My severely dependent husband has been a resident at Millfield House for 17 years. His needs are extremely complex and require specialist attention. He is extremely limited using a wheelchair and hoist, communication equipment due to lack of voice and is fed by a carer due to lack of any independent
movement. I have witnessed the changes over the years at Millfield House but, despite a troubled and worrying time of less than adequate care and leadership for a while, I find the new Manager (since Sept 2019) and her ‘team’ have stepped up to the challenge of meeting a whole range of different physical disabilities in a much more coordinated and actively kind manner. Communication is better, reassurance for my husband and for our family enhanced, inclusion of the scene surrounding care is tackled in a dignified and intuitive way, making life worth living and accepting the disabilities so that they almost ‘disappear’ and days are enjoyed with good friends as they should be. Thank you.
