Our Montessori Way Of Life
Our Montessori way of life is at the heart of everything we do. We support our residents to be as independent as possible and look for ways to ensure a person can do something using positive risk-taking.
We focus on a residents’ strengths and abilities, their life story and experiences and use these to help them find purpose and feel valued in their day to day life with us. We encourage residents to partake in meaningful roles, such as helping with household chores, and activities that they enjoy which may trigger fond memories and engage their senses, including doing art, doing a puzzle, playing a game, chair based exercising, baking a cake or writing a letter. All of these pleasurable hobbies boost confidence and self-esteem and will be designed to match the person’s abilities.
Meet Your Care Home Manager
Rachel Squire
Home Manager
I began my caring career at 19 years old as a care assistant and worked my way up to being a Home Manager over a decade ago. When I found Milford Care in 2023, it was like coming home.
Our ethos and values are so unique, and our passion for what we do makes Milford Care a very special place to be a part of. I love that every day is different at the Meadows, there is a diverse and unique community of people here, and I love to celebrate that.
I thrive in a busy environment with lots to do, and The Meadows is just that! I love to bring positivity and laughter to our home.
Outside of work, I love to keep busy, spending time with my family and singing in a choir based in Belper.

Today’s book club took us on a trip through time and style! 💇♀️📚 We explored “Off to the Hairdressers: The History of the Hairdresser and Barber” and had a lively discussion about how hair trends (and tools!) have changed over the years. Lots of memories, laughs, and a few shared salon stories too! 💬✂️ #BookClub #CareHomeMoments #HairThroughHistory #dementiathemontessoriway
