Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have visited my friend every week since she moved to Millfield early last summer. The staff are consistently professional, kind and friendly both to residents and visitors. The prevailing atmosphere is one of care, kindness and goodwill, reflecting the quality of the management team and staff. Working
12-hour shifts, it cannot be easy but I have never seen standards fall. I am also impressed by the fundraising efforts of the staff which enable a succession of events and outings.

My mother passed aways on December 1st but the care she received from the staff at Millfield was excellent both during her stay there (approx 3 years) and a the end of life. I was kept fully informed by the nurses which were very comforting. I would highly recommend Millfield.

From my initial enquiry regarding nursing care for my mother, we have been dealt with in a caring, informative, professional way giving us confidence and peace of mind in deciding to place mum at Millfield Nursing and Residential Home without exception all the staff are exceptional. The staff as a whole
are all very friendly and nurturing both to my mum and her family and are very pro-active in providing for her needs. We have been very impressed and reassured by everyone's attitude and the foresight applied in catering for mums nursing and caring needs.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.200)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.200) out of 10 for Millfield Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 6 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.000 for Millfield Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (53 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (10 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4
  2. 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 4.2 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Millfield Nursing Home is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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 = 3.6
    2. 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.6
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
