I have been very happy with the care my husband has received at Mill House. The staff are very welcoming and go out of their way to help. They are very good at sorting out any problems as soon as possible. They always have a smile on their faces. They do an excellent job of trying to interest people
in arts and crafts. They bring special occasions to life by decorating and entertaining.

We found the staff extremely caring and very friendly and supportive, not just for the resident but family also. Always looked forward to going to visit as was always made welcome. Had no complaints, my mother-in-law was well looked after at all times before she sadly passed away.

The staff that we met were very friendly and helpful. Mum seemed more settled than in her previous residential care home. The older building means that rooms were not over spacious but everything was there that was needed.

My mother was a resident at Mill House Nursing Home for ten years and in all that time was treated with dignity, patience and kindness. She was always well fed, kept clean and warm. The staff were always friendly, kind and helpful to me and very considerate of my mother's beliefs. In her early days
at the home, at times, she could be sharp but the staff always handled these occasions with kindness. I thank them for the kindness and care given over the very long time that she was with them.

Mum was only at Mill House for a few weeks, however as a family we were very happy with the care that Mum received. The staff are very hard working and do everything they can to provide high quality care. The staff treated Mum with dignity and respect during her final weeks. All of the staff from front
of house, admin, kitchen, cleaners, maintenance, care assistants and nurses are very professional, hard working and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend Mill House to someone who needed a nursing home. Thank you for all the hard work.

Our mother was in Mill House for just under 2 years and in that time the whole family was made to feel as though it was her home. The staff were always welcoming to us and caring and compassionate to Mum, right to the end of her life. The activities on offer always looked as though they were fun and
we regret that Mum wasn't well enough to participate in these.

On our first visit when we were looking for a home for my aunt, we immediately found the staff very happy, welcoming and friendly and it was extremely clean and tidy.
Once my aunt was admitted, her care was excellent. The staff looked after her very well and always kept us well informed. With the food
also being of a very high standard. They also encouraged her to join in with the activities where possible. We would highly recommend the home to anyone. The staff, from top to bottom, were excellent and could not be faulted.

I was very pleased with the care that my brother-in-law received during his residence at Mill House. At all times the staff were attentive to his needs, ensuring that he was comfortable and safe. The home itself is very smart and well-run, and all the members of staff whom I met were extremely friendly.
I recommend it without reservation.

Made very welcome, every one of the staff very friendly and caring towards my mum and myself. Communication is excellent, carers go above and beyond to help and care.
I don't have to worry when I'm not there I am at peace and know that MUm has the best care and is being well looked after. I have become

My mother had to stay at Mill House while we were getting district nurse care back at home. From the moment I walked in to bring her stuff over I was greeted with genuine kindness of all the staff from administration, reception, housekeeping, maintenance, nursing staff and the carers. The building is
lovely. Her room was beautifully presented, light and welcoming.
My mother was helped by one of the entertainment team to walk daily and really looked after with such empathy and patience. I joked to my mum they’ve made a mistake it’s a boutique hotel not a care home. Mum’s stay was only a few weeks but I would say to anyone who is looking for care of an elderly person that the staff were just genuinely lovely, enjoying the job that they were doing and wanting the best for their residents. I was shown such kindness as well as it has been a very stressful time. I think the team at Mill House are amazing. I can’t thank you enough.

My sister has settled in well at Mill House Nursing Home. She is attending all the activities on offer and enjoying the company of other residents and staff. I can see that her personal care, physical needs and emotional needs are met by genuine, caring staff. They helped to organise video calls with
our brother in New Zealand, and my sister was thrilled.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.914)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.914) out of 10 for Mill House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.914 for Mill House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 163 Ratings = 4.914

  • b) 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 Mill House Nursing Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
