As mum was my last remaining relative and I currently live in Australia, it was a pleasure visiting my dying mother whilst she was at Foxholes. It was a three month journey and although it was difficult for my mother who was a very independent and strong willed woman, she was always treated with respect
and dignity by the staff. As mum did not want to pass away in hospital, it was up to Foxholes to provide end of care and I am very happy with all the staff's efforts and attention to my mother. It was very reassuring to know that there would always be someone there for mum 24/7.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Mum didn't want to go into a care home, but Foxholes was different. Unlike a corporation Foxholes is a family owned, family run home so mum was able to furnish and personalise her room. It looked much like her front lounge. We were also able to come and go as if visiting her at home, as were her many
friends. The staff were lovely, patient and professional. Mum was assigned a key worker, but all the carers popped in to say hello. She was never alone. She had a lovely room overlooking the landscaped garden. Activities were laid on both morning and afternoon. Some, like Irish dancing, or bringing an owl in, seemed to be done especially for mum. Towards the end, mum was cared for exceptionally well. She was warm, comfortable and pain free with regular checks by the GP. And when we needed to be there by her bedside, we were made welcome and looked after too. It made mum's passing more bearable, as were the messages of support and condolences from the staff, carers, residents and owners.

Foxholes Care Home

from Debra S (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 March 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mum was very reluctant to leave her own home, but when she saw Foxholes with its spacious and pristine facilities and the beautiful grounds, she was happy to take up residence there. The warmth and compassion shown by all staff was outstanding, and I always felt my mum was in extremely safe hands.
When any (very minor) issue arose, it was dealt with promptly and taken seriously, thus ensuring that my mum felt that she had a voice and was among people who cared.
The very full programme of activities, catering to every taste, was impressive, and helped create the positive atmosphere that is immediately noticeable on entering the building. In her final days my mum needed full nursing care, and I will always be grateful for the way that she - and my husband and I - were supported at this difficult time. Staff were professional and immensely kind. I fully recommend Foxholes; if I can spend my twilight years in somewhere anything like as good as this, I will consider myself blessed!

My sister was in a care home that was closing down. She had been in this care home for 11 years and it was in a different part of the country. The change was a big upheaval for her. The staff at Sloe Hill are very kind and made sure that my sister felt comfortable straight away and eased the settling-in
period. Nearly a year later my sister is contented and the experienced staff know how to cater to her individual needs. Sloe Hill is quiet which is perfect for someone who just needs a secure peaceful environment. I am very happy with the care my sister is receiving.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My experience with Foxholes is very good. My father-in-law for the past 18 months has been looked after in a very caring, attentive and supportive manner. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for the staff. The home is very well run by a close family who are always around and are very approachable to
answer any questions.
The home is kept very clean throughout and is freshly decorated regularly. The food always looks delicious and is served and presented nicely. Although my father-in-law cannot get involved in all of the full program of activities the ones that he can enjoy are the many involving live music. All in all, we are very pleased with his care and can highly recommend Foxholes.

Reply from Neil Gandecha, Director at Foxholes Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. We're so pleased your father-in-law feels well cared for and that you appreciate our family-run approach. We also appreciate your honest feedback and note your 4-star ratings for staff and care/support.

My dear dad has been in Foxholes care for over a year. He is a true gentleman aged 94 with specific needs. I feel most grateful that he has the best of care in his final years. The Foxholes team treat him with kindness and respect, fine-tuning his needs in a gentle and happy manner. When you walk into
Foxholes you could easily be walking into the reception of a five-star hotel. A beautiful place and set in beautiful grounds with views of the countryside. The home is run by a close-knit family who are constantly around to offer their support. There is always a smile to be shared. There is a weekly program of ever-changing activities. Mealtimes are exceptional with freshly prepared choices, accompanied by a glass of wine if preferred. Families are welcome to join for mealtimes too. Birthdays are celebrated with a homemade cake and a party atmosphere. Calendar events are also given the very best of celebrations. "A big thank you" to the Foxholes team you are an outstanding care home!

Reply from Neil Gandecha, Director at Foxholes Care Home

Thank you for your wonderful review. It means so much to hear how well your dad is cared for and that you feel confident he's in the best hands.

We truly appreciate your kind words and support.

My mother has been a resident at Foxholes Care Home for the past five years. It was her decision to sell her home and move into Foxholes as her sight, hearing and mobility deteriorated. Having been independent the adjustment to living in a community where all her needs were met was not easy. The staff
understood this and treated her with understanding and compassion. The rooms and facilities inside and out are excellent and most importantly the staff are very capable and kind. The meals and snacks are appetising and presented in an attractive fashion. It is like living in a five-star hotel. There are daily activities and although mother cannot always take part the staff includes her and she is not left alone in her room. Now at 100 years old, she is happy and content. What more could the family ask?

Reply from Neil Gandecha, Director at Foxholes Care Home

Thank you for your kind words and for trusting us with your mother's care. We're delighted that she feels happy and supported at Foxholes. Knowing she is comfortable and included means so much to us. We truly appreciate your feedback and are always here if you need anything.

My mother lived at Foxholes from November 2019 until July 2024, whilst she was bravely battling dementia. She was treated with respect, kindness and patience by all the staff during that time, for which I am truly grateful. She was gently encouraged to join in activities and particularly enjoyed ones
involving music. There were also regular events for the family to attend with her, which were well organised and most enjoyable. During her final few days many of the staff popped in to see her. The care she received during that time, and the kindness, compassion and support we, as a family, were shown really was second to none. I can't thank the staff enough. I will never forget their kindness. They deserve the highest recommendation.

My Mum has been at Foxholes for a few years now, with advancing dementia. She is content to stay in her peaceful, bright room overlooking trees, horse paddocks and the beautiful new gardens. She cannot speak now, but all the staff are so kind and considerate with her, anticipating and checking on her
needs, treating her with dignity, and making sure she is comfortable.


I have always been very happy with the care she receives at Foxholes - the management team are always visible, the home has a lovely family atmosphere, and I am always kept aware of any health concerns about my mother. They have wonderful staff and I see them treating residents with kindness and compassion. I am so grateful for the excellent care they give to my Mum.


For anyone looking for a place for their loved one, I would recommend looking at Foxholes - the whole team does a wonderful job.

It is very early days for my dad at Foxholes who has been diagnosed with vascular dementia. My first impressions at the home have been entirely positive. The staff have been consistently friendly and professional. Communication with the care home has been good which has been so important for our family.
It has been wonderful to see photos of dad enjoying several activities and interacting with others. The home is immaculate and has a wonderful, relaxed family feel to it. Dad's room has a spectacular view and is spacious, light and well-furnished. The grounds, layout and facilities are of a very high standard and it is wonderful to see dad being incredibly well cared for.

Mum was with Foxholes for almost 2 years and joined with vascular dementia. Mum loved Foxholes from her very first visit and throughout. The warm, friendly, family environment is evident as soon as you walk in. The team are incredible and treated Mum with dignity, compassion, empathy and love. As a
social character, Mum loved being amongst the many activities that were on offer and the grounds and facilities are lovely. Mum was happy, secure and content in Foxholes and her experience was the best final chapter for Mum that, given her circumstances, we could hope for. As her family, we also felt part of the Foxholes family and were welcome to visit any time. Even a couple of local cats choose to visit! My experience with the team has been overwhelmingly positive and I am both grateful and thankful that Mum was cared for at Foxholes.

Mum has been at Sloe Hill for nearly a year and has thrived from the wonderful care. She has a great relationship with the staff and frequently tells us how happy and safe she feels. Mum loves the attention they give her and was overwhelmed by the party they organised for her birthday. We are so impressed
that the staff have remained consistent since she started and this has certainly been a key factor in how easily she settled. All the staff have been very encouraging and supportive of Mum, nurturing her strengths and supporting her with things that she finds more difficult to navigate. Mum always loved her own garden and enjoys being in the grounds of Sloe Hill. Knowing her love of gardening, she has been involved in its recent development and is looking forward to spending as much time as possible outside this summer.

Sloe Hill

from Neil N (Son of Resident) published on 22 April 2024
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Sloe Hill offers a quiet and peaceful home. The staff are kind, friendly and approachable, offering support to the residents, and encouraging engagement with a range of simple activities such as chair exercises, scrabble and dominoes. The residents can enjoy a pleasant environment. The home is not suitable
for those unable to interact with others or who may be disruptive.
My father has everything he needs. There isn’t a coffee bar, an ice cream parlour or hairdressers, as some larger homes may have. My father would not get full use of such facilities. That said, the home does have a visiting hairdresser and a chiropodist. The home offers a warm, safe environment with home-cooked meals and an opportunity to socialise. There is a genuine homely feel to the place. There are two lounges which are very pleasant. There is also a fabulous garden where the residents can sit and relax.
The staff are all lovely. My father is always full of praise. The nicest home appropriate to my father’s needs.

My elderly father came here in May 2023 when it became clear he needed round-the-clock care. Previously, his routine was totally out of sync, and he was terribly confused, often unsteady on his feet and having fallen.
After he moved into Sloe Hill, he was a little unsettled at first, as most people
are. Now though, he is very happy having made some friends with other residents. His routine is properly in line, and he isn’t anywhere near as confused as he was, and he is no longer having falls.
The staff and management are very friendly and caring; they do their absolute best to make the residents happy.
The location is lovely and quiet, the home itself is a beautiful building, and there is a large garden, which is very pleasant during the summer when visitors come.
Dad especially enjoys visits to the sister care home for lunch on a Wednesday; the staff definitely make sure everyone is suitably entertained.
Very happy in the knowledge that Dad is safe and being looked after well.

I visited my friend's dad when I was in the area and was blown away by how things have changed at Sloe Hill since I visited several years ago.
It is a small home run by a local family and my friend is very happy there after being very lonely whilst living at home. His health had also started to deteriorate
as he was not looking after himself and whist he was reluctant to make the move, I can see the improvement that has occurred in only a couple of months.
He has a lovely, cosy room that overlooks the garden which he made good use of during the summer and we enjoyed sitting there during my visits. I was also surprised to be offered lunch during my visit, but realise that this is the benefit of residing in a small home.
I am looking forward to visiting again when I am next in the area.
