Milton Ernest Hall Care Home

Pleasant surroundings - helpful and friendly staff. Interesting activities, varied.

Prompt service, today washing done in a day and returned (except for a few items which need a little more drying) and like the precious time I am sure it will come nice and fresh!!! Well done.

My mother has spent nearly 6 years in this nursing home. Here she has been so well cared for (particularly by the home manager who so expertly oversees the care) that she has effectively gained a new home. The manager has always been available and knows how to 'make things better'. She and others have developed sensitivity to my mother's needs coped wonderfully with her deafness (100%) and kept her well. I have been able to gain a personal interview with the manager whenever I have any concerns at all. A brilliant experience.

The staff put so much effort into Halloween. The home was decorated with incredible decorations. The staff had put a lot of planning and efforts to make Halloween a success for both residents and relatives. The staff organised a ghost train up and down the drive with surprises around every corner. The costumes, props and acting were amazing and were enjoyed by both young and old. There was also Halloween treats, face paints and nasty surprised for the kids. Well done to all the staff.

I am very happy with the service my great great aunt receives at Milton Ernest Hall. All the staff are absolutely brilliant and take very good care and pride in their work. Well done! Thank you.

I am so happy with the care my godfather receives, the home is beautiful and I really get on with the staff.

My grandma is very happy here. The staff are very helpful and friendly and the home meets all of my grandmas needs. The domestic staff are always keeping my room nice and clean. Thank you Milton, Great team!

I attended the Christmas Fayre at Milton Ernest Hall with my dear friend who has been living here for the past year. It was a great day and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves.

The staff are excellent, friendly and always there to help when needed. The management always take time to talk to me and have a chat.

The home is beautiful, set on lovely grounds which all can enjoy!

I have the greatest respect for all staff, a great team of people.

In July Milton Earnest Hall held their annual Summer BBQ. This is the 3rd year in a row that I have attended with my mother who is a resident at the home. Each year it gets better and better. The effort made by all the staff is incredible. This year we had the Glen Miller Band, a singer, Urban Safari, Ice Cream Van, Shetland Pony rides, Bouncy Castle, Tombola and a raffle as well as the BBQ, and the sun came out. It was a lovely day for all the residents and relatives to enjoy. I cannot thank the staff enough for the tremendous effort made not only for this event but for their enthusiasm with all the activities they arrange for the residents (and there are lots).

Having good weather to appreciate the lovely grounds the home is set in makes it perfect.

I have known this care home for about 12 months and I can report that it is generally excellent. Well organised, well run with enough staff and management, with an excellent general environment and staff variations. I enjoy going there to visit my wife which I do most afternoons. They provide good entertainment with games and music in the afternoon and there is ample opportunity for such recreation as is feasible for the residents. My wife has been there for almost a year, suffering from dementia and she was relatively content given that she must live in a care home. The administration is really very good as compared with other care homes that I have seen.

What an amazing place! Cannot believe how lucky we were to be able to move our mother to Milton Ernest Care Home for her final few weeks of her life. The care was shown to her and to us as family/other visitors was wonderful. The management was especially helpful and obliging. We wish so much that she could have come here earlier so that she could have enjoyed the facilities available to her, sadly she was bed bound.

Just like to say huge Thank You to all the staff who tendered to our mother's needs with such kindness.

Our true thanks

In the past four years, I have always found the staff to be patient, cheerful and friendly. The activities and entertainment organised are well received. The home itself is clean and tidy and a "bright" place to visit.l The catering is of a good quality and standard.

Mum is very well cared for. She is always clean, fresh and well presented. Her room is bright and cheery. Good home-cooked food and the staff are lovely. Always lots going on, outings and entertainment.

In March 2016 mum asked us to find her a residential nursing care home near Bedford. Although living on her own for the past 35 years, a recent spell in hospital with respiratory problems, many other ailments and a fall resulting in a broken wrist, the need to find the right new home was urgent and decisions needed to be made under pressure. My husband searched the internet to discover a shortlist. A visit to Milton Ernest Hall within 24 hours and an assessment carried out by the care home manager the next week were all positive. The following week she moved in.

The last 2 months she and us have adapted to the change of lifestyle. The whole family is convinced the right choice was made and we are most indebted to all the staff at the home for their sincere and professional endeavors to make this happen. If you have similar problems please visit Hilton Ernest Care Home and see for yourself. My mum is looking forward to the future having had her dignity restored as she starts on her 99th year.

For 6 months in 2014-15 my father was a patient there and was very happy with the care. Just relinquished regular GP visits to home. Feel current staff very caring and supportive.

My mum stayed st Milton Ernest Hall following her discharge from hospital until she passed away (approx 6 weeks). All staff were very kind and caring towards her, to all her family and visitors. We were immediately made to feel welcome and we visited every day that she was there. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone and the atmosphere was always friendly and welcoming.

It's nice being able to get out and walk around the grounds. The staff are all very helpful. Also I like to go out on trips in the minibus.
