What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Mills Meadow care home.

My visit today to Mills Meadow to see my mother for the first time in three months [due to the pandemic], but I am very pleased to be able to say that today I encountered nothing but calm, warm and friendly professionalism - an exemplary credit to you and your team. I have been a devoted fan of your brilliant staff ever since my mother moved to Mills Meadow a little more than a year ago and my visit today served to deepen my admiration and respect for the work that you do and the reassuring way in which you do it. Thank you for everything you do.

Son of resident, June 2020

My sincere thank you to all staff for your kindness and help during my four weeks stay.

Resident, October 2019

They know a lot about her background like where she was born, a lot about her working life, things she's interested in and that sort of thing, they are very aware of her as an individual.

Mrs J. R, Relative of a resident, July 2019

I think whenever there has been an issue, for example; a couple of times she has gone to hospital as an emergency, the staff are on it, they know what’s going on, they know her medical history in discussions we have, deal with things promptly and things always worked out very well.

Relative of a resident, July 2019

I was so relieved that we had managed to get [Mum] into such a lovely place with such great people to care for her. I was really feeling so optimistic that she would like her stay with you, and I'm sure she was already begining to feel that too. Thank you so very much for what you did for us. We had looked at lots of care homes and nursing homes in the area, and Mills Meadow stood out as the very best. From our initial enquiry and visit, it was clear that this was a very well-run home with simply excellent facilities, capable, efficient and welcoming staff, and just that atmosphere that made me think "Yes this is the place where I want Mum to be".
