Reply from Marie Wood, Manager at Foxhunters Care Community
We are sorry that you feel so negative about the care your mother is receiving. We always pride ourselves on the high standards of care given to those living in the home, the positive comments we receive are testament to this. We have apologised directly to you for the miscommunication. We have offered you the opportunity to meet to discuss this but you have not responded. We did not lie to the social worker. Your mother has not been left on her own in her room for 11 weeks. Staff spend a considerable amount of time with your mother whilst undertaking personal care, assisting her with her diet & offering activities. Your mother’s loss of speech is as a result of her deteriorating condition – this has not changed since her admission to the home. We have never refused visits to see your mother and have welcomed you to the home whenever requested. We acknowledge that your mother has lost weight since her admission but not 9Kg as you state, this was an issue prior to admission. We will ensure that we do everything to ensure the transfer to another home is as seamless as possible and until then, continue to offer a high standard of care.

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.857) out of 10 for Foxhunters Care Community is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.857 for Foxhunters Care Community is calculated as follows: ( (180 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.857
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 Foxhunters Care Community is based on 17 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 17 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.

I have been working as an activity coordinator for nearly seventeen years now and have been at Foxhunters since we opened back in 2018. The team within Foxhunters is without a doubt the best, not only are they supportive and really try to get involved but they also assist in the delivery of activity and are always coming up with ideas that we can use to entertain our Ladies and Gentlemen.
Whilst I have been at Foxhunters, I have completed my level 3 in health and social care along with various other training delivered by Oomph, which has benefitted me greatly and given me the confidence to expand my ideas and try new things. I have developed my own training which focuses on the delivery of activity and how this can benefit the wider team.
