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.

Since my sister has been in Mildenhall Lodge she has been well cared for. Lots of activities and although she is limited what she can do, they include her as much as they can.The staff are very kind to her even though her speech is not very clear. We have found the all round care is brilliant.

Beautiful home - as soon as you walk through the entrance you are greeted with a lovely smell and bright furnishings. Mum says that some staff are all lovely and that its a nice place to live. Activities wise there is always plenty going on. We are all very pleased with the care. Thank you.

Every 4-6 weeks we visit our friends and bring lunch. The kitchen and reception staff are amazing and cook the meals I've prepared. They lay the table in the coffee lounge and the whole atmospheres so friendly as all the staff in Garland suite who are always friendly and smiley towards us. The whole place has the most wonderful and caring ambience. Couldn't praise all staff enough.

I cannot praise highly enough the standard of care shown by all staff to the residents. The home put on an Easter Fayre to raise money towards a garden project and included residents and families in this endeavour. Families are continually encouraged to take part in activities and also training to understand tasks undertaken such as the Namaste care offered. Well done Mildenhall Lodge.

My siblings and I visited our uncle and were extremely impressed with not only the care home but also the staff. We received a very warm and welcoming response from all the staff we met. But more importantly, we knew our uncle was safe, comfortable and certainly treated with dignity there, thank you all. I just hope there is a care home like yours where I live if needed.

After a scare in October, when we thought my husband was close to end of life, the superb care he received from our doctor and Mildenhall Lodge caring staff, he pulled through. They go over and above to look after him and me also with the utmost respect.

It was a pleasure to visit our friend today. We had a friendly welcome from the staff and everywhere was immaculate. We enjoyed a coffee in the cafe. Our friend showed us around and we were very impressed.

After a shaky start on our part, the staff have been very supportive and done their best to provide care to my father. His rapidly changing moods have meant that he is challenging to help but the more experienced carers have dealt with this with humour and kindness. The rooms could be bigger and brighter and the furniture is minimal and a little tired-looking but the communal areas are bright and comfortable.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback for Mildenhall Lodge, your feedback is greatly appreciated by the team. I am sorry to read it was a shaky start, and we understand it can be a very difficult time at the start of transitioning to a new environment. I would like to thank you for your...

Highly recommended. All the staff are simply amazing. I just don't know how to begin to express my thanks to everyone at Mildenhall Lodge for their exceptional care and kindness to my mother and our entire family. They made you feel like part of a huge welcoming family so very considerate and caring. The onsite chef and kitchen staff whipped up special requests to try to get Mum to eat when her appetite disappeared. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Making birthdays and anniversaries special celebrations. There are always activities and any excuse for a party. Weekly entertainers. The manager is very helpful friendly and easy to contact. During Mum's passing they were so considerate and caring. Assisting with difficult tasks understanding helpful and just like family. They are all so genuine. All residents are treated like family. Myself and my family are forever grateful for your support and kindness.
Thank you very much for your lovely words, I have passed this review onto the team as it very much their hard work and dedication to ensure that your mum's care was delivered to the high standard we expect. I am glad you and your family felt supported and that you feel like the residents are treated like family, the means alot to us all in the home. Thank you again, Hannah and the team.
Some absolutely amazing staff, going above and beyond. Deserve better pay!

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.
