Click to show a breakdown of the Review Score
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.856 for Doneraile Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (377 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 437 Ratings = 4.856
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Doneraile Residential Care Home is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 5 positive Reviews (25 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 16 Reviews ÷ 5 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

My friend for 51 years has dementia and moved into Doneraile last November. I have been very impressed with the home. The staff seem very caring, it is clean and they seem to have entertainment.
I do not know what the food is like but my friend says it's very good. She has a very nice, large room, with two big windows overlooking the garden.
Today is her 87th birthday and they are having a special tea with a big birthday cake.

I am a relative of one of the residents at Doneraile, she is very happy and very well cared for. The manager is very caring and that goes for all the staff too. I went to visit my relative on a day which there was a man singing and the staff were also singing and dancing too. All the residents were really enjoying themselves. I'm always welcomed by friendly staff and offered tea, coffee and biscuits. I'm very happy to recommend Doneraile Care Home and their excellent caring staff.

I cannot praise the staff of Doneraile enough. My mother lived there for just under four years she passed away in February aged 98. They go out of their way to do anything for her or myself. She enjoyed her time there and the staff would have a joke with her and she with them. After she passed away, all the staff and owner's said she would be missed.

I regularly took my father to visit his sister (my aunt) at Doneraile. We were always impressed by the level of care and the ambience for the residents. The staff were always polite, friendly, helpful and welcoming, and more importantly, my aunt always expressed to us how happy she was there and how she was being well looked after. We and other family members were also promptly informed by the management regarding any health concerns or development, which they dealt with appropriately.

The care my Gran received during her years at Donneraile was fantastic, especially so during her last couple of days.
The care they showed not only to her but their support to me was wonderful and will never be forgotten.
I would highly recommend this home to anyone that asked.

Always a warm welcome whenever we visited day or night, personal care was beyond that of a care home, I cannot say how much I have been amazed at the dedication "Beyond the call of Duty" that my father received in his last days. Staff and management were wonderful, what more can one say.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Sandra + Philip (Friend of Resident) on Wednesday 20 April 2016.
We have been very impressed over the years by Doneraile's staff and their care of our friend. We particularly appreciated the courteous and informative way our telephone calls were answered especially when our friend was unable to speak on the telephone. Staff always made us welcome when we visited and we feel our friend was herself, a testament to the care she was given. Her personal hygiene was impeccable and the dignity offered to her by staff was a jot to see. The ethos of this residential home has set our own standards of expectation should we ever need such care ourselves. A totally 5 star experience, well done.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by R G (Resident) on Saturday 5 March 2016. Relates to February 2016.
The distinguishing feature of Doneraile is the care that all the staff show for the residents, not only as individuals, but, very constructively, as a mutually supportive community. The dining room was a lively hub of conversation in contrast to the morose and listless chomping all too common in the sector. Staff worked actively to involve all residents. It is significant that, when my wife and I were looking for residential care, Doneraile was the only one where a resident spoke to us.
Care for the individual was meticulous. While I was being admitted, a care worker spotted that I had a sore on one toe: on the same day the doctor was called, and a course of antibiotics was prescribed.
My room was delightful: with French windows opening onto the lovely garden. Meals were varied and attractive.
Many of the staff have the long service .. It shows!

As I become older I find myself visiting friends in several residential homes and I can honestly say Doneraile is the best by far. The staff and owners are always very pleasant, I am always offered a cup of tea and all the residents look very content there. My friend is very well cared for and she has plenty of opportunity to join in activities. The food looks and smells excellent. I would highly recommend Doneraile.

My Nan has been at this home for over two years and she is very happy there. When I visit I am made to feel welcome and there is always a lot of laughter from other residents and everyone who works there. An excellent place for my Nan to live as she is a lot happier now than when she was living on her own. She is eating very well and enjoys the activities provided.

Doneraile Residential Care Home in Newton Abbot on first impression is a lovely grand building, has a super garden and terrace area for residents to sit out on. The entrance hall and all common room areas are extremely clean, in great decor and lovely and warm plus smell pleasant. No nasty smells here, ever!!! My mothers room is kept clean and tidy by carers and a cleaner, plus her laundry is catered for also. When you arrive as a guest, you are welcomed and offered a drink and on the occasional time when I have arrived to visit my mother and it happens to coincide with her lunch time, the carers have made it easy for us by bringing her lunch to her in her own room so that we may continue to talk in private. The food has always looked very tasty and wholesome and plenty of it. The dayroom has many seats for residents and they have regular entertainment laid on also, which is enjoyed by all. I would and have on several occasions recommended Doneraile to many friends for their own parents.

Doneraile Care home is an excellent quality care home which is very well managed. It has a very welcoming, warm atmosphere.
Staff are considerate, caring, very polite and helpful, and always go out of their way to make residents (and visitors) happy and comfortable.
The residents have opportunity of joining in lots of different activities and trips if they want to.
I would highly recommend Doneraile.

Doneraile is a very well managed home. The care, respect and kindness given by staff is exemplary. It maintains a lovely home from home appeal and is a happy home with fun and laughter too. The staff are always mindful of the supporting relatives and I am always offered tea and biscuits when I visit. From the first day it has been welcoming, they took great care in settling my mum when she arrived considering it was a rapid change of circumstances for her she ahs settled quickly and is very happy at Doneraile.

I would gladly recommend Doneraile Care home to anyone looking for good quality care provision. We were always made welcome by the staff and my mother was very happy with the high standards. Mum was very happy there and enjoyed her room and the care provided. Towards the end the staff were always so helpful and considerate even gaining a smile and responses when I could not. A good team of carers who had residents to the forefront. Thank you Doneraile for quality care.
