About Fridhem Rest Home

Fridhem Rest Home is a residential care home in Kings Lynn, caring for older people from across west Norfolk. We provide permanent residential care and planned respite stays, and we support residents living with dementia alongside those who simply need a hand with daily life. We aim for a home that feels domestic. Meals people look forward to, a garden worth sitting in, familiar faces and enough time in the day for a proper conversation. Residents keep their own routines as far as they are able, and preferences about food, bedtimes and company are treated as decisions rather than requests. For residents living with dementia, we work from life history. Knowing a person's trade, their family, their habits and what they have always found comforting tells us more about how to support them than any general guidance. When someone is distressed, we look for the cause instead of reaching for a standard response. We should be direct about our last inspection. The Care Quality Commission rated us as requires improvement. We are working through the findings rather than explaining them away, with closer scrutiny of care records and risk assessments, more structured supervision for staff and clearer checks that what we plan is what actually happens. We would rather tell you that openly. Please visit, ask us hard questions and speak to the people who live here.
