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 90-year-old father was preparing for discharge from hospital, having been prescribed a pureed diet. He was also exhausted and weak from two periods in hospital. My mother lives at Milward House and with a pretty short time frame, we contacted the senior staff at Milward to see if Dad could be...
It had been a difficult period for my sister and myself, who jointly support and care for Mum and Dad, with Dad having to go in and out of hospital so it was wonderful for us to feel assured that Dad was in safe hands and being well cared for and his diet managed properly.
It was our pleasure to help Dad out in his time of need and it has been so lovely seeing him and mum share time together. Thank you for your kind words of recognition. We hope Dad's stay continues to bless him as it does us to see him doing so well.
My mother is very well cared for physically in the home. The staff are well trained and extremely supportive. I am grateful that she has daily Bible reading and prayer at the home. Mum is a Christian and her being in a Christian atmosphere is a top priority for me. It would be horrific to think of...
I am always made very welcome when I visit and am able to have lunch with my mother. This enables me to try to help her eat and also reassures me that she is eating. The staff understand and respect her fear of hospitals, injections and medication which is not a result of dementia but a kind of deeply held preference. I would love to be able to look after Mum myself but sadly I cannot. I'm so thankful for Milward House.
Caring for mum is an absolute joy and it is lovely to see her engage with things at times despite her dementia, no doubt as a result of our 'The Way We Care' initiative and the wonderful work that our team do to try and make sure she is as blessed and supported as she can be. Thank you for the recognition of how the care we offer is so valuable to her and you: as I say it is a pleasure.
Similarly, my sister is over 80 and very disabled and again the loving care she has...
I cannot think of a better place for the ladies, and we thank God for all the staff do for them, they work so hard very often under demanding circumstances.
Thank you for your kind words as we care for two generations of wonderful ladies from the same family. They are both real characters and it is a delight to know and care for them and see them flourish as they live here in 'their home'. It is so encouraging to hear that the love we inevitably develop for those we care for is evident to their relatives, so thank you for that too.
In the month reviewed above, she celebrated a very important birthday where the staff went overboard to make her happy. One could see...
Top marks and thanks to all at Milwards.
Thank you for such kind words and recognition of the love and care Mum receives here at Milward. It was a joy to celebrate her milestone birthday with her and to have you here to enjoy it as well.
Milward is a home that is truly homely. The level of kindness and care delivered by the staff is impressive under any circumstances, but for special occasions, they still manage to go that extra mile. I couldn't wish for better for my mother.

Thank you for your kind words and appreciation of the care shown by the staff here. It is a joy to have mum here living with us and a delight to be able to celebrate special milestones with her too.
The initial assessment meeting with the Business Manager and the Care Manager a couple of weeks ahead of the stay was very positive and the Care Manager carried out a thorough interview....
All the staff seemed very kind and caring.
It is so lovely to hear that your father enjoyed his time with us here at Milward, and that you are pleased with how it went. Thank you for the feedback and encouragement which I will pass on to the team here. We would be very glad to welcome him back anytime.
Next a home visit followed by the care manager to reassure...
Lastly, the beautiful Spanish lady, who helped her settle in, reassured us and was just wonderful throughout. 5 stars and above!
Thank you so much for the kind words, and especially the recognition and appreciation of the person-centred care we seek to offer at all times. Your mother-in-law certainly made fast friends with everyone and seemed to have a wonderful time with us here, so it is good to hear that was the case. We look forward to welcoming her back as and when needed.

My mum who suffers from Alzheimer's and vascular dementia recently returned home from a four-week respite stay at Milward House (two weeks planned and a two-week extension at short notice due to a plumbing emergency at home). We cannot praise the care home enough and would highly recommend it to anyone considering staying there - either as a full-time 'family member' or on respite. All of the staff members we encountered were extremely caring and made Mum feel part of the family in every way from day one. She was even encouraged to stray from her normal 'meat and two veg' diet and as a result she enjoyed a variety of foods which she described as delicious - a real revelation for us! Mum particularly enjoyed the daily devotions and hymn singing and the Christian values and ethos were clearly evident in all areas of her care. The management team are superb and ensure that Milward House is a well-run, safe and happy care home. Thank you so much Milward House!
Thank you so much for such positive feedback and encouragement. It was a joy to have Mum with us and to see her forming such lovely friendships so quickly. If she would like to return at any time, she is more than welcome (plumbing emergency not required!).

Milward House has a very calm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The management are very approachable and the caring staff seem very dedicated and attentive to the residents. My mum has Alzheimer's/vascular dementia and I feel her needs are being met very well. She enjoys sitting in the lounge area with other residents and listening to the lovely music, which is a nice difference from some care homes which have the TV on at near full volume all day. The Christian input is so good with a variety of things going on. The care is truly for the whole person. When my sister visited this week my mum, totally unprompted said how happy she was living there.
Thank you for such a considered and thoughtful review. It is lovely to see mum thriving at Milward since settling in, and even better to hear that she feels it herself enough to say to you and your sister. It is a privilege to get to know mum and see her cheeky sense of humour come out at times. We hope she continues to enjoy life at Milward.
I would be happy to take Mum there again for respite.

Thank you for your kind words and recognition of the family feel that we prize here at Milward. Mum was very welcome when she was here and it was lovely to see her interacting and enjoying time with others in the activities. We hope to be able to provide respite or permanent care for her in the future.

This is an excellent home. Thank you very much Milward House!
It was a joy to have your mother-in-law living with us for four weeks and we hope to welcome her back to the Milward family again in the future.
Mum had also visited the home in the past...
Ideally suited to Mum's generation.
Thank you so much for sharing your positive experience of Milward House. It is lovely to have her as part of the family here, and we are always delighted to facilitate special events like the birthday party and welcome the rest of her family to share these times.
It was hard to believe such a place existed, but it does! Having found Milward House for an elderly friend who could no longer stay in her own home, all our fears and anxieties about her future were put to rest. Obviously, there is the initial adjustment which can be a difficult time but having...
It was hard to believe such a place existed, but it does! Having found Milward House for an elderly friend who could no longer stay in her own home, all our fears and anxieties about her future were put to rest. Obviously, there is the initial adjustment which can be a difficult time but having watched how the care team and management focused in on the individual care needs, our friend soon began to relax and trust. Each day now is a happy, interactive, joyful involvement with friends and staff who have become friends.
Thank you so much for the positive and encouraging feedback. It really is a joy to see our lovely residents open up as they settle into life in the Milward family, and I am so glad that was the case for your (and now our, too) dear friend.
I spent a week in respite care at Milward House Care Home to give my husband a break from caring for me. I couldn't speak more highly of the staff at Milward House.

I spent a week in respite care at Milward House Care Home to give my husband a break from caring for me. I couldn't speak more highly of the staff at Milward House. Although my stay was short, they all went out of their way to accommodate my wishes and needs as they did with every other resident. The home is not modern but kept very clean and tidy with no smells. The staff interact with residents continually and provide a lot of varied activities. The food and drink are satisfactory, balanced and plentiful. I chose Milward because of its Christian ethos and daily devotions which were suitable for the residents. I recommend Milward as a caring, Christian home where the residents are happy and content.
It was a joy and a pleasure to have you with us even for a short time, and we would be delighted to welcome you again.
Thank you for your kind words of praise for the staff team: it means such a lot to us that you felt cared for and valued during your stay and I will be sure to pass on your appreciation.
My aunt has been living in the care home at Milward House for a couple of years. The home itself is not as upmarket as some but, far more important, the care is excellent.

The staff are lovely, the residents are well looked after and there is an atmosphere of calm and happiness. When my turn comes, I hope I’m lucky enough to live somewhere like Milward.
Thank you for your kind words. It is lovely having your aunt as part of the family here at Milward and her joy and positivity overflow to the staff and residents alike.

This was a fortnight's respite stay in Milward House. My Mother had not been in a care home ever before so was a bit anxious but the staff were lovely and really put her at ease. She is used to getting her own meals but not to the longer walk required to reach the dining area but I'm sure it did her good to walk more. She absolutely loved the visits from the Pastor and the communal singing, something she has missed since she can't attend church anymore. I think, given more time, she could have felt like Milward House was her home eventually.
We would be delighted to welcome Mum back at any time should she wish to return.
We are kept well informed about Mum's health. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. They are kind and look after Mum well, one even sitting with her through the night when she was ill. We are very happy with the care given to Mum.

I have found the home to be excellent in terms of meeting my brother's needs. The staff have been very attentive to his needs and the management are very caring and supportive. It is a predominantly Christian home which is ideal for my brother who has always maintained a strong faith. It is not the most modern of homes in terms of facilities but this is more than made up for by the caring and loving atmosphere.
Thank you for your great review - it has been a pleasure getting to know your brother and the family over the last few weeks.
