About The Mill House
The Mill House is a residential care home in Skipton, North Yorkshire. We support older adults and younger adults, including many people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. A care home should feel like somewhere a person lives, not somewhere they have been placed. People here keep their own belongings around them, get up and go to bed when it suits them, choose how sociable a given day is going to be, and have visitors at the hours that work for everybody. Help with washing, dressing, medication, meals and appointments is offered without fuss and without taking over anything that is still managed perfectly well alone. For those living with dementia, the things that help most are unglamorous. A calm setting, a day with a dependable shape, unhurried staff, and people who know somebody's history well enough to follow what they mean. We gather that history from families early on and treat it as essential rather than as background. Skipton is part of how we run. Getting out into the town, keeping up with the people somebody has always known, and holding on to long standing interests all matter. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please arrange a visit and come and see for yourself.
