Questions families ask
Do they offer a trial period before moving into the home?
Yes. An assessment takes place before admission, followed by a 28-day trial period to review whether the home is suitable.
Can they care for someone with dementia?
Yes. Staff receive dementia training and understand residents’ needs, although care requirements are reassessed as the condition progresses.
Can residents bring pets into the home?
No. Residents cannot bring their own pets, although relatives can visit with pets and the home arranges visits involving animals.
Are there visiting time limits at the home?
No. Visitors can spend as much time as they wish with their relative and can also attend entertainment and other events.
Can residents bring personal belongings into their room?
Yes. Rooms are furnished, but residents can bring personal possessions such as photographs, ornaments and other sentimental items.
How much does Freshfields Residential Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Freshfields Residential Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Havering council paid on average £1,190 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
