About Foxearth Lodge Nursing Home

We are Foxearth Lodge Nursing Home in Woodbridge, Suffolk. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment, and we take respite stays as well as permanent residents. Because qualified nurses are here at every hour, a change in somebody's health is noticed by people who already know them and acted on without delay. It also means a resident does not have to move when their condition becomes more complicated, and that care at the end of life can be given here, among familiar faces, when that is what a person and their family want. Dementia care takes up much of our attention, and we approach it by trying to understand the person rather than the condition. Somebody's history, their working life and what they were proud of tells us how to reach them on a difficult morning. When a resident is distressed there is nearly always a reason, and it is more often practical than people expect. Alongside that we work at keeping life here ordinary, with own routines, own belongings and visitors who do not need to arrange it first. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
