At Buddleia House, the team pride themselves on delivering a level of care that focuses directly on each individual. Their approach centres on restoring residents' sense of independence, keeping them at the heart of everything they do.
Buddleia House is much more than a typical care home. It offers an environment designed to cater to all the senses, creating a unique experience that can only truly be understood by visiting. The home has also recently been awarded a Band 5 Quality Score by Nottinghamshire County Council, reflecting its exceptional standards.
Residents at Buddleia House are encouraged to enjoy and engage in daily living, regardless of their ability or condition. The home features a wide range of amenities, including an indoor garden area, a pub, a library, a pantry, a sweet shop, and creative art and music spaces. Outdoors, residents can enjoy raised garden beds, a beer garden, and other engaging facilities. It’s a care home like no other in Hucknall—residential care the way it should be.
The Montessori philosophy is at the core of everything Buddleia House does. They support residents to be as independent as possible, using positive risk-taking to empower individuals.
The team focuses on residents’ strengths, abilities, life stories, and experiences to help them find purpose and feel valued in their daily lives. Residents are encouraged to take part in meaningful activities, such as household chores or hobbies they enjoy, which can evoke fond memories and stimulate the senses. Activities might include baking a cake, writing a letter, working on a puzzle, playing a game, chair-based exercises, or engaging in art. These activities are designed to match each person’s abilities, boosting their confidence and self-esteem.
Visitors are always welcome to drop in or arrange a visit to explore everything Buddleia House has to offer.

.After things escalated at home, we made the decision to put my mother-in-law in for two weeks' emergency respite to give everybody time away from each other. We knew she would be safe, but even on the first day, we could see her anxiety was gone and she was returning to her happy self. The staff welcomed her back like a friend. The daily activities kept her engaged and happy. Her overall mood improved, and we saw none of the previous anxiety she was showing at home. We were always kept updated. I am so grateful for the support, encouragement and kindness that was shown to her by all staff members
5* All staff are excellent, they all go above & beyond for Josie.

My mum has been a resident at Buddleia House for over 3 years. She suffers from severe dementia. We are very happy with the levels of care offered. The staff are outstanding and very caring and we feel my mum is very well looked after. The activities that the care home put on are of special note. There is always something going off to entertain residents and the place is regularly decorated celebrating different nations and cultures and annual events like halloween etc. The amount of effort that goes in to these things is excellent and particularly Christmas day when the decorations and table settings are exceptional.
We are happy to hear you are satisfied with the care we provide your mum.

First class establishment !! My father has been in there just over 2 years. I can not fault the care he has received.

Although my Dad has now moved on to another facility due to his advancing needs, the support I received from the team during this transition was truly exceptional. They helped me find a more suitable placement and even accompanied him on moving day to ensure he arrived safely, comforted by familiar, friendly faces. This level of kindness and dedication goes far beyond expectation. It's a truly special place that will hold a place in my heart.
I will always be grateful for the care given to my Dad throughout his stay.

Sadly after being a resident in Buddleia House for nearly 4 years my Aunt passed away in August 2025. During the 4 year period she considered Buddleia to be her "home". All through her residency she received excellent care. During her short illness before passing the staff went above and beyond in their care towards her. I will not forget that and I thank them for it.
Thank you for taking the time out to leave us this lovely review.
We deeply miss your aunt she touched the lives of everybody at Buddleia.
Thank you for continuing to visit us and we hope to see you soon.
Sending lots of love from your Buddleia family.
Kind regards

I would like to submit a review of Buddleia House to acknowledge the excellent care being given to our Mother, she is an amputee who's wheelchair bound, she has also been diagnosed with vascular demetia. All her needs are met by staff, we as a family are particulary pleased with the activities and entertainment provided by the home. My Mother is a person who has struggled with depression all of her life, as you can imagine its been harder for her in her present circumstances, the love and care she recieves has been outstanding.
Thank you so much for taking time out to review the home.
We are so happy to hear mum has settled in really well at Buddleia House.

We cannot thank you enough for allowing your father to join our Buddleia family - we are forever changed for having known and loved your father
My brother moved into the home the beginning of 2025. The level of care at this home is outstanding. The staff are amazing, nothing is ever too much trouble, they are so caring and professional. They made my brother's last few months very happy and I thank them all from the bottom of my heart xx

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome your brother into our community along with his whole family! We only wish it could have been for longer but he will always hold a very special place in our hearts.
I cannot praise the staff highly enough for their kindness and compassion for the residents. The place is clean and very homely and I can't think of a better place for my mum.

I have always known that I would find myself caring for others. At 19 I left college and worked in a few different social care settings before finding my passion in dementia care. I started as a care assistant and found myself as a Home Manager at 24 years old and haven't looked back since. I adore empowering people - residents and staff alike.
I am delighted to have joined Milford Care, as I have wanted to be part of Milford Care for some time now; I visited Buddleia House on its open day back in 2019 and I adore the home.’
