The staff at Millbridge are simply outstanding. They are professional, capable, kind and caring and knowing my mum was in safe hands gave us peace of mind at a time when we needed that most. We overheard them dealing with a very challenging resident in the care home and never once did we witness anything but respect and kindness. When my mum was nearing the end of her life, we were shown the utmost kindness with staff going the extra mile to help us through a difficult time. Great leadership has helped build a positive, caring culture radiating warmth throughout the home.
Thank you so much for the really positive and kind words, it really is lovely to get positive feedback and means a lot to all the staff.

We were unable to visit Milllbridge Care Bridge prior to Mum going in, due to Covid restrictions, and Mum would only agree to the initial stay of 2 weeks of respite care. From the moment we arrived, we were extended a very warm welcome and immediately felt at ease. Mum stayed at Millbridge for over 5 months and during that time she was made to feel part of their "family", and us too. She was given such loving care and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. When mum sadly died, she was given the ultimate respect and dignity and we were so fortunate to be able to be with her. The staff have since been a source of comfort to us and we know that Mum ended her life being loved and cared for alongside her own family. Thank you to each and every one of you.
Thank you for your kind words Julia, it was a pleasure to care for Mum and we all miss her and yourselves.
My mum was a resident in Millbridge Care Home for 8 months. We were very happy with the home, she received great care and attention from the staff and made the last few months of her life very comfortable. Thank you so much.

Thank you Kay for your kind words, it was a pleasure to care for your mum.
My mum was only in Millbridge Care Home for eight months. During that time she was happy and well cared for. The staff went above and beyond to care for her and be friendly and happy at the same time. A lovely care home on gorgeous grounds.

On the 18th of June, I had a full hip replacement performed at the hospital. I decided before the surgery to have convalescent care for 1 week. I contacted Millbridge beforehand and spoke to the manager who made me feel very welcome and said Millbridge would be able to accommodate me for this...
Thank you to you all, very best wishes.

Dad was in the coach house for approximately 10 months. Before lockdown, I was able to visit whenever I wished and Dad was always smartly dressed and the room clean and tidy. Most importantly the staff at Millbridge are marvellous. Sadly Dad passed away on 21st November 2020, luckily we were able to spend time with him during his last weeks and the care he received was second to none. Dad always smiled whenever any member of staff came into the room, which speaks for itself. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure to care for him.

Thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure to care for your dad, he was a true gentleman.
After a severe stroke, my late wife spent about 18 months in Millbridge. She received excellent care and attention. I visited or phoned every day and the staff were very pleasant and kind to me. Very important for my peace of mind in particular during lockdown when I couldn't visit.

The last thing our mum wanted was to go into a 'home'. However, when the need arose, I am glad she was able to stay at Millbridge. The room was lovely, fresh and airy, and Mum was cared for in the best possible way, professionally, considerably and attentively. The food was beautifully prepared and fresh. Mum settled quickly and was happier and content, and I can't say thank you enough to all the wonderful staff here.
Thank you for your kind words; we really do appreciate it.

My mum was taken to Millbridge Care home for palliative care. The care she received was far in excess of my expectations. Care, support and dignity were exemplary and all the staff were professional, caring and cheerful at all times. I always had the feeling that whether I was present or not, she would receive top rate care that would always go the extra mile! My family spent a lot of time there - sometimes overnight - and we were constantly being offered food, drinks and care to keep us very comfortable.
Thank you for your kind comments, the staff and I really appreciate it.
The care and compassion shown to my mother and the family was wonderful, everyone was so good and nothing was too much trouble.

After Mum had a nasty fall and a year in and out of hospitals and care homes for respite, she arrived at Millbridge in September 2019. The care she has received from the staff there has been incredible. I feel that each and every one of them have taken the time to get to know Mum's likes and dislikes. The room is kept lovely and clean and unlike other care homes, smells lovely. Mum is allowed to take pride in herself still, with the help of the staff, who match her outfits daily! Nothing is too much trouble. They have a hairdresser who comes on a Monday and she can have her nails painted too. Having always cared for Mum, it was difficult to let go of my responsibilities. Knowing Mum is being cared for as much as she is, I find I can relax and enjoy quality time with her now. I always said I would never put my mum into a care home, but she is very happy there and I am also very happy to see she is being well and truly cared for. Thank you to all the staff who make this possible.
Thank you for your kind comments, when we get such positive feedback it really does boost moral.
Beautiful room, fantastic care and wonderful staff.

Thank you so much for the positive feedback, it is great to hear.
I have been visiting my friend in the new care unit for several months and I am most impressed at the care she is receiving. Most importantly, there is no smell. The tables in the dining room are lovely and the food choice and cleanliness is excellent.

The male staff were totally professional and respected my dignity. The female staff were easy to relate to and approachable. The kitchen staff went out of their way to accommodate me and bought me special cereal. If I missed a meal they brought it to my room.
