The Cedars caters specifically for residents whom have various dementia related needs and are experiencing latter stages of the condition. Cedars II was added in 1997 and cares for residents who have a diagnosed dementia and require a more private and undisturbed, supported living space.

Templemore is a very good care home and is up with the best in its price ranges.
It is managed and staffed by good people. The management are approachable and will discuss matters as necessary.
The staff are conscientious, caring, helpful and will willingly assist with problems when asked.
I would
highly recommend Templemore to anyone requiring care services for their loved ones.

My mother was very happy during the month she spent at Templemore. She repeated several times how lovely all the people were, both staff and residents. Although a huge house it felt welcoming and pleasant from the moment I first walked in, the staff were very helpful and there was nothing to fault.
Thank you for being so good to mum.

Just wanted to say a huge congratulations to all of the staff for their hard work on Thursday 27th June with the Alzheimer's walk. I missed the one last year as I was working, but was able to attend with my mum this time around and thoroughly enjoyed it. I really must mention the care staff....care
homes and staff come in for a lot of criticism....but I can’t praise the Templemore team highly enough. There were a few very vulnerable residents attending the walk and needed some encouragement to join in, but they were so patient and understanding that it renewed my faith in human nature!!!!!! This treatment wasn’t just reserved for the few, all the residents were treated with the same patience and dignity. It was a lovely morning and the weather played its part too. Thank you!!!!

My Father in Law has been at Templemore in Cedars since November 2017. During that time he has been treated with kindness and care by all of the staff. He enjoys the delicious home cooked food and the activities that are available on a daily basis. The manager and administrator are always happy to discuss
care with regular updates. Nothing is too much trouble.

My mother has been a resident at Templemore for 2 1/2 years and throughout that time has received care, consideration and affection from all the staff. Whenever she has had an accident requiring attention she has received it promptly and efficiently. Thank you all.

Mum has been at Templemore since April 2016, first in residential, then Cedars 1 and now Cedars 2. As her needs have changed and increased, and her abilities and understanding diminished, her changing needs have been met with great compassion, allowing her to maintain a level of dignity. As a family,
we couldn't ask for more

Visited my grandma today at Templemore with my mum for the Easter celebration. The entertainment was fantastic and grandma and I enjoyed having a sing-a-long to the different songs!! It was lovely to see relatives of other residents there enjoying the celebration also. All the staff were very caring
and showed obvious warmth and regard for the residents. The food provided in the buffet was also lovely.

The management and staff at Templemore Care Home have been looking after my father since May 2016. They have shown a very caring and professional attitude towards him and nothing is too much trouble. He is very happy there and the care home has a relaxing, calming atmosphere and is very clean. They
provide plenty of activities for anyone who wants to join in. He enjoys the food and the variety.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother Hickman passed away on December 24th 2016, at the grand age of 100+ years. She had been a resident at Templemore for 3+ years. During all that time she was looked after extremely well by all the staff who came into contact with her. She came to regard Templemore as her home, and was happy
to be there.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Templemore Care Home for anyone needing care during the whole day. The home is spotlessly clean, the choice of meals perfect, and the attitude of all staff most caring.

Each time is visited mum in Templemore, I've been impressed by how caring and attentive the staff are and how well mum responds to them. They've managed to get her to eat when she initially refused and to calm her down she's been distressed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care home provides a very friendly atmosphere, it's extremely clean and well laid out. My mother became a resident 12 months ago, and I've not had one complaint, either from my mother or any of my family who visit her. We can go to visit anytime, personally, when I go, which is at least a couple
of times a week, my mum always looks nice, dressed nicely, hair done, clean etc etc. The staff are always helpful, pleasant, and very caring, (with a smile).


They have trips out, only the other week, my mother went to the dog racing. Meal etc, she had a great time!! Something she would have never done when living on her own, they go to the park, out for tea and cakes, garden centres, etc etc. All good !
All in all, it's a happy place, where everyone seems to get on, the staff are cheerful, and it's well run.
I would definitely recommend Templemore, I would make it 9/10 only because nothing is perfect...but my mum is very happy !!!!

Review from L H (Niece of Resident) published on 31 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt was in 2 previous homes for approximately 2 years. 1 for only 2 months. By comparison, Templemore is top of the list, I visit sometimes twice weekly and never at the same time. The carers and management alike are all friendly and approachable, and will find the time to talk if necessary.
My
aunt is not the easiest person to get along with and can at times be rude to the staff. The staff are never fazed by this and understand the reasons for the rudeness. Every carer I have met has been excellent and have proved to be considerate and kind at all times. The home is wonderfully clean and always smells good - one of my complaints of the previous home. Entertainment is first class.

Our Mum was very well looked after here.
She was always happy when we visited, making it pleasant for us all.
We enjoyed many occasions as a family.
She talked as if she was at home. What more can a family wish for.
Thank you.

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.
