As part of the award-winning Rose Care Group, Doneraile combines the reassurance of an experienced provider with the warmth, familiarity and personal touch of a smaller home, alongside sensible, transparent pricing.
Every resident is treated as an individual. The team takes time to understand each person’s life story, routines, preferences, interests and what matters most to them, creating care that feels familiar, reassuring and meaningful. As needs change, support adapts too, helping residents remain in familiar surroundings with people they know and trust.
Doneraile’s long-standing, manager-led team provides consistency and familiar faces. The Registered Manager and Deputy Manager are actively involved in daily life, building strong relationships with residents and families and creating a safe, welcoming community where everyone is known as an individual.
Activities are an important part of life at Doneraile. A dedicated Activities Coordinator is present six days a week, with the care team providing activities on the seventh, ensuring residents have opportunities for meaningful engagement every day.
From music, baking and gardening to reminiscence, games, outings and quieter one-to-one time, activities are shaped around residents’ interests, abilities and choices. Families are encouraged to remain closely involved and are always warmly welcomed.
Families are invited to visit Doneraile, meet the team and discover a home where personalised care, companionship, familiar faces and meaningful activity help make every day count.

Mum spent 17 months at Doneraile, and sadly passed away in May. I want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone for the love and care you gave her. Knowing that Mum was happy, safe and surrounded by such amazing, kind and caring staff gave us much comfort. Every member of staff treated her with genuine warmth, dignity and compassion. You made her laugh, and comforted her on difficult days. In time you became like an extended family to Mum. Jill the manager and Gemma the deputy manager are exceptional. They lead by example creating such a warm, supportive atmosphere. They were always approachable and supportive to me with my concerns for Mum, as were the absolutely amazing carers. Mum loved taking part in the activities, especially the Music afternoons, which lifted her spirits and always brought a smile to her face. She really enjoyed the plentiful, delicious home cooked meals. Mum was a pescatarian but that was never a problem for the kitchen!
Thank you for everything you did for my beautiful Mum.

It was a true privilege to care for your mum over the 17 months she was with us. She brought so much warmth and personality to Doneraile, and it means the world to us to know that she felt happy, safe and loved in our care. Your kind words about Jill, Gemma and the whole team will mean so much to them. They work tirelessly to create a home where residents are treated with dignity, compassion and kindness, and your feedback is a wonderful reflection of the care they provide every day. We're so pleased your mum enjoyed the activities, especially the music afternoons, and that our kitchen team could make sure she always had meals she loved. Seeing residents smile and enjoy the little things in life is what makes our work so rewarding.
Thank you for trusting us with your mum's care

My mum went to Doneraile for emergancy restbite and has now become a permanent resident. As it was an emergancy we hadn't viewed before hand but it was meant to be. There is a VERY welcoming, happy, lively and inclusive atmosphere, and it's like a little community. The staff are so caring, friendly, tactile when needed, full of fun and life and they all have a fantastic sense of humor, which the residents respond to. Doneraile is not a 'god's waiting room' type of care home, everyone is loved, cared for and treated with respect and there is so much fun and laughter.
My mum has dementia and at first she was really quiet, wanting to be on her own but now she has lots of friends that she chats and laughs with and joins in with the activities, l would say that she is starting to thrive and l don't think that she would be if she wasn't in THIS care home.

I can't praise Doneraile Residential Home highly enough, from the first time I stepped through the door, to assess if it would be suitable for my husband, I have been extremely impressed, this really feels like a home from home, it's welcoming, warm and friendly, the entire team are superb, attentive, compassionate, always respectful and consummately professional, care is tailored for the needs of the individual and regularly reassessed. Visitors are made welcome and residents are encouraged to interact with other residents and staff with conversation, various activities, games and regular entertainment. David has a lovely spacious room and food is excellent, delicious and plentiful, something particularly important to David. The premises are always lovely and clean. I would have no hesitation in recommending Donerail to anyone seeking first class residential care.
One word sums up the wonderful Doneraile Residential care home really and that's superlative.

It was a very difficult and emotional decision to place mum into care. Mum has vascular dementia and Initially mum was staying for a few weeks but now doesn't want to return to her own home. After two weeks there was a vast improvement in her mood and engagement with activities, best decision mum made and great peace of mind. The home is very warm and welcoming staff are friendly and approachable. I really like that the managers door is always open, able to chat with management and staff. I can be a daughter again and not a carer.

Mum lived at Doneraile for 18 months until her death due to old age and frailty. The family and I were so impressed by the way the staff were able to respond to her changing needs over the months. They referred to specialist services to assess and help staff manage different aspects of mums care. The food was very good and as a family we were welcome to eat with mum in the dining room. We shared meals in mums room too. There is a full range of activities including church services which was important to mum. Mums room was kept immaculately clean as were all areas in the home with regular changes being made to upgrade the home. All emergency issues were dealt with swiftly and we were kept fully informed. We were particularly impressed by the kindness and professionalism shown by all staff in the last few weeks of mums life. Everyone treated mum with dignity and it was obvious how much the staff cared for mum. Nothing was too much trouble and we felt cared for too.

Dad lived independently keeping active through swimming and walking until last year when his health deteriorated when he needed a short period in hospital. He subsequently came to Doneraile, initially for respite care, in September '24. The staff were so welcoming and compassionate that you immediately felt 'at home'. Dad soon settled in, taking part in the activities and enjoying the company of the friendly staff and residents. Due to dad's continued vulnerability it was evident that independent living was no longer an option. He is very happy and content to be a permanent resident at Doneraile and he continues to thrive with the excellent and professional care that dad receives.

My aunt, has been a resident at Doneraile for many years now; as her needs have increased, particularly over the last year, these have been met with a professional, caring and compassionate approach. Respect is always demonstrated by the senior and junior carers, alongside maintaining her dignity. Although, my aunt, is very often happy with her own company, she is always encouraged to join in many of the activities, particularly those, that are of particular interest to her, such as the musical entertainment, visiting pets. The home is always very clean and tidy and at meal times, the dining room provides a pleasant place for the residents, to have their meals and socialise, if they wish?
I would definitely recommend Doneraile to those who are looking for a residential care home, fir a relative or friend

Overall Experience
My wife was in Doneraile from May 2024 to September 2024, when she sadly passed away. The care and support were excellent. My wife loved the sing-song times and the music. The staff are excellent, and nothing is too much to do for the care they give. My mum was also in Doneraile from 2000 to 2002.

My wife suffered from dementia that was getting hard to manage, so she came to Doneraile for 2 weeks' respite. Having been unhappy at our home, she was much happier there. We had some lovely times when I visited. Sadly she had a fatal stroke towards the end of the fortnight. The care home is very well run. Cleanliness, comfort, care, and food are all good. The big thing is that care is good. The staff are all very helpful. The only slight downside is that space in the communal rooms is a bit limited, but that wouldn't stop me coming back.
