The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are attentive and as prompt as they can be when the button is pressed for attention. Having a call button was important to us for peace of mind.
The staff understand Mam's communication (non-verbal) and respond appropriately. I feel comfortable in the knowledge that Mam is receiving the best care possible.

I was worried about coming into a care home but since I have come here I have been able to feel at ease and totally welcome, treated with respect and dignity, staff can't do enough for you. I'm grateful for all the help I have been given.

The staff have organised haircuts, chiropody and most importantly to dad, holy communion! Always lots going on, activities, birthday celebrations etc. Highly recommend!
Management are always very helpful and willing to sort any problems as and when they occur. Staff are mostly able to provide for my brother's needs and seem to go the extra mile to help.

Mum has been in Melbury Court for more than three years. She has dementia, is blind and has mobility problems. We have found the staff to be caring, friendly and supportive of her and her needs. The staff know her well and have fun with her which she loves. Cleaners, kitchen staff, nurses, managers and all staff are great with her. Very reassuring to know that mum is looked after so well. The ultimate test is what mum thinks and she is happy there which means everything to us.
Melbury Court has been an experience that we as a family will never forget. For my parents, this was the most traumatic experience that they have felt. The management style and care was/is well below standard. Dignity and respect were not promoted for residents. My father describes his experience...
I would not recommend Mulberry Court to anyone. My family are now in an amazing care home, that should be the standard and benchmark for all care homes. The management and her team are amazing. The standard of care is outstanding. We are so happy that my parents are now being treated with the dignity and respect that they deserve! My parents are thriving!
