  • Barchester Mallard Court Care Home, Bridlington
Mallard Court provides 24-hour nursing care and personal support to older people, older people with disabilities, older people with sensory loss and older people living with dementia, offered expert support in a dedicated Memory Lane Community. The home also offers respite care and short breaks.

Set in its own extensive, wheelchair accessible gardens, located just a mile away from Bridlington town centre and half a mile from beautiful blue flag beaches, the home is sited on a quiet residential estate and is easily accessible by road.

Care and support at Mallard Court is delivered through personalised care planning, a process that begins with an assessment, carried out before admission where possible, and completed with the individual concerned, together with relatives.

Information is built upon admission and at regular reviews. It covers areas like needs, risks, likes and dislikes, so it provides a basis for areas as diverse as deciding about activities programmes and external contacts, looking at any rehabilitative medical needs and discussions with the chef about diet (who will tailor meal choices to the individual).

The team and any relevant health professional are an important element of the system when carrying out regular reviews and updates with the individuals and relatives.

Mallard Court welcomes visitors, please phone to arrange a visit.

My sister went into Barchester Mallard Court Care Home, Bridlington in February. She was poorly and confused. She is leaving shortly a different woman, the best she's been for years. This is no mean feat. It has been achieved with the best of care on all levels.
Without exception, all members of staff
have treated her with the utmost respect, kindness and concern. I cannot praise them highly enough.
My sister has enjoyed her time at Barchester Mallard Court Care Home, made some new friends and been made to feel a valued member of the care home, care being the best word. I would highly recommend this home.

I cannot praise Barchester Mallard Court Care Home highly enough. During the very short time my late husband was receiving palliative care he was looked after by all staff members, nursing, the care team and the kitchen with respect and kindness. His dignity and well-being were clearly at the forefront
of Mallard Court's philosophy and practice. The manager and the management team demonstrated great professionalism, sympathy and compassion. I would not hesitate to recommend Mallard Court to anyone who needs to place a loved one in their care.

I feel well satisfied with the care and attention given to my father who will be 95 at Christmas. The staff are superb, helpful and jolly. A good feeling is experienced whenever I attended to see my dad. Prior to his arrival in January 2020, I checked out other homes in the area, the Bridlington Barchester

My sister settled into Mallard Court as her new home. From an early video link, she obviously related well to members of staff and was relaxed with them. Later, visits confirmed her good relationship with staff. One clear observation was that physically she had improved significantly particularly through
her increased weight and her general appearance. Please note I am not able to complete many of the ratings due to Covid, I have never been in Mallard Court.

It has been such a difficult time for us, and all the staff at Mallard Court during the pandemic. They have kept us updated on restrictions and taken many safety/health precautions. Visiting Mum in a pod has helped a lot, as has the updates from the activities coordinator who has given us cared and

We all want the best for our loved ones, especially later in life and I am grateful to Mallard Court for providing the best care possible for my mother in her later years. I did have doubts about placing my mother in a care home as she had always been very independent but the time came when the decision
had to be made. Since being in Mallard Court my mother has thrived and I have seen vast improvements in both her physical and emotional well being. In fact, I have not seen her so happy in a very long time. This is due to the caring environment and dedication provided by the home and the people that work there. Communication with and from the home has been first class and I am kept up to date with all events. I simply cannot thank them enough.

My wife was admitted on the 18th March 2020 initially for 2 weeks respite. The government then issued a total lockdown on the 23 March 2020 which meant she herself like thousands of others were in locked in the care home. In this time she has deteriorated which because of her dementia problem was bound
to happen. I ring every day to ask about her, the staff I find are very caring and tell me all about her daily activities from which I find comfort knowing she is cared for. To add she is in the right place, but the wrong time.

My wife who has dementia was transferred to Mallard Court from hospital after a fall and has been looked after very well. Because of dementia, there have been behavioural problems which the staff have coped with exceptionally well. On phone calls, because of Covid I have been kept informed at all times.
The garden visits have been well organised. My wife is very happy here although it is upsetting for me she is very content. All the staff that I talk to are a credit to Mallard Court.

I cannot thank the carers and nursing team at Mallard Court enough for the excellent care of my aunt during her illness. I am not local to the area so was extremely anxious about choosing a care home without visiting (due to covid) for her stay as unfortunately, this was end of life care. Due to the
coronavirus restrictions, I have been unable to visit yet have been in daily contact with the staff who have always been so compassionate, caring and informative. Her stay was made that much more comfortable with the staff and their compassion. I have been kept informed of her care every step of the way.
In the final days of my aunt's illness, the staff welcomed me into the home with open arms and made me feel at ease. I cannot thank the nursing and care staff enough as they have made this difficult time much more bearable.

I am delighted with my dad's care here. His room is lovely with bright and beautiful soft furnishings and a comfortable chair. There is a view of the garden from a big window which is low enough for him to see out from his chair. The furniture is tasteful and plenty of storage. The staff across the
whole building are very helpful and very caring. There is a tea/coffee bar. It's great to have access to making hot and cold drinks for family and visitors. The corridors are wide and spacious so there isn't the 'warren' type feeling that many homes have. No unpleasant smells and everywhere is clean, bright, cheerful, welcoming and above all, homely.

Where to start... Mallard Court Nursing Home has been incredible. My mother requested to be placed here for her palliative care plan. (This is super important as my mum used to be a member of staff here so this shows how amazing it is to work for and to be a resident). Every single member of staff were
kind, caring, helpful, professional and of high standards, down to every occupation nurses, careers, domestics, reception, kitchen, maintenance, front of house and managers, all outstanding and attention to every last detail. I wish I could mention names as I can't tell you how amazing all these people have been they made my mums last week's special and much easier for us all. The minute you walk through the front door you feel at home and welcome with staff always smiling. Nothing was too big or to small to ask. Me and my family couldn't be happier with this wonderful care home, it is outstanding and coming from someone who spent 24/7 here and was never disappointed! Five star.

Lovely and clean and never smells of urine when you enter (like most nursing homes around Bridlington). The staff are friendly and honest in the fact that if we (family) see anything that we are not happy with then we should report it so that it can be rectified as soon as possible. Nice surroundings,
with lovely gardens in which to take the residents out in the summer. Overall, I think this is one of the more expensive nursing homes in Bridlington but you get what you pay for.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.757)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.757) out of 10 for Barchester Mallard Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.828 for Barchester Mallard Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 151 Ratings = 4.828

  • b) 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 4.929 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Mallard Court Care Home is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 14 = 0.929

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: General Manager

Hi, my name is Ange and I am acting General Manager here at Mallard Court Care Home. Welcome to our website!


Thank you for taking the time to look further into what we have to offer to you or your loved one. Here is an opportunity to look at some of our staff team in the home, who all play a vital role in day-to-day life.


I started my career in care as a volunteer in day centres for adults with learning disabilities. I have looked after people with learning disabilities who lived with me in my own home and also provided respite for children with learning disabilities as well.


I moved over to Bridlington from Bradford over a number of years ago and applied for the position as a carer at Mallard Court. I was promoted to senior carer and eventually to the position of Care Practitioner before progressing to Unit Manager.


I work with a dedicated and supportive team who aim to achieve the best for the home. I look forward to welcoming you to our home.

We provide a wide range of activities for the people we support, as well as for their families and friends. I also love to have one-to-one chats with residents who like to reminisce about their lives over a cup of tea and some biscuits.


We have our own minibus and have fun days out sightseeing, having a picnic or going to a local pub for a drink and a meal. We also arrange for local artists to provide musical entertainment for everyone at Mallard Court.
