My mother has vascular dementia and has been in Mills Meadow care home since last September. I cannot praise the management or staff enough for the attention they give her and so supportive to me when I have been upset because of how mum is. The place is always so clean and such a happy atmosphere. I have taken several friends over there to see mum and they all remark on what a lovely place it is. I can only speak very highly of the home, brilliant.
Everybody here seems to be very happy, friendly. Activities, fantastic. Staff very helpful and caring.

Since the change in management I've noticed such a change in the atmosphere in the residents and staff. Such a happy place now. Very welcoming and friendly (all staff).

As mum declined both mentally and physically, we were comforted in that we knew she was being taken care of by kind and caring people. This was true to the very end. No matter what time of day we came by, mum was always comfortable, safe and content.

Mills Meadow was a heaven of peace and tranquillity. My mother was happy, safe and well cared for. Although the choice for Mills Meadow wasn't mine, but social services, I had no complaints and if I had the choice it would have been no different. Many, many thanks for everything.
Nobody wants to be in a home but are grateful that when they need it, it is there for them.

Since my father has been at Mills Meadow, the care given to him has been exemplary, kind and loving. The atmosphere in the last three to four weeks has really improved with the changing and renewal of staff. I could not wish for more complete care. Every need is lovingly cared for. My grateful thanks to everyone from management to care staff equally.

I was disappointed with the care I received. Prior to going to into the home I was assessed for my dietary requirements and the amount of care I needed, I do not feel these were provided. I did not have assistance with showering or dressing. The food I need, soya milk, rye bread were not provided until 15th/16th, consequently I had stomach pains for 2 days. Also being vegetarian these meals were non existent, fish was provided. Quantity and quality poor. Staff cheerful and kind but service poor. Food brought by hand and not on a tray table for eating not always "set" properly. I did not consider it value for money, certainly not worth £1000!!!
Thank you for taking the time to review our service. We would like to thank you for your constructive feedback and will endeavour to look into the issues you have raised. A member of the senior team at the home will be in touch with you shortly to discuss with you in person.

Granddad likes it here which is important, we know he is in safe hands and has a laugh and banter with the staff. Such good company for him. Thank you.
Mills Meadow has ticked all the boxes for me as a good choice of home for my mother. The staff, down to kitchen staff, cleaners etc. always are happy and helpful. The home is clean, food is good, a place I would recommend, and if need be, come into.

All the staff are very caring to my sister. The bedroom and bathroom are excellent and kept very clean, all her clothes are kept washed and ironed beautifully. Meals are very good and tasty. My sister gets all the help she needs! Thanks very much to all at the home.

Hi, I’m Julie and I’ve been with Care UK for over eight years, having previously worked as Deputy Manager before becoming Home Manager. Throughout my career, I’ve completed Level 4 and Level 5 qualifications in Supervisory Management. I chose Care UK because of its strong reputation for delivering high-quality, person-led care and its commitment to supporting residents, their families and colleagues. It has given me the opportunity to develop my career while making a real difference to people’s lives.
I believe a Home Manager should be compassionate, approachable and an effective leader. Building trusting relationships, leading by example and always putting residents at the heart of everything we do are values that are incredibly important to me.
My favourite part of the day is spending time with our residents and colleagues first thing in the morning. I enjoy chatting with our early risers over their first cup of tea, catching up with the team and making sure everyone has everything they need for the day ahead. Those moments remind me why I love my job.
Becoming a Home Manager has been the highlight of my career. I'm proud to lead a dedicated team and create a positive culture where residents receive the highest standards of person-led care, and colleagues feel valued, supported and encouraged to grow.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and animals. I love being outdoors, whether it's walking, kayaking or cycling, and I'm also passionate about live music and festivals. Maintaining a healthy work-life balance helps me return to work with the energy and enthusiasm to support our residents, their families and my team every day.
