Review from Deborah H (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 March 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was very upset and heartbroken when I was told my mum and dad had to go into a care home. Myself and my daughter went to look around about 4 homes but as soon as we walked into Millfield I knew this was the one for my parents. The home is beautiful and the staff and management are amazing. The care
my mum and dad receive is fantastic and when I walk in it's just such a happy environment and the staff are such a good team and like one big happy family. My parents have been in Millfield for a year now and are very settled. Well done Millfield I would recommend to anyone.

Dad moved into Millfield in September. He was very warmly welcomed although it did take him a while to settle himself in. He suffers from dementia and found the transfer from living alone to all the company and constant activities quite difficult to get used to.
However, the staff are outstanding
the home itself I liken to a 4 star hotel. It is spotlessly clean and the food is excellent!!
All the staff and helpers seem to genuinely care for all the residents and their needs. Our family feel Dad being there has enhanced his life and we feel he couldn't be anywhere better.

From the first time of entering the home to view, we felt a warmth that confirmed the home was the right place for our Mum to be looked after for the rest of her life. She has lived at Millfield now for 9 months and we are so pleased and happy with the care and attention the whole staff take to look
after her.
The home is modern, bright and very clean and cosy. Mum is well fed, well looked after and I would definitely recommend Millfield to anyone.

My mum has been in Millfield since the end of April and we have been really happy with her care and the kindness of all the staff. It was her 91st Birthday last week and we were thrilled and so was my mum that all the staff made her day very special. We spent the say with her having a lovely lunch all
the staff came with a cake and candles and a present they sang happy birthday to her.
After lunch, they had organised and entertainer which mum and the other residents really enjoyed and so did we.
They all had a sing song and sang happy birthday to her. A perfect day with many thanks to all the staff they were wonderful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I received a warm welcome and given a very pleasant light and clean room. The staff were very friendly, introduced themselves and nothing was too much trouble. My only disappointment was the length of time taken to answer the "buzzer" in my room, on the rare occasions I needed to use it. The bed was
changed weekly but I did not see anyone 'clean' (hoover/dust) my room. Perhaps I was expected to do this myself.

My mum is extremely happy at Millfield. All the staff are very friendly and cannot do enough for you. There are activities all the time if you wish to join in. The food has improved a lot since she arrived and if she doesn't want what's on the menu they are always happy to find something she prefers.
It is bright and clean and with a good sized room. With all the various living rooms - there is always a room to suit her mood. I would highly recommend it.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has now been a resident of Millfield for about 9 years.
She has never received anything but the absolute best of care. The staff (many of whom have been at Millfield for the duration of my mother's stay) are unbelievably kind and considerate. They have not only cared for my mother with
respect and attention to personal detail but also for me in the times that my mother's ever increasing dementia has been hard to accept. I would certainly now consider some of them to be my friends.
I would not hesitate to recommend this wonderful care home to anyone.

Mum has now been in the care home for 4 months. On initially going in, she would not join in any activities and stayed in her room other than for meals. The staff continued asking and supporting her to join in and she is now a different person, joining in all the activities and enjoying herself. Relatives
have commented that she is much brighter and chattier now than she has been in a long time.
The food is good and fresh and all the staff I have met are happy, chatty and respectful.

I know my mother is being well cared for at Millfield. She is treated with respect at all times by staff who are friendly, patient and dedicated to the well-being of their residents. There is always a welcome and friendly greeting for anyone who visits.
The food is praised by all - there is always
a good choice of appetising meals on the menu. The food is well prepared and presented.
Entertainments, outings or activities are part of the schedule which make a welcome change for those able and desiring to participate.
Millfield is a lovely place with a homely atmosphere and it gives my brother and me peace of mind to know that my mother, independent well into her 90s and unwilling to leave her home, is happy, comfortable and contented (her words) there.

Millfield continues to provide exemplary standards of care. The same high standards I have witnessed for more than 6 years. Without a doubt, my aunt would have gone into a sharp decline without the high degree of formal attention and affection given to her in this care home.

My sister and her husband are receiving excellent care and attention by a friendly staff. Not sure whether this happens - but could all activities be announced at meal times to draw attention to what's on? I know there are notices but p[eople in wheelchairs can't always see them. It's good to have activities
and important to be encouraged to take part.

My mother had a short respite stay with the view to staying but regretfully it did not work out for her. The staff were very friendly and helpful and tried very hard to make her comfortable. If circumstances change I would certainly consider trying the service again.

I have experience of this home from when my mother spent 2 and a half years there and was delighted that they could take my aunty for respite.
The facilities are second to none, tip top condition, smart and clean. The staff are outstanding and go out of their way to make the residents and visitors
part of their community. Time of day and smiles all round every time you visit - excellent!

After viewing Millfield we felt that it was the right place for our mum. Having waited for a vacancy, we have not been disappointed.
Mum has been treated with respect and had her dignity restored, she is much more engaged and is actually enjoying her days, rather than waiting for them to pass. The
staff are without doubt very caring and respectful and have met needs mum didn't realise she had. In the short time we have been here I have observed many wonderful interactions between staff and residents, who are treated as adults. This is a care home that should be a model to all others.

We initially found Millfield online plus we had a recommendation from a friend. We could not be happier with the facility and how they take care of our mother. The management and staff do a wonderful job and the rooms and public areas are clean and maintained to a very high standard. We would highly
recommend Millfield to anyone without reservation.

Cannot recommend this home highly enough A*. All residents treated as individuals and people. The staff really do care and not only care they respect all the residents. They cannot do enough and not only for the residents but also for the family and visitors- if only all care homes were like this one.

The home is exceedingly clean and it is noticeable that there are no bad odours that sometimes hits you as you enter other care homes. The entire environment is clean, tidy and welcoming. The staff are really friendly and obviously love the work they do in the day to day care of the residents. At meal
times there are choices and even if my mum doesn't like what is on offer on the standard menu she is offered an alternative. There is no "take it or leave it" attitude. The staff are a joy and I know mum is being cared fro in the best care home.

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.
