Who are we?

Millennium Care has maintained the same core values and ethos since it was founded in 1993. With six care homes under the Millennium Care umbrella, we ensure every member of staff is committed to providing a luxury service, catering for our residents’ every need. Staff are respectful, kind and provide caring engagement with every single resident.

When it comes to care homes, people expect the finest standards of living for themselves or their loved ones. By combining a family-run ethos with expert care and state-of-the-art facilities, this is exactly what you can expect at Millennium Care.

Millennium Care only works with highly skilled individuals. Our staff get ongoing training to keep them up to date with the best practices across the care spectrum. With specialists in every area – from dementia care to nursing care – we can provide a truly innovative approach to care.

Purpose-built dementia units, fully accessible landscaped gardens, attractive dining rooms, and serene, personalised bedrooms. This is just a taste of our state-of-the-art facilities, which give our residents a luxury living space and provide our staff with the perfect environment for expert care.

From vast menus catering for any dietary requirements to an eclectic programme of events and activities, we allow residents to personalise every aspect of their life at Millennium Care. Family and loved ones can visit around the clock, so residents get true freedom with the assurance of expert care on hand.
