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.

I have been consistently pleased with the level of care my mum received at Mildenhall Lodge. I feel that Mum is safe and well looked after and that provided me with peace of mind, which is precious. Staff are friendly and engaged. the home also arranges daily activities for residents which I consider to be very important to stimulate and bring joy to the residents. As a regular visitor, I also appreciate the welcome I receive and the connections I have made as I navigate this difficult journey with Mum.
Thank you for leaving such a lovely review, it's warming to hear that you feel safe with your mum in our care. We try to make everyone feel this way, not just our residents but their loved ones too so I am pleased. Thank you again for such lovely words.

Due to needing care urgently, the home was very quick to action allocating a room and arranging transport from the hospital to the home. My mother-in-law has thoroughly enjoyed her stay, and has started sleeping well and eating more. It has been lovely to see her interact with the staff and other residents and taking part in the events that are put on regularly. She has also enjoyed spending time in the garden. A big thank you to all.

My dad was resident at Mildenhall Lodge for 22 months. I knew as soon as I walked into the light, airy entrance/reception/coffee shop it would be the right care home for him and I was not wrong. His level of care has been excellent from the nursing and care staff through to reception, catering and housekeeping. Unfortunately he was not able to take part in many of the daily activities but I was always impressed with what was on offer from the Lifestyle Team. His day-to-day care was great, the care staff very respectful and caring of him and welcoming to us, his visitors; the nursing staff did everything they possibly could for his complex health needs, always seeking advice from specialists when necessary. I always left feeling confident he was being cared for to the best of everyone's ability. I would very much recommend this care home.

A stark contrast for all the right reasons after our previous care home experience. The home is very grounded offering a high level of care where the residents are the priority. Excellent experience with all the staff - management, reception, admin, care teams, team leaders, catering, and housekeeping - all very genuine, caring, and supportive. Reviews, updates, and communication are all forthcoming. Making a care home choice is a very difficult one but we are so pleased that we chose Mildenhall Lodge.
Thank you so much for giving up your time to leave us such a lovely review. We really understand that the transition here to Mildenhall Lodge was difficult for you and your family but we are so pleased that it has worked out in this way. I will ensure to pass on your lovely words to our team. Thanks again.

My mother was in and out of Mildenhall Lodge Care Home for 4 months. The staff were magical, amazing, super kind and went over and above at all times. From the very first meeting to the very last day, they were all outstanding. The facilities are super clean and well-maintained. The staff are totally professional and nothing is too much trouble. I really can't say enough praise for these carers.
Thank you for your lovely review on the home, the staff definitely appreciate the feedback. I will ensure to pass this on to the suite, they will be really pleased they have had a positive impact on you and your mother. Thank you again.
I am extremely happy with the care that my mum has and is receiving here. All the staff are outstanding and very friendly and the facilities are excellent. I also think that the variety and frequency of the activities provided is excellent. My mum is totally happy which makes me happy.

When I visited to see my mum back in January, I was completely amazed with the standards of the care home. The facilities were definitely better than the care homes in other places. The care provided from the workers to the residents was outstanding as they carefully and quickly responded to their needs and requirements. They were all extremely nice and welcoming towards me as well. Overall, it's an amazing care home that the people of Mildenhall can rely on and trust.
Hi Christopher, thank you for the wonderful review, I will ensure to get these comments fed back to the team as they are really important to them. Thank you again.
I am very happy with the care my dad is receiving at the home. Any problems we have had have been dealt with and sorted. The staff are friendly and helpful and just knowing my dad is safe and happy is very reassuring. The home always looks clean and tidy.

My mum was a resident at Mildenhall Lodge for four months. I visited her most days and in that time I was always impressed by all the staff members from the front reception and office staff to those giving Mum personal care. Their kindness, caring and dedication to their job roles are all things which will stay with me. I had been Mum’s carer for 3 years and knew quickly that Mum was in very capable and safe hands now that she needed 24-hour care. As a family, we were also very touched by the care we were shown in the difficult last 48 hours before Mum passed away. I will recommend Mildenhall Lodge to anyone looking for a care home. A very big thank you to such a wonderful team.

Mum has recently moved to Mildenhall Lodge from another Care UK home. We found the move went very smoothly, and the staff settled her in very quickly, so was not upset during the process. They organised her belongings very quickly to make her feel at home. The caring team are very proactive and excellent at keeping us informed of her health and activities, of which there are many she can partake in. Standards of cleanliness are very high and when asked to action anything, it is done promptly. The management team are excellent and welcoming. Mum is settling in very nicely, eating well, and seems to be enjoying life as well as her abilities allow.
At Mildenhall Lodge Care Home we set a high standard for ourselves, so we are very pleased to hear that your experience with us has been a positive one. Thank you for your time, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Been here several weeks, I have felt welcome, and I love my room. Short walk to cafe, shop. Watching visits come and go from my window. My carers are excellent. Food is good.

As a family, we would like to thank you for all your care and support over the last two and a half years that you gave to our dad. That is everyone from cleaners, cooks, entertainment staff, receptionists, carers and management. We cannot thank you enough.

They keep her mind and body busy with daily, organised activities. I was very surprised how much better she was in everything when she first moved in.
Hairdressers, doctors and chiropodists visit the home and she is able to have lots of her treasured possessions with her in her room. It's the next best thing to living at home. Well done Mildenhall Lodge!

My mum went into Mildenhall Lodge Care Home six years ago and although it was a wrench moving from her own home and going into care, after an initial period of not being too keen to be there she relaxed and enjoyed the company. The staff are amazing and really look after the residents with...
I feel we were very lucky to have Mum staying in Mildenhall Lodge and I am sure she would agree with all I have said.
Hi Christine, thank you very much for your kind words, we value your feedback. Your mum was very much part of the Mildenhall Lodge family.

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.
