Foxbridge House

Foxbridge proved a friendly and caring environment for my mothers recovery from a fall. Well designed and modern, it was completely the opposite of the somewhat bleak picture we had in our heads of care/nursing homes.

A very, clean beautiful residential home. My aunt felt she was on holiday in a hotel. Staff all so caring. It's always a worry leaving someone you love in the hands of strangers but Foxbridge House gave such peace of mind.

I think Foxbridge is fabulous. The difference in my uncle in the 18 months he has been here is amazing. At home he was quiet, sad and generally asleep, here he is his happy, noisy, well fed self. His recent bout of ill health was dealt with super efficiently and I have no doubt the staff here kept him from a trip to hospital. Everyone talks to him, cares about him and treats him lovingly. I was very against 'putting him in a home' but for him it has been the best decision we have made for a long time. Well done all the staff at Foxbridge.

Care and supportive.

I have nothing but praise for everyone working in Foxbridge House. The care given to my mother for the 2 short months she was there was brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. The decor of the place was more like a hotel really clean airy and well equipped. All the residents always seemed happy and contented and there was always a good choice of food in the restaurant. Carers always helped and encouraged if residents were not wanting to eat and respect was always shown and nursing care was always done in a dignified manner. Mum always used to say she was a loner but quickly joined in with any of the activities she was able to do and she always had a smile for everyone. Foxbridge has restored my faith in what a care home should be and I was always happy to spend time there with mum. It really did become a home from home

I visit my 92 year old friend at least once a week. Every time I go she complains about the food- the choice- the quality and presentation. I take her in soups which the staff make for her! On Saturday she was given three sandwiches for tea- no garnish. When she asked for a fourth one she was told not enough had been made! No energy is put into getting residents into the dining room- I'm told that many residents have their food in their rooms. She is not receiving any intellectual stimulation and chooses to spend all day in her room. Little apparent leaders.

Staff are very very helpful.

My mother arrived at Foxbridge in October 2013, after a very distressing time in and out of hospital with double pneumonia. She seemed to rally initially with the wonderful care she received at Foxbridge, but sadly in December 2013 she suffered a severe stroke which was a game changer! over night she lost the ability to speak coherently and the stroke exacerbated her confusion. She had vascular dementia. Our lovely lady as we called her had changed forever. The care staff at Foxbridge could not have done more to make mums stay as comfortable and safe as possible. Their dedication and tenderness to mum and their empathy with my sister and I was impeccable. Mum had good days and bad, despite her deteriorating condition. The carers were always loving and cheerful. The entertainment manager was fantastic and as I lived in South Africa, went the extra mile to Skype regularly so I could see mum. When she sadly passed away in October 2015, we were devastated. But the staff were fantastic right until the very end!. They gave mum dignity in life and death. I will never have enough words to praise them.

The only downside is the constant turnover of staff. It would be great if this could be looked at - reasons why they leave!

I feel very privileged that mum is living in this home and both mum and I are very well looked after.

Very good and helpful.

I have been at Foxbridge for many months and very satisfied by conditions here. Arriving here with my wife who left us for a better place where we will all arrive at in due course. My wife was also very happy whilst here. I might add that our eight children all believe that we chose well when we came here.
