About Us

Freestones Residential Care Home is in Wellingborough, North Northamptonshire. We provide residential care for older people, including those living with dementia and people with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays as well as permanent places. We should raise our rating ourselves rather than let you find it and wonder why we said nothing. The Care Quality Commission last rated us requires improvement overall. We accept the finding instead of arguing with it. An inspection records what was there on the day, and putting it right belongs to us. There is an action plan, the people who commission care from us know exactly where we have reached with it, and any family considering us is welcome to go through the detail with the manager. The daily work of the home carries on. Washing and dressing, medicines on time, meals that are hot and worth eating, and help to move about safely. For residents with dementia we keep routines steady and surroundings familiar, and nothing is moved without a reason. Where a physical disability is involved the work is about equipment, patience and allowing time. If you are considering us for a relative, come and look. Ask the hard questions, ask where we have reached with the plan, and speak to the families who are already here.
