About Frintondene Care Home
Frintondene Care Home in Frinton on Sea provides residential care for older people. We are a home where the day is comfortable and unhurried, and where staff and residents know each other properly rather than in passing. We do not run the house to a rigid timetable. People get up when they are ready, spend their time as they wish, and eat food that is worth looking forward to, cooked here and adjusted happily for anyone who fancies something else. Help with washing and dressing is given calmly, because dignity is largely a matter of pace and manner rather than policy. Company is available for those who want it, and quiet is respected for those who do not. Some residents like the lounge and the conversation that goes with it, others prefer their own room, the paper and a visit from family, and both are entirely normal here. Relatives are welcome throughout the day and we would much rather hear a concern from you early than discover it late. We encourage families to stay involved in decisions rather than handing them over to us. We also offer respite stays, which give family carers a planned break or support someone recovering their confidence after a spell in hospital. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
