The staff here are wonderful and nothing is too much trouble. The food is excellent and I enjoy the activities. A lovely place to live.
Always found Doneraile very friendly and helpful, always clean and supply good food. Auntie is well treated, clean and tidy and seems very happy.
I am very happy here and everyone is very kind to me.
This well cared for home was welcoming, warm and homely for my Father who was cared for extremely well by the dedicated staff. They showed great kindness and empathy and I cannot recommend Doneraile highly enough.
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.
My mum came to Doneraile for 3 weeks respite care. She received great kindness and care from both the staff and management. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
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.
Everything about the service is great here. We were both so happy with everything. Home from home. We felt that she was cared for. Everyone so warm and friendly.
My dad was a resident at Doneraile for two years, before passing away on the 9th of August 2016. I have no complaints, only praise for the owners and the staff, who treated my dad with courtesy and respect.
The three years my Mother-in-Law was in this home she was very well cared for.
My brother enjoyed his stay and would be happy to go there again. Excellent.
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.
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!
Very warm and welcoming home. My uncle has settled in very quickly and speaks very highly of his carers. We are impressed with the changes in his mood and the way he has integrated with all at the home. This stimulation is exactly what he needed.
Very homely bedrooms and very friendly whenever we walk in. Extremely happy that our nan is in a lovely place :)
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.
As a 100 year old fully alert happy young man well looked after by all management and staff at this care home. Very happy to be here.
I'm a resident at Doneraile I would recommend this care home because its clean, welcoming staff are very caring and helpful and also polite, the food is very goods, I feel warm, safe and secure. I'm treated with dignity at all times, my room is cosy/warm and light. It's like having my house in one room, I am happy to stay at Doneraile for all the remainder of my days.
I am extremely happy with everything the home has provided. I would be very happy if this was my home. Food is lovely, all A1. Staff are always polite and very helpful when I visit my husband.
