My 97-year-old mother is partially sighted and lived until very recently in very sheltered accommodation where she was remarkably independent for her age.
Following a fall and spell in hospital, the decision was reluctantly made, she needs 24 x 7 care which sheltered accommodation could not offer.
The
move to Foxearth Lodge was made as painless as possible and she has quickly settled in.
She seems happy and content there which is due to the kind and friendly staff who look after her.
The nursing staff soon got her leg ulcers and other problems under control and also put procedures in place to prevent further falls which has increased her confidence and helped her feel safe.
She likes to have her hair done and look smart which the staff have also helped her with.
Her family are welcome to visit at any time and all agree she is being very well cared for.

A first class nursing home, clean and beautifully decorated, outstanding gardens with a pond, bird aviary and feeders everywhere, which are filled daily.
Staff enjoy their job and it is obvious through their friendly approach to their tough job in caring.
The residents want for nothing, newspapers
delivered daily, hairdressers, chiropodist and doctor etc... all in weekly attendance.
A wonderful location. Foxearth Lodge nursing home is an outstanding care home no matter how you look at it.
As a son, I couldn't be more happy for my mother.

Absolutely wonderful care home. A clean, homely and caring place. We couldn't fault the care and compassion shown to our mother and 'us' as a family. It was a lovely place for our mother to spend the last few weeks of her life. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Every member of staff is polite, respectful and helpful. No request is ignored.
Explanations are given for every step or procedure. Facilities for families of residents are excellent.
Our mum was cared for with dignity, respect, gentleness and consideration. We felt she was valued by the staff.
Unfortunately,
our mum was ill and died. The end of life care at the home cannot be faulted. It was excellent.

I could not have wished for a better Nursing home for my late mother. The staff and care she received was first class. Mum moved to Foxearth in May 2015 and firstly was placed in the nursing home section then had to be moved to the dementia side. At no time was mum treated any differently on either
side. There are no words to express how much my sister, brother and I loved mum being there and would say to anyone your peace of mind while your loved one is in their care is worth millions.

I have worked at this nursing home for the past thirty years. This is the only nursing home I would use and as of October 2014 my husband needed a home, I was more than happy for him to come into Foxearth and as I still work there I am able to see him everyday. He is very happy to be there also our
three children are more than happy to him in Foxearth a great nursing home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.748)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.748) out of 10 for Foxearth Lodge Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.748 for Foxearth Lodge Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (217 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.748

  • b) 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 Foxearth Lodge Nursing Home is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
