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.

You cannot improve on excellence. He is my one worry and knowing he is looked after helps me. They look after him when I am not able to!
The staff are good and have really got to know him.

Mildenhall Lodge offered my parents a sanctuary at a time when assistance with their care was necessary. My father is my mother's carer and he required an operation which meant my mother visited Mildenhall Lodge on a respite basis and then my father joined her for post-operative care. This gave me...
My experience personally is one of gratitude as I can honestly say the team at Mildenhall Lodge went above and beyond to welcome and care for my parents. As I don't live locally I was able to make daily contact with Mildenhall Lodge and very quickly built up a great rapport with one member of staff who put my mind at rest on many occasion.
I would recommend Mildenhall Lodge in an instant.
The care is outstanding.
We are extremely lucky to have mum living there.
All the entertainment the residents have is outstanding and very well thought out.
Thank you all for caring for our mum and giving us peace of mind. Bless you.

She spent her final few days in the home surrounded by her family and supported by her carers.
Residents rooms are of a very high quality - all with en suite.

I have been impressed with Mildenhall Lodge Care Home. The home is like a hotel in quality of the fixture and fittings. The staff have been very friendly and helpful in getting my mother settled into the home. Each time I visit, there has been an improvement in her well being and this has relieved...
Once my mother has regained her strength, there are a lot of activities which she can enjoy and how lovely for the home to have an adopted pet, Sinbad the lurcher. Mum loves animals and looks forward to fussing him every day.
A charming, happy, friendly place to be. Staff are fabulous, attentive and caring. The food is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble.

We’re grateful for your feedback and are delighted that you are pleased with the overall quality of care being delivered at Mildenhall Lodge. We would also like to thank you for the constructive feedback, but feel disappointed that you were unable to discuss these with senior management in the first instance. The staffing levels at Mildenhall Lodge are significantly higher than the RCN recommendations, and we continue to review staffing levels weekly so the levels can remain high. We are currently employing some agency staff while we continue to recruit in some roles, and this is a key priority for the home. We encourage all residents and relatives to raise any concerns with us at any time. I’d be very happy to discuss any concerns with you in person, when you next visit the home.
Mum needs help with her hearing aids, often they are not put in correctly, or the batteries are left out or no longer working. Also the lighting is poor, we are still waiting for improvements. Training has been offered several times by a sensory training company. Everyone is very kind.

However I do feel that on occasions there are not enough carers to meet the needs of all the residents ie. when mother rings the bell in need of toileting, there is sometimes a very long delay or when getting residents up in the morning.
I am only able to visit at weekends and so cannot comment on the management team as they do not appear to work then. Receptionist is very good and helpful.

My wife and I were very concerned and apprehensive when we left my father-in-law at the care home. This being a permanent move separating my mother and father-in-law, they had been together for 68 years. We had no need to worry, the very high standard of care and support from all staff has been amazing. My father-in-law has settled extremely well. He is very happy and gets involved in most activities. Many thanks to all concerned!
Very good, excellent. My mum feels very happy and content here. I visit three times a week and I take her for a walk around the lovely gardens. The rooms are very clean and homely.

Very good, excellent. My mum feels very happy and content here. I visit three times a week and I take her for a walk around the lovely gardens. The rooms are very clean and homely. The activities are good and she does try to engage with them but sometimes I am visiting so she misses out. Other than that she really enjoys them.
This home is head and shoulders above our previous experiences of care homes. The staff are so friendly and kind.....my friend in the home also says this regularly. We were apprehensive when changing homes, but this is the best thing we could have done for our loved one. I would highly recommend!

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.
