I cannot commend the Donnington Care Home and its staff highly enough as in the 4 years my mum was there she was looked after with the utmost care, kindness, dignity and respect by he whole team and for that my family and I remain eternally grateful as my mum was able to live out the last years of her life in relative comfort with round the clock care.

I have known my friend for 23 years, in that time I looked after him as best I could. Since he has been in the home he seems a lot better in himself. He is eating well and enjoying the social side of the home. He looks well every time I come.

In my experience this seems a very well-ran home. Many of the staff make time to talk to visitors and residents so they know them well and this helps with general morale. My friend is very well cared for in a friendly, cheerful and kind way.

The care Mum has received throughout her 2-year stay here has been wonderful. The nursing staff and carers are people, patient, caring and respectful as well as showing friendly fun behaviour as well. The whole team including admin, housekeeping and maintenance are brilliant.

Care and carers are very good. My only complaint is the garden is in need of some care and attention. Also, the residents would benefit from having a permanent structure to shelter from the sun.

My brother came over from abroad recently and he was very impressed with the care home. We had lunch with Mum on Mother's Day and we were put in the small lounge to have lunch and quality time with Mum. The staff went above and beyond to make it a very special day and the food was excellent. Mum has been in the care home since May 2022 and has gone from strength to strength. All of the staff are amazing with Mum and she is very happy.
Thank you for your kind words. We are really pleased to hear the staff went above and beyond for your family to make the day special, and that overall Mum is so well cared for. We hope to continue providing your loved one with the best possible care.

My name is Tania and I am the home manager at The Donnington.
I started at The Donnington as a care assistant in 2007. I went on to complete my NVQ3 and soon became a team leader and subsequently, a medication trained senior carer. I then became deputy manager and after 5 years in that role and gaining my assistant practitioner diploma level 5, I became the home manager.
I have worked in care for many years. When I was younger and at school, we used to visit a care home and do activities with the residents - that’s when I knew I wanted to work in care and make a career working with older adults.
I enjoy working in care as I love seeing the difference we make to our residents' days. It makes me happy to see the residents smile and I enjoy listening to their life stories. At The Donnington, we have an amazing team of staff.
I am married and I have a cat called TJ. I have a keen interest in classic cars, and I own a 1950 Triumph 1300FWD, called Bluebell. My husband and I attend many car shows around the south area. I also have a passion for the sea, and I love nothing better than going to the coast and sitting by the sea with a coffee.
I live about 5 mins away from the Donnington, so I am always to hand when the staff need me.
