I have been in Mill House 4.5 months. I was in a very bad state when I arrived and the care they have given me, both day and night, has been wonderful. I am now well enough to return to my own home.

I have been in Mill House since 15th March 2019. They took care of me very well whilst my wife was in hospital for four months. She then came and joined me at the home for another four and a half months. The care and attention I have received has been excellent.

The manager and administration secretary pulled out all the stops to admit my brother on the day he was discharged from hospital for some much-needed convalescence. Already he is benefitting from the care of the nursing and auxiliary staff who are friendly, helpful and flexible in looking after him. The manager has spent quite a lot of time talking to me about ways in which they could assist my brother to look after himself better when he returns home.
Absolutely fantastic care home, great manager, very helpful and very efficient. All the staff are very friendly, welcoming and helpful, would highly recommend this home its a fantastic place to be.

The nurses were fantastic and we could not fault the care grandad received. A special shout out to one of the night nurses, who gave grandad dignity, care and love and her dog. Thank you to everyone who made it a caring, loving environment for grandad until the end.
All the staff made Mum feel welcome from day one. This has continued throughout. She has gained confidence, mobility, speech. The benefits the home have had is incredible. They all respect my Mum and us as visitors (2 weekly). I highly recommend Mill House care facility.

My father spent two years at Mill House before getting his angel wings in October 2017. He was a proud and stubborn man, however, carers responded to him in a kind, empathetic and caring manner. He soon settled in and always said he was really happy in Mill House. The care he received was excellent and communication was good. My dad was treated with dignity and a positive understanding of his needs. The manager and all the carers were amazing and near to the end of his days were very supportive. The home was always clean, as was my father who always took a pride in his appearance, carers aware of this and he always presented as clean and well groomed. From manager, deputy manager, kitchen staff, laundry assistants, nurses, carers and maintenance staff a massive thank you for looking after my father and making his time at Mill House a happy time where he felt at home and part of a wonderful family.

They were always on hand to discuss his progress, by phone and during my visits.
They also proactively keep me informed whenever there were any changes in my father's condition and/ or his medication. My deep gratitude to the staff at the Mill House.
We found Mill House very welcoming. We were told we could visit any time of the day or night. We were allowed into their kitchen to make tea for mum or ourselves. They certainly had nothing to hide. The staff were very friendly and had my mother's care top of their list. She was always clean and...
We found Mill House very welcoming. We were told we could visit any time of the day or night. We were allowed into their kitchen to make tea for mum or ourselves. They certainly had nothing to hide. The staff were very friendly and had my mother's care top of their list. She was always clean and cared for. I have nothing but praise. Sadly my mother passed away on the 26th of April but I feel she was so well cared for in her last two months.
Excellent end of life palliative care, encouraging quality life as much as possible eg. hairdressing, manicures etc. Regular and frequent care around the clock. Comfortable room kept clean at all times.

My mother was admitted to hospital on 6th December 2016 with a variety of health problems, not least Alzheimers and Vascular Dementia. When it came time for her to leave hospital she couldn't go back home. We were so lucky that Mill House had a room which they held while she got through Noro Virus just before she left hospital. My husband and I were very impressed when we visited the home. Also, it is just so close to where mum grew up. She used to row and fish in the mill pond too. The accommodation is lovely and the staff are very kind. Mum wasn't here very long - only 3 weeks sadly - but being here eased her passing.
The response I had from the manager on day one was excellent, very quick and efficient. The deputy was also very good as was the rest of the staff. Most impressed with the mardle room. They achieved everything that was required in the planned two weeks. I will certainly recommend it to anyone...

They achieved everything that was required in the planned two weeks. I will certainly recommend it to anyone interested.
The staff are lovely, very caring and friendly. The home is very comfortable and clean and my husband is relaxed and happy to live here.

Father appears well cared for, well fed and usually happy. When upset, staff manage to cajole him out of mood. I live in Australia and am contacted and kept well informed about any issues that arise. The administrator is main point of contact.

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.
