  • Wolborough Court, Newton Abbot
Wolborough Court is an exclusive and magnificent residence that has been purpose-built with providing excellent care in mind. With exquisite attention to detail it is truly a beautiful place to live. The home boasts three lounges and two dining rooms all beautifully furnished and with a patio door that leads onto the home's private veranda.

Staff treat residents as they would want their own mother or father to be treated. Socialising is especially important and residents are encouraged to join in on the daily activities, eat well, sleep well and make new friends. The home is very focused on helping its residents to recapture that sparkle for life. The staff too have been with Rose Care Group for quite a while and take pride in not just being a care home but an extended family for all residents.

Longer-term residential care and also day-care are available. In day-care, individuals may choose to join the home during the day but go back to their own home during the night. Shorter visits are also available (for example coming for a couple of hours to join for a cup of tea and a bath) and joining in activities with the home's friendly little family.

The home is proud to be a winner of the Top 20 Mid-Sized Care Home Group award, 2024 and 2025.

When my mum started in Wolborough Court Care Home we were very unsure but the care and support your staff gave her was excellent and you all made her feel welcome. When my mum said she only wanted a female carer helping her to shower, you understood her feelings. Your staff are always on hand if we
need help and advice.
When Mum moved into her lovely room with great views, decorated to a good standard, the only picky thing is the carpet is quite stained. The facilities, e.g. laundry is done to a great standard and you even put my mum's clothes away neat and tidy. Sometimes I go to see Mum in the evening and the bins haven't been emptied from the day before. The toilet needs bleaching daily to keep it fresh. The food and drink on offer is a nice selection. We feel safe knowing the security is good. Since the new management has taken over, we can see a lot of good improvements. Wolborough Court is a well-presented care home. Well done everyone.

This is our first visit to Wolborough Court and our immediate impression was what a wonderful home for my sister. It's very clean, the staff are wonderful, the food excellent and my sister feels very safe, which was our first priority. I cannot thank the staff enough for their commitment to all the
residents and how they've made my sister very happy.

Reply from Martine Williams, Area Manager at Wolborough Court

Thank you for your lovely review, I am so pleased that your sister has settled in well at Wolborough Court and that she is very happy.

Mum has been at Wolborough Court Care for the past six months and has settled well, mainly due to the care and attention she has received from the staff. The staff treat her like they would their own family and we are always welcomed when we visit, made to feel at home and encouraged to be part of her
care.
The building is purpose built, it is well kept and is generally clean and tidy. Mum has a large room with amazing views across the countryside which she loves. She was able to bring her own bits and pieces which has helped to make it feel like home.
The food is generally good and the lunches are varied, the roast on Sunday is always talked about.
The staff is really what makes this place, nothing is too much trouble, they are friendly and approachable and the care she receives is great.

Really caring environment and staff will do anything to help. Mum initially moved in on a temporary basis and this is now permanent. The staff treat Mum like family and will help her in any way she needs. The new manager seems to want to make more positive changes for the future that I believe this
will only improve the home's environment and care further.

Dad came to Wolborough Court on an NHS placement for rehabilitation for four weeks. However, after initial reluctance, he soon came to the decision that he would like to stay permanently. He and I found the home to be kept in a very clean and welcoming state. The staff are always friendly, cheerful
and helpful. With only 20 or so residents, there is a feeling of being part of a family and friends were soon made.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mum had a sharp decline with her Alzheimer's and I had to quickly find a care home in the local area. After visiting several, Wolborough Court was clearly the one best suited - the only one of those I visited that was purpose-built to be a care-home, rather than simply converted from an existing
structure. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and accommodating and are a nice mix of ages. They quickly made Mum feel welcome as well as myself and other family members whenever we came to visit. The house itself is lovely with good amenities and a gem of a courtyard (fully secure) with wonderful views across the rolling fields, which is a great place to sit with relatives on sunny days.

Reply from Paul Nery, Owner at Wolborough Court

Thank you, James. We are so glad you are happy. I will let the the whole team know.

Given the challenging personality that our mother has developed due to Alzheimer's, we feel that they provide a good safe haven for her.

My friend has been a resident here for a while now and I enjoy hearing from her when I phone each week.
She is well looked after and I used to enjoy my visits before COVID, I can’t wait to go back soon and see everyone.

My aunt is new to needing living support after being at home for so long but Wolborough Court is doing a great job settling her into communal life. I have only seen the inside of the home via a video tour but it looks very spacious and aunty says the staff are very caring to everyone.

Mum is well looked after and seems to want for nothing since joining the home. It’s clean and she tells me the chef does wonders with the meals. Has a good space outside to now visit. As a family, we can’t thank the home enough for keeping Mum safe.

My dear friend of many years is a resident at Wolborough Court and I have finally been to see her from a safe distance after many months apart. It was lovely to see her looking well and being looked after by the hard-working staff who will always have time to update me on our weekly telephone call to
the home. Carry on doing a marvelous job.

Mum has been a resident here for over a year. She’s very well looked after and very happy, gets on with all the residents, it’s like a real family. Can’t fault the home or the team. Very clean, and the food always smells wonderful. Although I can’t visit right now, I know she’s in good hands.

I am happy here. The staff are friendly and helpful, they help me with my care and always give me lots of cups of coffee as I like my coffee and a few biscuits to go with it. The food is good. I enjoy my meals and look forward to lunchtime. Me and my teddybear enjoy sitting in the lounge with other

Keeps me well fed and I enjoy my food. Setting is superb facing the South you get a lovely view especially at night, I get to see the moon rise and move across the sky at night from my room. Peaceful environment, no loud noises and away from traffic. Lovely local walk to the church which is long enough
for me. I love a good cup of tea and am always given one. People here are lovely some with dementia but there is a good mixture and always a friendly face to talk to including staff. The staff are lovely to talk to and very happy and chatty.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.855)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.855) out of 10 for Wolborough Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.855 for Wolborough Court is calculated as follows: ( (171 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 200 Ratings = 4.855

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wolborough Court is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
