My mum was only at Chatterwood for the final 5 months of her life. But in that short time the staff at Chatterwood ensured my mum was well cared for with compassion and dignity. All the staff throughout the home were always so friendly and caring and took the time to get to know her. Would fully recommend
people to consider it for their loved ones.

My mother was in Chatterwood for a short time for end of life care. The staff were all brilliant, with my Mum, and with us family. They were attentive, kind and thoughtful as well as being professional, honest and caring all through my mother's short stay. She sadly passed away on the 3rd June and the
staff went above and beyond to make sure her last days were as comfortable as possible. I cannot fault their care and dedication.

Milkwood House Care Home

from Graham W (Son of Resident) published on 19 June 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We looked at several homes before we came across Milkwood House for our 93 year old mother and we immediately knew it was the right one for her and us.
During the 18 months mum was there, she was always treated with the best care and the staff always took the trouble to interact with her and cheer
her up if she was having a bad day. Her dementia made her tricky to deal with at times but everyone I saw was patient and kind irrespective of her sometimes awkward behaviour!
It turned into the sort of 'home' mum needed and you would be hard pressed to find a more compassionate environment.
I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Reply from Jack Newman, Registered Manager at Milkwood House Care Home

It has been an absolute pleasure to have supported your Mum for her last 18 months. She was a brilliant character to have in the home and will be sadly missed.

My husband was a resident at Chatterwood from mid January until the beginning of April, when we were able to effect his transfer to home so he could be cared for here. The care he received at Chatterwood was extremely good, the staff were kind and caring. There were individual staff members who really
went the extra mile for him, and we are grateful for everything done for him. We would recommend Chatterwood for its homely feel and wrap around care/

My Aunty has lived at Applewood since October 2019. As her needs have changed and condition deteriorated the staff have always adapted to her and still include her as much as possible with visits, activities etc.
Her dietary needs have also changed and this has been well managed.
The home has a friendly
and caring feel to it- speaking as a relative and a nurse I would highly recommend it. Thank you to all at Applewood.

Having arrived at Milkwood feeling rather nervous and sad, I found the staff very friendly, supportive and encouraging. Many of them have almost become my friends I feel so relaxed with them. I am no longer nervous and feel very safe and at home in my room. Sometimes it takes a while to get used to
different accents.

from Jane W (Sister of Resident) published on 7 April 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

From the moment I first visited Milkwood 6 months ago, to assess it for my brother's care, I felt that he and I were among friends. The staff took time to talk about my brother's situation, show me round the home and introduce me to the team (not always true in other establishments I visited !) and
when I explained that I was due to see half a dozen more homes I was assured: "You will know when you've found the right one."
I left knowing that I had.
My brother is comfortable and well cared for. He likes his own space and the staff understand and respect that but keep an unobtrusive eye on his needs nonetheless. They are patient and caring and appear to totally get his sense of humour.
And Christmas lunch was 5-star !!

Mum has been in Milkwood House for 14months now and settled in well from day one. She has a lovely cosy room, with a few of her things from home. She is always encouraged to spend all her time in the lounge- I really value this, as she always has company, even if she is not able to chat much, it means
there is always something going on to observe. The separate dining room with tables of 4, all laid out like a restaurant table makes residents' meal times special. Staff are very friendly to her.

from James s (Son of Resident) published on 1 April 2025
Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mum arrived at Milkwood House in late January. For the previous three years she had lived alone in sheltered accommodation.
She had become very bored and depressed in her flat, really retreating into her shell.
She had broken her wrist at Christmas and following a spell in hospital and respite
care we decided that she required more care and support than she had been getting.
Milkwood was one of three homes we were recommended to. Just reading the reviews showed Milkwood as being the outstanding one by a country mile.
I turned up and was shown around by a member of staff and it was immediately clear that she loved her job. She explained that residents are referred to as family. 'We are all family here'.
Since Mum arrived it has been like night and day. We have not seen her this happy for about the last five years. She is getting involved in activities often with a wonderful member off staff and is regularly on their Facebook page!
Thank You to the manager and the team. Brilliant job all round!

Sadly our mother has dementia and it progressed to such a degree that she needed 24 hour care . My brother & I reviewed a number of care homes and Milkwood came out on top. This was for many reasons.The friendly environment suited our mother and seemed like a home from home .The carers came across as
very committed and dedicated to the job they do. We were impressed with the standards of cleanliness and the facilities. The range of activities available
to resident's is excellent .We know we made the right choice for our mom and would recommend Milkwood without any reservations.

My uncle , "the magician", spent the last year of his life in Milkwood. He was very happy there, in spite of his quickly increasing dementia ,and loved to entertain folks with his amazing card tricks.
The staff were very always friendly and caring and I was always kept informed of what was going on
.
I was immensely impressed by the amount of different activities that went on at Millwood,even though my uncle couldn't always participate in them.
Very sadly he passed away earlier this year but he couldn't have had better care anywhere.
Thank you so much to the manager and your lovely team.
I'm sure wherever his spirit is ,my uncle is still busy doing his card tricks!
