The staff on Hedgehog treat mum with respect and dignity. Mum is very elderly, far older than most of us will ever aspire to. She has vascular dementia alongside other health conditions including ovarian cancer. Mum can be very difficult at times, demanding her own way and very stubborn - but staff
understand and manage this well to keep her safe. She is very frail and hardly eats but the staff try very hard to encourage and cook and offer alternatives even though she then declines those too.


Staff keep me informed through the App and call if there is something more serious. They always welcome me when I arrive- both in the unit and reception. Staff are clearly concerned for her ongoing welfare and personal wishes whatever they may be at the time. They apply principles of best wishes as necessary. As a result mum does feel loved and I am happy that she is in a secure and caring environment. Our family views are endorsed by mum's latest LA Deprivation of Liberty and BIA reports.

My dad is currently receiving end-of-life care following his admission with Alzheimer's roughly five months ago. The care and nursing he has received have been second to none, not to mention the care we have all received as a family whilst staying with dad in his final days and hours. The management
and staff have gotten everything right with their approach and attention to detail. Thank you all so, so much.

I cannot speak highly enough of Foxburrow Grange. The staff here are incredibly friendly and accommodating, always going above and beyond to ensure that the residents feel comfortable and well-cared for. Every time I visit, I'm greeted with warmth and genuine kindness from everyone. The atmosphere is
always positive and uplifting, creating a lovely and welcoming environment for the residents. It's clear that the well-being and happiness of the residents are a top priority here. In addition to the excellent care, the food is good! They offer a great variety of nutritious and tasty meals, which my husband always enjoys.
I have peace of mind knowing my husband is in such good hands at Foxburrow Grange. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a caring and supportive environment for their loved ones.

My mother has been with Foxburrow for over 12 months - the 3rd she has been in. Today I messaged them. I see so many articles on social media from families that are struggling with care homes that don't care, evict loved ones for occasional challenging behaviour, send people to hospitals and then aren't
allowed back and are constantly arguing with Managers and Carers.


I count myself very lucky that I have had so much support from Foxburrow - laundry when she was hiding and stealing clothes, maintenance when she was flushing everything down the toilet, all when she was constantly escaping, all with her challenging behaviour. The nurses with medication and the night shift with mum's antics. The support I have had is outstanding and every time I see another story from it reminds me how lucky I am. It's hard to convey to everyone how much they are all appreciated so please pass on my thanks. Don't go on CQC reports alone - Please go and view the home and meet the teams.


Reply from Abhilash Gopi, Home Manager at Foxburrow Grange Care Home

Thank you for your valuable feedback and support, we will continue to provide the best for our service users. We will pass this feedback on to the staff who look after your mum and I am sure they will be very pleased.

My husband had his 91st birthday and we took him to a friend's house (very near) to have lunch. We all had a very happy time but when we arrived back it was even better! His room had been decorated with balloons and photos of him enjoying some of the activities which are always on offer. Everyone was
wishing him a happy birthday when a young man came in with the most beautiful cake which the chef had made for him. That was really the icing on the cake! I can't praise all the staff enough for going well over what should be their job to ensure that the residents feel cared for and happy.

Our Mum has been at Foxburrow Grange Care Home for 2 months now and we feel she is in good hands. Mum says the food is good and the home is always fresh and clean. Whilst it's been quite difficult for Mum to settle in, the staff have all been very kind, friendly and helpful, especially the ones who
work in Badger Unit, they have gone out of their way to spend time with Mum which is greatly appreciated. The Activity Coordinator has been wonderful and deserves a big thank you for doing her best to include Mum in small day to day activities as well as all the Entertainment she arranges.


Communication has been good and whenever there have been any queries or questions on our part, the response has been quick and efficient. So thank you to the Foxburrow staff for everything you do!

Our Mother entered this care home in late January 2022. In researching Care homes in the area, I was impressed with both the physical aspects and location of the building and the room accommodations (Mum's room looks out onto a garden and courtyard) as well as the philosophical approach to caring for
the elderly.


Our Mother has adjusted very well, she participates in many activities and the attention to her physical care is top-notch. The staff are friendly, professional and caring.
I live far away, so don't get to visit yet I feel that our mother is well looked after and the staff are super responsive to any needs we may have. A fabulous place for Mum to be.

My husband went into the home for two weeks of respite care at the beginning of March. However, due to COVID-19 lockdown occurred a week later and he is still there. I was only able to visit him a few times before this happened but I have been in touch with him daily via FaceTime. He assures me he is
happy and well looked after (in fact the staff organised a BBQ for his birthday, with numerous gifts and cards). If he is in agreement, I would be happy for him to remain there.

Thank you so much for your comments. We had a few birthdays that week, and our chef did a grill outside for both residents and staff by way of a treat for residents and a thank you for the staff. Food was delivered to the wings for everyone to enjoy and the atmosphere was wonderful - a socially distanced celebration for all!
It is great to hear that your husband has enjoyed his time with us so much that he will now be staying on with us.

My mother came to Foxburrow Grange nearly five years ago with the expectation that her life might last three to six months. That she is still with us looking as well as she has been in years (both physically and mentally) is a tribute to the quality of care she has received. The transition from her
own home in the Midlands to Colchester was traumatic for all concerned but the help we received and the time staff took to support us all has led to the current happy state of affairs. Staff have shown tremendous respect for my mother's drive to analyse and question things that are new or might change - as a retired teacher she feels it is her duty to check things out. As well as being very bright and clean, Foxburrow is a friendly place for residents and visitors alike.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.040)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.040) out of 10 for Foxburrow Grange Care 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 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 4.660 for Foxburrow Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (64 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.66

  • 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 4.38 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Foxburrow Grange Care Home is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 69 registered maximum number of service users is 13.8. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.8 = 0.58

  • 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.

Mike Parris

Job Title: Director of Nursing & Older Peoples Services

Joined: 2024

I have worked in care since I was 18 as a carer, then progressed as a senior carer. My desire to make a deeper impact in the lives of those in need led me to pursue formal nurse training in 2004. After qualifying as a Registered general nurse in 2007, I spent four years as a community staff nurse before going back into care homes where I have worked my way through to my current position.

I am dedicated to ongoing professional development, providing continuous education, training, and mentorship to cultivate a culture of excellence within our care facilities. In my role as Assistant Director of Nursing and Older Peoples Services, my focus is on supporting our care home teams to deliver the best possible care for our service users and I’m particularly passionate about tissue viability and end-of-life care, areas where I believe we can make a real difference.
