Freestones is a family run care home with the highest food hygiene rating of five (very good) and CQC rating (good).
Person centered approach to care in a ” home from home ” environment. We cater for twenty elderly residents.
This smaller number of service users means that highly committed staff are able to give continuity of care and devote proper one to one time with our extended family members.
Freestones is run by the second generation of a family who have years of experience, having moved from a nursing background into residential care.
The family have owned more than one care home and have increased the standards through out, because of this the home enjoys an enviable reputation.
