Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My partner was admitted to Mill View care home in early 2015 and was not expected to live much longer.
He died in my arms on 30th March 2017 peacefully on a beautiful spring day in his room at Mill View. It is to the credit of the home manager her predecessor and all the staff that my partner lived
for over two years with the greatest of care and concern and I am very grateful to them all.

Pleased with all care facilities. Staff are friendly and always helpful. Residents are dressed appropriately for the time of day. Food and snacks are in frequent supply and the "village shop" is handy for residents to choose their own sweets and toiletries. The coffee shop is excellent, though would
benefit from more mugs which are easier to handle than cups and saucers.

Review from Stephanie S (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved into Mill View in early December 2015, when she was deemed to be 'unsafe' living in her own home with a live-in carer. From the outset, we were struck by the warmth and friendliness of all the staff we encountered. The administrative staff smoothed our path to enable my mother to move
in within a couple of days, and the nursing and care staff showed great compassion and care towards my mother from the outset. My mother was always neat and clean and was encouraged by the staff to join in the many activities offered daily in the home or to sit with other residents in the lounge, where the staff were regularly interacting with them. My mother, who suffered from dementia, was helped and encouraged in every appropriate way but was never, to my knowledge, coerced or forced to do something she did not wish to. The staff showed infinite patience right up to the time of my mother's death and I am grateful to them all for their excellent level of care.

Review from Denise K (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has just moved in (10 days ago) after having falls and losing her confidence to walk without support from nursing staff. In just a week, she has gained confidence to walk with a Zimmer frame independently. She has taken a new interest in her appearance and for the first time in years wanted to use
the hairdresser. She is joining in activities and talking to and interacting with the residents which is lovely as previously she would be reluctant to leave her house - even for family gatherings. The staff are lovely - they always have time for the residents and relatives, they know the resident's names and want to help them. They are all working as a team. Management, catering, maintenance, cleaners, laundry - all interact together and are open and honest in what they do. The residents come first and their needs are primarily important but so is the need to have fun and the staff all work to ensure this.

Review from Gill C (Resident) published on 16 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I stayed at Mill View for 5 weeks following open heart surgery, as I lived alone and had no-one to care for me full time following the operation. The care I received was totally appropriate for my needs. Helping me to complete independence over my time there. The staff were always friendly and helpful
but I did feel they were rather overworked, especially at weekends and were not able to spend as much time with each resident that they would have liked.
All the rooms are en-suite, very roomy and well furnished including the wet room. Lounge areas are good and many activities are provided for residents if they want them as are all public areas.

Staff very good, food very good, more exercise for younger residents would be appreciated. Better use of garden in good weather would make sense. Generally very happy with service.

Mill view is the nicest, cleanest care home I have ever visited. The staff are friendly, caring and engage the clients as well as looking after them to an extremely high standard. The whole experience of putting my father in a care home was very smooth and the management were very supportive. I can
not recommend this place enough, my father loves it here. I would highly recommend Mill View, you can be assured that your family member will have the best care possible here.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.961)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.961) out of 10 for Mill View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.961 for Mill View is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.961
  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 Mill View is based on 15 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 15 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

I am a dual-qualified and registered adult and children’s nurse with 40 years of experience. I spent 25 years in the NHS in a variety of roles, from Registered General Nurse to Paediatric Ward Manager. I left the NHS in 2007 after completing a Level 5 Leadership and Management course in order to manage a care home.


Being a Home Manager carries huge responsibilities. You have to be a good communicator and have a passion for caring for others. However busy it gets, I take the time to walk around the home and speak with residents, relatives and colleagues. It always reminds me of what differences we're making in people’s lives. My team is amazing, and I look forward to working with them every day.


When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my husband and two rescue dogs who we adore. When I can, I also like to travel up north to see my children and grandson. But most days you’ll find me pottering in the garden or curled up with a good book.
