About Mulberry House

Mulberry House accommodates up to five adults with learning disabilities in single-level accommodation. At the time of inspection, all five places were occupied. The home relocated to its current property to better meet residents' needs, with four of the five current residents moving together from the previous location.

A manager took up post in May 2018 and had been registered with CQC.
