Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Freeland House is a fantastic nursing home. The building is grand and imposing and it has the feel of a country house hotel. It has beautiful, well-kept gardens for residents to enjoy and is set in picturesque countryside. The thing that makes Freeland House outstanding is the friendly, patient, kind,
caring and dedicated team of staff that work there. Nothing is ever too much trouble, no matter how busy they are and no matter what pressure they are under. They make a very difficult journey, for both resident and family, much easier to navigate.
Reply from Suzanne Creed, Administrator at Freeland HouseThank you so much for your lovely comments and kind words, we really appreciate it.
We will continue to give our best at all times & it was a pleasure to have looked after Mum.
Thank you once again.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My grandmother moved to Freeland House in August 2021, the care she received was outstanding. Myself and the family were so grateful to the kind and caring staff at Freeland House who looked after my grandmother. Unfortunately her time there was short as she passed away in October 2021. As a family,
we would like to thank all members of staff and management for their support and compassion shown towards my grandmother and to us throughout her time at Freeland House.

Review from Philip L (Son of Resident) published on 12 August 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I write on my behalf and that of my sister. We were both impressed with the level of care that our late father received during the eight months he spent with you before his death. It was a melancholy time for us both, made less so by the cheerfulness of the staff and the knowledge that he was being
so kindly and sympathetically looked after by the care team. We very much appreciated the flexibility that the management team showed, within the covid restrictions, in enabling our regular face to face contact with our father. He genuinely seemed very content in those last few months and the time we were able to spend with him was very precious. Enabling him to meet his latest great-grandson was particularly cherished by us and by his granddaughter. The terminal care he received was kind and loving, yet professional for which we are especially grateful.
Reply from Suzanne Creed, Administrator at Freeland HouseThank you so very much for your review and kind comments. I will ensure your feedback is passed onto the Home Manager and staff group. Thank you once again for taking the time to review us. Best wishes

Review from Pam M (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 19 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum-in-law has just moved to Freeland House. She is now in need of 24-hour care. Alongside my husband, we visited the home, and from the outset, the quality and positive nature of the staff/client relationship was obviously excellent. The deputy manager knew the client's names and was very open about
this home and its goals. She has just transitioned to Freeland House and always we've had positive exchanges about our relatives well being. Every effort has been made to make her comfortable, and she has received the care she obviously needs. Superb start from everyone!

I am always made to feel welcome when visiting my mother and nothing is too much trouble.
My mother is well looked after and treated with care and respect. I am given regular updates on her health and any concerns are discussed.
I would like to thank the home for their hard work and in particular
for tackling the pandemic.
I would highly recommend Freeland House.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my husband moved into the home it was a difficult time during the pandemic because no visitors were allowed. The carers and nurses have kept myself and my daughter informed of my husband's needs, medical and physical, which we are thankful for knowing he is so well looked after. I phone on a daily
basis and nothing is too much trouble and they make me feel welcome when I visit as this is the first time we have been separated in 57 years. Knowing that my husband is in Freeland House gives me great peace of mind.

My mother has had a longer life expectancy at Freeland House than she would have had at her previous care home. The staff are helpful and considerate and although the premises and rooms are not ultra-modern they do seem suitable and in keeping with the age of the current residents. There is ongoing
investment in the new ing for specialist illness management.

Dad has received great care at Freeland House. The staff have been professional, friendly and helpful. He has particularly praised the quality of the food - comparing it to fine dining.

Thank you to the manager and all of her staff for looking after my husband over nearly three weeks before he sadly passed away. The care and compassion and dignity they afforded my husband was exemplary. I thank them for the boundless drinks of hot chocolate while I sat with my husband throughout his
last day. Thank you for your kindness.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.979)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.979) out of 10 for Freeland House 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 8 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 4.969 for Freeland House is calculated as follows: ( (93 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.969
  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 4.01 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Freeland House is based on 8 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.65
    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 111 registered maximum number of service users is 22.2. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 22.2 = 0.36
  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.
