Mabbs Hall is located in the small market town of Mildenhall, Surrey.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are always welcoming and whenever I visit, they are more than happy to talk to me about my father and how he is doing. They also show concern over how we, as a family, are coping as well. We are very happy in the knowledge that our father is being well cared for. the manager is always available
and since her arrival a year ago, the home has had a very well earned and needed revamp.

Review from R W (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 8 January 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
This is the first home that has been required for my 97-year-old mother-in-law. It was obviously an upsetting situation for her to give up her independence at this age but from the very start, the staff and management did everything to welcome and settle her into her new surroundings. We are very pleased
with the amount of help and attention that is given to her daily. There is always someone on hand if up-to-date information is required by us and the management and staff are most helpful and informative. We are confident she is well looked after.

Review from N M (Niece of Resident) published on 6 January 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I have found the staff to be very helpful and considerate. As an older home, it is in need of modernisation and the surrounds need more attention (rear garden).
Reply from ANGELICA IBAYAN, HOME MANAGER at Mabbs Hall Care Home

The Home is being refurbished area by area. The garden is being looked after by an outside company who had been requested to clean and tidy up every two weeks. There is a newly refurbished pergola in the rear garden. The rear garden is being prepared for the spring and summer activities.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.761)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.761) out of 10 for Mabbs Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.761 for Mabbs Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (144 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.761
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mabbs Hall Care Home is based on 16 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 29 registered maximum number of service users is 5.8, which has been reached with 16 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.

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

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2024

I am a registered mental Health nurse, with many years’ experience of working in health and social care. I have been a registered manager in both domiciliary and residential care, but feel my heart as a registered manager is within the care home setting. I like to get to know the residents and their families so that they can be best supported. As a manager and nurse, I believe in treating our residents with dignity, respect and an individually tailored approach.


I am passionate about providing the best care that we can, working closely with other professionals & the local community.
