The Royal is a CQC-registered nursing home in Doncaster, run by Crown Care IV Limited. Its CQC registration covers adults of all ages, including people living with dementia and mental health conditions.
At its most recent rating, CQC judged it Good overall (February 2026). It is one of 9 CQC-registered care homes in and around New Rossington; 6 of those are rated Good or Outstanding.
Likely fees
We estimate The Royal at £1,400–£1,720 a week for nursing care (dementia), based on published prices in the region. Over a year that is roughly £73k–£89k.
Where a resident needs nursing, the NHS pays part of the fee straight to the home as NHS-funded nursing care, regardless of who pays the rest.
