About Mulberry Court
At Mulberry Court, we offer residential care for a wide range of people in the heart of Gillingham, Dorset. We support older adults, younger adults, and people living with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also provide respite care for those who need a short break from their usual arrangements, giving both individuals and their families some much needed breathing space. We are proud to have been rated Good by the Care Quality Commission, which reflects the genuine effort our team puts in every day to make sure the people in our care feel safe, respected, and at home. Life at Mulberry Court is built around the individual. We take time to understand what matters to each person, how they like to spend their days, what makes them comfortable, and how we can best support their independence. No two people are the same, and we do not treat them as though they are. Families are always welcome here. We believe that staying closely connected to the people you love is important, and we do everything we can to make relatives feel like a genuine part of our community rather than visitors on the outside looking in. Our team is experienced, approachable, and consistent. Many of our staff have been with us for a long time, and that continuity means a great deal to the people we support. When you know the faces around you and trust the people caring for you, everyday life feels a lot more settled and secure.
