The Mill House is an elegant, modern care home providing residential care for older people living with dementia.
The Mill House is located in the heart of Skipton. It has good road links to nearby villages, and it is close to the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
The home provides a lovely environment that incorporates the latest care technology to support high-quality care, including long-term care, trial stays, respite care, shorter stays, and convalescence.
Facilities include a private dining room, hair and beauty salon and several activity areas. The private gardens include seating areas, raised beds and paths for residents and their loved ones to enjoy the outdoors.
The team receives ongoing training to ensure the highest standard of care. Each resident has an individual digital care plan to support their interests, medical needs, and daily life.
Menus are freshly cooked on site at The Mill House to suit each resident's tastes, preferences, and dietary requirements.
The Mill Lodge provides eight care suites which can support individuals or couples with low care needs but would benefit from peace of mind. The Mill Lodge also includes a canal-side café, linked to the main home by a covered walkway.
The Mill House is proud to have achieved Veteran Friendly Framework (VFF) accreditation, providing tailored support for veterans. Activities are arranged with resident input.
The home benefits from several sustainable features. The solar panels allow the home to run fully on solar power during the summer.

The stress of facing not being able to care for your parent yourself is immense. Knowing she’s safe, happy, clean, respected and stimulated means the world. Mill House has beautiful surroundings yes. It puts five-star hotels to shame! But it’s the staff that make this place special. Every single staff member you meet, be it cleaners, cooks, office staff or caregivers, all are professional and for me most importantly kind.

My mum is a resident of The Mill House, and I am very pleased with the care she is provided with. The staff are all approachable, kind and caring. Activities are provided. Her room is spotless, and my mum is kept clean. The rooms are an excellent size, and the communal areas are bright and welcoming. I particularly like that we can spend time with Mum out of her room.
The Mill House is brilliant - like a five-star hotel! The first time that I walked around it I was blown away. There is no problem parking up when visiting. Lots of outdoor seating space. They have been looked after my father for 3 years and I have never had a problem whatsoever.

Hello, I am Sharleen Polley, general manager of The Mill House care home and The Mill Lodge care suites. I have worked for Anchor for 9 years and previously I was the manager at Anchor’s Thornton Hill care home which we decanted and moved into The Mill House in July 2023.
As a home manager, I am very passionate about leading and equipping my team with the knowledge and resources to enable them to deliver the highest standards of care and services to those who choose to live with us. I take great pride in ensuring the residents are at the heart of all the decisions I make. Please know my door is always open.
Away from work, I love going long walks with my dog and going on holidays.

My name is Jacqueline Ashley and I’m the Home Administrator at The Mill House and The Mill Lodge. I will support you and your loved ones with your resident contract, account management and other administrative duties. I moved to The Mill House after working at Anchor’s Thornton Hill Home for 11 years. Thornton Hill was a charming old Manor House, a stark contrast from The Mill House, which is a very luxurious brand new build.
The residents are still and always will be, the centre of our priority no matter where we are, but how lovely to care for them in such lovely surroundings.
When I am not at work I enjoy walking, wild swimming and being out in nature.
