Overall Experience

My overall experience has been very good you don't realise how difficult and rewarding it is to work in the caring industry. All the staff are very caring and committed and I have found them very helpful and good company and are wonderful with my husband and all residence their patience is a virtue.

Although I have found it upsetting at times, all they do has made it a lot easier to come to terms with everything. A big thank you to all the staff for their dedication and a massive well done for all their hard work.

Overall Experience

It was my first visit to Foxearth Lodge Nursing Home and I was warmly welcomed. Foxearth has such a warm friendly feel, offered tea before the arrival of the tea trolley. I could see how clean everywhere was and everything to hand in the room. I left my friend in the knowledge he was being care for

and looked after extremely well.

Overall Experience

My step son moved in at the right time after living in an assisted living for many years by himself. Due to a severe illness and being in hospital for many weeks, we finally found Foxearth Nursing Home which is ideal for his needs. We decorated his room with photos and personal items to reassure him

of home and he settled in right away. The Manager and staff are so kind, attentive and caring and I cannot thank them enough. They have lifted a huge burden from my shoulders and given him a good quality of life.

Reply from Roxanne Cutajar, Home Manager at Foxearth Lodge Nursing Home

Thank you for such kind words, we were so pleased that we could help your stepson and welcome him to our Foxearth Family. I will share this with the staff as this feedback is so important for them to see. Thank you again!

Overall Experience

Foxearth Lodge came into our lives at just the right time. My mother-in-law was beginning to struggle with her mobility, and living alone at age 89. From the first moment, we knew it would be perfect for her. A down-to-earth, friendly atmosphere. The walls are decorated with happy photos of residents.

The staff are attentive, and kind and treat her with respect. She loves the food and her bedroom has a wonderful view of the beautiful garden. She settled and is content. We can't fault it.

Reply from Roxanne Cutajar, Home Manager at Foxearth Lodge Nursing Home

Thank you for such kind feedback. We are pleased to hear mother in law is settling in and you feel the home is perfect for her as we are very happy to have her as part of our Foxearth Family. I will pass on these kind comments to our staff.

Overall Experience

My aunt was cared for at Foxearth Lodge for the last 3 years of her life. We could not have been happier with standard of care she received. Despite her advancing dementia she was treated with the utmost dignity and respect by all the fabulous staff. We particularly liked the friendly, family atmosphere

and the frequent communication which kept us all aware of what my aunt had been doing as she wasn't able to tell us herself. Rooms are kept spotlessly clean and the food is delicious. I would not hesitate to recommend Foxearth Lodge.

Very happy with Foxearth Lodge. When both my parents became ill they made it possible for them to be in a double room together just like being at home. The service was so good my father used to think he was on holiday! After he passed last year they have taken such good care of my mum and they continue

to do so, she loves the staff there and seems very happy. It is such a weight off my shoulders knowing how well she is being cared for and how happy she is.

Overall Experience

With regards to value for money it is difficult to answer.
The care is good and the activity staff are amazing.
There is lots going on for my mum to join in with and it has a 'family type' atmosphere.
Staff are really friendly and make my mum feel valued and important.
Value for money is difficult

to assess - the cost of all care is high and I would be happier with the fee if the staff were receiving more of it.
I am always kept informed and am welcomed and feel very much part of the family.

After visiting Mum in Foxearth Care Home, I was overwhelmed how good and loving the carers all are, treating Mum with dignity and love. Nothing was too much trouble. I am living in Germany and came over to visit Mum for a few days and now feel a lot better after visiting Foxearth Care Home (Woodlands).

Thank you.

Staff always very friendly and provide an excellent level of care for my mother. I am always updated by phone if there are any problems regarding Mother and we always feel that she is being looked after. Overall I would review the home as excellent, the two comments of good regarding facilities are

based on the fact that Mother does not participate in activities (through choice) so I can't comment. I do feel the food could be improved and the frayed napkins replaced.

The staff always try their best even when they are very busy and pleasant and have smiles on their faces. The food is nearly always served on time and hot when that is required and nicely cooked. The two housekeepers have been very helpful to me. They seem to be able to deal with anything that comes

their way.

I arrived at Foxearth Lodge Nursing Home on 15/01/24 for a 4-week visit. Not knowing what to think about the nursing home, it was really a very pleasant surprise. The building containing the nursing home was in every detail marvellously suitable. The experience of my stay in the home was very and entirely

comfortable. The routine of the stay was made up by excellent meals from a very happy kitchen staff. The staff of the home were always welcoming and entirely friendly. The service provided was excellent.

Overall Experience

My mum moved here in August 2023 after being too confused to remain at home. She and I were made very welcome by everyone. All the staff are very friendly caring and go above and beyond.
I am always kept informed of any changes to Mum's needs and care and the management team are very helpful. I can

see Mum is cared for amazingly as due to commitments I visit at all different times and the standard is so high always. Mum's room is cosy and kept amazingly clean.
There is always entertainment for the residents with so much variety.
I was so worried about my mum moving into a home - but I shouldn’t have been. Mum is very happy, safe and well looked after by an amazing team of people.

My stepfather came to Foxearth at very short notice, but was immediately made welcome by everyone. From day 1, staff and management have gone out of their way to see to his needs and make him part of their family. Now, after two months, he is enjoying life and taking an active part in daily activities.

We, as visitors, are made to feel very welcome and are happy to know he is in such good, safe hands.

An outstanding care home. Very well run, caring staff and an extensive range of activities every week.

Overall Experience

When we heard my wife was being moved to Foxearth Lodge from another care home we were concerned about the distance from her former home in Bungay. However, despite the many car journeys over eighteen months, we were delighted at the way she responded to the care and attention provided in Woodbridge.

She got to know her carers very well and, whilst still able, spoke of her days with you very warmly. Her final end was handled very sympathetically. At her funeral last week, a most moving experience, Foxearth Lodge was spoken of most highly.

Reply from Roxanne Cutajar, Home Manager at Foxearth Lodge Nursing Home

Thank you for such kind words, it is at times difficult when one goes into a facility especially when not close to home, but our team try their best to ensure that this becomes our resident's second home and they feel loved and cared for by our Foxearth Family. We are happy to have supported your relative and family all throughout their stay at Foxearth Lodge. I will share these lovely comments with our team.
