Review from Janet K (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 December 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fridhem is, without doubt, the best Care Home I have ever visited. We were so lucky to secure a place for my Mum there. She had told me if she ever needed to have full time care then Fridhem was the only place she wanted to go.
From day one I felt she was treated as if she was the most important person
there. Whatever she wanted, the management and the amazing staff did everything they could to ensure that she got it. It's hard to find the words to express just how kind, compassionate and empathetic the staff are. The last few days of Mum's long, amazing life were not easy. I was comforted in the knowledge that Fridhem had ensured everything needed to keep her safe and comfortable was in place.
Mum was treated with kindness and dignity to the end. Staff genuinely cared. It's impossible to "fake" such affection, care and compassion.
The genuine compassion shown to me throughout is something I'll be forever grateful for. They made some very difficult days a little more bearable.
Reply from Angela Bailey, Manager at Fridhem Rest HomeThank you for these kind words, the staff care greatly and certainly work hard for all the residents. It was a pleasure to look after Mum, i pleased she was where she wanted to be. I am also grateful we helped you through a really tough process. Many thanks for choosing us, you take care of your self.

From the moment I walked in the door, I could tell that this home was an ‘exception’ to the general expectations of a care home, in a very positive way (and I have visited many others). Fridhem Rest Home is as near as you can get to a ‘home from home’, and the staff clearly take the time to get to know
their residents, and care for them as individuals. In my opinion, as we were not in a position to have my father at home with us, he could not have been in a better place to end his long life. The care that the staff gave to Dad and his family in the last weeks of his life was second to none. He was treated with such respect and dignity, particularly in his last few days, and I cannot express how much this meant to me, both as his daughter and a health care professional myself. I will forever be grateful to the wonderful team who shared his life for the last few months, and as he said himself ‘if I have to be in a place like this, I don’t think you’d find a better one anywhere’.
Reply from Angela Bailey, Manager at Fridhem Rest HomeThank you, it was a pleasure and a privilege to look after such a lovely man.

Both our parents have been residents in Fridhem and we have always found the staff to be thoroughly professional, kind and fully focused on the residents' welfare. The pandemic obviously presented many challenges, but we were always reassured by the level of support and caring provided. When our mother
passed away last year the staff were very sympathetic and supportive, especially to my father and helped him, my sister and I through that difficult time. For this and the continued care provided to my dad, we are extremely grateful.

Review from Charlotte L (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 25 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can not recommend this home enough. My Nan had vascular dementia and arthritis. She was previously in a previous care home for a few months. It was so disappointing like a mini hospital and no activities to help keep her mind active. This home was then recommended by word of mouth. What a difference
Fridhem made to the last two and a half years of her life. She was so much happier. It felt like a home, not a hospital. My Nan got back her old spirit and cheekiness. The way the residents were treated was with respect and kindness. I witnessed genuine warmth and care from all the staff. The care they gave my Nan was exceptional. When my Nan was in end of life care a member of staff spent half the night on the phone fighting for a doctor to sign off on a driver which she needed making sure a nurse came out asap. We were allowed to visit night or day this was all just after covid rules had changed so the home had been run ragged. She was kept clean and comfortable. Our Superheroes.
Reply from Angela Bailey, Manager at Fridhem Rest HomeSuch a pleasure and a lovely lady to have looked after. Always had a smile, we often remember her. Thank you for your kind words.

Review from A P (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 May 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The care staff at Fridhem are great, they make the home welcoming and friendly. Unfortunately, we found this excellence in standards of care wasn't replicated when it came to the organisational practices of the home, involving families in care planning, and notifying us of changes in our mum's health.
The
latest CQC inspection report for the home sadly bears this out in the fact that safety and management were deemed as 'requiring improvement'.
We do not feel, having experienced ourselves upsetting experiences at the end of our mother's life, that the home's end-of-life policies and procedures are robust enough. We found Fridhem care home to be reactive, not proactive, and totally no planning. They were reluctant to call out of hours.
The home were found to be at fault by the Local Government Ombudsmen of having neglected the personal care of our mother. The complaint decision can be found on the Local Government Ombudsmen website.
Reply from Angela Bailey, Manager at Fridhem Rest HomeA CQC inspection and an ombudsman's investigation has been completed, their full reports are published public documents and can be reviewed on their websites. In both cases we were found not to have been neglectful in the end of life care of this lady.
Unfortunately CQC did say we required improvement but it was not around our policies and procedures or our reactions to dealing with a resident in declining health.
The ombudsman also found no fault other than one personal care issue for which an apology was issued and accepted by the family.
The staff and management have worked and continue to work incredibly hard in very difficult and unprecedented times of the last two years.
I am proud of what we have achieved and what we continue to with the high standard of care we continue to deliver to all our residents and families.
We have in place strategies to validate our actions , and constantly monitor with audits all factors relating to the management of the home.

Amazing home. I cannot thank the staff enough for the care that they gave my aunt during her entire time there and especially her last days. I cannot fault them and am so grateful for everything that they have done for both my aunt and my family at such a difficult time.
Reply from Helen Marshall, Manager at Fridhem Rest HomeYour Aunt was a lovely lady, we were so honoured to look after her right till the very end. Thank you for your kind words and all of the support your family has given to us at Fridhem Resthome.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.200)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.200) out of 10 for Fridhem Rest Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 5.000 for Fridhem Rest Home is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5
  2. 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 3.2 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fridhem Rest Home is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 = 3
    2. 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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 5 = 0.2
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
