Meet The Manager
Nicki Bramble is Care Home Manager at Mill House.
Nicki started working in Health and Social Care as a qualified Nurse in 1986. She worked on the Ophthalmology ward, ENT and ran outpatient clinics at St Georges Hospital in London. When Nicki moved to Oxfordshire, she worked as an agency nurse and discovered how much she enjoyed working in Nursing Homes. When she isn’t working, Nicki enjoys long country walks with her dogs, competitive cycling and climbing mountains such as Snowdon!
Words of encouragement from Nicki for someone looking for the right home would be: “It’s not the place, it’s the people that make a home. It has to feel warm, welcoming and comfortable.”
You'll find Mill House Care Home in the heart of the beautiful ancient market town Witney in Oxfordshire.
Excellently situated, the home is centrally located near to all of the market town’s amenities, including shops, restaurants, a cinema and the tranquil church green. Our home is set across three floors, and there are communal lounges and dining rooms on the ground floor, as well as a lovely garden, meaning peace and quiet is never far away.

|
With 34 bedrooms offering residential and nursing care, we think carefully about the type of room each resident needs. All the rooms are en-suite with toilet and wash basin facilities. There are bath and shower rooms on each floor for residents to use with or without assistance. Half of our rooms are located in the renovated part of the building meaning they’re filled with period features and vary in size. The other half are newer rooms of a standard size, as well as three larger bedrooms. All our rooms are finished to the highest specifications with new furniture, soft furnishings and fittings. We have designed the rooms with your comfort in mind. Your bedroom furniture consists of: an appropriate bed suitable to your needs, wardrobe, bedside table with lockable drawer, armchair and other furniture suitable to the size of the room. Your bed linen and towels are provided by the home. We understand that moving into Mill House will be a considerable transition, but one we try to make feel as easy as possible. Your room is your own personal space, which is why we encourage you to personalise it if you like, by hanging your favourite pictures or bringing small pieces of furniture. |
