Seventh heaven

Everyone at Foxhunters is in seventh heaven after we once again make it into a guide which showcases the top 100 care homes in the UK.

This is the seven consecutive year that we have featured in the Knight Frank Luxury Care Home Guide.

The guide recognises excellence in care home design, innovation and hospitality, celebrating the best facilities across the UK.

Foxhunters ticked all these boxes over the last 12 months, the highlight being the blessing of a wedding at the home in September 2025. This took place because Ruth Ogden, a lady living with dementia who lives at Foxhunters, was unable to attend the registry office to see her daughter Rachel marry her fiancé Mike.

The blessing was conducted by the home’s Maintenance Manager Richard Clarke, who is a registered Celebrant.

Helen Davies-Parsons, Chief Executive of Dormy Care Communities, said: “To make the guide just once is a great achievement, but to be included for seven consecutive years is very special and it is testament to everything which is great about Foxhunters.

“This guide is the pinnacle of our industry and it’s pleasing that Foxhunters is still being recognised eight years after opening.

“We’re always seeking to innovate and the wedding is a great example. Rachel said she wouldn’t have got married if Ruth couldn’t be present so there was absolutely no way we were going to let that happen and it was a truly special day for everyone.

“Foxhunters is, of course, only as good as the quality of care which is provided to the ladies and gentlemen who live there and I would like to thank our amazing staff team who deliver such an exceptional service.”
