Wolborough Court is a purpose-built residential care home in Newton Abbot, thoughtfully designed to provide comfort, accessibility, and reassurance. With 24 en-suite bedrooms, it combines the high standards and modern facilities of a contemporary care home with the welcoming, close-knit feel of a smaller community.
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. Delicious home-cooked meals are served in comfortable dining rooms, while inviting lounges and attractive outdoor spaces provide the perfect setting to relax, socialise, or spend quality time with family and friends.

My mother has been a resident at Wolborough Court since February 2024. She has settled well and bounced back from a bad time in hospital with the excellent care given. The manager is a wonderful individual who has an excellent rapport with residents and staff, all of whom are cheerful and very helpful. I have every confidence in the team who are working together well. It's great to feel confident that my mother is in good hands and can enjoy being looked after with love.
I particularly like the arrangement of the communal rooms and the range of activities on offer. The quality of the food is also very good, an important consideration.

My mother was at Wolborough Court from December 2023 just before Christmas until she passed away in February 2024. She was cared for in an exemplary way by the endlessly thoughtful staff in all departments of the home from day-to-day care, catering staff, the lady who washed all the clothes and the exceptional manager who not only addressed my mother's needs but also had time for myself when things were stressful. My mother enjoyed the activities and the Christmas festivities which I myself was kindly invited to attend.
I could never speak highly enough of Wolborough Court as a residential home.

My mum's experience at Wolborough Court has been very positive and her quality of life has steadily improved since she joined in November 2022. Management is good and well led. All the staff are very caring and considerate and are always helpful whenever I telephone. Her room is spacious with a great view over a nearby park and she has been able to add some pictures and furniture to help to make it more homely. Food is great and the kitchen spotlessly clean. Sometimes treats are organised for tea-times.
Social activities are also good and it is really great to share photos on social media to view what has been taking place.

I have found the local management understanding, sympathetic and caring. I had great difficulties with higher management concerning the transfer of my brother from hospital back to the care home. It took 5 days with my brother being marooned in a busy surgical ward awaiting a decision on whether he could return to his room. This was distressing for him, his family and extremely frustrating for the hospital. The local management team assessed him in hospital on bank holiday Monday (the manager interrupting her annual leave). I was informed within a few hours that he would be able to return subject to the owner and financial directors' agreement. Hence the delay, the apparent policy is to contact by email only, presumably leaving a paper trail! The emails were not picked up! This delay concerned the cost of extra staff cover and the provision of a special bed.
This is not acceptable for a caring organisation. The company's policy must change, and a 24/7 decision process should be a priority.

We can only apologise that you feel you were let down by higher management in the returning of your brother to the care home. For the home to comply with all CQC regulations and safeguarding guidelines, we are legally obliged to ensure that we were able to safely re-admit your brother, and that we could safely meet his needs. We worked as fast as we could to resolve this issue for you, even asking the manager to cut short her annual leave and senior management were looking at this over the weekend. As privately explained by the managing director to yourself, the delays were not due to any policy about requiring email-only communication. Phone calls are quite regular within our team. It was caused in part by having to receive information from the hospital and then to bring in the right equipment to keep him safe. We will look at the process and see if things can be sped up further.
At the same time, we were overall pleased that you had a good experience with us

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.

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.

With only 20 or so residents, there is a feeling of being part of a family and friends were soon made.

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.
