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.

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.

Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience
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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
