Planning a move
Visiting and admissions
Choosing a care home is a big decision. We keep the process simple and personal, and we are here to answer your questions at every step.
Moving in
Three simple steps to Freckleton Lodge
1. Talk to us
Call or message us about your relative’s needs. We will explain the care, the fees and the rooms available.
2. Come and visit
See the home, meet the team and have a cup of tea in the lounge. We will show you around and answer your questions.
3. Settling in
We visit your relative at home or in hospital, plan their care with them and with you before they arrive, and help them make their room their own.
Visiting
Visitors are welcome at any time
Once your relative has moved in, there is no need to book. Friends and family are welcome at any time and are welcome to join their relative for a meal.
We ask visitors to bear in mind our mealtimes, so that residents can enjoy their food without interruption:
- Breakfast, 8–9am
- Lunch, 12–1.30pm
- Tea, 4–5pm
There is a dedicated car park for visitors.
What to bring
Clothes, toiletries, and any furniture, pictures or ornaments that will make the room feel like home.
Pets
Pets are welcome by arrangement. Talk to us about your circumstances.
Keeping in touch
Families are invited to a family meeting every three months, and every room has points for a telephone and television.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an appointment to look around?
We recommend calling us on 01772 632707 first, so that we can show you around and make time to answer your questions.
How is my relative’s care planned?
Before anyone moves in, we visit them at home or in hospital to understand their needs, routines and what matters to them. That becomes a care plan written with them and their family, and reviewed as their needs change.
Can my relative bring their own furniture?
Yes. Residents are welcome to bring furniture, pictures and ornaments so that their room feels familiar from the first day.
Is there parking?
Yes, there is a dedicated car park for visitors.
