Could not adapt to losing all my freedom i.e walking unaccompanied, just going out for a short walk to attain some exercise rather than a vegetable in my room. Have lost much mobility here because of lack of anything other than sedentary occupations.

Thank you for your review. Your comments are extremely important to us and our residents’ health and wellbeing is our absolute priority. We will discuss your feedback with the home’s manager to help them continually improve their service.
I visit this home daily and always find the staff helpful. If I have any concerns I know the staff will always listen and help in any way they can.

Mum came from another home where they told us she couldn't stand, walk, take part in activities, go on outings and had to drink from a beaker. Since being at Freelands Croft she has been walking and interacting with everyone. Everybody at Freelands from the management to the carers and housekeeping staff are all amazing and very caring. Nothing is too much trouble, my husband and I are very happy she has found a lovely home.
Thank you for your review. It is so lovely to hear that your mum has improved so much. I hope that she is enjoying the activities and made new friends.
Find the home very good, very clean all together. The food is very good, the staff friendly and good.

I felt very welcome and feel safe. I feel I need more diabetic foods supplied such as custard, cakes, sugar-free drinks such as fruit juices and squash. I feel my family are welcome and actively encouraged to join in the activities.

My Grandad was in Freelands Croft Care Home for just over 5 years, unfortunately, he is no longer with us. It was a hard decision to move him into a nursing home but we realised it was for his own good due to his dementia diagnosis. Our experience of the service they provided was exemplary. The facilities, location and most importantly the staff are excellent. They have provided my Grandad with an extremely high level of person-centred care and they have always provided myself and the rest of my family with the same reassurance that he is safe and happy and is being treated with the respect that he deserved. I cannot recommend Freelands Croft enough. The one thing my Grandad looked forward to was the weekly outings which could be to the Seaside for Fish & Chips or just visiting the local Garden Centre for Afternoon Tea.
So sorry to hear of your loss, please accept our condolences. Thank you for your review and kind words. I hope that in time to come when you look back on the time that your Grandad was with us it gives you comfort knowing that he was safe and happy.

During his stay, he enjoyed the food, environment and entertainment. He was able to occupy the same room for all his 5 and a half years stay.
I am so happy that we chose Freelands Croft Care Home and would strongly recommend it. Many thanks to the management and staff over the years.
So sorry to hear of your loss, please accept our condolences. It is lovely to hear that your father enjoyed all the different things at the home and I hope that you have some happy memories of him while he stayed with us.

As soon as I got to Freelands, I was so welcome from day one until I left after 12 days. Everybody was so helpful and caring at any hour of the day. If there was on the menu I did not like or was able to eat, the chef would bend over backwards to get me something I would like, on odd occasions I would be unable to eat 3 times a day.
All the staff and nurses were excellent, superb. I can't praise them enough for what they did for me. The hairdresser to the cleaners were all so excellent in every department, everybody looked after me well all the time. I am looking forward to the next time I go back for another holiday, it's so laid back that you forget they are the staff who are looking after you. Thank you very much.
We're very appreciative of any feedback we receive and we're very happy to hear you enjoyed your holiday with us and you got a full experience of our home!

I found visiting a bit testing at times, but the support was there if I needed it, but being a private person I kept my feelings to myself.
