Milford Manor Care Home

Milford Manor is a specialist residential care service for adults and older people with a mental health challenge that may include complex dementia. At Milford Manor, which is a short walk from the countryside and River Bourne, residents are provided 24 hour support to protect their wellbeing, whether it is required on a short-term or long-term basis.

The service is widely recognised for its innovative approach and draws on the work of specialist mental health & dementia centres like Stirling, Surrey and Bradford universities to translate their research findings into practical ways to help and support people with a mental health illness and or complex dementia disease.

Services provided at Milford Manor are designed specifically to reduce any anxiety or confusion that residents may experience and allows them to have freedom and choice in their daily lives as well as being encouraged to be as independent as possible and regularly involving friends and family in visits and activities.

There is overt, passive HD CCTV provided in all communal areas which is used to support care assessments and intervention as well as provide extra levels of safe guarding assurance for residents and their families, friends and our staff.

We work with a wide range of external health practitioners such as dentists, opticians and hairdressers and frequently arrange visits to cater to the needs to our residents. We also arrange a varied timetable of fun and exciting activities for residents to take part in including animal workshops, live music, arts and crafts, home baking, social events and visits to the local town and day trips to the beach – just to name a few. All our homes also cater for special diets and provide a varied fresh menu for residents to choose from, or even place an order for something they fancy that is not necessarily on the menu.

Our staff take the time and trouble to get to know all residents as individuals and understand what really makes them tick. All of the staff, at every level, receive specific specialist training and are supported by an experienced senior team who in turn are supported by a multi-disciplinary mental health support service. This is a service that often achieves positive sustainable results when others have not.

Regular groups are held to allow relatives to offer feedback while also providing information and emotional support to the wider family members of every resident.
