Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum has been in the care home for over a year now and she is very happy and she enjoys eating all her meals in the dining room with her friends. She says every day how lovely the food is and every day she comments on how great the staff are to her. She can also have her own quiet moments to herself
whenever she wants. We as her family are very, very happy that our mum's happy and settled and she enjoys her time in the lounge with all the staff.

What a lovely home. Every one of the staff is pleasant and can't do enough for my dad. The quality of care is amazing and they treat every resident as if they are a member of their own family. They start caring for your family member and become friends. The quality of meals are outstanding and my dad
always enjoys his food. The home is spotless throughout and always smells nice. The staff always make you feel welcome at home. As well as caring for your loved one they also care about your feelings as a relative. The management team are very professional and the home is very well led. My dad is very well looked after he always looks and smells clean and tidy. I have ultimate respect and trust in this home and have no worries or concerns.

All in all, a very well run, spotlessly clean, well presented and pleasant care home, the whole staff right from top management down to the carers and cleaners just can't do enough.
I am there often and from what I can tell they really do care. They treat their guests with respect and have a down to
earth yet professional approach in all that they do. The place is really clean and smells pleasant too with a nice ambience and caring atmosphere throughout.
There is ample parking, the home is tastefully decorated with posters and pictures on the walls, there are books for residents to use.
Catering wise there is a large clean dining room with spotless cutlery and crockery, the kitchen is also clean with a 4 STAR FOOD HYGIENE RATING...(GOOD!)
There are two guest lounges with large TVs and CD players, etc. as well as games to stimulate.
There is also a large garden with benches to sit on outside when the weather is good.
Personally, I wouldn't have any issues staying there myself if the need ever arose.

Review from Timothy C (Brother of Resident) published on 21 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dear brother was resident at Mahogany for the last month of his life. The care that he got could not have been bettered. The nurses and carers were lovely and looked after him in the best possible way. After he passed away they took control and did everything promptly and with exceptional care and
sympathy. A special mention should go to the manager, a lovely lady.

Mahogany Nursing Home is a wonderful place. We know our mum is well looked after and safe. We have peace of mind knowing that the staff look after mum's every requirement. Rooms are spacious, clean and bright. Staff are exceptional from cooks, cleaners, carers, admin, nurses and management. Food is
plentiful and nutritious and the laundry is done to a high standard.

My mother has been at Mahogany Nursing Home for nearly three years. I have found the staff to be extremely caring and diligent with all the residents. All aspects of management and catering also the domestic side have been very impressive and my mother has enjoyed her stay there, she loves the carers
and the domestics alike as they are so friendly and caring.

From the moment my dad came to this care home, he has been treated with respect and a patience for his dignity. He is quite well cared for and the food is very good with plenty of drinks as well in the day.
We would have liked his room to be a little larger though but as he has become familiar with
it, we have accepted this.

Mum has been a resident for 2 years and during that time I have seen 3 managers come and go and bring unrest amongst the staff, causing discontent. Since the last manager departed and the new temporary manager was brought in the feeling of contentment is returning. All I care about is mum and her treatment
so I notice the general atmosphere of the staff and in my opinion, the temporary manager is bringing stability and a more happy atmosphere. Also, the entertainment has improved thanks to the new activities coordinator.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.846)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.846) out of 10 for Mahogany 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.846 for Mahogany Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (306 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 356 Ratings = 4.846
  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 Mahogany Care Home is based on 31 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 31 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.

Simon Linaker

Job Title: Registered Manager Joined: 2025

Welcome to Mahogany Care Home. My name is Simon Linaker, and I am proud to share my journey through the social care sector, a field I've devoted the last five years to, after 8 fulfilling years in healthcare. I began my career humbly as a Hospital Porter and Nursing Assistant, an experience that allowed me to witness first-hand the intricate dynamics of patient care. Through hard work and dedication, I became a Registered Adult Nurse in 2019, where I developed my passion for social care. In my current role as Home Manager, I strive to create a safe and nurturing environment for all service users. My passion for falls prevention has led me to conduct an evidence-based dissertation that I successfully implemented in my working environment, underscoring my belief that the safety and well-being of our loved ones is the utmost priority. With a Level 5 qualification in leadership and management, I remain committed to continuous improvement, ensuring that our practices reflect the highest standards of care.


In my role, I not only focus on the physical aspects of health but also advocate inclusively for the LGBTQ+ community, demonstrating that everyone deserves to feel welcome and respected within our nursing home.


I am optimistic about the positive changes we can collectively bring about in social care, fostering an environment where dignity and respect are paramount. My goal is to lead by example, encouraging my staff to embrace diversity and treat each service user as an individual with unique needs and experiences. Together, we can create a space that is not only safe but also vibrant and inclusive, allowing each person to thrive. I firmly believe that with compassion and understanding, we can make our community stronger, one service user at a time.
