Mabbs Hall is located in the small market town of Mildenhall, Surrey. It is a short drive into Cambridge and just a mile from Thetford Forest Park, a 47,000-acre forest providing plenty of opportunities for excursions and exploring. Closer to home, there are numerous shops and restaurants moments from the home, as well as a large park and the River Lark.
The home itself is elegantly decorated and sits in a quiet, residential close. Most bedrooms are single but there are two double rooms for couples. CCTV is located in communal areas including the two lounges, a dining room and a landscaped garden, where wildlife such as deer often roam among the raised flowerbeds that keen gardeners can use.
There are choices of home-cooked balanced meals available at mealtimes and dietary requirements are catered for.

My husband has been here since the 9th June. I have to say that from his first day the home and every one who works have been amazing in every way. They are kind and considerate. The care is out standing they all of them are friendly. They treat my husband with dignity. Our family are treated the same. When the carers come in my husband smiles after they have gone he say's to me they are lovely. It makes us feel at peace and happy that he is in the care of people who really care.
Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection on your husband's experience. It is clear how much it means to you and your family to see him treated with genuine kindness, dignity and warmth from the very first day.

Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt reflection on your husband's experience. It is clear how much it means to you and your family to see him treated with genuine kindness, dignity and warmth from the very first day.
Knowing that he smiles when the carers come in - and speaks so fondly of them afterwards - says so much about the trust and comfort he feels with the team. That sense of peace you describe, the reassurance that he is surrounded by people who truly care, is exactly what every family hopes for when a loved one moves into a home.

The Social worker for my parents found them a place in Mabbs Hall. I am so happy that she did because my parents have settled in really well, they say the staff are extremely kind and caring and they feel totally safe and well looked after. The food is good and they are very content and calm. They both have dementia at varying stages and they are treated with kindness, respect and dignity. It is the best outcome possible for their care needs. The manager is wonderful, very approachable and a great communicator. She and her staff make a happy and efficient team. I've nothing negative today say about Mabbs Hall, my experience so far is 100% positive.

Dad was at Mabbs Hall only a short while, but the management, nurses and staff were wonderful and very easy to speak to. Every question and worry was sorted out quickly. Would recommend this nursing home.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Even though your dad was with us for a short time, it means a great deal to know that our team helped him - and you - feel supported. We appreciate your recommendation.
The care my father received in his last week was second to none. I felt there was a great deal of kindness from all staff. In his final days I was allowed to be with him and get the most time I could with him. On the day he died I was called back and got to hold his hand before he died.

Thank you for sharing something so personal. It means a great deal to know that your father was treated with such compassion in his final week. The kindness you describe reflects the care we strive to give every family, and we're truly grateful that you were able to spend those precious final moments by his side. Being able to hold his hand as he passed is something no one can ever replace.
My mother is as settled as could be expected for someone with severe dementia. The staff work very hard, are welcoming, polite and respectful and strive to make a homely environment. The fabric of the building is slowly being updated with air conditioning and new doors.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Were glad to hear your mother feels as settled as possible and that youve noticed the dedication of our staff in creating a welcoming, respectful, and homely environment. We also appreciate your recognition of the ongoing improvements to the building updates like air conditioning and new doors are part of our commitment to comfort and care.

When my mother was initially admitted it was at the start of Covid I had no choice where she went. She was fully competent but deaf (2020 August) My initial reaction was despair (I wouldn't put a dog in there) I was not able to visit & could not communicate when we eventually visited, nothing changed that vibe. However, now new management & staff in place I have nothing but praise for team. Mum's health is declining but care is excellent. We can talk to any member of staff & they know what is going on. So much happier.
We are grateful, however, that you have seen the positive...
Thank you for sharing your experience so openly. We truly appreciate your honesty about the challenges during the early days of Covid, which were difficult for everyone, and we are sorry that your initial impression was one of despair.We are grateful, however, that you have seen the positive changes brought about by our new management and dedicated team. It means a great deal to know that you now feel confident in the care your mother is receiving and that communication with staff has improved. We will continue to work hard to ensure your mother, and all our residents, receive the highest standard of care, dignity, and compassion.
Mabbs Hall cared for our dad, Joe, who had severe dementia, and we cannot thank them enough for everything they did. From the management to the cleaners, every single member of staff showed incredible patience, kindness and understanding throughout his time there.

Mabbs Hall cared for our dad, Joe, who had severe dementia, and we cannot thank them enough for everything they did. From the management to the cleaners, every single member of staff showed incredible patience, kindness and understanding throughout his time there.
The atmosphere in the home is calm, supportive and compassionate and you can tell the team genuinely care about the residents. The nursing staff deserve a special mention for their professionalism and the dignity they showed Joe each day, even during the most challenging moments.
We also want to highlight the manager, who has clearly worked tirelessly to transform Mabbs Hall into the exceptional care home it is today. Her leadership and dedication are evident in the way the whole team carries themselves.
Thank you to everyone at Mabbs Hall for the outstanding care, respect and comfort you provided. You made an unimaginably difficult journey easier, and we are truly grateful
Thank you very much for this heartfelt review and for recognising the outstanding qualities of the team at Mabbs Hall. We are glad that we helped make the dementia journey for your Dad and yourselves a little easier to bare.
I visit my friend once a week. The staff are helpful, friendly, cheerful, and make every visit a pleasure. My friend is happy when I visit, and I feel content that she is being well cared for.

Thank you so much for your lovely recommendation and we are very pleased to hear that your mother has settled in well.

Sadly that happened last evening and all the family have been shown so much love and support, we cannot fault them. The staff supported her sons and family throughout.
Thank you so much. Cannot fail to recommend them if you are looking for care.
Our condolences to you and your family, we are so happy your sister enjoyed her stay with us. Thank you for leaving such a lovely review.

With the chef leaving, there was a promotion within the kitchen and we now have a "chefette". I would like to say how much the food has improved. Previously, the food was very spicy and there was a lot of waste. Having eaten the food at both the Christmas party and Christmas Day dinner, I cannot praise the the new chef enough.
Thank you for these kind words and the recommendation of our revised kitchen team. I wholeheartedly agree, this change has vastly improved the residents' food provision, making it more aligned to their preferences and tastes, I will make sure I pass this review on to the team.
The manager has been very supportive with procedural matters and the ladies looked after my mother with genuine care.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
Regarding the recent report published by CQC: We do not feel that this is a fair refection of Mabbs Hall, we challenged the factual accuracy of this report as we don’t believe the CQC has taken our comments into account properly, especially in evidencing the positive points of the inspection. We are however, working hard to improve Mabbs Hall and we shared our own improvement plan with the CQC at the time of the inspection. We are continuing to develop and enhance Mabbs Hall, for the benefit of all interested parties
