Review from Felicity S (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My father has only been at Dove Court a very short time but I have been very impressed by how quickly all the staff have developed a rapport with both my father and the family.
All the staff have been exemplary. Staff are amazing - one stayed an extra two hours to sort out a problem we had!

Rooms are well equipped, spacious and very homely. Having a little patio garden makes it extra special.

Overall Experience

Clean, relaxed and freshly hatched chicks to hold, not only the resident's attention but mine also. It gave my friend a chance to talk to the other residents as I know he can be guarded at first.

Overall Experience

During the period my father was a resident at Dove Court he was treated with great respect and provided with excellent care by the staff. The care home is in a lovely setting and always seems clean and welcoming. The resident's needs are always considered and there are lots of activities and excursions provided. My father loved his time there. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Review from Jane S (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mum moved Dove Court as she wasn't coping at home after my father passed away. We are so pleased to have found Dove Court. My mum is very happy and the staff are excellent; nothing is too much trouble for them. They take great care of her and the food is excellent. I'm currently living overseas and I'm confident that my mum is in excellent hands. The conservatory is lovely and my mum enjoys sitting there and talking to friends or reading. The patio is lovely for sitting out in the summer and enjoying the flowers and wonderful view. Overall we couldn't be happier with Dove Court.

Review from Catherine H (Friend of Resident) published on 25 September 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My friend is treated with respect, care and compassion. There any many little areas where residents can sit without feeling they have all being lumped in a corner together. There is a huge conservatory overlooking Seaton estuary and the sea, with a patio to sit outside in nice weather.
In my many visits, I have not once met a member of staff who isn’t friendly and polite with both me and the residents. They do a fantastic job and my friend who is a resident cannot praise them enough.

They have all taken the time to get to know her as a person and notice if she isn’t her usual self. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dove Court to anyone who is looking for care for a friend or relative.

Review from Greg M (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 14 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Everyone is very friendly and most importantly, attentive to residents needs. Meals take into account the personal likes and dislikes and a glass of wine is always served at lunch. My mother, who rarely wants to go out on the Dove bus, spends a lot of time in her room, which she is very pleased with and having her own TV is a godsend, as well as a well-tended patio garden. She also likes to wander around helping run the home and staff seem very happy to indulge her. All in all, after six months in and we are very confident she is being well cared for and if anything was amiss we would know straight away from staff or other residents. The only complaint we have is the hedge is so high it blocks the beautiful view for lower floor rooms.

Review from Paul A (Relative of Resident) published on 22 July 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Whenever I visit Dove Court the staff greet me with a smile and an offer of a hot or cold drink. They all appear to be happy in the work they do with their residents. I always find a few residents sat in the lovely conservatory chatting and doing the daily crossword. The atmosphere is always so relaxed and friendly. My relative says that he would not want to be in any other home nothing is ever too much trouble and the activities and cooking are excellent.

Review from A L (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Effort is made to cater for residents with a wider range of requirements from professional support for those with significant health issues, to thoughtful gestures to enhance the lives of more active residents. Daily activities and outings bring pleasure to many. Staff make an effort to make residents and family welcome and after a settling in period Dove Court succeeds in creating a sense of homeliness. When there are issues to be addressed, it is possible to approach staff to work out a solution. Food, care, housekeeping are of a consistent high standard.

Amanda
Amanda Job Title:ManagerJoined: 2017

My name is Amanda and I became the manager for Dove Court in April 2024.

I have worked for the company since 2017. I came on board as an assistant manager and progressed to a manager.

I have always worked in the care profession since I was 19 years old and I thoroughly enjoy it.

I enjoy ensuring the residents are empowered to make day-to-day decisions over their lives and believe safeguarding is of the utmost importance.

I’m glad that Doveleigh Care can make a difference in so many people’s lives – staff and residents included.

Nikii
Nikii Job Title:Deputy ManagerJoined: 2021

My name is Nikii and I am Dove Court’s Deputy Manager.

I started working in Domiciliary care in 2014 and progressed to a supervisor and eventually a Care Coordinator.

I wanted a change from working in the community so started working in a care home as a senior carer in 2021, during the COVID pandemic.

I have been at Dove Court since late 2021 and have just been promoted to deputy manager this April.

I love to make a difference in people’s lives and enjoy providing good support and guidance to staff members.
