The first entry on our list of the best care homes in Doncaster is Montagu Hall Care Home. This home is on the outskirts of Doncaster, in the South Yorkshire market town of Mexborough. We love this location, near several large cities and the stunning Peak District National Park.

Every bedroom is spacious and features an en-suite bathroom, a smart TV and a mini-fridge. What’s more, residents can enjoy themselves in communal facilities such as the hair and beauty salon, the cinema, one of the cosy lounges, the café bar, or an outdoor sensory space. These sensory spaces are particularly beneficial for residents living with dementia.
Several types of care are available at Montagu Hall. 24/7 residential care is provided if your loved one has some degree of independence but would benefit from additional support and security, including assistance with tasks such as using the bathroom and getting dressed.
This care is available on a permanent or short-term respite basis. Also available are temporary convalescent care and compassionate palliative care (which focuses on providing comfort for those who have been diagnosed with a terminal or chronic condition).
