Foylebank Care Home
Discover bespoke residential care from a highly trained care team in our welcoming care home.
We provide a safe and home-from-home environment within a real village community. Foylebank is situated in the heart of Chaddesden, a quiet residential area on the outskirts of Derby.
We provide high-quality residential, respite and dementia care for older people, including those living with dementia, sensory loss or mental health care needs. As your situation changes, so does the level and type of care we deliver. Our team are specially trained to provide as little or as much high-quality care you need.
There are several lounges and dining areas throughout the home, plus an idyllic courtyard with plenty of outdoor furniture to sit out on sunny days with a cup of tea. Our garden is a great spot for BBQs and garden parties in the summer, which our residents and their families love.
Social activities
We place great emphasis on social activities and maintaining the type of life you have had at home, whether that is a quiet and relaxed lifestyle or an active lifestyle.
Treat yourself to pamper days at our on-site beauty and hair salon or relax in one of our roomy lounges where you can chill out and have a good time with friends and family.
We welcome all sorts of musical entertainers, you can even get involved with instruments and percussion!
We’re passionate about arts and crafts, spending afternoons drawing, painting, and exploring various creative mediums. It’s not just about creating beautiful pieces but fostering a sense of community, encouraging collaboration, and celebrating your unique talents.
Dining
At Foylebank Care Home you will be served freshly prepared home cooked meals by our team of expert chefs. They ensure all our meals are healthy, nutritionally balanced and, most importantly, locally sourced wherever possible. Meals are served in our superb dining room, but you also have the option for food to be served in your room for a more private dining experience.
Nutrition is an important part of the care we provide. That’s why our catering team take time to get to know your likes and dislikes before putting together a vibrant and varied menu for you to choose from.
Bedrooms
There are 35 single bedrooms for people living at Foylebank Care Home across two floors. Most of our rooms have ensuites, but the ones without, have a washbasin in the room and an accessible bathroom nearby. Some of our rooms have stunning views of our garden.
The bedrooms are a blank canvas for you to personalise with your own photos, pictures and furniture to help you feel at home. It also helps our care team understand what’s important to you, help in building a warm relationship.
Gardens
We have a lovely courtyard with vegetable patches. It is a great spot for BBQs and garden parties in the summer! We believe it’s important to be able to access nature, both for mental and physical stimulation, and doing this is easy and safe in our secure grounds.

I visited my aunt for the second time in this home. The atmosphere in the home is extremely friendly, and you feel welcomed as a visitor. My aunt seems really settled and well cared for. All her needs seem to be met. The appearance of the home is really impressive – all areas are clean and fresh. There are always a number of staff, all of whom are very friendly, to help with residents’ needs.

My mum was admitted for respite care initially for four weeks but is now living there permanently. They made all the family welcome and have taken excellent care of mum. Nothing is too much trouble and the staff care so much for the residents. It is lovely to see how they interact, respect and treat them as they would there own family. It is run so well and they ensure that everyone is given has the chance to take part in activities and are included in whatever is happening. They have given support and reassurance to our family at a time of great difficulty and we could not be more grateful.

We found the home to be a well-run and caring place. Our mum received excellent care and was always very happy, the staff took the time to engage with residents and visitors and a wide variety of activities was provided to enhance her well-being. All this was possibly due to the great team, good leadership and training, I hope they continue to keep up the good work.
