I have been very impressed by the friendliness and welcome provided. A great deal of time was dedicated to the initial assessment and then our preliminary visit. This was so important for us both and the emphasis was very much on the individual and their specific needs and requirements. The decor is
very tasteful and the bedrooms and facilities are beautifully maintained. Lovely gardens for residents to use. I can vouch for the quality of the food as well. The residents I spoke to were very happy living in The Millings. To be recommended.

My father has recently made the difficult move away from his home in Bradford and moved to the Millings in Bedale so that he could be closer to his family. The staff at the Millings have made the transition seamless and painless. In the few weeks of moving he has improved in both health and stability;
able to walk freely around the beautiful gardens without the aid of his trusty Lekki pole.
The food is beyond reproach and my father loves the variety and quality. A major secret to the success at the Millings is the excellent activity programme. They are committed to engaging all members of the home to enjoy some level of activity and interaction which is beneficial to their health and well-being. Thank you to all the staff and helpers.

Very caring staff. They try and fill your day with activities to occupy us. We have freedom of choice and don't feel regimental. I feel this is as good a home as we would get. Feels like home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.777)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.777) out of 10 for The Millings is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.877 for The Millings is calculated as follows: ( (93 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.877

  • b) 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Millings is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3.9

    • ii) 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
