From the moment my mother walked into Millbeck she was made to feel welcome and cared for. Despite mother's demands to go home every day (dementia), the staff comforted her and reassured her with great patience and understanding.
I would recommend Millbeck to anyone needing a caring environment for
their loved one.

Throughout Mum's stay in Millbeck, all staff have consistently demonstrated great care, compassion and empathy. At all times, they have supported and encouraged her while patiently respecting her views.
When Millbeck identified additional needs they always listened to and worked effectively with the
specialist medical teams, the District Nurses, the local GP surgery and her family. As Mum's needs increased, Millbeck welcomed her back from the hospital into her calm peaceful home.

Mum-in-law had accessed other care homes, the difference between them and Milbeck is unreal. At Milbeck she is treated with dignity and respect, her care is person-centred. Nothing is too much trouble, the staff are hard-working, professional and friendly and caring. Managers and team leaders are approachable
and helpful. Mum-in-law is given lots of choices for meals and they are presented in a lovely manner, she says the food is nice. The family are delighted with the care she is receiving and are so grateful she was offered a place.

My father continues to receive excellent care at this wonderful care home, where everyone works together as a team to give him the very best support he could have. I visit him regularly and have seen incredible consistency in all departments; everyone seems dedicated to give their best, which is great
for residents. He is happy and content in their care, and I am extremely grateful for all they do.

There are not enough words to say how much our family appreciate all the love, care and compassion all members of staff showed to my Dad during the 6 years he lived at Millbeck and particularly during his final illness. They are a wonderful team and it's been a privilege knowing every one of them.

Mam has settled really well. The staff are attentive to her needs and she enjoys her time at Millbeck. Activities happen each week and mam enjoys the activities. The staff are always available to discuss mam's care and nothing is too much for them. We as a family are really happy that mam is happy and

My mam came into Millbeck from a hospital admission of frequent UTI's. It was a hard decision to make at the time due to COVID and not allowing visitors. However, the staff at Millbeck made this easy due to the care and love shown to settled her in. Staff ensured I got regular video calls with my mam.
My mam enjoyed activities and sitting with other residents. She enjoyed her time in Millbeck and made some great friends.

This is a professionally run care home where staff go the extra mile to make the residents feel at home and comfortable. My mum is not only an old lady but has also lost her sight. It is amazing how all care staff have helped with her needs. As a family, we are delighted with the care Mum gets. All
the staff, from the manager, team leaders, carers, cooks and cleaners are lovely.

We cannot fault Milbeck Care Home in Norton for their care of my mam. Nothing is a problem to them, the staff have an amazing rapport with my mam which shows when we visit. The entertainment during lockdown was amazing, which allowed her family, who are key workers, to continue working throughout the
pandemic. Many thanks.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.868)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.868) out of 10 for Millbeck 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.868 for Millbeck is calculated as follows: ( (253 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 287 Ratings = 4.868
  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 Millbeck is based on 24 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 24 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.
