Review from Lisa K (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 15 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandmother came into the home in very sad circumstances (my mother-her daughter) was diagnosed with cancer and could no longer care for my grandmother. So my grandmother was a permanent resident. We have always felt very welcomed at all times when visiting my grandmother she was always well dressed
and colour co-ordinated which is very important to my grandmother. We feel that my gran has always been well cared for and she still is even though now my gran is very ill. The staff have always been very informative to us regarding all my grandmothers health issues and general concerns. We feel this is a lovely home, welcoming and vary caring. Our family has always been very pleased with everything here.

My father has been a resident at Mill View Home since February 2015. All the staff are very friendly and they take time to chat and help as much as they can. There is a lovely warm welcome when I visit. The nurses have been excellent when my father had a bad leg they explained everything. Most of all
they supported me through a very upsetting and stressful time. I would recommend the home it is a lovely place for my father to live he is well cared for and I enjoy visiting him. Happy place.

Mill View is such a friendly place. There is always laughter going on. You can approach any member of staff, from the top to the bottom and they always give you their precious time to talk, if you have any concerns and that makes you feel one of the team. My mother in law will be 100 on March 9th and
I know that they will make her day very special and that means a lot to our family. I can't praise them highly enough, they all deserve a medal!
Reply from Catrin Fletcher, Operations Director at Mill View Care Home
Thank you very much for your comments and I agree that there is a great atmosphere in the home which contributes to high quality care. I will pass your comments on to the staff who will be delighted

My mother has been very happy here at Mill View. The staff appear attentive and kind. My mother is always clean and beautifully dressed. My mother has her hair done regularly and this makes her happy. She has gained weight since being a resident at Mill View and is happy in herself. The staff keep
a close eye on her medical needs and understand her condition. Overall I am happy with her care.

This care home is really fantastic staff go over and above their normal duties to care for Dad. I have no worries that Dad is being looked after with exceptional care, understanding and dignity. Dad has built up a rapport with all care staff and has an outstanding relationship with his carer. They have
become real soul mates.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Every member of staff treats the residents with the dignity, support and assistance you would want for a loved one.
The level of care is second to none, with members of staff taking particular interest in the care of their clients. This level of care permeates through from The Manager, Nursing Staff,
Care Staff, Cleaning and Laundry services.
I have visited the Home regularly at infrequent times ie: Day, Morning and Evening and found the level of care to be consistently high.
I just wish all Nursing/Care Homes had this standard.
Reply from Susan Rosser, Manager at Mill View Care Home
Having your mum here with us was a great pleasure. You all as a family have been fantastic in working with us to make your mums stay as best as possible.

Review from Andrew R (Son of Resident) published on 24 September 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I consider myself as having pretty high standards and I know that I'm quick to criticise where I feel criticism is due but I also like to praise where it's due too as I think it's only fair. The care industry has had some pretty bad press recently and we all had our preconceived ideas of what dad's
care would be like but we couldn't have been more wrong. I would like to commend the Manager and her team at Mill View for their dedication in providing an extremely high standard of care for my dad while he was with them for 5 weeks emergency respite. The carers always treated dad with dignity and maintained a light hearted atmosphere throughout his stay while the nursing staff made sure that his medical needs were absolutely spot on right from the start, even contacting his dietitian to confirm daily fluid requirements (thank you). The only reason we moved dad was to bring him closer to the family so that visiting frequency could be increased so fair play, a job well done by you all and you should be very proud of what you do.


Dad is an 83 year old war veteran who came back from Korea at the tender age of 19 having been blown to bits by a mortar bomb. He recovered quite well and worked full time but then suffered two big strokes, one at 42 and another at 60 but still went on to work full time until his mid 50's and even now is still compos mentis so he deserves good care and I believe that he had it at Mill view.


Thank you all once again for all that you have done for my family and I and especially for dad.


Kindest regards.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.717)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.717) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.817 for Mill View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 104 Ratings = 4.817
  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 4.9 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 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9
    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.
