Rooted in the Christian faith, life at Milward House supports residents to live fulfilled lives in their later years. They provide excellent, personalised care which supports residents to flourish in older age.
Milward House has an active social life in which residents can take part or follow their own pursuits. They appreciate that each resident has their own individual interests, hobbies and pastimes, and they endeavour to support residents to maintain this important part of their lives. Residents are encouraged to lead the lifestyle that they choose, doing as much or as little as they want - residents can simply choose to put their feet up with a daily paper (by arrangement) or a good book from the home’s own collection.
Their weekly programme includes activities such as board games, annual holiday week, hymn singing, food events, flower arranging, arm chair exercises and craft classes. There are also coffee mornings, clothing and book sales by mobile outlets and visits by local Christian choirs and musicians. A hairdresser visits once a week. A team of ‘Friends’ of the home support and befriend residents by coming to see them on a regular basis. In addition, residents benefit from the involvement in the life of the home from likeminded Christians living in the Retirement Living housing units on site.
Their Christian background is at the heart of both their values and their actions. At Milward House they try to create a community where Christian worship, prayer and support are a core part of daily life. They have morning devotions Monday – Friday, Sunday services, a monthly communion service and monthly Residents prayer meeting. There are a number of churches of various denominations within easy reach of the home.
We accept those who are paying for their own care (self-funders), those who are being supported by the Local Authority, and those in receipt of Continuing Healthcare (CHC) funding.

My Mum who is in her 80's has been a resident at Milward House for a few years now. She had a private flat for a few years then, when that wasn't suiting her needs, she moved into the main care home. She has been very happy at Milward House since her arrival. Her dementia means she's needing more and more care and attention these days, the staff have been fantastic throughout. Highly recommended.
Many thanks for your recommendation and recognition of the excellent staff team we have here at Milward. It is a joy to care for mum and we are so glad that you feel that she is being looked after so well.
My mother moved into Milward House in February 2026 and is still resident there. The process of moving her in was exceptional. Staff immediately made feel welcome and at home. Since then my experience of all the staff and management there has been extremely positive. They are kind, friendly,...
The facilities are also outstanding. Always very clean, tidy and fresh. There are plenty of activities for residents and all seem happy and well cared for.
Thank you for the positive endorsement of the staff team here at Milward and the caring approach we prioritise and constantly seek to embed in all we do.

Thank you so much for such considered and helpful feedback, and recognition of the ethos and practice at Milward House leading to such positive outcomes. It is a difficult time when looking to find a permanent home for a loved one, and we are so pleased that you felt supported during that time. We are even more delighted to see the amazing transformation in mum's wellbeing since coming here and her lovely smile is all the reward we could ask for.
She is really well looked after and is especially pleased to have a named key...
She enjoys many of the activities and feels safe and secure in the environment, knowing that if she has a problem there is always someone to help in a kind and caring way.
Many thanks for the encouraging words of appreciation for the care mum receives here at Milward House. It is a delight to have her with us and see her flourishing.

Milward House has looked after my relative with exemplary care. She has always been a strong willed lady, and had enjoyed independence until her mid-nineties. However, after a fall and then a stroke, we chose Milward because of the very friendly atmosphere, and it's Christian ethos, which chimed with her deeply-held faith. Failing sight, hearing, speech and comprehension meant that she became increasingly difficult. The staff were extraordinary in their love, patience, tolerance and care, particularly over the last year. This was especially important to her family since we all live a considerable distance from Milward, making visits less frequent than we would have liked. We, therefore, had to rely completely on the home to be her day to day family. Thank you, Sid, and all your staff.
She was indeed a formidable lady and a real character, and this only made caring for her through her challenges more rewarding as we got to know her so well. As you say, part of the family here.

We acted as professional attorneys for a lady who had the pleasure of spending her last few years at Milward House. The home was absolutely perfect for her allowing her to live in a kind and friendly atmosphere whilst providing her with the fellowship and opportunity to worship which was of great importance to her. The staff were always on hand to deal with requests quickly and communicated with us well and clearly. We felt that the staff were very attuned to the lady's needs (even when she was less able to communicate them herself) which was very reassuring for us (not being family ourselves). All the staff treat the residents with such a level of care and respect and it was a pleasure working with them.
It was a pleasure working with you to bless the lady concerned during her sunset years. Thank you for all you did to help her as well.
There is a calm and caring atmosphere in the home and a very good ratio of carers to residents which means everyone always receives...
My aunt has a very good relationship with the carers and knows them by name.
Thank you for your recognition of the excellent care she receives and the atmosphere that pervades the home: whilst we experience it ourselves and hope that others do, it is such an encouragement that relatives and visitors can also pick up on it too.

I am delighted to have found this very caring care home for my mum. From the first day of moving in, the management and carers have always taken the time to make mum feel happy, active and safe in her world that has become more and more confusing with her increasing dementia. As a religiously based care home, I have come to realise through her time at Milward House, how important mum's faith is to her. It is clear that ethos engenders fellowship and a wonderful sense of community spirit and mutual respect between the residents which is matched and complemented by the management and staff. Milward House has become mum's home and thank you so much for the care you provide and how you have made that happen.
Thank you so much for your kind words and recognition of the person-centred care we offer, and the value of the Christian support that is so important to our residents. It is a delight to have mum living with us and we are glad that you and she enjoy her being here so much.

My mum was here for around four years after she had been diagnosed with dementia and was unable to look after herself. I was very pleased with the level of care she received. The staff were always welcoming and the carers were very kind, considerate and compassionate. The home itself was clean and it was a happy place. There was a strong Christian ethos and I felt reassured that my mum was being looked after and her wishes were coming first.
Since March 2025 when my mother moved Milward House, my family and I have been struck by the commitment, warmth and trustworthiness of all the staff.

Since March 2025 when my mother moved Milward House, my family and I have been struck by the commitment, warmth and trustworthiness of all the staff. Although the changing state of my mother's health is hard to see, I am comforted by the happy atmosphere and the team spirit that support residents and families alike. Daily activities are varied, such as art, music, baking, visits from the local primary school and quizzes of all kinds. The daily acts of worship are led with great sincerity and everyone is encouraged to contribute. My mother appreciates very much all the effort that the staff go to for her, and especially for the respect that is shown when personal care is required. I am grateful for all the kindness and expertise that staff bring to my mother's life on a daily basis.
Thank you so much for the kind words of encouragement and appreciation. It is a pleasure to care for your mother, and knowing that that we do and how we do it makes a meaningful difference in the way you have outlined is the icing on the cake.
There are frequent activities in the weekday afternoons, although these appear to be mostly indoors. Therefore, there is a concern that residents may not be...
Finally, there is little feedback on a resident's health i.e. are they in bed, have they been seen by a doctor?
We have supper at 5pm due to residents' needs: some have breakfast as early as 5am, so an early supper seems to suit most. Sandwiches etc. are available at any time after this should a resident prefer a later supper, and tea and biscuits are also available...
Many thanks for your detailed feedback.Many thanks for your recognition of the caring and friendly staff which are our greatest asset in ensuring person-centred care.
My relative spent her last 18 months in Milward and her care was good. The home has a strongly Christian ethos and a loving atmosphere. The staff were friendly and kind. There was a good timetable of activities for residents who wanted to be involved.

It was an honour to serve your relative in her final months and we hope that the love and care we offered was a blessing to her and those who loved them. It was a pleasure to see her have so many visitors and the encouragement this brought, so thank you for all the family did to complement the loving atmosphere that we actively seek to create.

I am very happy that I can rest assured that Mum is being well looked after and loved by the staff at Milward. I feel we, as a family, are so fortunate to have Mum in such a great home. Thank you to all at Milward for going over and above to look after Mum and ensuring she is well looked after, happy and loved.
Thank you for sharing such lovely sentiments about the love and care that mum receives at Milward House: we love having her with us.The holiday week 'in Wales' was really good fun and we think everyone enjoyed the special activities and food. I hope you managed to get an ice cream too...

The nearest flushing toilet to my room was up a short flight of stairs which I did not want to attempt in the middle of the night! However the toilet facilities on the ground floor were plentiful and easy to access.
Many thanks for your review recognising the excellent care you received and the kind staff that served you.I am sorry the gluten free bread was not to your expectations, but we were reliant on what we could source from local supermarkets. If you were to return, we would be pleased to know your preferred supplier/brand so we can improve this for you.

My Aunt has been very contented at Milward House especially as it is a Christian home with very caring and professional staff. She always speaks highly of the staff which is a good recommendation from some one retired from healthcare. Whenever l have visited l have noticed what a happy atmosphere, with many activities for the residents to join in if they wish. It is far better than any l have visited in the past.
It is such a blessing to hear that our residents are contented and value the care and personal interactions with the staff, so thank you for that encouragement which I will pass on to the team here. It is a joy and a pleasure to serve your aunt at Milward House.
Despite mentioning on several occasions that we didn't want mother dressed in stained or ripped clothing this happens on...
Mother is settled and happy.

Many thanks for your recognition of the caring and friendly staff here at Milward: the meaningful interactions between staff and residents are the main way in which we can demonstrate person-centred care and it is so encouraging to see mother thrive in this environment.I am sorry that you feel that clothes have been stained or ripped: I am not aware of this myself, so please do chat with me in person when you are next in about your concerns. One reason may be that we enable mother to paint her lovely pictures and paint sometimes gets on her clothes, but clothes are put on clean each morning, even if they then attract marks through the day at mealtimes etc.
Mum spent her last five years at Milward House. Every staff member I met during that time were very professional and so caring. This was a great comfort as I live a long distance away. The home is in a lovely area with a nice park just up the road. I strongly recommend this place.

Thank you for your encouraging recognition and endorsement of the care we provide. It was a pleasure to know your mum, and you and the family, and we trust that the care she received here made a real difference.
I would recommend Milward Houe as a safe comfortable home for any member of your family.

It was a pleasure to have Mum with us for almost five years and to show her Christian love and care that she so appreciated. We were pleased to support your family with an administrative matter recently too: our care extends beyond someone leaving the home here, so it was a blessing to be able to help there.
