Millibrook is an amazing place for my grandma. The staff are always friendly, helpful and have the safety to hand.
My grandma is always clean when I've visited, her food is excellent and the facilities are the best. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum moved to Millbrook in March this year after our family decided she needed full time care support. We are very happy with how she is cared for and the friendliness and compassion of all the staff are of the highest standard. The communication from the staff is excellent and any issues have been
dealt with very professionally and explained properly. Nothing is too much trouble and more importantly my mum is happy at Millbrook and says she feels safe and well cared for. The home itself is very well presented and feels a warm welcoming place for both residents and visitors. I would confidently recommend Millbrook to anyone who is looking for a care home for their elderly relative.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
At the end of May, I was asked to look at the Millbrook Care Home as a possible place for my aunty. I was invited to visit at my convenience. When I turned up I was given a guided tour by a very pleasant, friendly, approachable member of staff. I was shown two resident rooms along with the other facilities
- lounge, dining room, bathrooms and hairdressers. I had previously looked at two other homes in the area, the rooms and facilities at the Millbrook were like a five-star hotel compared to student accommodation at the others. My Aunty took up residency at the beginning of June, she has been made very welcome and settled in quickly. The staff are helpful and do everything to make life at the care home as comfortable as possible.

My dear mum was in Millbrook Care Home for nearly 3 years. She was admitted during the pandemic. I cannot thank them enough for the kindness and love that they demonstrate to my mum throughout her stay. Combined with a beautiful caring ethos that permeates the whole atmosphere of the home. Nothing was
too much trouble not just for Mum but for her relatives too. Thank you one and all

My mum came to Millbrook in September 2022. Although her stay was short, she was looked after with a lot of care and compassion. She made friends with her carers and had a good rapport with the district nurses. Sadly mum passed away in January 2023 aged 104.

My mother has been a resident here for over two years. We are delighted with the care, respect and love shared with Mum, it is truly like having an extended family. Nothing is ever too much trouble and carers/staff will always go that extra mile to help if they can. They are all truly dedicated to their
work. They go above and beyond with activities and trips to various places chosen by the resident and enjoy a good celebration!
The home is safe, clean and welcoming - we love it!

My father went into Millbrook in December 2022. My first impression on entering the building was one of total professionalism at all levels, the building was very clean, and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. My father has settled in very well; he is treated with respect and has been given
a lot of love and understanding from everyone. I cannot praise the work and dedication of the staff enough. It has given both my father and the family real peace of mind.

I would have no hesitation in mum staying at Millbrook if this was possible, sadly she passed away in October. The care and the way staff at the home treated mum before and in her last days was exceptional.
They have also been supportive to me since mum's death. They deserve the recognition given.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mother-in-law has been a resident for over 2 years and settled in well even though it was Covid. It's great that we can now visit more often. I enjoy dropping in on an afternoon when the carers are usually doing a general knowledge quiz (some of the answers can be quite entertaining). The beach party,
when Red the donkey and the ice cream van visited was another good event. Staff are friendly and welcoming, it's good we can mix again and get involved. I certainly recommend this care home.

The staff have been extremely helpful in firstly finding a space for my mother in the facility and then once there, looking after her during the trial period she was in residence


Special thanks to the members of staff who have all made the stay for my mother run as smoothly as possible.

My mum has been at Millbrook for nearly 18 months and throughout this time the care and love shown to my mum has been exceptional. The staff are always helpful, kind and professional, a difficult combination to get right, but they do. These last few weeks have been very hard for all concerned, residents
and staff alike, so just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work and for caring so much for my mum.

Went to the firework display at the home. Pakin cake, Mulled wine and meat and potato pie.
A shout out for the pie, it was delicious.
Lovely time with most of the residents inside sheltering from the cold.

Mum has only been a resident at Millbrook Care Centre for 2 months but the hard work and effort the staff put in to make her 100th birthday special was so impressive especially given the current restrictions. She had a wonderful day. The home is run efficiently and professionally and our family feel
supported. Since moving in the staff have spent time with mum to understand her needs and to help her settle in.

We are very pleased with the way in which the staff have helped my father settle into this new experience in his life. The staff are caring, helpful, sensitive and responsive. He feels safe and well looked after. The staff listen to any concerns and address them. Current COVD restrictions clearly curtail
the extent of activities.

The Millbrook was spotless and attractively presented. All staff I met were helpful, friendly and very resident focused. Thank you.

Genuinely caring staff - my mum feels she is living with friends that look after her. As someone who didn't want to 'end up in a care home', she calls Millbrook her home now and is happy and contented there.
Thank you to the staff for the way you look after our lovely mum. As a dementia sufferer,
she is treated with dignity and respect - and she feels loved.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.810)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.810) 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 4.8 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.810 for Millbrook Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (225 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 273 Ratings = 4.81
  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 23 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 23 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.
