Derbyshire care group recognised among the UK’s Top 20 Care Home Groups in carehome.co.uk Awards 2026
Family-run care provider Milford Care has been recognised in the carehome.co.uk Top 20 Care Home Group Awards 2026 – Small Groups, achieving an outstanding review score of 9.9 based on independent reviews from residents, relatives and friends.
The annual awards celebrate the most highly recommended care providers across the UK, with rankings determined entirely by feedback from those who experience care first-hand. Milford Care’s score reflects the average rating across all of its six homes in Derby and Nottinghamshire with published reviews on carehome.co.uk.
Pierre Falleth, director of Milford Care, said: “We’re incredibly proud to receive this recognition from carehome.co.uk, particularly because it reflects the experiences of our residents and their families.
“At Milford Care we’re dedicated to encouraging residents to make decisions about their own lives. We place residents at the centre of everything we do and want every individual to feel valued, included and truly at home. Residents and families help shape their care plans and are involved in many aspects of daily life within the home, creating a genuinely inclusive environment.
“Our approach is strongly influenced by Montessori principles, which focus on supporting people to remain as independent as possible while recognising their strengths, life stories and abilities. By understanding each resident as an individual, we can deliver care that is truly personalised and meaningful.”
Milford Care’s approach to care also includes specialist dementia support delivered by highly trained teams. The organisation has received a number of accolades for its dementia services, including the Quality Premium Dementia Award and Nottinghamshire County Council’s Dementia Quality Mark.
Across its homes, residents are encouraged to remain active and involved in daily life through meaningful activities and opportunities that build confidence and purpose, whether helping in the garden, contributing to household tasks or enjoying social experiences with fellow residents.
Over the years, Milford Care has continued to develop its services and strengthen its team of passionate, experienced staff dedicated to delivering high-quality residential and dementia care across the Midlands.
