Buddleia House
Hucknall, Nottinghamshire
A thriving community - not a posh hotel
Forget the glossy brochures and hotel-like care homes that focus on appearances over substance. Buddleia House is different. Here, care isn’t a checklist or a set of scheduled activities – it’s in everything we do, every single moment of every single day.
We don’t provide fancy chandeliers and a grand entrance foyer. Instead, we invest in everything that makes a difference to the residents’ quality of life.
Buddleia House is a thriving community; a place of laughter, connection, and real relationships, where carers truly understand each resident’s needs and go beyond surface-level support.
Buddleia House has been uniquely designed with total focus on meaningful living. Drawing on best practices in dementia care, design, nutrition, technology, and meaningful engagement, we’ve created an environment where residents are enabled, find purpose and a sense of belonging. Our efforts have been recognised with accolades such as the highest quality ratings from the Council and an Outstanding rating for Effective care by the Care Quality Commission.
Montessori Care – living with purpose, not just being cared for
Traditional care homes focus on providing what’s lost—mobility, memory, independence. We focus on what’s still possible. Our Montessori-inspired care ensures that residents continue to engage, contribute, and live with purpose.
All our staff, not just carers, have a role to play in our jigsaw culture, and that’s why everyone is expertly trained professionals in Montessori Care methods. We pour resources into training because we believe that exceptional care isn’t an extra.

Meet the Care Home Manager
Rachel Squire
I have always known that I would find myself caring for others. At 19, I left college and worked in a few different social care settings before finding my passion in dementia care.
I began my career as a care assistant and found myself as a Home Manager for a care home at 24 years old, and haven’t looked back since! I’m very excited to be a part of Milford Care – they have a great ethos and have values that match mine, including empowering and engaging with residents and staff.
I’m always on the go but that’s how I like it! I have a gorgeous 5-year-old daughter who keeps me on my toes. We love spending time outside looking for fairies, and I’m also in a choir based in Belper, so I am always ready to sing songs.
