About Mill River Lodge
Mill River Lodge is a nursing home in Horsham, West Sussex, offering both residential and nursing care for older people and for younger adults who need skilled support. Because we provide residential and nursing care in one place, people can often stay with us as their health changes rather than having to move again when needs increase. We look after people living with dementia and people with complex medical conditions, and we welcome respite stays for families needing a break or for someone recovering after a spell in hospital. We start with the person. What time do you like to get up, what do you enjoy eating, who do you want to see, what can you still do yourself and what would you rather have help with. Those answers shape the care plan, and the clinical side of things fits around them wherever it safely can. Where somebody is living with dementia we keep the day familiar and unhurried, and our staff are trained to look for the cause of distress rather than simply managing it. Relatives are welcome throughout the day, and we take the view that families should hear from us before they have to ask, particularly when something has changed. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are considering Mill River Lodge for someone close to you, come and visit, talk to the nurses and carers and see whether it feels like somewhere they could be at home.
