This May, we’re focusing on mental health and wellbeing during Mental Health Awareness Week (12-18 May 2025). At Millbrook Healthcare, we view mental wellbeing as a vital part of our overall health journey. Our commitment goes beyond words – we strive to foster an environment where every employee and service user feels supported, valued, and heard.
Enhancing wellbeing for our service users
We know that emotional wellbeing plays a vital role in overall health, which is why we focus on creating a sense of safety and independence for the people we support:
Community Equipment Services
We provide essential equipment to help individuals maintain independence in their own homes.Technology Enabled Care (TEC)
Alarms, sensors, and telephony services help promote independent living and enable early medical intervention if needed.Home Adaptations
Simple modifications, like installing stair lifts or grab rails, can significantly reduce stress and anxiety by enhancing safety and comfort.
By offering these practical solutions, we help ease worries and empower our service users to live as independently as possible, contributing positively to their mental health.
Supporting our teams
Our employees are at the heart of everything we do. Their dedication ensures that vulnerable individuals receive the care and support they need to live safely and independently. In return, we’re devoted to creating a workplace culture that promotes mental and emotional wellbeing:

Remember to take breaks, step outside for fresh air, and prioritise your wellbeing. Small changes can make a big difference in how we feel each day.
These measures reflect our core values and our ongoing commitment to caring for one another.
