Quality Projects
We are delighted to receive the first of our new Milford House brochures which
showcase the philosophy and services offered at the home and captures the
elegance and charm of our unique building. Over the past 2 years steady
improvements and refurbishment have enhanced the ambiance of the home for
our residents enjoyment and for them to host their family an d visitors.
Our TIME Project which is a collabora)on between Milford House and the UNSW
Tiggers preschool con)nues to build warm and meaningful rela)onships. The
early results of the qualita)ve measures taken by the university researchers look
promising and the project is on course to conclude by the end of the year.
In addi)on to the UNSW research team, Milford House is also hos)ng a partnership with
Macquarie University’s Behavioural Sciences faculty by providing 3rd year psychology
students an opportunity for 4 weeks clinical placement to enhance their studies.
Through these affilia)ons Milford Houses maintains community and educa)onal links to
ensure staff skills and knowledge are influenced by best prac)ce methodology to
con)nuously improve our residents quality of life.

For those visi)ng on 26th August a “Host of golden daffodils” were on display for all to

simple pleasures of arranging daffodils to welcome Spring that lead to reminiscience and
even poetry are what makes each day special and unique at Milford House.
