A home of Excellence! If you are looking for a nursing home, where you can be at ease and feel no guilt as a relative, then look no further. This Nursing home is absolutely outstanding and lead by a Manager that deserves an OBE for many years of hard work reflected in the way this home operates. I have been blessed to find a Diamond amongst the rough, with so many horror stories these days. You can 100% relax and know your loved one is in safe, loving and caring hands. My mother enjoys the attention received, not left in a chair to vegetate. The staff keep morale high and ensure everyone is valued. Regular entertainment, mini bar and snack baskets are a real treat and mum enjoys a Baileys in the evening. She has requested to go back several times and this has allowed me the much needed weekends and weeks at a time to rejuvenate. When mum is ready for a permanent place Taymer will be the only choice. I have never experienced such high levels of care and dedication in any home before.

My grandmother visits regularly for respite and I can honestly say, Taymer has created a home away from home for her and other visitors. Naturally, we were worried initially as with any new environment for Gran, but the care and compassion received at this home is phenomenal. The staff are all extremely efficient, caring and very welcoming to all. My grandmother now sees Taymer as a place to visit friends and somewhere new to relax. The manager is extremely knowledgeable and keeps us updated throughout. We feel so lucky to have found Taymer and said manager, as we know Gran is in safe, experienced, loving and respectful hands! Quite frankly, Taymer looks and feels more like a boutique hotel than a care home, with so much thought put in to the services and care offered. I would recommend to anyone and cannot praise them highly enough.

Soon as you walk into the home you are greeted with a smile from someone and with in 5 - 10 minutes of being in there always a cup of tea or coffee waiting for you. Taymer always smells nice and clean, and fresh. The social activities are very good, and residents always look clean and are dressed well.

I found the Taymer Nursing Home to be one of the best. The staff are wonderful, friendly and caring and I am pleased to say that there are enough to go round unlike some places where they are few and far between! I tried to get my husband to stay there but here were no places available but my friend's husband was in the Taymer for nearly 3 years, and he was loved and cared for there.

Following a stroke, my grandma was placed under palliative care and received treatment at Taymer. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for the exceptional care you provided to my grandma and our entire family. As an Indian/Gujarati family, this was our first experience with a family member in a nursing home, and it was also a first for Taymer to care for an Indian/Gujarati resident. I was able to be a granddaughter without compromising my grandma's dignity. The love, care, and support you provided made a significant positive impact on Grandma; I believe it gave her the strength to live a little longer, allowing us an additional 15/16 months with her. During Grandma's end-of-life care, you were incredibly supportive. After she took her last breath, we were allowed to stay with her, along with our large family, for as long as we needed, which was immensely comforting. The staff came to offer their support and pay their final respects to Grandma. This is when you know Taymer is a family.

Our second experience with a family member at this home. Continues to be excellent. The dedication of the staff to support my mother has been superb. No problems in any area of care and support at this excellent home. The manager/Matron, the Cook, the activities co-ordinator, and the support staff have all been extremely helpful and have gone out there way to meet the needs of my elderly mother. Taymer feels like a home from home. I highly recommend this care home. It is worth waiting for a space, if there is no vacancies when you first look.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone at Taymer Care Home for the love, kindness, and dignity you showed our mum during the 15 months she was with you. From the very first day, it was clear that she was not only cared for, but truly cherished. Your patience, compassion, and gentle support brought her comfort in her final days and gave our family reassurance knowing she was surrounded by warmth and respect. We are forever grateful for the dedication and kindness of the entire team at Taymer. You will always remain in our hearts. Thank you for making our mothers time with you so special, and for walking alongside us with such care and understanding. With heartfelt thanks

On behalf of my mother, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone at Taymer Care Home in Silsoe for the outstanding care given to my 92-year-old mother during her recent four-week stay. Following three weeks in hospital recovering from a broken hip and surgery, Mum needed focused rehabilitation-and Taymer delivered that and so much more. In Mum's own words: "The attitude of the staff was exceptional-nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent, the meals were delicious with fresh vegetables. It was perfect. I couldn't fault it." Most importantly, the incredible team at Taymer helped get Mum back on her feet, enabling her to return home safely and continue her recovery with confidence. We are so grateful to the management and every single member of staff for their professionalism, kindness, and unwavering support. With sincere appreciation.

My mother was transferred from Hospital to the Taymer for respite care. My mother and our family found the staff so caring and were always willing to try to accommodate any requests they were given. The food was excellent, and my mother still refers to the home cooked food as delicious! The Taymer holds many different events for the residents always trying to keep everyone's stay there as pleasant as possible. The staff were encouraging and complimentary when my mother was trying to become more agile. We as a family were so glad our mother was placed in the Taymer Nursing home as we felt she was safe and cared for during her stay. We would like to say a big thank you to all the staff and in particularly one member of staff, who always went the extra mile to ensure our mothers stay was the best it could be. Thank you.

During the month spent at Taymer Nursing Home I was always treated with the upmost kindness and respect by all members of staff. The management should be congratulated by the care given by the staff and the way the home is run. I would not hesitate to stay again if the necessity arises. A special mention should go to the chef for the excellent cooking and varied menu.

I would highly recommend Taymer to anybody who needs long-term care or respite, the level of care that my mum received was exemplary. All the staff that work there are incredible and provide such a warm and friendly environment that is able to keep residents and relatives feeling at ease. Having a kitchen onsite with amazing freshly cooked food has made such a big difference in the recovery for my mum, and the quality of the food was outstanding. Thank you to all the staff and the manager for making mum feel at home and taking such good care of her.

Taymer Nursing Home could not be improved in any way whatsoever! It's like a hotel. It would be impossible to find anywhere better with the most incredible staff who couldn't be more friendly, caring and very hard working. I cannot praise it enough!

I would just like to thank the manager and all the staff at the nursing home for the way in which my wife has been looked after. Also, the way I have been treated when visiting. I would recommend this nursing home to anyone. I cannot praise the staff enough, first class.
07 April 2025
Overall I would recommend Taymer. Excellent family atmosphere, staff happy and smiling, though night staff need more staff. En-suites would be more convenient as only 1 shower room in property. Some rooms need brightening up with lighter paintwork. Names of staff on badge should be larger as too small to read.

Taymer Nursing Home was definitely like a second home for my dad. The care, kindness and consideration shown to him was extraordinary. All members of staff treated my dad with dignity at a very difficult time. During my dad's final days, the care home were so kind and helpful to myself and all family members. Nothing was too much trouble! In some of the darkest hours of my life I will be forever grateful to all of the amazing staff. We feel incredibly lucky that Dad was able to have his final days at Taymer!

The Taymer has been caring for our mother for a number of years now.

It is always a pleasure to pop in and she her, we would like to thank all the staff for there continuing care and compassion for our mother.

The management and staff at Taymer couldn't do enough to make my mum's temporary stay more enjoyable. All carers were kind and respectful throughout her stay. In particular, the manager runs "a tight ship" and nothing slips through her attention, excellent. A special shout out to the chefs who provided a good choice of well-prepared food at meal times. My mum has also asked that the night team receive special mention. You made my mum's stay more enjoyable. Thanks.

I still regularly visit the manager at the Taymer Nursing Home even though my mother, who was a resident, is no longer with us. Residents are treated with care dignity and compassion and nothing is too much trouble. You sense the kindness and attention to detail as soon as you walk through the door. The Taymer is a unique establishment filled with love and caring. I'm glad I found the Taymer for my mother and I am grateful that they are still there supporting me beyond my loss and welcome me every time I call in.

I am delighted with the quality of care and kindness shown to my mother at Taymer Nursing Home. The home itself is beautiful with nice surroundings. The staff are attentive. I want to pay particular tribute to the cook, who goes above and beyond the call of duty and also to the manager for her attentive approach.
