  • Doneraile Residential Care Home, Newton Abbot
Doneraile is a small, intimate residential care home in Newton Abbot for just 23 residents, part of the award-winning Rose Care Group. Its smaller size means the team can offer truly personalised care for people over 60 at sensible, transparent prices, without compromising high standards.

The home is manager-led, with a long-standing staff team, many of whom have been at Doneraile for years. This stability provides familiar faces, genuine trust and staff who know each resident well - their routines, interests and the small details that help them feel comfortable and at ease. The team sees itself as adding to the family’s care, not replacing it, and focuses on the right balance of independence, support and a sense of belonging.

Doneraile is designed to feel homely yet practical. There is a main lounge where residents can chat and socialise, a quiet lounge for reading or one-to-one time, and smaller spaces to relax with visitors or enjoy some peace. A veranda offers safe, open air for a gentle stroll or a cup of tea in the sun. With only 23 residents, shared spaces feel calm and familiar rather than busy. Activities include creative sessions, gentle exercise, games, coffee mornings, live entertainment and visits from the local reverend - always varied, but never forced.

The home supports a range of needs, particularly for those who prefer a less intimidating, more personalised setting. Whether someone simply wants to feel safe, needs help with day-to-day tasks, or is beginning to need extra support with their memory, care is adapted as needs change so residents can remain settled without the disruption of moving home. Doneraile aims to be a place where residents feel known, valued and part of a family. Prospective residents and their families are welcome to visit to see the home and meet the team.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.828 for Doneraile Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (179 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 215 Ratings = 4.828
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.95 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Doneraile Residential Care Home is based on 18 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.95
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 18 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
