Mulberry House Residential Home

My Mum has been in Mulberry house for the last 3 weeks and has received excellent care. All the staff are lovely and always have time to answer my questions with a smile even though they are extremely busy. The property is beautiful and well looked after, I am reliably informed by Mum the food is delicious! Compliments to the Chef. Thank you Mulberry House for all your care.

Mum has been at Mulberry for a week. Still early days, but the staff are outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble or fuss and I am very confident that she is very well cared for.

The house is spotless, light and airy and well maintained. There is a range of activities and the extensive menu choices cater for any tastes!

Well done to the team at Mulberry House, and thank you all.

My Mum has been at Mulberry House for over two years. It is in a quiet setting with a lovely patio and garden to enjoy in fine weather. The home has always been clean and tidy. All the staff is friendly, helpful, and supportive, with great patience for Mum, me, and Mum's family and friends. I would not hesitate to recommend Mulberry House.

The team couldn't have looked after my Grandmother any better. Our family couldn't have found a better place for her to live out her last couple of years. There is genuine care from the staff to residents.

Dad has been at Mulberry since august 2018. My mother died there and was looked after with great sensitivity during her last few weeks. After my mother's death, my father, aged 91, continued to live at Mulberry, where staff have consistently been cheerful and supportive. My father returned from hospital to Mulberry in March, the week lockdown began. He requires palliative, end of life care. Mulberry House staff have, throughout these difficult past few weeks, been attentive, kind, responsive to our family needs at this extraordinary time, helpful with information/discussions about medical support and options given to Dad. The genuine affection in which they hold my father is palpable and a great comfort at this time when we cannot travel to see him.

When the family discovered Mulberry House we had no idea what we had stumbled onto. It turned out to be somewhere that Mum could call home and where I know first hand that all residents are treated with loving care and respect for their needs as individuals no matter what their frailties might be - physical or mental. I cannot praise highly enough each and every one of the lovely band of carers and other staff for the loving care given to my mother. She was very happy and confident in that care which helped greatly in giving her a wonderful final year. It is not possible to single any section out. From management, carers at all levels, activities, kitchen and housekeeping Mum made no distinction - she was just aware that everyone cared and she was safe, comfortable and content. Sadly our 105 year old Mum died in November. The love and care given to her and to all our family during this time was exceptional. We can only give our very grateful thanks for all the Mulberry House did for our mother while she lived there and during her passing.

My father, who is in his eighties, moved into Mulberry House, Bovey Tracey, to help care for his partner of 30 years who was unable to look after herself any longer. The care they both received has been exceptional. The kindness and understanding for them both was excellent considering their different needs. My father lived there for just over 12 months and was always cared for and loved by all the staff. He really felt as though he was part of a family. It's not like an old peoples' home - it's more like a high-class hotel! The furnishings are lovely and always clean and there are activities throughout the day for the residents. Beautiful views too. Dad said the food was delicious and there was plenty of it. We, as a family, were always welcomed and able to pop in at any time. We did a lot of research and visits to various homes before finding Mulberry and on a scale of 1 - 10, the other places were 1 and Mulberry 10. Dad always had someone to talk to. Nowhere better than Mulberry House.

My 93-year-old fiercely independent mother moved into Mulberry House at the end of July. My sister and I went with her on her initial visit. We were blown away. The house was incredible. Light, bright, spotlessly clean and full of happy residents all busy doing various activities in lots of beautifully decorated communal rooms. (The bedrooms would put a country house hotel to shame.) It was a joyous place to be. My mother has settled in well thanks to the kind, thoughtful, helpful amazing staff - I cannot speak too highly of each and every person who cares for and looks after her every need. They are all hero’s and deserve every fabulous thing that is said about them. My mother loves everything about it and I would urge everyone looking for somewhere to either live themselves or for one of their relatives to have a look around. You certainly won’t be disappointed.

Cannot extol the virtues of Mulberry House enough. All members of the staff showed kindness, care and attention. All facets of this residential home were superb. If all retirement homes nationwide were as good as this, our aged would be treated with the respect and dignity they deserved.

After visiting several care homes where dementia is specifically catered for. I opted for Mulberry house. As a registered nurse I have been impressed with the level of professionalism and obvious care evident in my mother's new home. Whilst providing a warm and inviting 'home', Mulberry House has proper assessment and safety arrangements in place. I particularly liked the "getting to know you" booklet I completed for Mum as her dementia prevents her from renting her own story herself.

Mum moved into Mulberry House back in August and we have been very pleased with the care she has received. As a previously independent person there were naturally some adjustments she had to make but all the staff understood this and have made the transition much easier. We have found the home to be flexible, they listen to residents and relatives and they respond to needs swiftly. Mum likes the food and the range of activities on offer.

I found a willingness to make a residential home that was comfortable for the residents at a time when there were challenges for the residents as well as the staff. I believe that it is working well.

My father has been made to feel very welcome and he has settled really well, enjoying many different activities and socialising with his new friends. All the staff are very friendly and caring towards Dad, and family who visit, and they seem keen to take on board suggestions to help ensure life is as good as it possibly can be.
