I would like to thank Temple Grove more than I can express for making the last few months of my sisters life as good as it possibly could have been. The nursing care was exceptional and I'm sure this why she lived comfortably for much longer than expected. Everyone is kind, helpful and so caring, nothing was ever too much trouble. If anyone is considering a Care Home they really should go and see Temple Grove it's fabulous in every way possible.
Thank you so much for your very kind review, your sister was such a strong lady and I am glad that you were so happy with the end of life care that she received. I will share your kind words with the team. Sending our love and condolences to you and all the family.
A real home from home and fantastic caring staff throughout! We have all been made to feel so welcomed and cared for.

Nick (my husband) has been here at Temple Grove since January 2025. I have complete peace of mind with this Care Home knowing Nick is happy and very well cared for. The staff in the Victoria Unit are all so compassionate, caring + always have time to talk to me. The staff generally I've always felt are first class and brilliant at dealing with dementia patients.

The care she has received so far has been absolutely fantastic. Every member of the team has gone above and beyond to meet her individual care needs and make her feel comfortable. They took the time to set up her room exactly how she wanted it, and nothing has ever been too much trouble.
From the maintenance team and activities staff to the carers, office staff, and the wonderful nurse on her unit, everyone has been so caring, supportive, and professional. The nurse in particular is incredibly understanding and always takes the time to listen to my client's needs and concerns.
It's reassuring to know she is in such capable and compassionate hands. Thank you to everyone at Temple Grove for making such a difficult transition such a positive experience.
Thank you so much for your review. The team are very appreciative of your kind words and its is lovely to hear that you have found the transition to Temple Grove such a positive experience.
The Nursing home has always been clean, tidy and well looked after. The staff are fantastic, very helpful friendly, welcoming and professional

The staff are helpful and caring and she feels well looked after. She likes it here very much and enjoys watching the birds from her room & listening to music on the radio. She thinks the food is delicious.
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We are so pleased that Mum enjoys her life here, especially bird watching!

I've given Temple Grove 'excellent' for every catagory as they have provided impeccable service throughout my mum's stay. My mum has dementia and isn't always the easiest of residents but the team on 'Victoria' ward have without fail treated her with kindness respect and dignity. I would recommend them without hesitation. Thank you for taking such good care of my mum.
Thank you for your recommendation and positive review. We are fortunate to have a wonderful and settled team on the Victoria wing who are passionate about dementia care. It's lovely to hear that your mother is enjoying her time with us.

My partner is well cared for by a team of caring and hard working carers. The unit manager in particular is conscientious, empathetic, organised. And quite clearly genuinely cares for my partner. The number of staff to patient ratio is very good also. They do genuinely try hard to create a safe and caring environment and the entertainment programme is given a lot of thought.
Thank you so much for taking time to write this wonderful review. The team who care for your partner will be so pleased to read this and I am proud of them all. They certainly do work hard to provide an excellent standard of care. I will be very happy to share this feedback with them.
Staff excellent, friendly, efficient. There has been cost-cutting in several areas, without consideration for residents. The garden needs more gardeners.

Many thanks for taking the time to review our service. We are surprised you feel there has been cost cutting. We have just completed an extensive refurbishment of the interior and exterior of the home. We have not reduced our headcount and indeed continue to staff substantially above other homes. We generally have 6- 8 nurses in the building during the day and staff ratios for healthcare assistants are 1:3 residents when most home operate at 1:6 residents. We over staff and do not use agency workers. We have invested heavily in the garden this year, with new garden furniture, awnings, replanting all our beds and creating a new footpath so wheelchair users can fully enjoy the grounds. We note you scored our food poorly. We are aware that your treatment has affected you sense of taste, so we have endeavoured to curated a personalised menu of your favourites for you, when required. This has included fillet steak and even McDonald's take away in an effort to restore your palate

Sending you our deepest condolences in respect of your brother in law and many thanks for taking the time to review our service.
Very reassured knowing that our loved one is in such capable and caring and responsive hands. They made a big effort to help her settle and adjust to her move and now she feels like part of a family and is treated as such. The care team are fantastic and genuinely caring. Couldn't recommend more.

Prior to my mother coming to live at Temple Grove I lived with a level of constant anxiety that something concerning her health or care would need my assistance. Since living here, I feel so supported by all the staff. They look after my mother's every needs and I walk away reassured that she is safe and properly cared for. The staff keep me fully informed and both my brother and I are so pleased we chose Temple Grove.
Many thanks for your kind words, which are greatly appreciated. It's lovely to hear that you have peace of mind with your mother in our care, thank you.

My wife was diagnosed with Alzheimers four years ago and, after several falls which left her severly disabled, she was welcomed as a resident of this care home some 2 months ago. My answers to the review reflect the opinions of both me and my wife but also our 3 children. Everyone is delighted with the home, its staff and surroundings and the way in which my wife has been smoothly integrated into this new way of life. Temple Grove fully justifies its outstanding rating.
Thank you so much to you and your whole family for such a generous review, we are thrilled she has settled so well.

My mother has been at Temple Grove for 3.5 years. She is very happy there, enjoys chatting with the staff and I am delighted with the care and support she receives. She loves her room that looks out onto the garden and watching the wildlife. I am impressed by the friendly welcome from reception, unit staff, senior management and all you pass in the corridors. Being privately owned, Temple Grove has a personal feel with the owner Mark being a visible presence and taking a personal interest. The Activities Team work very hard and provide a packed programme. The level of care is first class and I am contacted/updated if my mother has any health issues. Once, when looking to discharge, hospital staff were surprised at how keen Temple Grove was to have my mother back. Another time, an ambulance crew said that they had never experienced such a range of tests/checks pre-arrival and thorough handover from a care home. It is reassuring to know that my mother is being cared for so well.
It's lovely to hear that your mother is so happy, she is a much loved member of the community. I will pass on your kind words to all the staff who will be delighted to hear you value their hard work. Thank you also for passing on the feedback from external bodies, its always very helpful to hear their comments as well. Many thanks Mark
