My Mother is a very frail (nearly) 95 year old and I would like to register my gratitude for the overall tangible improvement of all aspects since the new management has been in place. From care to ambience and accessibility to staff, all are now exceptional.
Living proof of the phrase about a new
broom.

Since the home has been taken over by new management the change in the care , atmosphere & general day to day running of the home has been extraordinary. My Nan has not had it easy since becoming a resident 18 months ago, however the care, love & support she has received recently has shown the incredible
change .Unfortunately my nans needs have become increasingly difficult recently, however Nan has been massively supported & us as a family by both the care workers & the management team. We will be forever grateful for the support we're receiving.

Mum was very at home in Templemore Care Home. She interacted with everything that went from singing to exercising and loved having a cuddle on pet day and donkey visits. Mum loved being with lots of other ladies and gents and had some good conversations on all sorts of subjects. She was very happy and
all the staff were great and considerate of her needs - I think she was sad to leave as she asks where her friends are.

I had a 14 night stay at Templemore in June this year and I have to say my experience was wonderful. The staff were wonderful and the management were always about if needed but I can assure you they need not be. The handover of staff was incredible and I have already asked if and when I need further
respite can I go back.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm very happy with Mum being at Templemore Care Home. She wasn't keen on going to a care home but was very much in need of it. Now she's there she loves it and most importantly the care has totally changed Mum's health. It's like she's years younger now that she's eating, drinking and taking her meds
correctly, we've seen such a positive change.
The staff have been brilliant, both individually and as a team, they really do care and have been so supportive to the rest of the family as well as Mum.
I highly recommend Templemore to anyone considering it.

Our mother has been happy at Templemore and has been well looked after. The staff are very friendly and always there if you need them. The outside gardens are lovely in the summer and seem to make the residents a little happier to see the sun. Also, the home is in a good central location.

My mother seems happy at Templemore. All the staff are caring, polite, cheerful and very helpful. The home's activities are varied, interesting and stimulating. Mum gets all the help and assistance required. She has been to BBQs, singing sessions, the recent jubilee celebrations all arranged by the
activities coordinator, plus trips out for lunch. Her recent 90th birthday was celebrated by the staff with a lovely birthday cake. Food is adequate, tea in the afternoon needs improvement, not hot enough and biscuits are not on a plate, just bought in carers hand.

My grandmother is extremely settled and happy at Templemore. She looks really relaxed and well looked after when we visit her. Her physical and general well-being has really improved since coming to Templemore. We, as a family, are really pleased that she is there. The staff are always happy to help

Never in my life will I see how this home has gained a 'requires improvement'. My opinion is those assessing require the improvement. The staff are beyond caring in what they do and how they care. My mum has outstanding care and I am always reassured knowing how all the staff here at every level care
for the residents. Thank you will never be enough, every one of you are amazing and even more so through the challenges you have faced with Covid. Thank you all so much.

My mum has been in Templemore for a year and a half now, it has been quite a journey with her but no matter what the carers and management have been wonderful. Her needs and wellbeing are paramount to the team, that is obvious, which gives me great comfort that my mum is in the best place. The pandemic
has been a difficult time for many, however, I would like to say a special thank you to all the staff for their care and due diligence, my family and I are grateful for keeping my mum safe during this time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would like to highly commend and thank all the staff at Templemore for the wonderful care, affection and dedication they show to my father each and every day. During these very difficult days of Covid-19, lockdown and all that has meant for care workers and staff, our loved ones living in care homes
and us, their families at home, Templemore have been even more of a lifeline than before. My father has been quite unwell throughout this period and although it was so very hard not being able to comfort and encourage him myself, I had no doubts whatsoever that all the staff, whatever their role, would do their utmost on my behalf. He is now improving and regaining some strength, but without the encouragement and perseverance of the staff, I do believe he would have just stayed in bed and given up. I very much look forward to the day I am able to go and visit whenever I wish and join in with everyone again, have a good old sing-a-long and a cup of tea. Thank you so very much!

I would like to commend the manager and all the staff at Templemore for keeping my Mother and other residents safe during the current pandemic. They have successfully managed the care of my Mother who has been in hospital twice with non-COVID related illnesses and has both times been integrated back
into her home and has remained COVID-free. The staff have provided excellent care in difficult circumstances and have mine and the family's gratitude.

Mum has been a resident in Templemore since April 2016. Although at times she was extremely difficult, argumentative and awkward she was always treated with the utmost respect and dignity. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and her family were always made welcome. Her last few days were much
easier to cope with knowing that the staff were still on hand to support her family. Thank you to everybody who helped care for mum, and supported us last week.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.639)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.639) out of 10 for Templemore Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.956 for Templemore Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 45 Ratings = 4.956
  2. 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 3.683 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Templemore Care Home is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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 = 3.375
    2. 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.308
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2025

I began my journey at Templemore 23 years ago, working evenings and weekends in the kitchen. Since then, B&M Care has supported me in developing my career, from completing qualifications and the B&M Care Leadership Pathway to most recently achieving a Distinction in my Level 5 Diploma in Leadership and Management for Adult Care. Over the years, I have held a variety of roles within the home, from Kitchen Assistant and Activity Lead to Senior Carer, before becoming Home Manager.


For me, working at Templemore is far more than a 9–5 job. Our residents and staff are like an extended family, and the home truly feels like one big household. Together, we are committed to providing excellent, person-centred care for our residents, while offering support to their families and to each other as colleagues.
