Review from George M (Resident) published on 5 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have been a resident at Millfield for approx 2 years. During this time I have noticed a deterioration in most of the residents during my stay here. I have noticed the staff cope with this very well. If I at any time have any worries concerns or requests they management are always there to help and
support me.

I find Millfield House to be a very lovely and safe place for my mother to stay. She has been at Millfield since 2021 and in this time I have found all the staff to be wonderful, caring, kind, patient and very hard working.
All taking excellent care of my mum.
I would have no hesitation in recommending
Millfield to any family or friends.

My dad has been in Millfield for a number of years. The care he receives from the staff is first class. The meals are lovely. His room is really nice with a beautiful wet room to care for Dad's needs when showering. The staff treat all the residents like they are family and are always there to chat
and make you feel very welcome with a cup of tea/coffee and lovely homemade cake.

Review from Andrea W (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 June 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been in Millfield House for nearly a year. He has Parkinson's and Lewibody dementia. When he arrived he was painfully thin and extremely confused. In the past year with the care and devotion of the staff he has gained nearly two stone in weight and is eating much better. He socialises
with the residents and staff and has greatly improved.
The manager and the staff regularly update me, as I live in London and I get sent lovely photos of his time and days out.
I am extremely happy with all aspects of care and devotion shown not to just my father but also to his wife.
The manager goes above and beyond, as do all of the support staff.
Millfield is clean and a great environment for someone with dementia and I feel that without the care and support, he would be in a terrible way.
Thank you Millfield family for everything that you all do.

My mother has lived in Millfield House for a number of years, I have seen how happy it makes my mother to be somewhere, where she feels safe and cared for by the wonderful staff at Millfield House. They take their time to talk to me and my family about my mother's care.
She has recently taken part
in the dementia U.K. walk with the assistance of family and the staff. She also enjoys the monthly coffee and cake mornings in the bespoke café area that offers privacy and comfort for all the family to visit her at the same time. She also enjoys socialising with the other service users in the home to take part in the various fun and meaningful activities in the home.
My mother likes the food and homemade cakes that are made in the home.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.529)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.529) out of 10 for Millfield House 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.829 for Millfield House is calculated as follows: ( (71 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 82 Ratings = 4.829
  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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Millfield House is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 7 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.
