Doneraile Care Home is an intimate 23-bedroom home in Newton Abbot, providing personalised residential care and support for people living with mild to moderate dementia.
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.

I cannot recommend Doneraile highly enough, it is a well-run home with caring and attentive staff. My father, who has dementia, has lived in the home for over eighteen months now and the staff have always treated him with dignity and respect. It is lovely to see him settled and at ease in his surroundings. Thank you to all the staff for your hard work and kindness.

I had complete trust in the staff in the last days of my aunt's life. They treated her with dignity and care, with love and gentleness. She was there for 2 years and was very happy. Couldn't recommend them highly enough.

What can I say! Since I came here in November 2017 I have received excellent care from the manager and her staff. Being a diabetic they have ensured I have the right food - as I have no teeth my food is minced - great. During the last six months, I have been in an out of hospital and I was really low, could or would not eat and felt very tired! However, since I came here I have received excellent care and have been encouraged to eat and sleep. Thus in the last few weeks, I have mixed with other residents have fun with them. I am now able to look after myself - enjoy the radio/reading/puzzles and banter with the staff. Thanks Doneraile.

My father receives excellent care at this home. He is 100 years old. I would not hesitate to recommend Doneraile. I visit him several times a week and have never had any reason to complain about anything.
The staff are wonderful and caring.

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.

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.

We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
