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 has been a resident at Milden Lodge since September 2018 and we (her family) are extremely pleased with the excellent level of care and support she is receiving. That gives us all great peace of mind knowing she is in the best place. All the staff are very caring, well trained and...
We are kept informed immediately of any incidents or changes in my mother's condition - an all-around excellent care home.
Very pleased. Three monthly meeting to discuss the resident's care plan, medication and behavioural issues would be a good idea, but not essential.

Mildenhall Lodge care home staff are so friendly and makes my brothers care the best it could be. I could not ask for a better home for him to be in, could not fault any of the staff. We looked at a number of homes and Mildenhall Lodge is the best by far. There is not one thing I could fault.

I am so pleased my husband came to Mildenhall Lodge. It's the best care home he has been in, the staff are lovely and kind to him as he has dementia. I can feel relaxed that he is in their care, no one wants your loved one taken away from home but to know I can see him anytime I want and he is happy. There is a lovely garden here, we can walk around which he likes to do, the other people that also are being looked after are nice to one another and are pleased to be together. I often stay and have lunch with my husband. It's a wonderful meal.

I have given a 'good' for management and safety/security solely because I don't know the inner workings. My dealings with Mildenhall in this vein appear to be very good. Management dealing with me personally have been good. I would say that during my visiting [end May to middle July] it was difficult to gain access after 5 o'clock (PM) as there was no-one on the front desk and ringing the bell produced no response. Other 'visitors' let me in.
The standard/care/facilities/meals and so on are top notch.
Neighbours of my father, friends and relatives all report the same and think the Mildenhall Home is marvellous.
The care of my father is wonderful. Everyone whom I have met has been understanding, caring and attentive. I know he is in the best hands possible.
Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback regarding your father’s care at Mildenhall Lodge. We are delighted that you are so happy with the overall service provided and that he is happy here.

Thank you very much for your wonderful feedback regarding your father’s care at Mildenhall Lodge. We are delighted that you are so happy with the overall service provided and that he is happy here.
I am sorry that you have had difficulties in getting in the home after 5pm. Our reception and admin teams leave at 5pm, and residents’ meals are being served by staff at around this time, so there would be limited availability for staff to answer the door. However, we are able to share the door codes with immediate family, so we would be able to provide you with these as a daughter of a resident. This should make gaining access easier for you in future. Please always feel free to discuss any concerns you have with us, so that we can try and resolve them for you. Thank you once again for your very positive feedback.
I cannot speak highly enough about the staff at Mildenhall Lodge. From the speed with which Dad was assessed in hospital and admitted (4 days!) to the care and support he has received from day one, I have found everyone “goes the extra mile” for the residents.

I cannot speak highly enough about the staff at Mildenhall Lodge. From the speed with which Dad was assessed in hospital and admitted (4 days!) to the care and support he has received from day one, I have found everyone “goes the extra mile” for the residents.
Staff have taken the time to get to know Dad to ensure he is happy and his needs are being met and I have the peace of mind he is being well looked after. They keep me very well informed of any issues and have been a tremendous support to me as Dad makes the difficult transition from living independently to living in a Home.
There is a warm, friendly, welcoming atmosphere from the moment you step into the Home and everywhere is light and spacious.
The food is excellent, there is a varied menu and the chefs are more than happy to cater to individual needs. The Activities Organiser offers a wide range of activities and is always looking for new ideas to engage residents.
Dad could not be in a better Home!

At a time when my Uncle needed care due to the onset of dementia, the support my family were given by Mildenhall was outstanding. It made a very difficult time more bearable and filled us with confidence that our beloved uncle was going to get the best care possible. Since being at the home he has settled well and nothing is too much trouble for the dedicated team that work there. It was the best decision we have ever made and we cannot thank the staff enough for their unconditional efforts to provide a first class service all round.

It is good to see her happy and smiling, especially when she pops up in the photos of the homes facebook page. A special mention must go to the 'Canine Relations Manager' who always welcomes our dog Tilly when on her visits to see mum...It is a lovely home for mum and a pleasure to see her there.
It is good to know Mum is in a safe place, where kind staff support and help her as needed but Mum still has some independence and choice. The staff also spend time with Mum and help get her involved with various activities which is great.

Everyone at Mildenhall Lodge truly cares.
I have been so impressed with the beautiful facilities provided, but the key factor is the staff who run it - from the carers, kitchen, cleaners and the management. As a family member, I am always welcomed whenever I visit Mum, any concerns are quickly addressed with main priority given to the care for my mother. Their consideration of her needs has been outstanding, as well as providing support to both Mum and her family.The activities have also become an important part of Mum's care and it is so good to see her regain smile and enjoying herself.
All accolades to this fantastic team and all they have achieved are well-deserved.
The staff were very caring and monitored her very well. Nothing is too much trouble, everything myself or sister have asked for has been done straight away.

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.
