My wife went into Mill House in February this year after she got to much for me to care for at home, she has mixed dementia. She was very difficult to care for, she never wanted to go into care and they tried everything including one to one care until they got her to settle into living at Mill House. Mill House is a home from home and I can visit her and leave her knowing she is in safe hands. The staff are all friendly and caring and you feel you are part of a big family. They have plenty of activities and take her out in her wheelchair to visit the mill and river opposite. All I can say is thank you to everyone involved in her care.

The Mill House has a homely and friendly atmosphere. The staff seem to go out of their way to support the residents to be active and not 'stuck' in their rooms or chairs staring at a wall. There is a great range of activities my mum gets involved in. The staff are friendly and my mum seems to be enjoying being here overall I feel content knowing my mum is safe and well looked after when I am so far away and can't visit as often as I would like.

Dad moved into Mill House in November 2025 having been in hospital and then respite care at a different home.
Dad settled in almost immediately which we were so relieved about as he always said he would never go into a home. He has a lovely big room and was able to take his own tv and other personal effects and also has his bird table and feeders outside his window, just like at home and with his Alzheimers he does think he is at home a lot of the time.
All the carers we have come into contact with are lovely and really make you and dad feel welcome and you can tell they are committed to their jobs.
We are hopeful that dad will start joining in the regular trips soon as he loves going out for a cuppa! Also looking forward to the spring and getting him out in the lovely grounds. But for now he seems happy and content with how things are.
We feel very lucky the room became available at the right time and now enjoy just going to spend quality time with him.
Thank you for your kind review. We're delighted to know that your experience with The Mill House team is a positive one and that our support made a difference. Your feedback means a great deal to us and inspires our team to continue providing the highest level of care.
Amazing place! Mum spent 4 weeks in emergency respite care here, she was looked after so well. Fantastic staff and team, wonderful room, amazing care, nothing to criticise. Highly recommend. Thank you Sam and your team. You are the best!

After spending over three years at the nursing home, mum passed away peacefully. In that last month, along with all her time in there, the staff treated her with kindness, dignity and professional care. They made sure she was comfortable as possible. They allowed us as much time as we wanted to spend with her, giving us support and information when required.

My husband has been at The Mill House nearly 4 years. It's a lovely place, bright and homely. The staff are lovely and very caring. they have a lot of things going on for the residents. They go out for trips for those who are able to go. They attend to my husband's needs and keep me informed of any problems he is going through. He is settled and happy there in his little world.

My mum has recently been placed at Mill House and I can honestly say I’m very impressed. I saw her the other day in a chair for the first time in nearly 2 years so glad with the progress so far. She is so much happier and the house is beautiful. She has gone from living alone and not speaking to anyone to having people around her to talk to. Have no complaints at all and would highly recommend it. Also great that it is very dog-friendly.
Thank you for your kind review we are so happy that Mum has settled well all our staff work hard to ensure that our residents are well cared for, and your dogs are always welcome.

Mum has been living at Mill House since October 2023. She never wanted to go into a care home but Mill House has changed all that. She settled in really quickly and seems very happy. Me and my brother know that she is safe and very well cared for. She is being encouraged to join in all the lovely activities that are regularly organised from singing in the garden to meeting furry friends. She loves the staff and enjoys the meals. The staff are incredibly friendly and really attentive. Mill House is a beautiful place inside and outside, and has a lovely atmosphere. It’s right near the river too so Mum can enjoy the peaceful beauty and get close to nature. Thank you to the manager and her wonderful team.
Thank you for your feedback I'm very pleased that your mother has settled so well, all the staff are committed to their job roles and I think this shows in your review it's lovely to hear and see that she is happy.
My mother spent her last days in Mill House. It was an upsetting time for us all but I have to say the staff treated my mother as an individual, this was very important to us. We were able to take her own quilt bed linen and pillows in all things that were important to Mum. The nurses and carers...
In fact, all the staff we came across were wonderful.
Mum had a good relationship with the staff and would always have a joke with them.
Mum was in the home from October until the beginning of December 2023.
Thank you for your kind words all our staff are committed to ensuring that our residents are cared for in the kindest and most dignified manner, so it was a pleasure to look after your mother, she will be sadly missed.

With over 18 years of experience in the health and social care sector, I’m a dedicated and compassionate Home Manager committed to providing the highest standards of person-centred care. I began my career in domiciliary care and have since gained extensive experience across a range of settings, including nursing, elderly care, and children’s mental health. Throughout my career, I’ve achieved a variety of qualifications and awards that reflect my commitment to professional growth and excellence in care.
I take a hands-on approach to leadership and pride myself on building supportive, well-led environments where both residents and staff can thrive. I have a deep understanding of complex care needs and a strong focus on developing and empowering my team. I’m passionate about maintaining compliance, enhancing the quality of life for residents, and promoting a culture of respect, empathy, and excellence in every aspect of care delivery.

I am a Registered Nurse and Clinical Deputy at Mill House, with over 20 years of experience across health and social care. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working in a wide range of settings, in community nursing, hospitals, and nursing homes, specialising in different areas such as end-of-life care, long-term conditions, therapy and rehabilitation, mental health, emergency and acute care. This breadth of experience has shaped me into a well-rounded practitioner who understands the full journey of a person’s health needs.
What drives me most is the belief that everyone deserves compassionate, high-quality care delivered with respect, empathy, and dignity. I always aim to treat people as I would treat my own family by offering reassurance, listening carefully, and supporting them through both challenging and hopeful moments. Building trust and meaningful connections with residents, their families, and the wider multidisciplinary team is at the heart of my practice.
In my role as a Clinical Deputy, I take pride in supporting clinical standards, mentoring and supporting staff, and helping to create environments where excellent care can truly flourish. I am committed to continuous learning, reflective practice, and promoting a culture where kindness, safety, and person-centred care are at the core of everything I do.Every day, I am reminded of the privilege of nursing, and I remain dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of the people I care for.
