Care & Facilities at Friston House Care Home

We understand that choosing a care home for your loved one can be a very difficult decision, especially if you are unsure of what type of care your loved one requires. Here at Friston House we will spend time with you to explain and answer any questions that you may have regarding our care facilities, and about the care that we deliver and provide. Friston House is a modern building that is regularly updated and refurbished providing facilities for residential dementia and nursing care for elderly frail and clients with dementia. Our reputation in the area is excellent, supported by the feedback that clients and families give to external forums. At Friston House our goal is to ensure that the residents that we care for and their families are happy within the right surroundings.

We are now using handheld digital technology called 'Enable' internally to develop, update and manage our care and life enrichment documentation for residents. We work with one of the UK’s major digital care home documentation providers and have a bespoke platform to manage documentation digitally which aligns with our wish to deliver the highest quality individual care and life enrichment. You will see our team members using hand-held devices as the care plans and life enrichment preferences will be accessed via the device on an App. This will mean that it may look like our teams are using their mobile telephones, rest assured this is not the case and all technology used in the home is there to support our residents and relatives. There are so many benefits in moving to using digital technology to care for our residents, and for the staff working at the home including improving communication and collaboration between teams, increasing accuracy of care intervention recording and becoming more environmentally friendly.
