My father has now been at Foxbridge House for nearly 3 years. During his time here he has received good quality care and seems content in his own world. Occasionally I need to remind staff about certain grooming such as shaving and fingernails and usually, this is attended to promptly. Overall a positive
experience for ourselves and our father.

Very expensive for level of care provided.
Overall good facilities.
Management staff good but too many temps.
Had issues with heavy handling resulting in bruising.
Clothes and hangers go missing all the time.

Reply from Amy Wilson, AD at Foxbridge House

Thank you very much for your feedback regarding your grandfather‘s care at Foxbridge House. We do take your concerns and feedback seriously and would like to thank you for taking the time to share your views.


We appreciate your positive comments regarding the facilities and management staff, but are sorry to hear that you feel that there are too many temporary staff. When using temporary staff, we always aim to book regular agencies who will be able to offer continuity of care to the residents. We are currently undergoing a recruitment drive at the home to recruit more permanent staff.


With regard to handling, I would like to offer my assurance that all issues concerning unexplained bruising are fully investigated and appropriate action taken.
Our laundering and sorting procedures have recently been reviewed, following the recruitment of a new colleague, to make these more robust. We are, therefore, hopeful that this will remove this concern with families and, more importantly, the residents.
Thank you again for taking the time to provide your feedback, our home manager would welcome the opportunity to discuss any aspects of your grandfather’s care in person. Please feel free to contact the home to make an appointment.

My mother has recently moved to Foxbridge House. The staff have made a huge effort to ensure that the process was as easy as possible. The care Mum has received has been exemplary, as a result Mum has settled in well.

My aunt and uncle moved into Foxbridge House 1st May. They have been here for 4 weeks and are extremely happy. The staff are lovely and nothing is too much trouble for them. The rooms are very good and comfortable. Food is excellent and caters for all tastes. Hot drinks, cake and biscuits always available.
Plenty of daytime entertainment. All in all, my aunt and uncle are safe, secure and happy.

My aunt 96 and uncle moved in at the beginning of this month as they were no longer able to look after themselves at home. My aunt is walking around on her frame very confidently as, at home, she wasn't leaving her bedroom or getting dressed. So nice seeing them mixing with people. Tea, coffee and cakes
in reception are fab. The coffee shop is a great place to spend time with them.

Overall good care in terms of keeping them safe, feeding and being kind to residents. However, they do not keep residents clean and hygienic, e.g. my Nan needs her teeth cleaned and pads changed, yet they don't do it often enough. There is lack of staff but when staff are around them they are usually
on the computer or filing papers.

The care home is very professionally run. All care staff are competent, pleasant and caring. The establishment has a "homely" feel about it and all facilities are good, including food.
One gripe - the television in my mother's room has not worked properly since she arrived. Despite repeated requests,
it has not been resolved. Not good when paying £6,500 per month!

Reply from Amy Wilson, AD at Foxbridge House

Thank you very much for your feedback regarding your mother’s care at Foxbridge House. We’re grateful for your comments and positive scores around the facilities and food. We are also really pleased to hear that you feel the care staff are competent, pleasant and caring. They work hard to ensure all residents are safe, happy and comfortable and can enjoy the ‘homely feel’ that you refer to.
We are very sorry that the television was not working properly in your mother’s bedroom. We work hard to ensure that all facilities at the home are well maintained and available at all times, but clearly, in this case, it took longer than we would hope to resolve and apologise for this not being attended to sooner. We are pleased to confirm that the television has now been fixed/replaced and are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused whilst not working properly.
Thank you again for taking the time to provide your feedback and kind words, and of course please do contact the home manager or any other members of the senior team at the home if there is anything else we can help with now or in the future.

My dad joined Foxbridge in June 2017, after an initial meeting and walk around the home. All the staff are very friendly, welcoming and caring. They work hard together to ensure that each resident feels settled, comfortable and individual. Dad loves the food and going to the cinema!

My mother has been at Foxbridge for almost five years.
About half the time she was on the ground floor and she has been on the second floor for the other half as she is immobile and needs medical care.
All the care staff are good and many are excellent.
They care for her and care about her, which
is important.

I have been impressed by the willingness of staff to advise and help. I have noticed that the bathroom has been left in an untidy state.

Reply from Samantha Debenham, Marketing Support Administrator at Foxbridge House

Thank you for taking the time to submit your review - I am particularly happy to read your kind words and see your excellent scores, particularly for the standard of care and the team at Foxbridge House. In regards to the cleanliness of the bathroom, I do apologise and have raised this with the head housekeeper and care team. All rooms are cleaned daily and they will ensure that the proper checks are in place to make sure that this takes place as it should in future. Thank you again for your review, and please do let us know now or at any time in the future if you have any comments, questions or concerns and we will always be happy to help.

Our mother was previously in a home that did not provide nursing care. We have found Foxbridge House to be friendly and caring. It doesn't matter who you speak to, they are all well informed and up to date with my mother's care. She is clean, fed and well cared for.
There are many homes who could
learn from Foxbridge.
So far, very good, keep it up.
And thank you.

Mum had a 2-week respite after being taken ill and a brief spell in hospital to re-charge her batteries and get back to fitness for returning home to her house.


Mum enjoyed her spell here and repeatedly said how kind and caring the staff were.


I believe her only complaint was the food, which she

likened to school dinners (she's an ex-teacher)! Other than that everything was as we wished for her prior to arrival.


So from myself and my sister, we were very grateful.


Reply from Samantha Debenham, Marketing Support Administrator at Foxbridge House

Thank you for your feedback of Foxbridge House and we are delighted with the positive comments and scores, particularly for the care and team at the home.


In regards to the food, I’m very pleased to say that we have recently employed a second chef who brings years of experience and we have worked hard with the team, residents and relatives to launch a brand new menu for the home. We always welcome feedback, including for food and we are very happy that in our regular meetings with residents and relatives we’ve had very positive feedback regarding the changes. Of course, we will continue to adapt and improve menus to meet the needs and wishes of residents, making meals in-house with fresh ingredients and making sure we have plenty of delicious options, particularly for those with special dietary needs.


If your mother stays with us again and there is anything that you or her would like added to the menu, then, of course, please do let us know. Many thanks again for your feedback and please do speak to the home manager or member of the senior management team if you have any comments, questions or suggestions now or in the future.

A two-week respite for myself. A pleasant experience, treated with respect and kindness by all members of staff.


My only criticism was the quality and suitability of food for elderly and in some cases unwell people.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.734)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.734) out of 10 for Foxbridge House 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 52 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 51 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 4.734 for Foxbridge House is calculated as follows: ( (457 Excellents x 5) + (119 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 595 Ratings = 4.734

  • 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 Foxbridge House is based on 51 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 84 registered maximum number of service users is 16.8, which has been reached with 51 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

There are many different aspects of my role as Home Manager at Foxbridge House, but one of my favourites is the opportunity to meet and get to know residents and their families. It’s a huge privilege.


Every person we care for is at the heart of their care: they make decisions about how they want to be cared for, how they want to spend their day and live their life, and we support them to make that happen.


Central to achieving that is having a superb team. We have great people at Foxbridge House who are determined to do their best for residents, relatives and for each other. I’m here to support them to succeed, and Care UK supports me to succeed as well.


While this job is high-pressured and there’s a lot to juggle, the feeling at the end of the day of knowing that you’ve done the best job you can is second to none.
