Our Care

At The Mulberry Community, our approach to care is centred around the individual. We provide compassionate, person-centred support that respects each person’s choices, abilities and aspirations, encouraging independence and positive risk-taking wherever appropriate. Our aim is to help people live fulfilling lives while maintaining the relationships, interests and connections that are important to them.

Reviews

"My mother stayed at Mulberry as a respite guest for 2 weeks. Due to COVID, we were unable to visit so a very stressful time for the family. All the staff at Mulberry were fantastic during this time. They answered all our concerns with empathy and kept us updated and supported each day whatever time we called them. Mum was very pleased with 'all the lovely staff that have been so kind to me'. Thank you Mulberry, we couldn't have asked for more even though this must be a very stressful time for you all as well."

"My old mum, who suffered from Alzheimer's, was moved to Mulberry House in February 2022 and she passed away there in June 2022. I cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful staff who cared for her while she was there as I was unable to as I live in the north east. Nothing was too much trouble and they made her last few months happy ones. Carers do not get enough credit, especially those who care for people who are at the end of their lives. These people are truly remarkable and what they do is far more than a job to them. They have my admiration and deepest respect. I will be eternally grateful for what they did for Mum. Thank you so much to you all."

"Mum has been in Mulberry House for 9 months and she is very happy. The staff are wonderful and are always there to help her. Being almost deaf and with dementia, things can be scary for her but the staff always make her feel comfortable and put her first. I can't thank them enough. Being able to visit today for the first time in 5 months has been wonderful. She was so happy."

Nursing Care

At The Mulberry Community, we have established an excellent reputation for our nursing care facilities.

We have a dedicated team of highly qualified care staff who are on hand 24 hours a day to provide personal care and support. We recognise that the levels of nursing care will be different for each of our residents and we tailor the care we provide to the individual needs of each and every one of our residents.

We provide a high standard of nursing care at all times and always treat our residents with dignity and respect. Family and friends will always be made welcome, and are encouraged to visit, whether to stay for a meal or just spend time together.

Dementia Care

Dementia is a condition that affects many people in the UK today and sometimes the behaviours and associated symptoms can be difficult to understand. Our staff are trained to understand people with Dementia and be able to provide the appropriate care for them.

We are able to care for people with Dementia in each of our homes, however which home is best will differ from person to person and would be subject to an initial assessment.

Our care homes are all Dementia friendly environments and we are able to provide specialist care to people who require nursing care and who may also have Dementia.

In each of the homes, we have a highly experienced staff team of Registered Nurses and Care Assistants who are all trained to care for people with Dementia.
