We have had a very positive experience with all aspects of Temple Grove since our mother moved in, in September. She has been made to feel very welcome and every staff member has gone out of their way to make her feel comfortable, relaxed and a member of the community at T.G. She is greeted by name
whenever she passes anyone in corridors or communal areas and is treated with respect. We would highly recommend Temple Grove to friends and family.

My father is currently a resident at Temple Grove. The care he is receiving there is nothing short of brilliant. We had a difficult time convincing him he needed to move somewhere for full time care, but as soon as he moved to Temple Grove he loved it. The staff and all involved running it are
amazing, kind and caring people. They keep myself and our family updated regularly about Dad, with everything from his medical needs to what he has been doing. Him being there has made our lives a lot easier knowing he is somewhere that he's properly looked after by trustworthy people.

My Mum has been in Temple Gove now for about 6 months. She could not be happier. My sister and I can see a real difference. The staff have been lovely to us, always smiling and chatting. They are all a real credit to the caring profession.
A post Christmas lunch for 7 of us was carefully laid
out in the dinning room. We were not rushed and it was delight to have my Mum at a dining table for a couple of hours. I cannot remember the last time that happened.
On the medical side Temple Grove have taken away all the stress and anxiety relating to Doctor and Hospital stays. This has allowed my sister and I to be her children again, not her carers. Thank You.

My mother has been living at Temple Grove for nearly 2 years. She has received excellent personalised care during this time and the staff have always kept me informed about her condition and any treatment required. She is very settled and content in this home and the care staff are attentive to her
needs. There seem to be a lot of activities provided for residents but my mother has not been keen to participate. I visit once a month and often book to have lunch in the dining room with my mother. When making these bookings, the information has not always been passed on from the reception staff to the catering and care staff, which at times has meant that my mother was not ready to go to the dining room or that a table had not been prepared for us. On these occasions, both the care and catering staff have always been quick to accommodate us at short notice, however I think that there is room for improvement in the internal communications between admin, finance, care and catering staff.

My husband with Alzheimers/Dementia came to Temple Grove in January 2025, following my looking after him for two years at home. I have total peace of mind that he has the best care here. The staff in his unit and all at Temple Grove are Compassionate, incredibly kind, very professional with no
corners cut. I did visit perhaps five others beforehand but on my first visit to Temple Grove I knew this was Perfect!

My father has been at Temple Grove Care Home for nearly a year and has received exceptional care. The staff have been incredible; they genuinely care about the residents. The home is absolutely beautiful and spotless! My dad's room has a lovely vista over the garden. There is entertainment every day
in the communal areas and lots going on. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Temple Grove. My father is so happy there and we are happy that he is safe and being cared for so well.

Mum has several medical issues which are going to result in end of life care. She has had several awful trips into hospital recently and her condition worsened. Due to the comfort and care she has received at Temple
Grove she is now improving daily. This is due to attentive and reactionary staff,
balanced nutritional meals that are home cooked and appetising.
The staff have put us as a family at ease. We were struggling to cope with her at home, and this has been a weight lifted so we can now concentrate on the nicer things with mum. We know that her time is limited but have faith in the processes put in place that Temple Grove and their staff will manage much of this on our behalf.
The staff are all kind, considerate and friendly and l would gladly recommend anyone needing care to check in .

My husband has been a Temple Grove resident now for two months, after a difficult year of us trying to cope at home with the effects of a variety of health issues as well as the early stage of vascular dementia. I have been greatly assured as to the quality of care he is receiving, delivered with
infinite care and attention to detail - and good humour. Wherever we go at Temple Grove, we are greeted by name and a smile, it makes such a difference. Everything I have experienced so far at Temple Grove speaks highly of their approach to Residential Care and is clearly reflected in staff training.

I am next of kin for my elderly aunt and after a few years of resistance, worsening dementia several falls she agreed to go for some respite care. The manager made the whole process so much less stressful and when she and the staff visited my aunt they were wonderful with her. She has now been at
Temple Grove for 4 weeks which has flown by and has become a fully-fledged long-term resident. Every contact I have had with the team, special shout out to the staff member, has been friendly and lovely. My Aunt is so much brighter and happier. Thanks guys for your support and making it a great transition for my Aunt. I can't speak highly enough of Temple Grove. We are thrilled.

My mother was a long-term resident in Temple Grove. Throughout her eight years she came to be a friend of many members of staff. In the earlier years she enjoyed the activities, in her later years, she was cared for with incredible devotion and skill. We have been so comforted by the knowledge that
she being looked after so well. I thoroughly recommend Temple Grove.

Could not have asked for more. Was used for the final few weeks of my father's life and could not have been more impressed. Lovely staff - who seemed genuinely to care, something you soon discover is not the case everywhere - as well as excellent facilities.
07 August 2024
Exceptional home, grounds and conditions.
Food and staff amazing. They fully engage residents and family. Good value for money.

At first glance, it might appear that I have completed this review without too much thought. That is not the case.
I have been visiting for eight months, I have not found anything that I have needed to bring to anyone's attention - it really is that good.
A very big plus is the continuity of
having permanent staff.

I placed my aunt at Temple Grove following a recommendation by the manager of a local care home because she needed 24-hour nursing and care following a stay in hospital for pneumonia. The overall package of care provided by the staff at Temple Grove was excellent from the admin staff, the care and
nursing staff, led from the top by the two owners. My aunt enjoyed her end-of-life care at Temple Grove, which ended today as she passed away with my wife and I at her bedside.

Excellent. Temple Grove has a very caring and solicitous staff, very professional, and always respectful. Importantly they are proactive, identifying potential issues and concerns and discussing them with us. Our parent's care is clearly the top priority for them. Although frequently busy, they
always have time for my parents and have provided companionship as well as professional care. We have both parents in care, both in their mid-90s - frail but competent. In many ways, this presents different challenges from other residents, but Temple Grove has risen splendidly to the challenge, for example supplementing their many social activities with personalised excursions such as local outings for tea or to visit local sights (all with support/supervision of course). Care homes are expensive; but as we have seen the level of attentiveness and care our parents have received, we do not begrudge the cost.

Very pleased with all aspects. All staff very helpful. Plenty of activities available. My family and friends welcomed my visits.

When finally deciding to place my son in a nursing home we visited Temple Grove and we were very impressed and felt very reassured that he would be safe and happy and that his care was of the greatest importance to the home as it is to us. He has settled in well by being made to feel welcome and
included the same as we are when we come to visit him. Going forward we feel the home can accommodate all of his needs now and as his condition progresses.

As with any move from private homes to nursing homes, this can be challenging and we were concerned as to how my mother would cope. From the first day that my mother arrived everyone has been lovely to her. She has been made very welcome and has become very comfortable in the home environment. I
would especially like to mention the person who has taken mum out on trips and done all he can to help her. Thank you.
20 February 2024
Temple Grove is such a wonderful place for Mum. She settled in immediately and the staff are genuinely kind, compassionate and care so much. I don't worry one bit and know when I'm not around she has fun and so well cared for. I could not recommend this home highly enough.
14 February 2024
My mother-in-law was becoming increasingly frail and in need of respite care. Her home was 150 miles from us, totally unsuited for her needs and her husband was no longer able to give much assistance. My daughter did a lot of research into local care homes and was impressed with Temple Grove. We
were shown around by the Welfare Officer, an amazing ambassador. Everyone we met was warm, friendly and genuinely welcoming. The facilities and rooms were spotless and delightful. We moved her into Temple Grove in late January and she settled in very quickly. Her room was bright, spacious, well-appointed and overlooked delightful gardens. Sadly, within a few short days, her health took a major turn for the worse and we lost her shortly after. All of the Temple Grove team were caring gentle and kind throughout this period. We can't give enough praise for the home and its team, simply outstanding. Thank you everyone.
