What Our Families Say

I felt immediately at home on arriving at Water Mill House where I received wonderful care. The staff are all amazing, friendly, compassionate and caring. I was so impressed with all the activities that are organised. My congratulations to all management and staff on the way the home which run and grateful thanks to all.

Jill

Resident

We came to Water Mill House to have lunch with my brother. We were greeted and met with great courtesy and had a coffee in the Bistro. The ambiance was lovely and the staff were friendly and helpful. Lunch was wonderful, tasty and beautifully presented. Our experience was very positive and I feel my brother is in excellent hands.

Mike

Resident’s brother

The nursing team and carers cannot do enough for Mum. The weekly doctor’s visits and the attention to detail has been amazing. A 5-star experience for our beloved mum. Thank you to the manager and the team, you really have lived up to your promises.

Susan

Resident’s daughter

Mum is so much more active and is busy going on outings, joining in using her walker, things that were not happening previously. Highly recommend.

Anne

Resident’s daughter

I could not wish for a better place to for my husband who has late stages of Parkinson’s. The care and kindness from every member of staff is unbelievable. They give him his dignity, but health and safety always comes first. I don’t know where we would be without Water Mill Care Home.

Clare

Wife

I can’t describe my sense of gratitude that our brother is being cared for with such compassion and diligence. The care home both cares and is a real home. We were served the most delicious lunch and treated as real family members, not tiresome visitors. 5 stars all round!

Sue H

Resident’s sister

Water Mill House is a lovely care home with very good facilities and kind and welcoming staff. They have been unfailingly kind and supportive to me and my husband, who has used the day centre service for nearly a year.”

Kay

Resident’s wife

My mother spent the last few weeks of her life on the dementia floor. We were very impressed by the kindness and respect with which all the residents were treated. The way Mother (and we) were cared for at the end of her life was excellent. We are very grateful to all the staff that we can look back on this difficult time with the comfort of knowing that Mum was in the right place and with the right people around her.

Sue C

Resident’s daughter

This is a very caring care home. It has a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. We arranged for a family get-together in the private dining room. The service was excellent and the food was so delicious. It was a happy and relaxed occasion. 5-star food!

Elizabeth

Resident’s Wife

Dad’s passing was peaceful, pain-free and dignified. The staff were awesome, so caring, kind and gentle. He passed away in a comfortable bed in a safe and secure and loving environment. I cannot praise and thank the staff and management of Water Mill House enough, it’s a truly caring family atmosphere.

🍩✨ WISH WEDNESDAY COMES AROUND WITH A BAKER’S TALE! ✨🍩

This weeks wish took us on a delicious trip down memory lane… with a jam-filled detour! 😋

Ruth remembered Simmons Bakers very well. Her father-in-law lived next door to Reg Simmons in Hatfield, and after his shifts, Reg would often bring home trays of leftover cakes to share with Ruth’s family. ❤️

And Ruth’s favourite? The classic jam doughnut, of course! 🍩❤️
Soft, sweet, tempting… and absolutely FULL of jam! 😂

It’s been over 15 years since Ruth’s last visit, so we thought it was time to bring back a little taste of the past.

A delicious doughnut, a lovely cuppa ☕️ and a whole lot of happy memories. Sometimes the simplest treats are the sweetest! 🥰

🍩 Jam today, memories forever! 🍩

🌾👀 SCARECROWS HERE, SCARECROWS THERE… SCARECROWS EVERYWHERE! 👀🌾

The Scarecrow Festival 2026 had arrived… and Water Mill House joined in! 🎉

Our residents got creative and made scarecrows representing their past professions — can you match the scarecrow to the resident? 🤔🧑‍🌾👩‍🍳👨‍🔧👩‍🏫

We proudly renamed ours “Care-Crows” and they were on show at St Mary’s Church, Apsley ⛪🌾

And it seems our straw filled friends made quite an impression… the Vicar absolutely loved our entry! ❤️👏

🌾 Care-Crows: standing telling our stories! 🌾
