My sister seems very happy and settled here. She looks well and better than she did before. She always speaks highly of the staff and is taking part in the craft activities. She also looks forward to her days out. Thank you for the garden party.

My friend has been at Temple Grove since January 2020. She has always been very well cared for. Each and every member of staff that we have had contact with have been very helpful, pleasant and caring, particularly through this pandemic.

More like a hotel. Lovely staff. Nothing seemed to be of any bother. Helpful in so many ways. I shall be back for respite after my knee operation.

My mother has been a resident at Temple Grove since November 2017 and throughout this period has been well looked after. The staff are very professional and have always been welcoming on any visit. The care home is very well run and is very good at communicating. The last 12 months have been extremely challenging but throughout, everyone has done their best to make Mum feel safe and secure. The regular FaceTime calls have been dealt with efficiently. We look forward to being able to visit on a regular basis before too long.

It’s very reassuring to know she’s in such a safe and caring environment in these difficult times, and my stepmother also has nothing but praise for the staff that care for her.

I have visited on many occasions to see my mum and have always enjoyed my time. I cannot speak highly enough of the dignity, care and respect my mum receives. My mum is very happy here, and if she is - I am too; it gives me great peace of mind!

My mother has been a resident at Temple Grove since 2014. She moved there with my father - we chose this home as they were happy to take both parents with their very different needs. Mum had a stroke and was physically disabled and lost her speech, and my father had Alzheimer’s. Dad sadly died a couple of years ago. We have been very happy with our choice; the staff are wonderful and really care about their patients. It has been particularly reassuring recently during the various lockdowns to know that Mum has been so well looked after with her emotional needs being met with grace, humour and dignity, as well as receiving all the medical care she needs.

My wife has advanced Alzheimer's, and the care she receives is second to none. She is treated with the utmost respect and dignity.
I could not wish for a better environment under very difficult circumstance's.

My mother was moved into Temple Grove in October 2020 and has been looked after with great care and professionalism during this terrible time. It is likely she will remain a resident, and we are very happy that she is in their care.

Since my daughter moved into Temple Grove last July, she has received nothing but exceptional care, consideration and friendship from the nursing and care staff. Her general health and wellbeing have improved considerably. She has very complex needs due to her condition and can only be moved using specialist equipment, which has been carried out with dignity and care. The food is good, and it seems that nothing is too much trouble for the kitchen staff. Since my daughter entered the home during the lockdown, we have not been able to visit her as much as we would have liked, but she seems quite satisfied with the cleanliness and attention to detail by all the staff. They have assisted her in using her iPad and Skype us, which was something very new to her. She is also able to telephone us on a daily basis using the home's landline.

Mum has dementia and can no longer walk, she is very dependent on 24/7 care. She is very well looked after and remains cheerful and well, despite the awful difficulties of lockdown.
The management and the staff have been absolutely brilliant in keeping Mum safe. The home has been largely free of Covid-19 infection - an extraordinary achievement, compared with many other care homes, and we are so thankful for this.
The home has a very good record of staff recruitment and retention, and all of the staff really do care about all of their residents. Our family can thoroughly recommend Temple Grove.

My grandmother has been a resident of Temple Grove Care Home for the last five years, and in all that time, I can only say that her care has been exemplary. All the staff have been excellent, especially in the trouble times with Covid-19, and the care she has received is second to none.

Temple Grove has consistently provided the highest quality of care for my father since mid-2018. The staff have remained largely the same over this period, which enables them to understand in depth the needs of the patients and develop strong relationships. The home is in a beautiful and peaceful setting, very well maintained and good food. Throughout the time of Covid, Temple Grove has provided regular updates and has facilitated weekly Skype calls with me and my father. I highly recommend Temple Grove, and I am very grateful to them for the care provided to my father.

Temple Grove has over the last couple of years provided absolutely brilliant care for my parents. The staff have been extremely efficient, friendly and helpful both to my parents and to our family. An amazing effort over the last 12-months to keep the place Covid free. Nothing has ever been too much. Great atmosphere, great staff and really superb nursing care when it is required. I would happily recommend Temple Grove to anybody looking for residential care. Staff turnover is extremely low, with few, if any, agency staff. Whether management, nursing, cleaning or catering remarkably high standards!
Thank you so much for taking the trouble to submit a review.
Without exception, we have found the staff to be caring, compassionate and professional. This includes medical observations, activity provision, personal hygiene and high quality of food provision. In addition, we, as a family, have had the support and understanding from the staff and management,...
Temple Grove is set on unique grounds giving peace, tranquillity and the beauty of nature which can be viewed from my husband's room.
Communication is excellent from all quarters of staffing.

My mother has been a very happy resident at Temple Grove for the last two years. Now, aged 100-years a birthday, which she celebrated during the lockdown without her family, but caringly celebrated with the staff of the home. A lovely birthday cake was made for her, and she certainly will remember...
The staff from carers to handyman, cooks, entertainment girls and management are always kind and efficient. Every special request she has is handled with care, and every effort is made to provide quickly.
The rooms are spacious, and in my mother's case, furnished with her own possessions. The country position and accessible gardens are lovely. There are always a lot of birds to watch, and on one occasion, a deer.
There is a good relationship with the local surgery.
Altogether, my mother and her family are completely happy with her care and cannot recommend the home highly enough.
Thank you so much for taking the trouble to submit a review.
