About Taymer Nursing Home
Taymer Nursing Home is a nursing home in Silsoe, Central Bedfordshire. We care for older people who need nursing support, people living with dementia and people living with a physical disability, and we offer respite stays alongside longer term places. Skilled nursing on site means health needs are looked after here, quietly and properly, so nobody has to move on because their condition has changed. It also means changes are noticed early, which more often than not keeps someone out of hospital. With that side of things handled, the rest of the day belongs to the person living it. We try to keep life recognisable. People choose their own hours, their own company and how much they want to join in. Personal care is unhurried and private. For those living with dementia, familiar staff and a steady rhythm do more good than anything else we could offer, so we ask families to tell us about the person they knew, their work, their habits, the things that always mattered. That knowledge helps us make sense of what we see now. Relatives are welcome whenever it suits them, and we would rather hear a worry early than have it grow. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you are looking at nursing care in Silsoe or the surrounding area, please arrange to visit and see the home for yourself.
