I feel my mother is safe and well cared for. She is warm and has access to all she needs - even if she doesn't use the TV!
Her room is comfy, thought the wardrobe has a rather dilapidated air. Otherwise it is hard to know what more you could be doing to help her.

Reply from Maria Wegner, Home Manager at Brendoncare Froxfield

Thank you so much for your lovely words about the care we are giving your mother. We are so glad we can keep her safe and warm while ensuring she has everything she needs.

My husband was transferred from hospital to Brendoncare Froxfield as he had specified that he didn't want to pass away in hospital. I am so grateful to them for accepting him. Unfortunately, I had a particularly bad cold and I didn't want to take my germs into the home so I wasn't able to visit on the
Friday night. The manager kept me informed about his condition on Friday and by Saturday morning, I received a call from the most amazing senior nurse who informed me that his condition had deteriorated significantly and that I needed to be there. My parents went in first as they were closer and I arrived shortly after. The whole team were absolutely fantastic during his last few hours, treating him and my family and me with dignity, respect and genuine kindness. My heartfelt thanks to the senior nurse, the manager and the team for making his passing pain-free and peaceful. Not only did they care for my husband, they looked after me and my family in the aftermath. Thank you all!

A year ago, it became evident that our lovely mum, fiercely independent and determined never to leave her beautiful home, could no longer manage by herself. In our search for the 'perfect' home, we were recommended Brendoncare, Froxfield. The moment we walked in the door, we could imagine Mum there.
The warm, friendly welcome we received from all the staff, the cheerful and relaxed atmosphere plus the clean, comfortable and well-equipped rooms all set in a peaceful and beautiful location, all helped with our decision. A year later, Mum is as settled as she could ever be, and we are impressed with the care and support received so far. Communication is good, managers and staff show compassion and respect, and the nursing care is very professional. The carers and nurses, endlessly empathetic, patient and kind, always have time for us. We also appreciate the camaraderie and sense of fun but, most importantly, Mum feels safe, loved and comfortable, and we believe she is in very good hands.

Reply from Maria Wegner, Home Manager at Brendoncare Froxfield

Thank you for your kind words. Your Mum is a delightful person and it has been wonderful to get to know her. Such a glamorous, funny and engaging woman we love our conversations and she always leaves me with a smile on my face. We so are happy that your Mum is settled and thinks of Froxfield as home.

Five years ago, I visited Brendoncare Froxfield Care Home, I was very impressed with the kindness and patience of the staff. Since then, my husband has found himself in Froxfield. I could not be more pleased as he is very content as there are many he can react with as he is a people-person. He is very
well looked after and there are many people coming and going which he loves. Also, he loves the delicious meals.

Reply from Maria Wegner, Home Manager at Brendoncare Froxfield

Thank you so much for such a lovely review. I am glad that your husband is settled and happy. He is a very charming man and we have all loved getting to know you both.

My wife has been resident in Brendoncare Froxfield since July 2022 and she has been very well looked after throughout this time. She has advanced dementia and is immobile so she requires full-time nursing care. All those who work at Brendoncare Froxfield are very kind and caring and I have been most
impressed by them all and by the atmosphere in the care home.

Reply from Maria, Home Manager at Brendoncare Froxfield

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, I will be sure to pass it onto the rest of the staff here at Froxfield, they will be delighted. It is a pleasure to have your wife here with us and that you are happy with the care. We look forward to your visits as well as your daughters/families visits.

My mother had got to the stage with Alzheimer's where she could do almost nothing for herself during the last 9 months of her life aged 95. Brendoncare provided the most expert and compassionate nursing care throughout that period. They tried their hardest to find out my mothers wishes and they welcomed
us as visitors to the outside window as best they could during Covid19 in a very professional and kind manner. It is hard to think of anything better that could have been said or done. The nurses were obviously devoted to giving all the patients the best possible care and attention and good value for the monthly fees being paid. There is great love and concern throughout the nursing home and attention to detail. My mother's surroundings in her room were very functional and attractive. Her food was good. Her sense of humour did not cease and she liked the quiet surroundings. Brendoncare is thoroughly to be recommended.

Reply from Maria Wegner, Home Manager at Brendoncare Froxfield

Thank you so much for your kind words and I am happy that we were able to support you as a family as well as giving your Mother the best care possible. It is a lovely location that can be quite serene and I am glad your Mother enjoyed it.

My mother was a resident at the care home with terminal cancer. Unfortunately, her stay was short as she deteriorated quite suddenly. The carers were so nice, did the best they could to ease her pain and make her stay as comfortable as possible. She was treated with dignity and compassion and our family
were also helped with kind words and cups of tea.

Reply from Maria Wegner, Home Manager at Brendoncare Froxfield

My father was a resident. Sadly when my mother was on her death bed, dad thought he wouldn't get to the hospital to say goodbye. The manager went above and beyond her duty at 6 am dressed him and put him in her car and drove as quickly as she could to get him there, My mum passed away shortly after
she saw him. In my eyes, the manager is an Angel. Not only that but another male carer gave my dad an incredibly respectful passing, placing a rose on his chest. I am beyond grateful to all of them. Angels forever.

We have nothing but good things to say about Brendon Care. Our mum was placed into Froxfield for end of life care. On her arrival, she was treated like royalty. The staff and management couldn't have done more to make her feel safe and comfortable to the end of her life. During my mothers stay we were
regularly updated on the next steps of action. Mum sadly passed on Sept 6th after battling illness for 27 weeks. Again the dignity shown with mums passing was above and beyond our expectations.

The staff at Brendoncare Froxfield have always treated my mother with dignity, respect and great care. Without exception, they seem to take a personal interest in Mum, family and situation and take great pride in what they do. Despite all the Covid restrictions they have tried many creative activities
to keep my mother as active as possible. I believe it to be a well-managed establishment, with a predominately happy and skilled workforce. Keep up the good work.

We moved my nearly blind mother of 99 years to Brendoncare from sheltered housing in Bexhill which had been sold and the standard was going downhill. Well, what can I say, my mother was welcomed by wonderful, caring staff, nothing is too much trouble. She is a fusspot when it comes to food - not a problem
and her needs have been catered for.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.635)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.635) out of 10 for Brendoncare Froxfield 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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 4.735 for Brendoncare Froxfield is calculated as follows: ( (76 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 102 Ratings = 4.735

  • 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Brendoncare Froxfield is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 9 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.
