Doneraile Residential Care Home

Nice big room and the food was ok, not always to my taste! Staff absolutely brilliant, couldn't do enough for me! Always checking to see if all was ok and if I needed anything. Made a couple of friends which was nice!

The home is spacious and peaceful on arrival. It is clean with excellent facilities for example stair lifts. The staff are knowledgeable, professional and patient. I will use Doneraile again when the need arises.

Dad was so well cared for at Doneraile where he spent the last weeks of his life. He was made welcome from day 1 and the staff did everything they possibly could to enable him to join in with daily life in the home. As his health deteriorated they cared for him with professionalism but also compassion. They engaged with him and tuned in to his sense of humour, never forgetting the character of the person they were caring for. I found the staff to be helpful and approachable - I could ring them anytime and they were honest and open with me. They were so supportive to me when Dad passed away and I can’t thank them enough for everything they did.

My uncle went into the home after falling at home and needing recovery time. He was their for 4 weeks. The home couldn’t have been more attentive. The staff was lovely and caring and the food was good. Families were welcomed and my uncle loved the visits from the animal man. The home is in the process of redecoration and has a fresh modern feel.

I can't rate this care home highly enough!

Nothing to complain.

My relative has been in respite care at Doneraile Care Home for 8 weeks. The staff have been warm and welcoming; upon arrival as a visitor, there is always a member of staff on hand. Advice from staff is given in a timely and professional manner - giving the impression that the patient is valued and treated with respect. Meals are much enjoyed by my relative and she enjoys the caring atmosphere.

Although our father was only there a short time, he was cared for in a compassionate and caring environment. The care home staff were very diligent and proactive in identifying his illness and the need for urgent medical care.

My mother-in-law was met by both the new manager and some familiar faces. Made very welcome by everyone. The team looked after her very well whilst allowing her that important little piece of independence. She felt that people listened to her and tried to look after her individual needs. The best way to sum this up is to confirm that she would be happy to return!

I have always dreaded the thought of going into any sort of 'home' but I have been very happy here. I have been allowed to stay in my own room, which has meant a lot to me as I do not enjoy any sort of communal experience. Being able to have privacy and quietness is very important to me. I have found the staff here very helpful and the food is excellent. I hate cooking but love food!

My mother resided at Doneraile Residential Care Home from March 2020 through to her passing in December 2022. She suffered from dementia. Throughout her stay, the staff and management at Doneraile Care Home were exemplary. They demonstrated compassionate and professional care on a daily basis throughout. The onset of covid and all that came with it presented many new and unforeseen difficulties and I think the entire Doneraile team under excellent management dealt with a difficult situation very well.

My mother has been at Doneraile Residential Care Home for six years. She has just died there peacefully. Throughout her stay, the staff and management have been excellent. Mum was cared for with humour and dignity. Doneraile Residential Care Home is very well run and the staff are very kind. At the end of her life, everyone treated her with great respect and kindness.

My mother spent the last six years of her life in Doneraile. She was treated, at all times, with care and compassion. The management and staff are professional and very kind. The property is clean and well kitted out. Doneraile has provided a superb service to my mother and to my sister and me. I am very grateful to them.

I feel my mother is in extremely good hands with the staff caring for her at Doneraile Residential Care Home. They are friendly and courteous to her, and I have been allowed to speak with her at a good distance on a couple of occasions as maintaining residents safety, in general, is their key objective, which I'm glad about.

I cannot fault my experience of Doneraile.

This home is excellent in every way every member of staff are so caring they really are true unsung heroes, the passion they show is truly wonderful. Management are incredible and caring.

My nan has lived at Doneraile for over five years and during that time she has received exceptional care and kindness. The home is always a happy and friendly place to visit.

My mum spent 4 weeks in Doneraile and from the moment she arrived there from hospital she was treated with warmth, care, and kindness. Her room was lovely and peaceful. The staff were brilliant and their cheerfulness helped Mum to settle in quickly. The food was tasty and well presented and they went out of their way to ensure Mum could eat and drink even though she didn't have a big appetite. As relatives, there was always someone on hand to let us know how Mum was doing and to include us in any discussions about her care and well-being.

They always went the extra mile to make sure Dad's requirements were met and that he was comfortable and happy.

Since mum has been at Doneraile, her health care and general well being have been excellent. The team at Doneraile support her with genuine care and professionalism, especially through periods when her health has not been so good. It gives us great peace of mind that mum is in such good hands.
