In addition Carers are catered for by the Stroke Carers Group and the COPD Group while the Alzheimer's disease Society has its office in the hospital.
 
Community Care is also currently occupying an office in the hospital while the Community Centre is being rebuilt.
 
The League of Friends provides support to the health related services provided in the hospital, the Medical Centre and the community. This support can be financial, moral or physical such as the provision of volunteer helpers, provision of refreshments or fund raising events in order to provide resources not available from the Primary Care Trust. The League has organised the Milford Active Persons Light Exercise Group (MAPLE) which encourages people to undertake light exercise under the instruction of a qualified instructor. Two Groups are now in operation and the participants, with ages varying between the 60's and 90's enjoy and benefit from the exercises offered. A new initiative is the introduction of a bathing service at the hospital. Using parker baths this service offers an opportunity to those who find it difficult to use the bath at home to enjoy a good soak in a safe environment,
  
The Hospital also houses the Milford Pharmacy which provides a seven day service for over the counter medicines and NHS prescription dispensing.
