Milford House
Milford, derbyshire

Person-centered residential and nursing care in Derbyshire
Milford House is more than just a care home; it is a place filled with warmth, history, and a true sense of belonging. Once the country residence of industrial pioneer Jedediah Strutt, our elegant Georgian home has been offering exceptional care for over 30 years. Today, its charm is complemented by a stylish refurbishment, featuring beautifully designed en-suite bedrooms and welcoming communal spaces.
From the moment you arrive, you will feel the friendly, family-like atmosphere that makes Milford House so special. Our compassionate team puts residents first in everything we do, creating a warm and nurturing environment where everyone feels valued. We believe in giving residents a sense of purpose, offering meaningful roles and activities that enhance quality of life and promote independence.
For those requiring specialist support, the adjoining Coach House provides expert nursing care in a peaceful and comfortable setting. Come visit us and experience the warmth and joy that make our home truly unique.

At Milford House, we believe in creating a home where every resident’s unique abilities, life story, and experiences are truly valued. Our approach centers around encouraging independence, supporting meaningful activities, and finding ways for residents to stay engaged. We embrace positive risk-taking to help maintain their dignity and sense of purpose, while focusing on what they can do, rather than what they can’t.
From tending to the beautifully manicured gardens to enjoying trips to the nearby pub, we provide opportunities for residents to engage in activities that bring them joy. Each day offers new chances to connect with others, develop new skills, or simply enjoy the little things that make life special. These activities are designed to enrich the mind and body, ensuring our residents feel accomplished and fulfilled.
At Milford House, we ensure each resident enjoys the things they love, creating lasting memories and fostering meaningful connections. It’s all about helping them live with purpose and feel truly at home.

Meet the Care Home Manager
Nicole Thompson
With a lifelong passion for elderly care, I understand the challenges families face when transitioning a loved one into care. My journey began as a live-in carer, leading to roles in residential homes, the NHS, and an MSc in Nursing. After years at The Royal Derby Hospital, I became Clinical Lead at Milford Care, where I now proudly serve as Manager. We embrace the Montessori Ethos, ensuring dignity and compassionate care.
I am dedicated to supporting families through this transition, providing reassurance that their loved ones are in safe hands. To me, Milford Care is more than a home – it’s family.
