About Freelands Croft Care Home
Freelands Croft Care Home is a nursing home in Fleet, Hampshire. We are registered for nursing care, which means qualified nurses are here around the clock rather than visiting, and that is what allows us to take people whose needs a residential home could not safely meet. Most of the people living with us are older adults, and a large proportion are living with dementia. We also support younger adults whose health needs call for nursing. Coming here is rarely anybody's plan. It usually follows a fall, a hospital admission, or a long stretch in which a husband, wife or daughter slowly realised they could not keep going. We try to meet families at that moment with some tact, and we do not ask anybody to repeat their whole story to four different people. The nursing is careful and unhurried. Medicines, wounds, pain, pressure care, eating and drinking well, and keeping close enough watch on each resident that a change gets picked up early. Beyond that we are mainly interested in whether somebody is comfortable, whether they are bored, and whether they have seen the people they love this week. Respite admissions are available as well as permanent places. Our overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Come and look round, and bring the questions you are reluctant to ask.
