I visited my friend for the first time and was so impressed with Foxhunters. It's like a 5-star hotel! The staff were all so friendly and the food was outstanding. There was also so much going on and I was even invited to join in an art class. I had the most wonderful lunch and offered a glass of wine.
I would have no hesitation in moving in here at all.

Lovely place. Bright and modern with good communal areas. Welcoming to the family who visit and a real sense of care and community. Rooms and ensuite facilities are great. Would recommend clothes hanger rail to be lower for shorter residents to be able to use easily.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am so impressed by the staff here at Foxhunters. They are professional, competent and so friendly. They never talk down to residents or show fatigue. This leads to a happy atmosphere and you feel you are part of a lovely family. The frustrations and challenges caring for elderly people are never evident.
I want to thank every member of staff for doing an excellent job. The facilities are new and cosy and delightful. The food is superb.

What a delightful place. The staff are lovely and helpful. My husband and I have been looking after our friend for 10 years with the help of a carer, but now she is in the best place with people around her day and night.

Review from Christina S (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Foxhunters could not do more to help with settling my mum into care.
Going from the semi-independence of living alone after her husband died suddenly, enduring loneliness and isolation at home, the changes since joining the Foxhunters community has been amazing. A new found pride in appearance, interests
and activities, plus the independence of having the right facilities on hand to encourage it.
Just consider the simple things like having a warm, safe, ensuite, great chefs, nursing and carers as required. Brilliant, topped off with total peace of mind for the family.
Staff have been awesome. Keep up the good work.

Review from Nicola R (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum moved here in December after her previous home closed its nursing facility giving us very short notice to move. The management at Foxhunters could not have been more helpful with the move, putting themselves under pressure to organise their registration with the council so we could meet the deadline
given.
The move was traumatic for mum as she had spent over 3 years at her previous care home. However, thanks to the excellent staff who treated her with respect, patience and dignity she soon felt at home and is now participating in the wide range of activities on offer.
The other residents also played a big part in my mum’s well being as they are always friendly and supportive. Foxhunters is quite unique with its beautiful location, great food and wonderful facilities. It has a friendly atmosphere and the staff take time and care with each individual like they are all family.
I would highly recommend this home to anyone.

Review from Elizabeth A (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 January 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care and attention given to my mother, by all the team at Foxhunters, during her recent respite care stay was superb.
Whilst still dealing with the practicalities of opening a new care home, the personal attention we received from the point of initial contact with the care home cannot be faulted.
The full team showed a drive to understand our specific needs and requirements to ensure that the care and support given was personal, and tailored to ensure Mum's comfort and wellbeing.
This beautifully presented care home was impressive from the first view, but it was the warmth, professionalism and caring dedication shown by the team at the home that ensured my mother's stay was so positive. I would have no hesitation in seeking to approach Foxhunters again for further respite care nor in recommending it to anyone else.

Review from Amy J (Private Carer of Resident) published on 25 January 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Foxhunters were extremely efficient and rescued us at a difficult time. The resident became unsafe to stay in her own home due to mobility issues (mainly). Foxhunters were able to take her in the same day of enquiring.
I was very relieved. The whole process was smooth, staff are excellent and not only
care for the resident but me too. They are very friendly and make me feel welcome at any time.
My only negative comment is communication from staff to family - would like forwarding of appointments. I would like to be informed when the resident is going out so I don't visit when she is not there.

Overall, the assessment of Foxhunters is that they have high standards throughout. No criticism only observations on management and safety/security,
Passage of information initially was not constant but I put this down to new surroundings and staff learning the ropes.
Security - would suggest that
family and friends are not given key codes to doors as it may lead to complacency.
Would like to commend the chefs for their hard work and dedication.

The staff welcomed my Aunt with care compassion and thoughtfulness.
She is 97 and this transition from home to Foxhunters is an enormous step.
Everyone has been so supportive in helping her adjust.
Her needs are being met in every way.

My daughters found me this wonderful care home, and being recently opened I was able to move in at very short notice.
It has been perfect from the moment I got here and when the summer comes I will be able to sit in the garden and listen to the water in the fountain. All the rooms are large and the
same size because the whole building is built for purpose, something that has so many hidden benefits.
Even my 'Alexa'' works and plays music while I go to sleep.................. bliss.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.780)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.780) out of 10 for Foxhunters Care Community is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 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 4.851 for Foxhunters Care Community is calculated as follows: ( (136 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.851
  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 4.929 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Foxhunters Care Community is based on 13 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.929
  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.
