Does Foxholes accept local authority funding?
No. They accept self-funders only and provide guidance throughout the process. They may recommend an annuity to help with long-term care costs.
Does Foxholes provide one-to-one nursing care?
No. They do not provide one-to-one nursing care, but support existing residents with end-of-life care through GPs, district nursing teams, hospital-at-home services and other professionals.
How much does Foxholes Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Foxholes Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Hertfordshire council paid on average £922 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
