Temple Grove

I have nothing but praise for the staff at this home. My husband goes in regularly for respite and is always cared for so well. They also find time for me, a hug or a little chat makes a huge difference. They have made such a difference to our lives and have enabled me to cope better at home by giving such good respite care to my husband and a break for me.

When you envisage a care home, it can bring a horrible memory. Temple Grove has changed my opinion as it is a wonderful place. The staff are amazing, they really care about their residents. I had a long journey and they made sure that I was Ok, got us drinks and somewhere I could rest as we stayed overnight. My cousin was treated with dignity and cared for from the staff's hearts. Wonderful people who are professional and caring. Thank you.

I cannot tell you enough how wonderful the staff here are.
It is a big decision to choose a care home for a loved one and we spent so long visiting homes before choosing this one. The staff are all so lovely and you can see that they all genuinely care about their resident's well-being. They have gone above and beyond to look after my dad and also all of us.
Nothing is ever too much trouble and we are always made to feel 100% welcome. Truly a home from home.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you have done for dad and all of us.

This an excellent care home, set in the countryside, in a beautiful part of the world.
As soon as you enter the building you are struck by the friendly atmosphere and welcomed by the staff.
Standards are high across the board from the support you get to the cleanliness and treatment given.
The staff work as one big team and management is very hands on and always ready to talk to if need be.
After a short time, you come to realise it's like one big warm family, just what a home should be.
Highly recommend it.

Amazing...The staff are absolutely fantastic. The care they gave my brother was above and beyond. They were constantly checking to see if he needed anything and if he was comfortable. My brother needed extensive care and the staff at Temple Grove were more than capable of dealing with all his needs. He was comfortable and so were we as a family. The most beautiful home from home.

Three years ago my sister moved from a nearby, more expensive 'deluxe' home, to Temple Grove.
Initially we were worried that things would not be as comfortable and care not as good.
We were so wrong.
Perhaps not quite as luxurious surroundings inside, or such fine food, but far more carers, call bells answered immediately - always - nothing ever too much trouble, everything done with a smile.
I cannot fault the care, the way we are all greeted when visiting and the kindliness of the staff.
Lovely gardens, good, wholesome food and likes and dislikes always taken into consideration.

Emergency palliative care. The care home has been amazing. Nothing has been too much trouble. They have been considerate, caring and respectful of my step-father. They have supported our family throughout. The nursing staff are kind, professional and always take the time to discuss care needs and changes in my step-father's condition. Each decision has been a joint decision between my step-father's wishes, medical/clinical need and the family's concerns. The surroundings are beautiful and homely. A perfect balance between clinical need and home.

My mother has Parkinson's Disease and needed nursing care so moved to Temple Grove January 2016. She has a room on the ground floor, with a private wet room and french windows out onto a patio. The home is surrounded by gardens and woodland so she has a lovely view.
Her room is clean and comfortable and she has many of her own pieces of furniture, pictures etc.
Mum was, of course, apprehensive about moving to a care home but she settled in very quickly and this was helped by the staff who are kind and caring. The nursing staff ensure that she always takes her various medications on time and the carers check on her regularly, often stopping for a chat or bringing her a hot drink.
Mum can stay in her room if she wishes or can join in the regular activities in the communal dinning room. She can also choose whether to join her friends for lunch in the dinning room or she can have it served in her room.
In summary, I know that my mum is safe and happy and is receiving the best care.

I live 300 miles away from a family friend who has been a resident at the home since January 2017.
As I was coming to support her 'end of life', Temple Grove did all they could to make the four days I was there as easy as possible.
I had plenty of time to see the staff at work, and I can truly say that I was impressed by the friendly staff, the hard work and dedication of staff and the willingness to accommodate both my needs and their residents' needs. I only have one regret, and that is that we weren't able to get my friend to agree to go there earlier. She would have both enjoyed and benefited from it.

Ever since my brother moved to Temple Grove care home in 2015. I have visited him there and found all staff I have come into contact with have been very friendly and helpful. My brother always seems very happy there and gets on with all the staff. He tells me the food is good and should there be something on the menu he does not like there is always something else provided.

From time to time I am told residents meet the chef and put forward suggestions for meals. A weekly notice of activities is given to the residents. The place always looks nice and clean. I cannot comment on value for money as I do not know what my brother pays.

If you are looking for a care home for a loved one, where you don't have to worry if they are being cared for properly, if they are stimulated through daily activities and entertainment, where they receive delicious home cooked food and are ALWAYS treated with care and dignity - then this is the home you are looking for!! If I needed to go in a home, I would want to be in this one, with wonderful caring staff looking after me! You will not find a happier better run home.

My mother moved into Temple Grove in August last year, my mother was previously in another home care home closer to my home - Big mistake! My sisters and I looked at a lot of local homes and Temple Grove shines brighter than any due to its bright, clean, airy rooms and cheery, compassionate carers. I spent a lot of time visiting at this home and never once was I disappointed with the care my mother received. The manager and staff here could teach the other homes a thing or two!

My grandmother spent the last 4/5 months of her life at "Temple Grove". She could not have been better cared for, the staff showed exemplary care and compassion to my grandmother, her every whim was catered to! The manager is hands on and always available to chat or just listen and reassure you. The home is bright, spotlessly clean and I can honestly say ALL the staff are happy, smiling and always ready to help you.

Have found the overall service, care and consideration towards my mother to be second to none.

On entering the home, there is a peaceful atmosphere, not a whiff of urine. No panic, no loud noises, calm.
The first member of staff you meet could be a cleaner at the entrance, has a smile and acknowledgement of you.
Everything that we have asked for has been seen to, any queries regarding personal needs met fully.
Very welcoming to share in meal times - coffee etc.
Meetings planned around us, every bit of information given, reasons why and up to date with legislation.
Couldn't wish fo better place, a "home from home".

My wife went into Temple Grove initially for respite as I needed an operation and couldn't take care of her throughout my recuperation. She has Alzheimer's and was often anxious and agitated while at home but as soon as she went into Temple Grove my wife settled and became a lot calmer. All of the staff are very gentle and kind and I feel it has a positive effect on my wife. It was a hard decision to make for her to be a resident but the home's caregivers have given peace of mind.

Very pleased with the standard of care my mother is receiving at Temple Grove. The staff on Victoria wing are very helpful and caring.
