My mum was a permanent resident at Millbrook Care home in Stalybridge which I had recommended to me. We were more than happy with the care that my mum (Kathleen) received from Claire, Cathy, + all the team. The care home had been my mums home for 4+ years and has a very welcome feel, rather than clinical.
Claire held relatives meeting where she would listen to what we had to say + improve wherever possible. Thank you again to all at Millbrook care home for all that you did for my mum. We will always be forever grateful.

My sister has been at the home for two months now and has settled in reasonably well; as it has taken adjustment to living in a very different way of life to tht she was used to.
On the whole she has been well looked after, the food is good and varied, though a little more fresh fruit could be available
and the accommodation is very good. Maybe a bit too warm in the room at times.

Overall I believe the care provided by the staff us of an excellent quality. My only reservation to give an overall score of excellent was down to the fact that I feel the decor looks tired and is in urgent need of upgrade.

Millbrook Care home is an excellent facility where the staff are all friendly and helpful and I feel my mum is being looked after really really well. Given Mum's lack of mobility combined with early onset dementia she is safe and sound and I am 100% happy with the care and service that Mum receives
from the home and all the staff in it. The manager Claire has an open door policy and she along with all the staff are always willing to answer any queries or concerns about Mum and her day-to-day care needs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has recently moved to Millbrook and was very apprehensive of moving into a care home. My brother and I looked at a number of homes and Millbrook was heads and shoulders above everything else . From the moment we entered the home the manager and her staff were amazing, really taking an interest
in my father and his needs . From the moment he arrived his care has been second to none. A month and a half into his time he has expressed how happy, content and safe he feels. I cannot recommend Millbrook and the care staff highly enough. I m Living three hours away and to know my father is so happy and well looked after at Millbrook, gives me an unbelievable sense of relief.
Thank you Manager and team

The staff at Millbrook have not only helped my aunt at a difficult time, but also myself. I feel they have gone above and beyond our expectations and have adapted brilliantly to my aunt's specific requests. As a relative I feel confident that she is looked after and kept safe which I cannot thank the
staff enough for.

Hi
My father - has been a resident at Millbrook Care Home, Millbrook, Stalybridge since 17 December last year.
I wanted to let you know that I have been totally impressed with the professionalism, dedication and friendliness of all the staff that work there and care for dad and the other residents.


I

particular two senior nurses, have been particularly brilliant in the way they communicate with Dad and myself. One gores beyond, in my opinion, what she must be paid for and its obvious that she and her colleagues don't just work there they are dedicated to the providing AAA standard service. They are always happy, positive and have time to speak irrespective of their other commitments.
If you could pass this down to their line manager I would appreciate it as I think I'd like to be thanked for the work I do so they certainly need a big thankyou and the owners appreciate the caring staff that work there.
Kind Regards

The care facilities at Millbrook Care Home were excellent. It was always clean and tidy and maintained to a high standard.
The staff were amazing, everyone was polite and friendly with a caring nature. The care they gave my grandma was exceptional.
At the time my grandma was there, she was happy and
well looked after. My grandma would always tell me how wonderful the staff were. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they always did their best for her, keeping us informed with her care. I would highly recommend Millbrook Care Home!

Due to my mother having a stroke, the very prompt actions of the care home staff and paramedics getting her to hospital promptly means she recovered quickly and is now back in the care home, a big thank you to everyone.

A lovely home with friednly, helpful staff.
Mum has always been a people person but isn't missing well but I put that down to the fact that there is very little interaction between the residents which is probably the reason most are residents at Millbrook, Mum's reason for being there is her lack of
mobility. The staff have a difficult job to do and I thank them for looking after Mum.

Our father was a resident at Millbrook for four and a half years. During that time the care he received was excellent. He knew all the staff by name and they all knew him and took time to chat and laugh with him. The last few weeks before his death were very difficult for him and the staff showed extreme
kindness and compassion both to him and to our family. We have nothing but praise for them all.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Millbrook Care CentreThank you for your kinds words, we are pleased you were very happy with the quality of care your Dad received at Millbrook care home, kindness is at the heart of everything we do. We will ensure your kind words are shared with the team.

Mum has been a resident at the home for almost 2.5 years and during that time the staff have always provided a very professional and supportive kind of care. Following a couple of falls late 2023, the staff went "above and beyond" to provide the care Mum needed to re-settle after the disruption caused
by the falls. Overall the family is very happy with the overall standards provided.

The manager contacts me should any issues arise so my mother's care is unaffected and she is completely relaxed and cared for and stress-free. Thank you for putting the family at ease

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.712)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.712) out of 10 for Millbrook Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.712 for Millbrook Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (189 Excellents x 5) + (67 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.712
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Millbrook Care Centre is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
