difficult residents. That is what makes a good home. Don't look at the fabric - look at the staff. On occasion communication with me could be better but I always know my wife is being taken care of. I could not submit this without rating food and drink but I cannot honestly give a rating for food as I have only ever had three meals at Millway.

activities for them to take part in if they wish to, and also trips out for those who are fit and well enough. There are also many excellent and talented entertainers who visit on a regular basis.

a home.

The staff are always friendly and caring. The Manager Claire is very approachable and Jo on the reception desk is always smiley and really helpful. My Mum enjoys the food and there is plenty to eat! The activities are varied and Sarah and her team work hard to ensure there are interesting things to do. My Mum has her nails done each week and very much likes the weekly church service by a local vicar/curate in the home. The communication with families is good and I receive regular phone calls from the nurses asking for feedback about Mums care. Millway House looks good and always smells nice and clean. I would say it's a really good home.

their role may be. The home is kept clean and tidy, although there are signs of wear, and the single lift is very occasionally out of commission. Family members are always communicated with in a timely and polite manner.

behaviour recently when staff were understandably unable to take him out, and his reluctance to shower regularly. He has been encouraged to express himself, whether verbally, or in the activities he has engaged in. It warms my heart to see him playing maracas or a tambourine, or to see his painting of a pheasant on the wall. The environment is pleasant and secure. I'm impressed at the organisational aspects of the care home, particularly the ability to share information instantaneously across all staff using electronic devices. I'm running out of space so let me end by saying 'Thank you!'

consistency. Everyone genuinely cares and the relationships built with residents are heartfelt and professional. Kindness exudes from everyone who works there.
The activities are varied, well thought through and carried out with such joy. I fully trust my parents health and well- being to the nurses and carers, who also communicate with us whenever needed and whenever we ask. The carers work hard and manage their workload well, yet make each resident feel special and important. They really take time to get to know each resident and think about their preferences.
The rooms and facilities are kept spotless by the efficient, friendly and kind cleaning staff.
Millway has become our family.
