Review from Wendy R (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 February 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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
Overall Experience
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 House

Thank 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.

We as a family have been very pleased with the care my father has received from Mulberry House. It's been a very difficult time for everybody, but we feel it's been handled as best as they could by all the staff at Mulberry. Things are certainly looking up now, let's hope it continues. Many thanks to all the staff.

Review from Gary D (Son of Resident) published on 14 January 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Mandy M (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 January 2019 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

Review from Adrianna P (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 31 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
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!

Review from Joanna L (Friend of Resident) published on 28 December 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

I attend Mulberry House on a daily basis. Ever since there has been new management and a new activities coordinator the home has lifted and become amazing! The residents are much happier there are always activities taking place on a daily basis. The residents are going on outings. They celebrate the residents' birthday without fail. Overall its such a happy bubbly home and there is always a smile on the resident's faces.

Review from Joanne A (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 September 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Never underestimate the guilt and bureaucratic and confusion regarding helping a loved one enter a care home suddenly. It has been one of the most stressful times of my life. However, the staff at Mulberry House have been amazing. I have not only felt supported as a relative but also I have felt that through this difficult transition for my mum, they have been amazing with her. She has struggled with accepting her new life and certainly the limitations this has brought. The manager and all the staff have been at her side the whole time, identifying her needs on all levels (emotionally, spiritually, physically, intellectually) and helping her to not only feel she has at home with them but also a purpose and a future. Thank you all .

Review from Claudette F (Niece of Resident) published on 21 March 2018 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I find the staff very patient and caring. I am impressed to see them sitting with some residents downstairs. Either to do their admin work or to entertain the residents. The fact they are sitting with them must be very comforting and reassuring for them. The food is much better than I expected and much better than in other homes I visited. There is variety on the menu. The residents can choose and also can ask for something they like which is not normally on the menu. My aunt can have breakfast in bed and has the toasts she asks for.
You can ask anything that is reasonable and the staff will do their best to get it.

The only shortcoming I would complain about is about the confusion of the residents' clothes but the situation has improved. I am quickly informed when my aunt is not well and the staff call the doctor rapidly.

This care home is extremely pleasant and the staff always make you welcome. The rooms have ensuite which pleased me. They are very spacious and homely.
Myself and my family are very happy with this care home even though we never visited it in the beginning, when we did we left knowing everything was perfect and excellent.

Thank you.

Review from Zahra K (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 February 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are very grateful to the staff at Mulberry House. From the first time I saw this home, it looked very friendly and cosy. There are always at least 2 -3 staff members in my mother's lounge area. We have a peace of mind that she is being looked after with so much respect and dignity by such caring people. All her dietary and personal care is dealt with superbly. She has fresh clean clothes on daily and personal hygiene is very good. It was a very difficult decision to put our mum into a care home. We prolonged it as much as we could, where home care workers were not enough to cope. We are so lucky to find this care home, especially as it was not one of the highly advertised ones. Other things I like about this home are that the bedrooms are of a good size and adapted for my mother's needs. There is a large conservatory with a lovely view of a well-maintained garden. We also have a reassurance that the doctors and nurses do regular visits. Thank you Mulberry House!
