I can not recommend Millfield enough. After looking around many care homes for Dad we discovered Millfield and we knew straight away that this would be the perfect one. It’s so clean, the staff are all so lovely and professional and nothing is too much trouble for any of them. We knew that Dad would
be well cared for and that’s all we wanted to know that he was in a safe, clean environment. Millfield welcomed my dad straight away like he was one of the family. Everything was done for Dad, he didn’t need to worry about anything, he loved all the staff. My dad was in Millfield just over two years and sadly passed away in there in January 2020, throughout he was treated with dignity. My dad loved the activities/entertainment the home put on and also the outings they took the residents on. The homemade food and cakes Dad loved too, everything is made fresh. We know that Dad's time in there was spent in a loving and caring environment. We couldn’t have asked for anything better for him.

My mother has been in Millfield since 2012 and she had previously lived alone with a lot of help from myself. After a stay in hospital, it was decided that she could no longer live alone and I looked around Millfield and was very impressed with the home. I feel confident that she is well looked after,
all the staff work really hard, she enjoys all her meals and she enjoys going on outings arranged by the home. I am so pleased that she got a place at Millfield.

This care home has a hard-won reputation and in my families view quite rightly. The manager has a team she can depend on. My mother was in Millfield for two years after she had been in respite in Millfield the year before after a heart attack. The care home is quiet and sedate, comfortable, very clean
and the food is fresh and plentiful. Family and friends are made welcome and are always offered a cup of tea or coffee with a slice of freshly baked cake. (the catering staff can't half bake). After I asked for mum to be transferred from hospital back to Millfield for her final hours the manager and her team provided care to the highest standard and made a very difficult time a little easier. I would urge prospective residents to give this home a go, you will not be disappointed.

My mother, aged 92, moved into Millfield in December 2018 following a serious fall. Initially, we were very concerned about her well being, as she had always lived independently. However, our concerns were unfounded. My mother is very content and although she chooses to spend a lot of time in her room,
sitting at the window, she enjoys going to the dining room for all her meals, meeting up with other residents.
Every member of staff on every level has always been courteous, helpful, caring and kind. She feels very supported and cared for.
When she has required medical attention, it has always been dealt with quickly and efficiently without our need to bring it to attention. All her needs seem to be met and if any concerns arise, we are able to talk to staff for a satisfactory result. As a family, we are delighted with Millfield and can't recommend it highly enough to others.

Millfield is a very clean, pleasant care home.
The staff are excellent and they show a great amount of care for the patients.
My husband, who is a retired solicitor, during his time in practice visited many care homes and Millfield is top of the list. We would highly recommend it.

The first time I visited Millfield it was following a recommendation from the friend of a friend. I knew as soon as I entered that I wanted mother to be cared for there. She moved in following a hospital stay in March and has settled well. Her room is lovely and kept immaculate. She has her hair done
every Thursday and nails on Wednesday. The activities arrange and visitors for the residents keep them entertained. I am very happy with the home and have nothing but praise for all the staff. I know my mother is very well cared for.

My elderly male friend moved into Millfield early March 2019 having lost his wife in June 2018. He settled in immediately, the staff were so friendly and supportive eager to gain knowledge of his likes and dislikes. I am so confident in his care I do not feel I have to visit every day to ensure he
is ok. His personal care is of the highest degree and he is very happy and settled.


His room/bathroom are excellent - I could stay there myself and as for the food - everything cooked fresh daily - he has not stopped eating - in fact I have had lunch there myself.

My mother has been at Millfield since August 2017 and I feel she couldn't be in better hands. As soon as I walked into the building I was impressed with the feeling it gave and I have been fully satisfied with the care my mum has recieved. The staff are friendly, efficent and always make themselves
available. The accomodation is clean and very well kept. The food is well prepared and offers a good choice.
I live abroad and so it was vital to find a care home where we could be completely confident. I have never have any reason to doubt my choice. My mum's frail condition means that she was in no condition to make the choice herself but she has always felt safe and comfortable in Millfield.
Well done to all the team!

My friend moved into Millfield for respite care following a period in hospital. He was very weak and family and friends were very worried about him. What a difference Millfield has made to his life! The initial move was handled seamlessly by the team at Millfield. Within a couple of days from the initial
enquiry, he was comfortably settled, safe and snug in a delightful en suite room. Practicalities of Doctors, prescriptions, assessment of needs etc. were all carried out in a timely and efficient way. He spent a very Happy Christmas at Millfield and has decided not to return to independent living. All the staff at Millfield understand his needs and ensure that they are all fully met. He is treated with care, dignity and respect at all times. He is now well on the way to recovery and enjoying life once more. This can be attributed to the staff at Millfield who really do make up a wonderful team. Family and friends now have peace of mind. A marvellous place!

My parent moved into Millfield approximately 15 months ago and since then the family have felt secure in the fact that they are getting the best possible care with the respect that they deserve. Millfield offers excellent accommodation with each resident having their own ensuite room. They are given
first class food, attention, and are encouraged to take part in the many activities that are on offer.

An excellent home. The caring ethos and atmosphere at Millfield is a credit to all the staff. The home is beautifully clean, and the food is excellent. Staff are always polite and happy and the care they show towards the residents is evident. When mum moved into Millfield we were very concerned that
she would find it difficult to settle and be very upset at leaving behind her beloved dog “Oscar” an eleven-year-old Spaniel who had been her constant companion. Seeing this, the staff at the home suggested that Oscar move in as well and even implemented a care plan for him. They could not have done more and knowing just what Oscar means to mum we can’t thank them enough. Mum and Oscar have just spent their first Christmas at Millfield and it has been a lovely experience. Staff have gone above and beyond to ensure that everyone has had a lovely time, the effort they have put into everything from organising events, special meals and decorating the home is a credit to them all. Thankyou Millfield

My friend was admitted to Millfield in a very anxious state, but over the months we have seen a steady improvement. She is eating well and has commented that the food is good. She is joining in some activities and this is good considering she is a very private person and very much a loner. We are very
pleased with the atmosphere in Millfield and the way all residents are treated with the utmost respect. Thank you to all the staff.

Placing a loved one in care is never an easy choice though Millfield has exceeded all my expectations with their treatment of both mother and the family alike. The home is first class both in terms of cleanliness both more importantly with regards to a caring ethos. They could not have done more to
accommodate and the transition has gone very well. Mum is now looking and feeling so much better a true testament.

I came to visit my life-long friend for the first time on her 80th birthday party. I travelled up from Devon for this occasion. I was very impressed by the care and attention given to the residents. I had lunch with my friend and found the food excellent - superb soup. The staff were so helpful in every
way in preparing the room etc for the party.
We had a wonderful time. On the next day, my friend and I were given permission to use the piano in the dining room. We had a great time.

This care home is excellent. All aspects of provision are good from the food, to the warm welcome to the care itself. My mother has settled in very quickly and is happy in her home. The activities are given a high priority and are of good quality. I enjoy visiting my mother at Millfield, it feels welcoming
and homely and staff are friendly and responsive.

My own and Dad's experiences so far have been all positive. My Dad was at a very low ebb on arrival after difficult times in his previous care home. He is now much happier and content thanks to your wonderful staff, who look after him with care and dignity. He appreciates all your help, although sometimes
forgets to show it. A special thanks to his key worker and kitchen staff for looking after us both on many occasions.

Such a care home must at all times have a friendly and approachable staff. This is most important. This is achieved here.


I believe my mother is in good, caring hands.


I particularly like the gardens and summer house.


Well done to all.

Our uncle is very happy at Millfield and settled instantly after a long stay in the hospital, then just over a week in another care home. The staff at Millfield are so professional, caring and always smiling. The food which I have tried myself is excellent. There are varied activities daily. We can
visit any time of day and all staff are hospitable, the home is very clean and always tidy. We visited lots of homes before visiting Millfield but as soon as we walked in we knew this was the right place for him. We know the level of care he will receive the best and he is secure and safe in a very homely well decorated fresh smelling caring environment.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.927)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.927) out of 10 for Millfield is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.927 for Millfield is calculated as follows: ( (500 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 534 Ratings = 4.927
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Millfield is based on 45 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6, which has been reached with 45 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
