Wolborough Court is a purpose-built residential care home in Newton Abbot, thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, accessibility, and reassurance.

The home supports independence while providing a safe and welcoming environment. Residents benefit from wide, level corridors, a lounge, activities room, two dining rooms and a sunny terrace where they can relax with family and friends or enjoy the fresh air.
What makes Wolborough Court special is its size. With only 24 residents, the team has the time to build genuine relationships and get to know each person as an individual. Routines, preferences, life stories and the little details that matter are understood and valued, helping residents feel settled and truly at home.
Wolborough Court offers day care, respite care and permanent residential care, with support tailored to each person’s needs and adapted as those needs change. The home supports older people with a range of care needs, including those living with frailty and mild to moderate dementia, always encouraging independence while providing reassurance when needed.
Life at Wolborough Court is about much more than receiving care, it’s about enjoying each day in a welcoming and supportive community. Residents can take part in a varied programme of activities designed to promote wellbeing, encourage friendships, and inspire conversation. From arts and crafts, quizzes and gentle exercise to baking sessions, live entertainment and themed events, there is always something to enjoy.

My Dad was a resident at Wolborough Court for nearly 2 years. When he first went there I felt uncertain about how he would get on. But the care, from what I could see, was first class.
The team were superb and attentive not just to my Dad but to all the residents. It is an ideal size as things don't get missed and the attention to detail on individual care needs is very good.
There were quite a few activites laid on helping people feel involved. I had regular feedback on Dad and felt I was always kept in the loop which is important for peace of mind. Whenever issues were raised with Wolborough Court they were always dealt with quickly and thoroughly.
I would not hesitate to recommend Wolbrough Court. My Dad felt safe and happy there and was well cared for by a great team of professionals.
My mum has been at Wolborough Court for a couple of years now after starting there as day care, she enjoyed it so much that when a space was available she decided to, with the family's support, live there permanently. The home has an excellent manager called Lisa, who is very clear with her...
The home is brilliant which is down to all the staff who are very good at their jobs and always seem happy doing what they do. The chef and her team provide excellent food which I have personally witnessed. The activities provided to the residents are unbelievably good and are shared via their social media page which is good for the families to view. 5 star isn't enough for Wolborough Court, so please bear that in mind it's really 6 star.

Mum was in above home for 30 months, after a wobbly start she settled in, made friends and got used to the routine. The staff treated her well and took good care of her until she passed.
