I feel that Dove Tree House are proactive in their work with my dad. When I ring in I always feel listened to. If there is something that can't be sorted in one phone call, I have always had a recall. The home is clean and in a good state of repairs. There are activities each week which are varied to
try and suit all the residents needs. Dad enjoys his food and says its good. Dad loved his sport and it would be nice if he could have sports channels on his TV in his room. Would be nice if he could have some trips out in the minibus Dove Tree has use of. This would be good for mental health.

Reply from Nathan Stone, Director. at Dove Tree House

Thank you for taking the time to write and publish this really positive and detailed review of your experience, and most importantly that of your dad, with our Care Team and Care Home at Dove Tree House in Exeter. With regards the the sport on TV - we have found that a number of residents now have their own sports subscription services. The televisions in our rooms are all smart so can access the homes WiFi so are able to log in to these services. It's lovely to read that your dad enjoys the food and says it is good. Yes, with the better weather we are looking forward to seeing the mini bus used more often this summer - we have also recently had success in finding a driver - this has been particularly difficult of late and a great frustration to us all! Thank you again for your kind feedback.

I visited a lady who I used to support in her own home, recently she was moved into Dove Tree House. I can say that since moving here she is a different person. I found her smiling laughing enjoying life rather than feeling excluded as she used to be. She was telling me about all the games that the
residents/staff do. Although she is not my family I believe she is finally happy. Thank you.

The care home always gives you a warm welcome when you visit it dos not matter whoever opens the door it is always a friendly smile. l have always found the staff caring and loving to the residents they go above and beyond what they need to do. It stems right from the Manger, Deputy Manager right down
to the care workers. Praise should also go to the cleaners as the home is always very clean. The activities they do with the residents is very good and varied. At meal times they always get a varied menu.

Mum had been a resident of Dove Tree since June 2016. She had dementia and this not only impacted her memory but her mobility as well. The Dove Tree team were amazing with Mum and the other residents from food choice to their care, to activities, to the lovely garden and visitor pod they developed during
Covid which is now used when the hairdresser visits.
The team kept us informed of how Mum was doing and notified us of anything we needed to know - it was like having an extended family.
Sadly Mum passed away in January but even that super sad event was made easier by Dove Tree. They cared for Mum so well and looked after us! In mums final days, she was never alone when we weren’t with her and I can’t tell you how comforting it was to turn up in the morning or after nipping out to get a quick bite to eat, to come back and see one of the team sat with her. I will never forget it or them. I can’t speak highly enough of Dove Tree and its wonderful team (past and present).

Excellent care given and a clean and friendly environment. The clients are always kept clean and the food is good too.
The downside is things go missing so my advice would be don’t take good clothes or valuables. The client I’m talking about had loads of toiletries go missing, his wallet with £60 and
a brand new pair of trousers less than two weeks old with labels still on.

Reply from Nathan Stone, Director at Dove Tree House

Hello Heather. Thank you for this really positive feedback with regards to your experience with our care team and care home at Dove Tree House in Exeter. I'm sorry to hear that your client has had items go missing. Given the sometimes complex care needs of some residents, specifically dementia-type illnesses, it is not uncommon for items to get mislaid, misplaced or lost. Some residents will collect and hoard items, others may throw items away into bins etc. Whilst we do our very best to ensure that items do not go missing I agree that it is a good idea not to take in valuable items (especially if small). All rooms do have a locked cupboard/safe but these are not always used effectively by residents who can often be confused. Cash should be stored in the manager's office. Due to infection control protocols, all clothes have to be washed on hot cycles (60 degrees plus) so all clothes must be able to withstand such temperatures. Thank you again for this feedback.

My mother has been a resident at Dove Tree for over 13 years now and has always been very happy there. Over the last year she has developed some fairly major health problems which are still ongoing. The level of care that mum has received and is still receiving has been incredible. I have been so impressed.
I cannot praise the staff enough for their professionalism, and the way that they go above and beyond by doing ‘that little bit extra.’ The manageress clearly cares very deeply about the residents and is always available to talk to. Mum's care instructions are clearly laid out and are easy to follow while her room is clean, light and airy as is the whole home. The home is supported by a large team of professionals i.e. doctor, physiotherapist, occupational therapist and social worker, not to mention a whole team of district nurses, who have also helped my mum immensely. I can honestly say that if ever I had to choose a residential home for myself, it would be a Dove Tree.

Reply from Nathan Stone, Director. at Dove Tree House

Thank you so much for leaving this glowing review of your experience, and that of your Mum, of life at our Dove House Residential Care Home in Exeter. It's lovely to read that your Mum has been happy at Dove Tree for the 13 years that she has lived there. Dove Tree House joined the Stonehaven family in 2012 - so she has been there longer than us. Your detailed review is greatly appreciated, especially for the way in which it highlights the fantastic work of our care team. Of course, the biggest endorsement of all, 'I can honestly say that if ever I had to choose a residential care home for myself, it would be a Dove Tree'. As I get older myself this type of thought increasingly crosses my mind, and certainly, when I visit Dove Tree, I leave hoping that there will be people and places like that around when I need them! I'm sorry to read that your Mum is facing some major health problems and wish her, and you, all the very best. Kindest regards, Nathan.

After my husband had a tumble out of bed the care he received afterwards was brilliant from one particular lady. The next day she cared for him again and even rang me to update me on his progress which I found really touching as previously I had to ring up asking for information.

Reply from Nathan Stone, Director at Dove Tree House

Hello. Sorry to read that your husband had a tumble out of bed. Of course, that can happen, despite all that we do with regards to care plans and risk assessments, as we do our best to enable our residents to maintain their mobility and independence. I'm sure the care team will have further reviewed your husband's care needs to ensure that we have all the appropriate equipment and checks in place to try to prevent this from happening again. It's lovely to read that the aftercare was brilliant - we have a great care team at Dove Tree and I have no doubt that they will, indeed, have done all they could to ensure your husband's recovery was as fast and supported as possible. Thank you again for this feedback. Kindest regards, Nathan.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.699)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.699) out of 10 for Dove Tree House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

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

    The Average Rating of 4.699 for Dove Tree House is calculated as follows: ( (153 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 209 Ratings = 4.699

  • 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 Dove Tree House 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:

    • 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7, which has been reached with 18 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.
