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.

Rooms can reflect personality and presence.
Residents are encouraged and invited to bring in personal items of furniture and memorabilia in the form of photographs, ornaments & plants. All rooms conform to Social Service, Environmental Health and Fire Regulations

 Every room has the facility to provide digital free view and our two spacious lounges feature crystal clear modern wall mounted flat screen t.v's.
