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 wife has only been in the home for a short while but seems to have settled in very well. The staff are all friendly and helpful and we are pleased with how things are going with my wife's care.

My step-grandmother’s stay of nearly four weeks at Mildenhall Lodge could not have been better. Whilst she was there, I rang her most days and she never said a single bad word about anyone or anything there. She thought the staff, food and facilities were wonderful, as did I. When I visited Mildenhall Lodge to set everything up before she moved in, I immediately became aware of the professional and caring manner of all those I came into contact with, and received excellent and concise advice.
When I visited my step-grandmother a few times, I found that staff in the Garland Suite could not have been more helpful and kind and I noticed the genuinely caring, positive and thoughtful way they dealt with everyone. The teamwork throughout the home is first class.
The atmosphere is welcoming; the activities carefully aimed at the less physically able and the less mentally able but extremely interesting and fun.
The food is brilliant and there are always homemade cakes to accompany the coffee.

The staff all seem to go the extra mile to spend time with the residents and keep cheery dispositions. The family feel that we are also made very welcome and kept informed at every stage.

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.
