Lime Court is a 44-bed care home, including four double rooms, spread over two floors, with lift access and five separate themed lounges. The home specialises in dementia and care for elderly people, situated near the seafront and within easy reach of local shops and amenities of Dovercourt.
The home has a six bed private wing with en-suites which was opened in October 2012. The purpose-built care home offers a superb lifestyle for its residents with a reputation in the community for the warmth of the staff and the care provided.
Lime Court are very proud that it was the pilot for the Food First programme, which alleviates the need of medicated supplements. Residents enjoy their meals in a well-lit, spacious central dining room, and menus are tailored to residents requests. Feedback is sought from residents about any changes.
A central recreational courtyard area (accessible by wheelchair users), with raised beds, is enjoyed by residents and families, along with a side garden and large patio area. Together, staff, family and friends have created a reminiscence lounge with items from the early 1900's to present day.
The care home receives regular visits from hairdressers, opticians, chiropodists and a therapist who offers massages in a sensory room. A full time activity coordinator arranges activities which include regular outings to local attractions, live entertainment, knitting clubs, card clubs, bingo, pet therapy, plus many more. If there are specific requests for activities these are accommodated.

I was unable to see my stepmother because of the Corona Virus, but I was kept informed of everything and I know she was well cared for, right to the end. Lovely caring staff. My brother went with my stepmother when she went into Lime Court and he was shown everything, even had a lovely meal there to welcome her into the home.
Thank you, A P, for these kind words. It has indeed been a very tough year, I am so pleased that you feel that you were fully updated and supported.

The pandemic has been extremely tough but they all smile through and really step up.
Dear Stacey, Thank you for these lovely words. To read such lovely comments makes me very proud.
When my mother went into Lime Court she was underweight and very unhappy. Within the 2 and a half years she lived at Lime Court my mother was given a new lease of life thanks to all the staff within the care home.

When my mother went into Lime Court she was underweight and very unhappy. Within the 2 and a half years she lived at Lime Court my mother was given a new lease of life thanks to all the staff within the care home. She became a very happy person and she put on weight, looking like the mother I knew again. Within Lime Court, she was able to join in with many activities as there were always many activities going on within the home, which was also wonderful to see, and when visiting my mother I was always welcomed and able to join in with the activities too. Along with this when me and my daughter visited my mother we were always made welcome by the staff they were very friendly and be happy to see us as we would happily spend the time with my mother and the other residents within the home.
Thank you, Karen, for your kind words. Mum had such a great time and we loved seeing this, always the first one on the dance floor.
Whenever I visit my brother-in-law the staff are very friendly and helpful. All the rooms are spotless and I am very impressed with the security.

I am pleased my friend is safe and well looked after by such a great staff, even though his health is so poor.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this. We strive to make our residents feel at home.
I cannot praise the home enough. My Grandparent has been so well cared for. The staff are lovely and always on hand for any concerns. The home is very clean and residents are treated with dignity and respect.

Dear Michela, Thank you for these lovely words. The team at Lime Court strive to ensure that our residents are treated with the utmost care and dignity.
Although my dad was in Lime Court for a very short time the kindness, care and consideration that all staff had with my dad was exceptional, the deputy made the transition from hospital to the home as painless as possible.

Having been a visitor for more than 13 years to various ladies and gentleman I think it is now so very friendly and understanding of each individual needs. Having 3 or 4 rooms available to use, it has made visiting so much easier, nice to have a quiet room to chat to residents. The food looks great...
Thrilled to see the 3 people we visit so happy and content. Thank you.
All members of staff have been very compassionate in helping her and family members have been made very welcome.

My mother has been taken care of since May 2015. I cannot praise the staff of Lime Court enough. They are so kind and caring and look after Mum so well, even though they are very busy. She has been hospitalised twice and both times her health deteriorated. As soon as she was back in Lime Court she was happy and within a week she was back to her old self. Mum has dementia so looking after her can be trying at times, but the staff are absolutely brilliant with her. Also to my father who was there for a few weeks before he passed away.
Very friendly and caring staff.

Staff very caring and helpful - nothing too much trouble. The only comment I would make is concerning the floors of the 4 toilets on the ground floor.

Staff very caring and helpful - nothing too much trouble. The only comment I would make is concerning the floors of the 4 toilets on the ground floor. I often find the floors wet with urine when I have accompanied my Aunt. Floors could be monitored to ensure they are kept in a sanitary condition. Also, there are no bins in 2 of the toilets to dispose of used hand towels.
I came to Lime Court expecting nothing but I have found it to be a wonderful place.

My Mother (86) has now been resident in Lime Court for 2 years the care, consideration and compassion that she has received has been first class. Mum enjoys the day to day engagement with the staff and Seniors who always make time for a chat, to get a coffee or attend to her needs. I highly recommend Lime Court as a safe, friendly and welcoming environment for any older person requiring a care home.
For family members worried about the move of their loved one from home into a care home I can assure you that the time invested by the Management of Lime Court and the level of detail that they require from you makes a troubling time very easy, they really get to know and understand the resident, their likes and dislikes, their background and history and are available to discuss and answer any concerns or issues that you may have.
Having had previous experience of other care homes I believe that Lime Court is what they should all be measured against and aspire to be. It is first class.
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
