About Mulberry House
At Mulberry House, we provide residential care for older adults, people living with dementia, those with physical disabilities and younger adults who need support. We are based in Newton Abbot, Devon, and we also offer respite care for those who need a short term stay, whether that is to recover after a hospital admission or to give family carers some time to rest. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our aim is straightforward: to make sure every person who lives here feels safe, respected and genuinely at home. We try to get to know each resident as an individual, understanding their routines, their preferences and the things that matter most to them, so that the support we offer fits around their life rather than the other way around. Our team works hard every day to provide consistent, attentive care, and we are open about the fact that we have received feedback through our most recent CQC inspection that tells us there are areas where we need to do better. We are actively working through those improvements and we welcome that scrutiny, because it helps us focus on what genuinely makes a difference to the people in our care. We are proud to support residents living with dementia and we work to create an environment where people feel calm and familiar with their surroundings. For those with physical disabilities or complex needs, we work closely with healthcare professionals to make sure the right support is in place. If you would like to find out more about life at Mulberry House or arrange a visit, we would be very glad to hear from you. We are always happy to answer questions honestly and to help families feel confident in the choices they are making.
