Foxbridge has become a satisfactory care home for my wife. The home is warm and well-kept. The laundry service is good, meals excellent. I realise staffing is a constant worry for the home, however, I find the staffing levels generally good. Supervising staff are excellent. The staff are pleasant, helpful,
and professional. I have no complaints about staff or the running of the home.

My great-aunt stayed at Foxbridge House Care Home until she sadly passed away. The staff at Foxbridge House were all amazing. They ensured my great-aunt was comfortable and even showed compassion towards me and the rest of the family. During the last few days of her life, we were there for many hours.
We were given food and drinks and treated like their family. I cannot thank them all enough for what they have done.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are very caring and in general very attentive to resident's needs. One always feels welcome by the front office staff. At times, at weekends when there are agency staff, the standard is lower i.e appearance of rooms, resident's personal items are left un-tidier.
Reply from Samantha Debenham, Personal Assistant at Foxbridge House

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for Foxbridge House. We are pleased to read that you find the team here very caring and attentive to residents' needs and that you feel welcome here. We would like to assure you that we are working on reducing our reliance on agency colleagues at the weekends and we are proactively working with our RGNs to ensure they are leading their teams to apply the same standards that are expected during the week. If you would like to discuss this further, please do not hesitate to contact the home manager directly.

Review from R W (Son of Resident) published on 25 October 2022 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We came to the hard decision that my mother needed wrap around care following her deterioration due to dementia. Before she was placed in care she had a rapid three month decline. While she has been in Foxbridge the decline has drastically decelerated. I am in no doubt that this is through the excellent
care of the staff. The staff keep me updated and I can tell it's not just a job for them. The weight loss stopped for my mum when she entered care at Foxbridge. Foxbridge was recommended by a friend and I would be happy to also recommend.

Most people smile a lot so that is an indication of fun (?) satisfaction and from this general attitude to other staff and to work - they don't get to have hurt feelings of being exploited. There is a general happy satisfactory atmosphere throughout the home.

Having had experience of two previous care homes, Foxbridge House is far and away the best.
Every member of staff - irrespective of role - exhibits professional and personable attributes individually and as a team.
Residents and visitors are listened to and will comply where possible.
This care
home presents a care culture which is second to none.

I was in respite care for three weeks after being in hospital for a serious health condition. This is my second time around. I have both times throughout enjoyed myself and hoping to go back again in May when my daughter goes on holiday. Everybody is so kind, helpful and the food is very good - well
cooked. Considering Covid existed, I thought all the staff coped excellently or looked after us residents extremely well.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.672)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.672) out of 10 for Foxbridge House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 65 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 62 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 4.672 for Foxbridge House is calculated as follows: ( (561 Excellents x 5) + (150 Goods x 4) + (26 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 751 Ratings = 4.672
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Foxbridge House is based on 62 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 84 registered maximum number of service users is 16.8, which has been reached with 62 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

Job Title: Home Manager

There are many different aspects of my role as Home Manager at Foxbridge House, but one of my favourites is the opportunity to meet and get to know residents and their families. It’s a huge privilege.


Every person we care for is at the heart of their care: they make decisions about how they want to be cared for, how they want to spend their day and live their life, and we support them to make that happen.


Central to achieving that is having a superb team. We have great people at Foxbridge House who are determined to do their best for residents, relatives and for each other. I’m here to support them to succeed, and Care UK supports me to succeed as well.


While this job is high-pressured and there’s a lot to juggle, the feeling at the end of the day of knowing that you’ve done the best job you can is second to none.
