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.
