Review from Angela H (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 November 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Very disappointed, unfortunately.
The girls that work there are wonderful, no issues whatsoever.
Management unfortunately refuses to report back injuries, we have seen so many bruises on mum and she says they handle her very roughly, especially when they don't like what she is saying. They seem to
try to stop her talking. We are not at all happy with what is happening to her, and none of us were given any kind of say as to where she was put.

I cannot begin to find the right words to say how wonderful this care home is. Everyone who works there from management, carers cleaners etc are so thoughtful and caring. My father was living there for 3 years and 4 months and received wonderful care, he was so happy living there. Everyone felt like
family to us. During the last week before he passed he received amazing care and myself and the rest of the family were looked after with so much love and care which helped us through those difficult days.
I highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a home from home for their loved one.
Reply from Angel Ivanov, Manager at Mulberry HouseMrs Rogers
We are all very sad from the passing of Mr Ken, and I don't think anyone could ever forget him. The amazing impact he had on all of our staff, residents and care home itself was simply impossible to describe with words.
Thank you very much for everything you and your family have done for Mulberry care.
We are very happy you are still popping in for our Tuesday tea morning, and we are still keeping in touch.
It means everything for us :)

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandad recently spent four weeks at Mulberry Care Residential Home for respite care, and I can honestly say the experience exceeded all our expectations.
From day one, the manager and the entire team made us feel completely at ease. Their professionalism, warmth, and genuine compassion created
an environment where my grandad felt safe, valued, and truly cared for.
The level of attention and support he received was outstanding. The staff were attentive, respectful, and incredibly kind, always going the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable and engaged. They took the time to get to know him, and it showed in the little details - from how they interacted with him to the way they tailored his care.
The home itself is welcoming, clean, and very well-managed. There was a real sense of community, and the atmosphere was one of dignity, joy, and attentive care. It gave our family great peace of mind to know he was in such good hands.
Just massive thank you to all
Reply from Angel Ivanov, Manager at Mulberry HouseThank you very much for your kind words.
We strive to provide the best possible care and treat our staff, residents and relatives like a family.
I hope you, and your family are doing great and I hope you enjoy the coming Christmas and New Year celebrations!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was staying as an emergency respite from the beginning of December to the end of February. This was her first time in a care home and so our first experience and there have been complexities for us as a family, particularly due to the distances involved between myself and mum. Throughout this whole
experience I have been able to call mum regularly and I speak to a member of the care team most times who always give me an update on mum. Whenever she has seen a health professional the home calls to let me know the outcome. We have needed extra support at times and nothing has been too much trouble and I can't praise the team enough as they have not only looked after my mum, but they have supported me during an incredibly difficult time and I am incredibly grateful to them all.
Reply from Angel Ivanov, Manager at Mulberry HouseThank you very much for your feedback, Tracy. We are very happy, that we were part of mum's life and managed to help during those challenging times.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was in the care home between January 2020 and December 2025. It is always a difficult decision to move a loved one into a care home but from the moment we undertook our initial visit to assess the home, we felt completely reassured and could see the family atmosphere within the home.
Every
family member and friend who visited the home always complimented the staff with their welcome and hospitality. My mum was always well-presented and we knew that she was always treated with respect, and love and care. The activities arranged were varied and encouragement was always given for the residents to join in.
We have many wonderful memories of her time at the home and the care provided.
Reply from Angel Ivanov, Manager at Mulberry HouseThank you very much for your kind words. Your mum and family were an important part of our family for a long period of time and we are going to miss you greatly, guys. We have been through a lot of difficult moment (Covid 19 for example), but your support and understanding were very reassuring for us. Thank you very much for everything!

In the 2 years since my Mum moved into Mulberry House my trust, appreciation, and respect for them has only grown. There are always plenty of staff, and they have always been friendly, professional, calm, and kind in the way they deal with both my Mum and me.
Recently Mum’s condition has deteriorated,
she’s been spending her days in bed. When I visit, over the course of an hour 3 or 4 members of staff come into her room to check on, feed or talk to her. She’s not forgotten! We’ve bought a wheelchair suitable to spend the day in and now she has a sling and hoist so she can spend the day around people again.
There have been a couple of times that issues have had to be raised, especially in the first few months when Mum was not happy in the transition to living in a care home rather than her own home. These were dealt with promptly, openly, and professionally. It’s a weight off my mind to know that Mum is safe and well cared for. I would recommend Mulberry House.
Reply from Angel Ivanov, Manager at Mulberry HouseThank you very much for your honest review. Our team is always striving to provide the best possible care for our residents and we are happy to work with everyone and resolve any issues.

My father has been here for over a year now and couldn't be happier. He is back to full fitness and so happy. He loves working in the garden and tending to the flowers. My sister and I are so grateful to all the staff and management for all the help and support for our dad and ourselves.
Reply from Angel Ivanov, Manager at Mulberry HouseThank you very much for your feedback.
Mulberry wouldn't be the same place without Dad being part of our family.
Also, thank you very much for your support and encouragement since Dad was admitted to Mulberry Care; it means a lot to all of us.

My aunt has been a resident at this home since late 2021 and I can honestly say that I have been very pleased with the level of service and care that she has received during this time. The staff and management are always friendly and helpful, and will always keep me updated with anything that they feel
I should be made aware of. As difficult as my aunt's condition is, I am confident with the quality and experience of care that she is receiving from all of the staff. Also, I like the various activities that are organised for the residents, and the recent garden party for the residents and families went down very well. All I can hope for is the best for my aunt, and I believe that is what she is getting here.

I cannot possibly explain how good the care has been for my grandfather at Mulberry House. He is beyond happy and truly enriched with the vast variety of activities which are often adapted to meet his individual interests. The staff go above and beyond to look after him and communicate with us as a
family. They all seem genuinely concerned for his wellbeing and nothing is ever any trouble. They have gone above and beyond since he moved in to make sure he feels like he's at home and the small touches like a party for this birthday which we could attend continue to make it feel like he's living in his own home for both him and the family. Thank you Mulberry House staff and management for all you have done and continue to do.

Mum has been a resident at Mulberry for almost 3 years now. We are extremely pleased with the care she receives. Staff are fantastic and it is obvious when we visit that Mum has a lovely rapport with them.
Mum is happy and occupied. The activity programme is excellent and it is lovely to see all of
the photos every week of what has been going on.
Management is also excellent. Always on hand to answer any queries and always update us on any issues Mum may have. They have worked tirelessly to keep everyone safe through the pandemic and at the same time providing a safe environment for us to visit.
We couldn't wish for Mum to be in a happier safer environment - it has a lovely family feel.
Thank you as always Mulberry.

Review from Mark K (Son of Resident) published on 1 February 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been a resident for more than 18 months and seems very happy in Mulberry. He is always very clean and responds well to the cheerful carers. During his residency, most weeks being under Covid restrictions, he has faced a number of health scares. As a family we were regularly updated with
any information, movements to/from hospital and Dr visits. Carers call on a daily basis inquiring as to his health whilst in hospital, all of which reassures us that they genuinely care!
The management team are very informative and seem to support the staff well, whilst maintaining good discipline and motivation.
Despite ongoing Covid restrictions, the home have managed visitors by creating a clean and safe visitor room. Posters and photos keep you informed as to the many activities carried out during the day; which seem to be enjoyable to all residents, judging by their smiling faces.
Reply from Angel Ivanov, Manager at Mulberry HouseThank you very much Mark. We highly appreciate the support from your family for the last 18 months. It has been extremely challenging, but we are trying to provide the best care possible and keep everyone informed about their loved ones. We are always happy to receive such a great review for our care home. Thank you again.

The staff here are excellent and they have contributed hugely towards my father’s improvement in health and quality of life. They are helpful, friendly, accommodating and keep us updated with all matters in regard to my father. My opinion is the management seem to have their fingers on the pulse of
all aspects in caring for the residents. I believe the care home has recently been adopted by local authorities which is an indication of the higher standard of care now displayed at this institution. My congratulations (and thanks) to all the staff for their achievements.

My mother has been a resident at Mulberry Care home for nearly two years, I am very pleased with the care home, the staff are always friendly and helpful, They have an activities coordinator there five days a week who organises different activities with the residents every morning and afternoon, they
do exercises, singing, bingo, baking, knitting, painting, planting seeds in pots, and many more, they have a theatre company come in sometimes to put on shows for them to watch and they have children from schools come in sometimes to sing to them too and they’ve also had therapy dogs and small animals brought in for them to see and hold if they want to. Whenever there is a birthday they have a party with a birthday cake and candles. They take photos of the residents doing different activities and put them on their Facebook page for family members to see, which is great. I know that my mum is very happy and well cared for there.

My Grandad is currently residing in Mulberry House and has been for the past 2 years. I have always liked the home, but since the new change of management who has then brought in more staff such as an activities person - I can see such a big change for the better.
I always feel welcomed when I visit
and love the idea of having a facebook page in which I can look at pictures of what my Granddad has been getting up to!
You can tell that this home is a very caring home, and it makes me feel more at rest seeing how it is like my Granddad has his own little family in the home when we cannot make it in to see him.
Cannot recommend Mulberry House enough - if you want somewhere that puts your mind at ease then here is perfect.
Thank you for all you do!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.221)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.221) out of 10 for Mulberry House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.521 for Mulberry House is calculated as follows: ( (92 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.521
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mulberry House is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.7
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
