Mildenhall Lodge care home provides the best personalised residential, nursing and dementia care for older people on a short-term or permanent basis.
The purpose-built care home has been designed to offer comfort in luxurious surroundings. Bedrooms are complete with ensuite facilities and residents also benefit from a café, bar, cinema room and hair salon.
When your loved one joins the home, the team works hard to get to know them and the rest of your family, so they can provide care that's personalised to the individual. They'll learn about residents' life stories, interests, likes and dislikes to inform care and activities plans, enabling them to continue to enjoy the best possible lifestyle.

My mother moved into Mildenhall Lodge and was in the midst of a severe decline in her health. All the staff have been extremely supportive as we worked as a team to stabilise her health and settle her into new and comforting environment. The staff have shown care and compassion; they have given us time and understanding. We have been impressed by all the staff on Lyn wing but would particularly like to show Wish and Jeremy as team leaders, they have worked tirelessly to keep us informed and support us as an entire family.
I moved here in 2018 when I lost my husband, fell ill, had a stroke, and couldn't live alone anymore. The home is wonderful - the staff are great, quite a few I know by living in Mildenhall since 1966. The care is marvellous. The food very good. The activities are very good.

The general atmosphere and vibe is always one of care, excellent activities, endearing joy and humour in both residents and staff alike. The staff and management all seem to work as a proper team, and the facilities, food, cleanliness, and overall sense of a home from home is exemplary.

Our friends of 35 years are both residents. We cannot speak too highly of the home. We were so impressed with the home and staff when they first came (2 years ago). Nothing has changed and we are always made to feel welcome by all the staff. It is always beautifully decorated for all special occasions, and there is just a loving, warm and caring atmosphere. If I had to be in a home this would definitely be the one!

My friend had previously been in a care home many miles away. She had been well looked after, but no stimulation due to lack of staff. What a difference at Mildenhall Lodge. It is an incredible home with so many activities going on and trips out. She is so happy. The staff are lovely.

Hi, I’m Ed, the Home Manager at Mildenhall Lodge. I hold a Level 4 qualification in Leadership in Health and Social Care and will complete my Level 5 in February 2026. I have also completed the Future Home Manager course.
My previous role was Deputy Manager at Mildenhall Lodge. I decided to work at Care UK following a recommendation from a family member after the passing of a loved one, which led me to join Davers Court as a Care Assistant—and I’ve never left. I believe the key characteristics needed for my role are being patient, kind, caring, dedicated and passionate, leading by example, having strong coaching abilities, and being a real people person.
My favourite part of the working day is seeing residents enjoying their daily lives and making new memories with loved ones, colleagues and visitors, as well as watching my team grow and develop in their careers.
Outside of work, as an ex-professional dancer, I continue to enjoy dance, performance, teaching and makeup artistry, alongside gardening, reading and spending time with friends and family. My biggest career highlight to date has been working in a Care UK home that achieved an Outstanding rating in all five CQC domains.
What makes me most proud is seeing the whole home work together to ensure residents lead fulfilling lives and create new memories at Mildenhall Lodge. The most important part of my role is coaching and mentoring the entire team to deliver the very best care to our residents, relatives and visitors.
