About Buddleia House Care Home
Buddleia House combines residential, nursing and dementia care with respite and day care through Milford Care. Its daily approach includes activities, entertainment, parties and events involving residents and visiting families. The home is one of the first in the UK to apply the Montessori method to care.
Residents can personalise fully furnished rooms with photographs and belongings. Meals are prepared to accommodate allergies, religious requirements and personal choices. Families can arrange short stays, day visits or trial periods, while flexible visiting hours support regular contact. Buddleia House therefore offers families a care setting where dementia support, active engagement and practical trial options sit alongside one another.

How much does Buddleia House Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Buddleia House Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Nottinghamshire council paid on average £841 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
