Opened in the 1960s and recently refurbished, Freeman House in Letchworth is a residential care home for 48 older people. We pride ourselves on our welcoming atmosphere.

Built on three floors, the home has large bright bedrooms, lounges, fully equipped kitchens and is surrounded by pleasant enclosed gardens. All bedrooms are singles and have telephones and TV sockets. One of the rooms is used for short breaks.

Our modern kitchen provides hot, nutritious meals every day and can cater for special dietary needs by arrangement. There is always a choice of dishes, and residents are involved in drawing up the menu. A couple of days each week, we provide food for two community day centres.

We offer an excellent programme of weekly activities, with regular visits from entertainers, excursions to the local countryside, public events throughout the summer months, as well as special celebrations at Christmas, Easter and birthdays.

Visiting services:

• Two hairdressers – offering appointments three days a week.
• Optician.
• Chiropodist.
• Hearing Specialist.

There is a multi-faith church service held monthly by the vicar of St Paul’s. Visitors are always welcome.

If you are interested in any of the services please feel free to ring the home directly. There is a Service Request form available to download in the “Families” section of this site.

Every Wednesday we run a coffee club from between 10.30am and 12pm for the over 60s, offering a range of refreshments including homemade cakes, and the chance to meet people and make new friends. For further information please contact Kate or Alison at Freeman House.
