My wife and I are so grateful to the team at Freemantle for the expert care given to Mum. We always visit unannounced and without exception find her beautifully dressed and cared for. She is treated with kindness and respect. She enjoys her food very much and it has been good to see that she eats well,
something she had lost interest in prior to becoming a resident at Freemantle. We should say that Mum faces the challenge of being virtually blind as well as having dementia and the team, without exception are wonderful.

Yesterday I went to visit a friend. The home is warm and welcoming. Also, it is clean. The staff I met are friendly and helpful. I met my friend in the Croft Room, painting with other residents. We had a lovely happy visit and included chatting with other residents. Everyone was pleased to meet my little
dog, who prefers the older generation to very young children.
All in all, it is a first-class home.

Whilst Fremantle Court is a lovely building, built to dementia care standard it is the staff who make this a good quality care home. They treat the residents with dignity, respect and kindness. They are always looking to improve both the service given and their own levels of experience and training.
The
manager is thoughtful and caring, seeking to operate at the very highest standards.
It was a pleasure to attend both the fireworks evening and the Christmas Bazaar and to see staff there off duty with their own family.

My father was cared for with kindness and compassion. He was living with dementia and required full-time care including feeding and personal care. His carers and nurses treated him with dignity, taking time to understand his history and his likes and dislikes.
The family were greeted by name and kept
up to date with his daily care and given prompt information about changes in condition. His end of life care was personal and tender and the staff were genuinely upset at his passing.
As a nurse, I couldn't have provided better care myself.

Three years ago my mother in law moved into Fremantle Court. The quality of care that he has received is second to none. So much so that when my dad was diagnosed with dementia we knew when the time was right, Fremantle Court was the care home we would like him to call home.
After only a short time,
he is so content and happy there.
We are delighted.

My mother has been a resident at Fremantle Court for nearly 12 months and despite originally being nervous and there for respite, she felt safe, well looked after and gradually began to realise that becoming a full-time resident would be in her best interests.
The staff are very friendly and caring
and mum now regards Fremantle Court as her home and tells all her friends it was the best place for her.
The manager is approachable as are all staff on duty.
I am very pleased to hear Fremantle Court has been rated as Good by the CQC which I believe is well deserved.

My father-in-law has been a resident of Freemantle Court since June 2019.
The home is well designed, with a light and airy feel about it. The staff have been excellent in making him feel welcome and settled and have been very welcoming to us when we visit. The care and service provided by the home
is second to none, food is first class and the staff work hard to ensure residents eat well and are well hydrated. Residents are encouraged to join the many daily activities or just sit in the well-manicured gardens.

Fremantle Court had their summer party last Saturday, and after days of sunshine, it rained. The hope had been to get all the residents outside but the staff quickly revised the plan, and a great party was held indoors. A great deal of work, effort and thought had clearly been made by everyone concerned
and it was wonderful to see so many residents enjoying themselves. They especially enjoyed the singer and we all joined in rousing choruses of many old songs. There was ample food and drink, colourful decorations, a Western theme, and many stetsons and boots to adorn the staff.
Well done to all concerned, and better luck with the weather next time.

We attended the care home summer party, we found our friend settled and pleased with the care given to him. He made new friends and his spirit was positive. He has decided to extend his stay there. It's a lovely place to stay, the elderly feel safe and welcome and I definitely recommend it to anyone
who is in need of excellence in his care.

Thank you the manager and the team lead by one lady, for looking after my Dad for two weeks respite. Dad had been fairly poorly and lost a lot of confidence prior to coming to stay at Fremantle Court.
Dad was made to feel welcome and was very well cared for. The facilities are great, the standard
of care is very high and this allowed Dad time to concentrate on his health and wellbeing with positive outcomes. The member of staff was extremely diligent and compassionate during my initial visit where I was apprehensive about what was best for Dad and provided reassurance and validation that Fremantle Court was a very good option for Dad.
Thank you, I recommend Fremantle Court 100% to anyone finding themselves in a similar situation.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.523)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.523) out of 10 for Fremantle Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.523 for Fremantle Court is calculated as follows: ( (153 Excellents x 5) + (94 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 262 Ratings = 4.523

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Fremantle Court is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
