Overall Experience

A wonderful, warm and welcoming environment. All of the staff are friendly and helpful. The nursing is outstanding. The home is situated in a quiet area with good countryside views. My mother is eating more at the home than she ever did at home as the food is so well prepared and the chef caters for

each person's likes. I can heartily recommend the home to anyone looking for the 'care' in a care home.

Overall Experience

Very comfortable. Felt at home on this first respite visit for ten days. Lucky to have another resident to chat to daily. The staff are always cheerful and caring, including domestic staff but I have given a satisfactory not excellent rating because they couldn't always respond to my buzzer promptly,

due to dealing with other residents. The buzzer system seemed to be buzzing all day, so more staff would be good. Food is always delicious, well-presented and healthy - e.g fruit snack each morning.

Overall Experience

The staff are on the whole very caring and kind, the food is excellent, communication is good, management and staff find time to update you on what's going on with your relative and listen to anything you have to say or wishes of said relative. They are making a hard time for us all a little easier

for which I am grateful. I would recommend Taymer.

Overall Experience

I've never stayed at one of these places. It's outstanding, the food is the best and you can't get better. Everything is outstanding in every way. If anything was I wouldn't want to go anywhere else. This would be for me. I love it in every way. It's the best place to be. All staff are polite and it

is spotlessly clean. It's just home from home and you can't get any better. Well if I had to be anywhere it would be here, nowhere else. Fantastic, the best.

Overall Experience

Whenever I visit I am always greeted warmly and welcomed. My mum is in the residents' lounge when I visit and I am conscious of how all staff are incredibly respectful and attentive to the residents' needs. I have never had any cause for concern. My mum feels incredibly settled and safe despite her

at times being quite confused. On occasion, when I have had to take hygiene supplies to mum's room, it has always been incredibly neat, clean and tidy. When I leave after visiting, I always feel incredibly reassured and comforted by what I have seen and that she is in very caring and safe hands.

Amazing how the home keep on top of everything. Warm and friendly staff were caring and spoke kindly to the patient when cleaning him up as well as the odd bit of chat at other times, which was friendly and good for stimulation. Some of the ratings are not relevant.

My mum has been here for just over two weeks. She is being very well looked after. The staff are very friendly, kind and helpful. They are very busy but in spite of that still, nothing is too much trouble when you ask them for something.

Overall Experience

Firstly, thank you! We found Taymer at Silsoe to be unlike other care homes that we have experienced. All staff that we met were caring and friendly and the home had a calm and relaxing atmosphere. You gave our friend's mother a comfortable and dignified stay and although she was a dying lady, she was

well looked after until the end. Thanks again.

Overall Experience

From the moment I came out of the hospital transport and was met by the very welcoming manager, I felt I was in safe hands. Every member of staff I met on my trip to my room was smiling and welcoming also. Over the weeks I stayed here for my hip rehab, I could not fault the attentiveness of any of the

staff. Nothing was too much for them. The chef cooked wonderful meals every day. Tea/coffee and biscuits were offered. The support staff were all brilliant as were the cleaners. Fantastic place.

Right from the beginning of my partner's stay, the staff were so welcoming, friendly and kind. They could not do enough for my partner, who was the youngest resident. Anything we requested was found, given and more. The food, cleanliness, facilities and all were great. All the staff on whatever shidt/s

were great. My partner was made more than welcome - thank you all.

Overall Experience

My brother was diagnosed as at 'end-of-life' when he entered Taymer Nursing Home; a nursing home in the village where he had lived for almost fifty years. From the first day he was given full attention, made as comfortable as possible, given great nursing and, most importantly, treated as a human being.

Taymer gave me a sense of relief knowing he was in a happy, comfortable home receiving good care. I was kept updated with his progress, important as I live over three hours away, they were very kind and supportive at his end. I have nothing but praise for all the staff and the way the home is run.

Overall Experience

We regularly visit an old friend who is a resident at Taymer Nursing Home. The care staff and manager are always very welcoming. The care given to our friend is very good - as we notice and she reports to us. She also praises the food! During the covid pandemic, the staff were not officious and did

their best to enable visits. The only regret is that our friend's mobility has decreased significantly. Her room is pleasant with a nice view of the garden - but is quite small.
