on her return was so special.

My mum and dad have been in the care home since September 2022. My dad died in August this year. The staff were all very kind and helpful. They were always patient with him even though he was quite demanding. My experience there has always been good.

Many thanks to all the staff.

Both my parents are in Foxhunters. In May 2024 my mother was hospitalised for 3 weeks. Without hesitation, the staff at Foxhunters volunteered to take my father to visit her when she was transferred to the local hospital. Over and above what they needed to do.

There is a full programme of varied activities daily for residents to participate in, although our mum generally chooses not to. She appreciates the garden - the peaceful setting and wonderful views from there of the Blorenge as she likes to have a little walk whenever she can. Having moved here in March this year, we are very reassured that mum is so content.

My mother has lived at Foxhunters Care Community for two years. Everyone has been incredibly supportive and kind over this time. The level of care shown always goes over and above. There is a positive energy here which can be felt as soon as you step through the door.

My reviews are fully supported by myself and my family, my brother was a resident at Foxhunters Care Home from December 2022 until December 2023 when he unfortunately passed away. We as a family paid visits to the home several times a week during which we became fully aware of the care shown throughout his time at the home, we also witnessed first-hand the very high standards the staff dealt with some health issues my brother had during his stay. What wonderful caring staff are employed in the home, always professional and friendly towards my brother and other residents. We came to know the staff and residents on our visits and never heard any detrimental remarks about the standards of care. Before arranging for a position for my brother to be accepted in the home we visited numerous other care homes but after making a visit to Foxhunters there was only one place we wished for him to go and our decision was never questioned by our family. Thank you for caring for my brother.

I would highly recommend Foxhunters to anyone.

I chose the home for my auntie and first impressions are very important to me. Upon first inspection, everything felt right, looked right, staff were very friendly, attentive to residents and plenty of staff - good ratio to residents. Lovely surroundings and décor, plenty of activities going on and my auntie had good privacy when required. An excellent choice, well recommended. Thank you!

My father passed away last year and mum spiralled downhill quickly. We brought her up to Abergavenny from Lancashire so she was close to us. Eventually, we chose the Foxhunters. They made the move very easy and she was encouraged to bring her favourite items (including furniture) to help her settle in. Mum has never been a joiner but now loves the activities organised, especially the garden. She now eats well although is blaming the laundry for shrinking her clothes as opposed to her now being a healthy weight again.

The staff are very caring and know all the residents by name. When mum has been unwell they have acted quickly, rung me and arranged for her GP to visit. Despite the upheaval of having to leave the family home of 60 years she is now happy and settled.

The staff are caring and friendly which has helped my mother's transition from her home immeasurably. The home is always spotless and there seems to be much to entertain the residents. As a family, we are delighted that mum is living there
