On their most recent visit they noted (CQC’s copyright, recording a visit in May 2012) residents said that: ‘The staff are tremendous, they really look after me. I have recently spent some time away from the home but I’m really glad to be back,’ ‘it’s like home from home,’ and ‘being able to do things at my own pace is what I like.’

My mother was cared for here for three months before passing. The care she received was marvellous and the overall experience was five-star from her point of view and that of the family who visited regularly.
Care homes generally have a bad press but honestly, I can't find fault with the wonderful
care my mother received throughout her stay here.
Thank you to all the team, from reception staff to nursing staff and the gardeners/maintenance team.

We were so relieved to be able to book my mother-in-law into Mulberry Court for a week's respite care following an operation.
You don't know what you don't know do you? When someone who has been independent has a few weeks of not being so, you really don't know what to expect.
Staff at Mulberry
Court were really flexible about dates and the level of service that would be needed, and in the end, luckily my mother-in-law didn't need nursing, just lots of support. Staff were really sensitive and helpful with dressings, meds (including liaising with her own doctor who is out of the area) personal care, and just being chatty and friendly whilst she got back on her feet (quite literally!).
I would recommend Mulberry Court for its friendliness, flexibility and attention to detail. And very nice cakes in reception!

My dad has been at Barchester Mulberry Court Care Home for ten months now. We, as a family, can't fault all they do for my father and his health and well-being have been so much better since he came to Mulberry last July. The staff have been brilliant and I can't thank them enough for looking after
my dad and also taking care of my mum who visits every day.

Barchester Mulberry Court Care Home is a fabulous home. I've been visiting my husband for eight months and it's like a second family to me. I can't praise the staff and management enough, the food's good, the care's good and I can go home after visiting knowing my husband's safe and happy.
First-class.
The staff not only care for my husband but look after me as well.

Also a special mention to the home manager, who has been great in all aspects of my dad's

The experience I had from the first phone call, email and face-to-face meeting was amazing! I was reassured, by the professional and friendly way my queries were answered, that the care my father would receive would be of a high standard. I loved the way all staff looked happy, they were spotlessly
clean and well-presented. Every staff member has a smile and goes about their difficult jobs with enthusiasm, not seen in every home. The home was odour-free, the food great and the care exemplary.
I feel extremely lucky that I found Barchester Mulberry Court Care Home for my father. It was a massive stress reliever to know he was being cared for so well and in such a lovely place. I can’t recommend it highly enough or say enough thank yous to the staff who took such great care of him in his last days.

Our relative came to Mulberry Court for respite care and unfortunately passed away after only a few weeks with them. During the time she was with the home the staff were very understanding and kept in touch with us between our visits. She was looked after by everyone with care, compassion and understanding.
Each and every member of staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Unfortunately, she did not get the chance to be fully involved in all the brilliant activities the home offered.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My father spent a week at Barchester Mulberry Court Care Home and he was really well looked after. I was very impressed with the care and kindness shown by all staff to my dad and that they were all so friendly when we visited. As a registered nurse myself, it was so nice to know that Dad was in a safe
and comfortable place being looked after by the super staff.
My dad developed a chest infection after a few days but a prompt referral for medical advice meant he received antibiotics and treatment quickly and he recovered well.
His room was clean and comfortable and the food looked very tasty!
Having a really good respite facility available is vital for my mum so that she can have a break as she is Dad’s full-time carer.

Mulberry Court Care Home provided essential end-of-life care for my mum. From the initial visit through to the last, the warm and compassionate environment was welcoming. Knowing that nursing care and regular visits from other medical professionals were easily available was a comfort. Also, the wider
care team delivered personal care with empathy and understanding.
The home is friendly and comfortable and has activities for residents, a hairdresser and a garden with plenty of wildlife for a mindful distraction for all to enjoy.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.811)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.811) out of 10 for Barchester Mulberry 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.811 for Barchester Mulberry Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (186 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 222 Ratings = 4.811

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Mulberry Court Care Home is based on 19 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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: Lead activities co-ordinator

Joined: 2024

Hi my name is Zoe I am the lead activities co-ordinator here at Mulberry Court, I started in January 2024 having previously worked at another care home on reception, however, I started doing more and more activities with the residents there so when I got the chance to move across to a Barchester home and do the role of lead I took the opportunity.


I have always enjoyed organising and am usually the one in the family who brings everyone together and sorts things so I feel I have found my true calling!


I am so lucky to be able to say I love my job, no two days are ever the same, although every day is so rewarding and to know I have made a difference to someone is the greatest feeling whether that’s through a group activity or an individual room visit to even stopping and saying a few words to them.

Hi, my name is Roy, I’ve been living at Mulberry Court since 2023.


I love living at Mulberry and I enjoy being the Resident Ambassador.


Residents have said that I’m a very heartwarming, soft and patient gentleman who gives comfort to all. I’m a true gentleman and as I say “What you see, is what you get.”
