About Millbrook House

Millbrook House is a residential care home in Derbyshire, offering a place where young adults and their families can feel genuinely supported and understood. The team there works to create a sense of stability and belonging for the people in their care. Families considering Millbrook House will find a service that takes its responsibilities seriously and aims to provide a safe, comfortable home for those who live there.

Millbrook House provides accommodation and personal care for up to eight young adults with learning disabilities and autistic spectrum disorder. The service occupies an adapted manor house with one main communal lounge, en-suite bedrooms, and some residents have their own lounges and kitchens. The building sits within grounds that also house a children's service, allowing some young people to transition from the children's to the young adults service.

Inspectors noted that the service had not been designed in line with best practice guidance to support residents in living full lives. The physical environment and service structure reflected this gap in alignment with contemporary approaches to residential care for this population.
