On my most recent visit I was met as usual with a cheerful welcome from staff, and my aunt a much appreciated member of the family. At a planned assessment meeting it was clear that my aunt is known, and the challenges she faces in her extreme old age are skilfully, professionally and kindly
effected.

Mum has dementia and has been a resident of the coach house for a few years. Her condition is deteriorating and her mood is variable. No matter how Mum is, all of the staff are wonderful with her, patient and kind with a real concern for her wellbeing. The staff know us, we are greeted with smiles
and it feels like we are part of a family. We are always kept informed about Mum's care.

Very caring staff nothing too much trouble. If I can't attend a phone calls is never too much trouble. Mum been here for three months and haven't a negative comment.

Mum went to Milford House in early December for respite after an op. The staff have, without exception, been outstanding in making mum welcome and helping her to settle in. They are kind, understanding and supportive. They do and say all the right things, and they are really getting to know Mum
well. Their expertise and compassion shine out, and it is clear when we visit that they know all the residents so well. An example of this was choir practice, when with much humour and respect and knowledge of likes, dislikes and past experiences, everyone was warmly included, making it a very positive and enjoyable afternoon. Support for us as a family has been outstanding too and hugely appreciated, especially in the quite challenging Christmas period. Thank you all.

Mum's dementia has reached the stage where she could not cope at home, even with multiple visits from home carers. The carers at Milford House are genuinely caring. The staffing ratios seem to be good.

Mum moved up to Coach House from the main house she seems generally settled and calm although her condition is deteriorating. There are fewer activities but I understand this has been addressed. She does not engage much which is not the fault of the staff. Staff are unfailingly kind and take the
time to respond when required.

The care received by my dad Geoffrey is of the highest standard.
All of the staff during the 3 years that dad has been a resident have showed great compassion and work so hard to make sure dad is cared for and loved.
Milford is an amazing place with amazing people.

As soon as we arrived at Milford House we were made to feel very welcome. The staff are all very encouraging, and Mum loves taking part in all the activities. Her room is always kept spotless and the facilities in the home are to a high standard. Mum has enjoyed a good selection of interesting food.
The kitchen staff are most helpful and are aware of nutritional needs. Mum is happy and settled in Milford House and we would like to thank every member of staff for their continued commitment and support in meeting Mum's needs.

I've had a fantastic experience with Milford House. The staff are all lovely and very attentive despite clearly being busy. My grandma has nothing but positive things to say about her time so I couldn't ask for more.
The staff have gone above and beyond facilitating regular video calls for which I
am extremely grateful.

It was a difficult decision to put Mum into a care home but definately the right one. The staff are brilliant with her and very attentive to her needs. They keep us very well informed so we know how well cared for she is and have no worries at all.

My Mother has been a resident of Milford Home since about Apr/May of 2024, I did as much research on the home as I could and finally got the opportunity to visit with some family members in April of 2025. I can't express my gratitude enough to how accommodating the staff members were to facilitate
our visit, there were a lot of us. To be able to see what a lovely home this was for my Mother to be living in and the genuine kindness, caring and love the staff have for the residents was more than I had expected. I live in Arizona and can only visit once a year, my mind is at ease that she is getting the best possible care. I can email as often as I like and they respond quickly. A big shoutout and many Thanks to all

My mother in law moved into Milford House at the beginning of July 2025. We have been very happy with the care she has received and the staff have helped her to settle in. There is a really lovely atmosphere at the care home and staff go out of their way for their residents and always greet us with
a smile when we visit. The staff are always happy to provide updates about care and treatment. All of the staff are very helpful and kind but a few stand out even further to us for their professionalism. We want to say a really big thank you to all of the staff there but particularly those 4 who have really helped my mother in law to settle in. Many thanks for caring and doing what you do!

All our exchanges with the staff at Milford House have exceeded expectation. They aren't just professional and knowledgable, they are kind, caring and take an active interest in my father. He has gone from strength to strength since moving in, the lovely surroundings are clean and well maintained
and his fears have been listened to attentively and managed coordinating with family members. Getting older isn't always easy but Milford House has offered not just a House but a Home, safety and security. Thank you to all the staff for your unfailing smiles and your positive outlook
