I was very apprehensive of what my stay in the re-hab department of this care home was going to be like, having never experienced anything like this before. I have to say now I don't know what I was worrying about. Every member of staff, from management to housekeeping, were so nice and friendly and
above all very professional. As for the frontline carers and nursing staff, they were outstanding. They made you feel cared for, however minor your request may have been.

My aunt has spent the last six weeks having rehabilitation at Taymer following several weeks in hospital after suffering a major fall in her home. During her stay, the staff have helped her in a firm, compassionate manner on the pathway to improved mobility. The management and support staff have always
been helpful to the family, especially in helping them when they were struggling to see a practical way forwards after the rehabilitation process. The home has demonstrated what can be achieved by a well-motivated team that appears to be enjoying the task of caring for vulnerable older members of society.

The matron and staff always make us feel very welcome when we visit my mother virtually every day.
Nothing has ever been too much trouble and they have, in part, helped our family through a very stressful time in our lives. The nursing care is absolutely wonderful and my mother is now able to welcome
visitors to what has, essentially, become her home over the past 18 months.

Staff are very friendly and kind. Good home cooked food.


Bed linen left a little to be desired, but my husband was treated and cared for well and felt as if he was safe. I too felt he was safe, secure and treated with respect and dignity. The activity programme was varied each day.

I came here on a hunt for a non-weight baring bed from hospital. The treatment I received on arrival was fantastic. Everyone was kind and helpful. I was here for 109 days and the treatment I received was fantastic.
The food has been great and I've had lots of cups of tea. I could not think of a better
place to start my rehabilitation.

My father has now been a permanent resident for almost two years. He is generally well looked after and has formed a bond with several members of staff. As visitors, we are always made to feel welcome by staff.
Because he is so well looked after, we fell reassured that he is in capable hands.
Staff
do a great job in sometimes difficult circumstances. Thank you to you all.

My father-in-law is 100% reliant on staff's care as he cannot do anything for himself, he is normally very happy and very appreciative of all that the staff do for him.
The peace of mind that he is looked after so well, is much appreciated by my wife and I, and allows us to lead as normal life as possible.
Thanks one and all, Taymer you do a wonderful job.

I was sent to Taymer Nursing Home from hospital for rehab, only as an NHS patient but was very satisfied with the care assistance also treatment by physiotherapists and assistants. The "home" menus were varied with choices and one could ask for another dish if they wished. Staff always polite and accommodating.

My mum has only been in Taymer for 3 months and what a difference living in Taymer has made. She is a lot happier and healthier. The staff are amazing in all ways, always ready to help mum in any way she needs. The place is very friendly and homely, the food is an exceptionally high standard. I can't
emphasise enough how good a place Taymer is. I'm so happy we found Taymer for my mum.
5 stars.

My mother entered Taymar for rehab after suffering a severe stroke. She was barely eating, with limited movement and speech. After around nine weeks she had recovered enough to return home. We would like to thank the staff at Taymar, who were always available to meet my mother's needs. The management
and senior staff were always available to assist and answer any concerns we had, as well as help plan a path home for my mother. A special thank you to the manager of the home who is superb (as are all the staff), plus a special thank you to the chef, and also to the carer who specifically looked after my mother in the mornings. We would like to thank you all again, and we would recommend Taymar to anyone, your relatives will be well cared for there.

Home from home. Virtually everyone is happy. They are clearly a strong team with superb management, enrolling perfect staff.
Even when busy and stressed they are still amazing with the residents. Nursing care very good also.
Activities superb, my mum loves the singers. Always something great and varied
going on.
Not only does the activities coordinator organise this but she keeps the wonderful gardens going.

In November 2017 my cousin went into Taymer Care home aged 89 years. This was a huge lifestyle change as she had up to then lived independently with help from her daughter. She has quickly settled into Taymer, helped by the lovely friendly feel it has and wonderful caring staff. There was a really good
programme of events for them over Christmas which my cousin enjoyed taking part in and also New Year celebrations. There is a good menu with freshly prepared meals. This is a really lovely home to be part of. I am a regular visitor to see my cousin and enjoy the time I spent there.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.826)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.826) out of 10 for Taymer Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 45 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.826 for Taymer Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (437 Excellents x 5) + (84 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 524 Ratings = 4.826

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Taymer Nursing Home is based on 45 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 45 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
