The level of care and support my step father received was second to none. Every member of staff always showed kindness especially to mum and the rest of the family. We could not have asked for more support especially at the end. He was able to pass with dignity love and understanding. Thank you and
love to all the Millbridge staff.

Everyone at The Knolls shows care and compassion. The atmosphere at the home is relaxed, warm and safe. The staff are all, without exception, professional and kind, they know the residents well and know how to respond to them. It is an enjoyable experience to visit my mother who has fun there and speaks
so highly of the staff.

My father has bad dementia which makes him a difficult patient to care for. However, the staff and management at The Knolls provide excellent care with a caring, cheerful and professional approach and have supported us all very well. We are very grateful. The home is beautiful and the decor and activities
are well thought out for dementia patients. My father enjoys the food too.

Mum has settled in really well and seems to be very content and happy.
The staff are fantastic and support Mum extremely well. They are respectful and most importantly adapt their approach to support Mums ever changing needs.
Although it was a difficult decision for us to make, we feel that moving Mum into the Knolls was the best one for her.

My mother-in-law initially moved to the care home for a short respite stay following a hospital discharge in February, however, she settled in so well that we made the decision for her to stay permanently - and we've never looked back.
The care she receives is truly excellent. The staff are incredibly
caring, attentive, and always listen to her individual needs. They are friendly, kind, and consistently go above and beyond to ensure she feels comfortable and valued.
Whenever we visit, we're always made to feel so welcome. There's a warm, homely atmosphere that feels more like a family than just a care facility. We're so grateful for the support and compassion the team shows every day.

I entered the home as rather a run down poorly person and was restored over the following months to be well enough to leave. I contribute this to the all round care from the staff in the home. They are cheerful, which at times
must be very demanding with so many residents with different needs.
In my case I cannot speak more highly of all the staff.

My father was a challenging resident at first, but as he became less anxious and confused I believe that he was as happy as it is possible to be in his situation, and The Knolls team deserves a great deal of credit for that.

My husband went to hospital after a fall at home in May 2023 and after a while they sent him to Millbridge - approximately 28 miles from where we live and as I don't drive I asked social services to find him somewhere nearer. He settled in well and truly appreciated all the care and support the staff
have given him since his arrival there in November 2023. He died at Millbridge on the 14th of June 2024, and I shall ever be grateful to the staff there for all the loving care he received.

My dad lived at the Knolls for about two years after my mum could no longer care for him at home. It was a heart-wrenching decision as a family to take this step but my mum just could not manage any more. From the second we arrived we were surrounded by empathy, understanding and compassion. The whole
team of staff from the managers, the reception team, the cleaning staff, nurses and carers and the entertainment team provide an exceptional service that is more like a family than a care home. I have been blown away by the love and care they have not only given my dad but also the care for my elderly mum who visited most days. Sadly my dad recently lost his fight with Parkinson's but the staff were with us to the end. When you are going through the saddest time as a family, despite all their duties they still found time to give us a hug when we needed it. I will never forget what they have done for my mum, my dad and our family and just want to say a massive thank you to you all.
Reply from Dawn Bishopp, Registered Home Manager at The Knolls Care Centre
Thank you so much for your kind words. We will all really miss your Dad as he was a huge part of Home life. You and your mum will always be welcome to visit, and I'm sure the residents would love to see you.

As a family we felt so guilty about taking her independence away, we looked at several care homes but were instantly smitten by
the caring, loving and homely feel of the Knolls.
It was a bumpy journey to start with as Mum kept wanting to go home and we as a family needed to adjust as well, the team at the Knolls were brilliant and kept reassuring Mum and us, any issues with her and we were informed straight away.
It's Mum's home now and we class the team as our family.
They organise activities which are good fun and we know that when we aren't visiting she is in safe hands.
A massive thanks to everyone.

This is a wonderful care home, especially for those with dementia. All the staff are warm, understanding and caring, definitely check it out if looking for support for an elderly relative. The location of this care facility is perfect with a sweeping driveway and a large garden to enjoy when the weather
is nice. Lots of activities are organised and food is very good. Nothing is too much trouble.
