A retirement home of elegance and distinction. Milford House, a beautiful grade II listed building and its adjoining Coach House were transformed into a tastefully renovated retirement home in 1985.
Actively involved in the national Dignity Challenge campaign, with many members of staff taking on the role of Dignity Champions. This campaign is all about putting dignity and respect at the centre of care services, with a great emphasis on treating people with compassion and respect. Dignity Champions ensure that all residents are listened to, respected and treated as individuals, and that care delivery is dictated by residents.
A reputation for providing excellent care goes well beyond the immediate locality. This is why residents come from different parts of Derbyshire, including Duffield, Hazelwood, Quarndon, Allestree, Coxbench, Derby, Ashbourne, Turnditch, Wirksworth, Matlock and Belper.

My father had to move into Milford before Christmas as his dementia had become too much for the family to cope with. The manager and his team provide excellent care. The Montessori philosophy creates a calm atmosphere within the home. The food and activities are excellent. The place feels more like a home than a clinical institution. It is welcoming, comfortable and relaxing.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I am pleased that our home provides the homely environment that you mention, it is certainly something that we strive for. Thank you also for your comment about our Montessori philosophy. Providing care in this way is something that is close to our hearts and so beneficial to our residents. It really gives them a central purpose within our home. It is a pleasure to care for your dad. We spend a lot of time chatting each day.

Milford House has always been a warm and welcoming place for my Mother. Years ago she was visiting friends and relatives there and now she’s a resident. So, she’s now able to enjoy the care and respect she’s getting in her latter years and I get to visit her regularly and see how well she’s being looked after. The home is always well-ordered and there are many activities organised for those who are able. Mum can connect well with the staff and I’m sure this is the place she’s happy for her closing years.
Thank you so much for your kind words in this review. I am pleased that we are providing your Mum with the care and support that she needs. She is a pleasure to care for.

My Dad has been in Milford House for nearly a year now. He is really well cared for. I live abroad, and Milford keep me well-informed about any changes in his health or needs. They are always patient and kind to my Dad, and with us too. All of the staff are so kind, it is very reassuring for me to know that my Dad is safe and well cared for. Thanks, Milford House.
Thank you for taking the time to write this lovely review. Looking after your dad is really a pleasure and I am delighted that we are able to make you feel reassured that he is safe, as you are far away. Peace of mind is so important.
The staff at Milford House are always friendly and thoughtful. I can tell that they have a genuine affection for my dad. It gives me peace of mind to know that he is being well looked after and that both the care and nursing teams put 100% into their roles.

My Mum spent her final years at the Coachhouse Milford. During this time she was extremely well cared for, especially during the Covid days. The staff were very tolerant of her little ways, she walked for miles visiting everyone. As she deteriorated the care altered to cater for her needs. The nurses did a great job. The care assistants made friends with Mum, she seemed to love this. Mum always said 'This is my Happy House.' The Coach House was always clean and tidy, the cleaners do a stirling job, they always had time for Mum. Thank you all very much.
Thank you so much for your kind words, particularly at a time of personal loss. I am so pleased that our care was everything that you wanted during your mum's final years. It was a pleasure to care for her.
She has always been very well looked after and very happy and settled. All the staff are very friendly, caring and helpful.

I am delighted to share my positive experience with this exceptional care home where my grandmother currently resides. The facilities are top-notch, providing a comfortable and safe environment. The dedicated staff members exhibit genuine compassion and professionalism, ensuring personalized care for each resident. The range of activities offered is impressive, catering to diverse interests and fostering a vibrant community atmosphere. My grandmother, in particular, has thrived in this enriching environment. She receives attentive and respectful treatment, and it's evident that the staff goes above and beyond to meet her needs. In summary, this care home stands out for its outstanding facilities, compassionate staff, engaging activities, and the personalized care that has significantly improved my grandmother's overall well-being. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking exceptional care for their loved ones.
Looking after your grandmother is an absolute pleasure. I will share your words with my team as they deserve to know how highly they are thought of.

Visitors are welcome at anytime 24/7. Nowhere is off limits. Staff are welcoming and approachable. Visitors are offered refreshments which seem to be available to residents at all times. Staff keep me, as a primary point of contact, updated on any changes in my sister’s physical and psychological condition, including any change in her medication. Personal spaces are clean and well-furnished.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is great to hear that the team are welcoming and approachable. It is also great to read that you are given timely updates of your sister's condition.
In the most difficult of circumstances at end-of-life care for our Mum, Milford (Coach House) has exceeded expectations and gone above and beyond to make this a positive and comforting experience and picked up where we are unable to with our own life and jobs getting in the way. They have made a...
I hope that all of the staff caring for Mum in both nursing and residential care receive this message of thanks. Their daily actions have made a difference to us and to our Mum.
Thank you for your very kind words. I am delighted that we are able to exceed your expectations regarding the care that we provide for your mum. My team at Milford is, as you have mentioned, so very talented. I will ensure that I pass your kind feedback on to them.

Once Mum was up and dressed we were invited to join her in the dining room.
Mum was cheerful and enjoyed her food and drink.
She then was transferred by wheelchair at her request into the lounge where we opened some Christmas presents.
She was cheerful when we left.
Thank you for your kind words. I am sorry that your mum was a bit grumpy at the start of your visit, but delighted that the staff dealt with the situation with grace, kindness, and patience and that your mum was able to be cheered up.
My dad is very well looked after and all his care needs are met. The activities are varied and my dad seems very happy. He gets on well with all of the carers.

Thank you for your lovely words in your review. It is a real pleasure to look after your dad.
When staff are busy they still make the time to talk and encourage residents and are always patient.
I have visited several nursing homes but Milford House is outstanding in what they do

My mother has been so well cared for since arriving at Milford House in late February just before her 90th birthday. All the carers and staff etc have been amazing with her and her family and nothing is too much trouble. She is now receiving palliative care and it is so reassuring for her family that she is comfortable and being so well cared for, it gives us all peace of mind. I can't recommend this home enough.
Thankyou for your lovely review. It is our absolute pleasure to care for both your mum and her family.
Mother is very happy and content and well cared for. There are plenty of stimulating events and activities. We take her out quite a lot and she is always quite happy to return and settle back in. The staff are always pleasant when you visit and genuinely show attention and care for Mum.

Thank you for taking the time to review our home. We really appreciate your comments.
Overall experience is very good. The staff are very friendly and helpful and residents are taken care of. Granny seems to enjoy her time here a lot and is very comfortable. I visited for the coronation party and really enjoyed the food and activities on offer.

All of the staff have to be commended for their positive and gentle approach to providing the best care for my mum when she most needed it.
As I live 70 miles away from Milford House I am only able to visit my mother once a week. Since she only took residence in November 2021 and the home has been closed during that period for several weeks due to COVID I have not been able to visit that often. However, my experiences have always been...
The building itself is lovely, clean and comfortable with a lovely garden for the residents. All the staff are very welcoming and very kind, helpful and supportive to the residents. There is a very happy, friendly ambience in the home. Nothing is too much trouble and I am completely reassured that my mother is well looked after at all times.
Thank you for your wonderful comments, Susan. It's our privilege and honour to care for your mother. We hope to see you in the future.
My only query is why if they need the toilet is everyone is upstairs and nobody to help hoist the residents to the toilet.
The lounges are comfortable and very clean.
I have got on with all the staff.
Would highly recommend it.

Thank you for your comments. We can assure you that our floors should never be unmanned - we have care assistants available in the rooms at all times. If a resident does require hoisting, the care assistant will get someone to help using the call bell. Should you wish to speak to anyone about any concerns you may have, we are available on 01332 841753. Thanks again.

We looked at a number of residential homes in the area and Milford House made our decision very simple, it was the perfect 'home from home' feel we were after. Everything from the staff members, food and activities, to the sitting rooms and bedrooms are immaculate and have a large open feel to them. Ideally located just off the A6, parking was never a problem, which made visiting effortless. The Facebook page is also a great way to keep in touch with what is going on at the home. Thank you to all the staff for looking after Grandma so well. Keep up the great work, you're a credit to the sector. Best Regards
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback, it was our pleasure and privilege looking after your Grandma. Thank you and take care
Mum was taken ill in late April, with the speedy response and in the care of the carers is now making great progress in her recovery. After leaving the hospital she was so happy to be back at Milford House and amongst her friends. Mum always tells me how lovely the carers are to her which also...
Lovely care home and excellent staff.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. It is a pleasure caring for your mum.
