Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
When I knew my husband had to go into a nursing home, I was scared because I have heard about so many bad experiences that people have had in nursing homes. I tried to keep an open mind and judge for myself. It wasn't easy at first for my husband or myself, but the staff were patient and understanding.
I had a lot of support from the staff - they were good. The management there are excellent and there is a good team spirit.

My mum has been a resident at Mill View for over two months and whilst she has been here, all the staff have been more than helpful every time I have asked for anything. Nothing has been too much trouble and anything asked for to help Mum has been fetched immediately. Mum has always been very well looked
after and I have never visited her and found her needing to be washed or not changed. I visit anytime during the day, even up until midnight. Thank you all so much.
Reply from Bikram Choudhary, Director at Mill View Care HomeThank you for your kind review, the hard working staff team and management are delighted you and mum are happy, we always strive to improve our care.

My relative has been a patient at this home for some 5 years. In this time we have been satisfied with all that has been done, although there has been a blip re leadership it is now hopefully been resolved. At no time has our relative been unhappy. The staff throughout have always been caring, We look
forward to a continuing place of contentment.

You can not fault the home, the staff, everyone, the cleanliness. They have lovely entertainment - whenever we come there is something going on. We find the staff friendly and open, even though my sister is not always aware, the staff always take time to include her in the activities. I can not praise
them highly enough, they are all my heroes.
Reply from Sandra Lloyd, Clinical Manager at Mill View Care HomeThank you so much for your kind words, I will make sure all the staff are aware of your lovely comments. It is our pleasure to look after your sister, we are thrilled you are happy with our home and the service we provide.

My mother has been in Mill View Care Home for almost three years and since being a resident there she has improved 100%. She enjoys the company of other residents and enjoys the meals she receives. She also enjoys the banter with the carers although she can be feisty, one of the reasons she has attained
100 years of age.
Reply from Sheryl Davies, Operations Director at Mill View Care HomeThank you for your review, we feel very privileged to look after your mother.
We are very pleased that your mother has improved under our care and see this as a testimony of our care teams commitment and dedication to their role.

Review from Sue F (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother, who had terminal cancer, was admitted to the care home, after looking at others it was decided we would use this one, as the staff seemed friendly.
Unfortunately, she only had a couple of months, but the time spent there, staff were lovely and she was well-looked-after.
On the night she
died, the staff informed us, and as we had a fair way to travel, when we got there, they looked after us offering not only support but refreshments. My brother was with her all night and the staff they came in to offer support.
When she died they treated her with dignity and respect. They also let us take as much time as needed, and chatted to us and supported us.
Although my mother was only there a while, I know she was happy and well looked after.
From myself and my family, I would personally like to say a BIG thank you, you made a very difficult time, run smoothly.


I would definitely recommend Mill View, it's not about the building but the people/staff inside. THANKS.

Reply from Sheryl Davies, Operations Director at Mill View Care HomeThank you very much for your kind review, we are very proud to have been able to look after your mother, and that your mother was comfortable and relaxed with her family around her during her last days.

This care home is a good care home, I personally reviewed a few before choosing Mill View for my mother. This care home is clean and well kept. They provide a good service to the patients, where possible to be helped. The staff here are very helpful and friendly. This care home could do with increased
activities for the patients that are able. This meaning they can go out for the day or just on a trip.
Reply from K Gover, Manager at Mill View Care HomeMany thanks for completing this review, we are pleased that you are happy with the Home and the care Mam receives. With regards to activities myself, the staff and residents agreed that once the weather improved we would begin planning outings. The residents came up with some great suggestions in the last meeting about where to go and what to do and if you have any ideas or thoughts we would love to hear them.

After a six month stay at hospital, my Husband was discharged to Mill View Nursing Home early January 2016. My Husband has settled well due to the care and attention given to him by staff. He enjoys the food and has put on weight after losing 3 stone in hospital. As a family, we have found the staff
to be very welcoming and friendly, always eager to answer any questions we may have and understanding that this has been a difficult emotional time for us. While visiting, we have observed how staff treat all residents with respect and create a homely atmosphere for all.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.604)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.604) out of 10 for Mill View Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 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 4.904 for Mill View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 104 Ratings = 4.904
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mill View Care Home is based on 9 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.7
    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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
