Brief description

The last key inspection was carried out on 14th November 2007, when Frensham was rated as providing an excellent service, 3 stars. An annual service review was carried out on 14th November 2008, when it was judged that the quality of the service was still excellent.
 
At the time of this Review, a new Manager had been appointed by Stonehaven, but not yet registered with the Care Quality Commission.
 
Frensham House provides care for up to fourteen persons over the age of 65. The service is designed for residents who have some form of dementia or other mental health problem.
 
It is a detached house on the main road leading to the harbour and town centre of Brixham.

Residents are accommodated on two floors, and with access via a stair-lift. There are eight single and three double bedrooms. Four of the single bedrooms are on the ground floor.

 
None of the bedrooms have an en suite toilet. There are five toilets, a bathroom, and an accessible shower.
 
The home has a dining room, a comfortable lounge beside the kitchen, and a small sun lounge at the front of the building.
A sheltered sunny garden is at the front of the home, with chairs and tables provided for residents.

This brief description is an overview of the service and may have been updated since the latest inspection report was published.
