Review from Sarah D (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 June 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

It means a great deal to hear that you feel she is receiving person-centred care that reflects her individual needs and preferences. We understand that living with dementia can bring both good...

Overall Experience

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!)

Reply from Leah Mort, Manager at Foxhunters Care Community

Review from Sian B (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 May 2026 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother was a resident at Foxhunters for three years until her death in March2026.
The home itself is beautifully decorated and furnished with individual en-suite rooms.
Food was excellent and residents could even have a glass of wine with meals
From the very first she was well looked after with lots of activities to keep her entertained .
The staff from management,housekeeping,reception and of course the nurses and carers were excellent.
As mum's health deteriorated the home contacted mental health nurse and other professionals to assess her.
When mum had a stroke she was sent to hospital for assessment but returned to Foxhunters the following day for end of life care.
And what care she had for the last few days,the staff were amazing and so very caring.
I was so impressed by everyone.

Thank youx

Review from Linda P (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 May 2026 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Leah Mort, Manager at Foxhunters Care Community

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.

Review from Sam T (Great-Niece of Resident) published on 24 April 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Great Aunt who was suffering with dementia, was admitted to Foxhunters just before lockdown during the Covid epidemic in 2020 and was there until she passed away in January 2024. The staff were always lovely and care my Aunt received during her time there was outstanding. She always looked immaculate, even though less mobile during her last two years. She was a bit of a character and had a great rapport with a few of the staff, even having some good banter, which she loved. On her 90th Birthday the caterers made a fantastic spread and beautiful birthday cake for the family to celebrate with her. The home is kept extremely clean, I would liken it to a high end hotel, with it's lovely 'coffee shop' feel near reception and well kept garden for residents to sit out and enjoy. My Aunt's spacious, en-suite room had a lovely view of the Blorenge mountain, where she could watch hang gliders and people watch. She really enjoyed her time there.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Foxhunters.

Overall Experience

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.

Review from Grace T (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

I had to move my brother from his home in Essex at short notice. Foxhunters completed all necessary steps quickly and efficiently with a minimum of fuss.
His family are now delighted that he is in a safe and secure environment.

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.

Review from Judith R (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 October 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The atmosphere at Foxhunters is always welcoming and friendly. Staff consistently acknowledge us, as visitors, with a smile and greeting. Our mum, who has dementia, tells us she feels so lucky to be there and since she arrived all the staff - admin, reception, carers, qualified and unqualified, activities co-ordinators and housekeeping staff contribute to helping her feel very at home there.
We appreciate regular feedback on mum's physical health conditions as she is unable to give this herself. The nurse practitioner from the local surgery visits and communicates regularly with staff to monitor and review residents' health.

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.

Reply from Leah Mort, Manager at Foxhunters Care Community

Thank you so much for your kind words about our home. It is a pleasure looking after your mother and we are so happy it feels like home to her. We are also thrilled with her progress and how much she is enjoying living with us.

Review from Janice B (Sister of Resident) published on 7 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience
My Dad moved into Foxhunters a week ago. Wow, what an amazing place. It feels just like a hotel. The moment you walk through the front door you are greeted with a lovely smile from the ladies who work at the reception desk.
There is always a great atmosphere and buzz about the place.
The care the staff have given my Dad is absolutely Incredible. They know him very well already.
The home is immaculately clean throughout. The food is delicious and there's plenty of it. Ranging from breakfast. A three-course lunch, afternoon tea and a 3-course evening meal. If that wasn't enough there's even food later on at night if residents get a bit peckish!
I joined my Dad for Sunday lunch for Father's Day. We were given our own private dining room. The food was amazing and there was plenty of it.

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!

Review from Cathryn J (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 July 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.
