Residents rate Oldham care home as one of the top in the North West

Millfield in Oldham has been chosen by residents and their families as one of the Top 20 care homes in the North West.

There are 1,798 homes in the North West, with the top 20 receiving an award from the UK’s leading reviews guide to care homes, carehome.co.uk.

The award is based on reviews of the care home written by their residents, as well as their friends and relatives.

There are nearly 17,000 care homes in the UK caring for around half a million people.

Over 12,000 of these care homes support older people aged 65 and over, with around half of these older people paying for their own care.

The rest care for people with learning disabilities and mental health issues and are largely funded by their local authorities.

People are living longer, and with 19% of the total population in the UK aged 65 years or older, which equates to 11 million people, demand for care homes is set to grow.

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of carehome.co.uk, said: “We now have over 300,000 reviews of care homes on carehome.co.uk, which means we can give a really good insight into the kind of care and facilities offered by thousands of care homes all over the UK.

“Our reviews show the standard of a care home’s facilities and the quality of their care and support, staff, activities and nutrition as well as if the care home is good value for money.

“We would like to congratulate Millfield on being a Top 20 care home in the North West as their reviews show they provide an excellent standard of care.

"It is such an achievement to be named as a top rated care home by the residents who actually receive the care as well as their family and friends.

“Choosing a care home can be overwhelming and very time consuming for both the person going to live there as well as their family, so we hope our awards which are given to the highest rated homes will help to simplify the search.”

Alison Corley, manager of Millfield, said: “We are delighted to be recognised by carehome.co.uk in its awards.

"When you think of family, Millfield springs to mind and we pride ourselves on our community, companionship, and compassion.

“We are so proud to be in the top 20 care homes for the North West of England and were so close to being in the top 10 currently position 11.

"Never underestimate the power of kindness, a smile and a listening ear, something all our amazing colleagues here offer to our residents on a daily basis.

“Our home has a huge sense of community, and we are proud to work at Millfield supported by and supporting our local community.”
