Limegrove

Overall the help is beyond our hopes for mum's safety and comfort. Thank you to all who make this a comfort to us as a family.

My mother in law was recently moved to Limegrove. The staff are helpful, friendly and attentive, my mother in law was so low in mood before her move, she is now happy and engaging and always comments on how lovely the staff are. Every time I visit she is happy, the staff are always polite and respectful. We are so happy to have her there.

When my brother first moved into Limegrove it was only supposed to be temporary because he wanted a flat on his own but with the care he received there he soon decided he wanted to be there permanently.

Limegrove Care Home is literally home. From our first day there we were met by friendly faces and calm reassuring help. Everyone introduced themselves and explained their role. Nothing is too much trouble for them to ensure residents are happy and comfortable. The food is delicious and plentiful with lots of choice. The rooms and en-suites are clean and comfortable. The bedrooms are small but adequate. This is only the first week here but my friend already feels this is her home and I am so happy and relieved.

Mum recently moved to Limegrove and we have been blown away by the quality of care, kindness and attention to detail that she has been given. Mum is 94, has Alzheimer's and very poor mobility. All the staff understood Mum's needs from the moment she arrived and she has settled in incredibly quickly. There is very much a family feel and everyone is so kind, thoughtful and attentive. The quality and choice of food is excellent and Mum has her own tailored meals resulting in her having food she loves and a much more balanced diet. Limegrove is well designed and its 'fit for purpose' infrastructure is very clean and well maintained. I don't normally write reviews but it has been such a relief for us to have our mum looked after in such a lovely place. After visiting several care homes locally, Limegrove was definitely the right choice for us.

Amazing staff and facilities consistently going the extra mile to keep the residents happy and healthy, my mother seems very at home and happy, having seen many other homes this one is by far the best and outstanding!!

We cannot thank everyone at Limegrove Care Home enough for the wonderful care they gave to our grandad. From the moment he arrived, the team made him feel comfortable, valued and truly at home. The staff are absolutely amazing - kind, friendly, patient and always so welcoming. They would always offer us tea, along with biscuits/cakes. It created such a homely, comforting atmosphere and meant so much to our whole family. What really stood out was how much time the staff took to get to know our grandad as a person - his routines, his stories, and the little things that made him happy. That personal touch gave us enormous peace of mind knowing he wasn't just being cared for, but genuinely understood and cherished. The activities organised for residents were brilliant; there was always something happening, and it was clear how much effort and thought went into them. Overall, the entire team at Limegrove are outstanding. Their dedication, compassion and professionalism are beyond words.

To anyone contemplating the move for a loved one, I strongly recommend Limegrove. The food is super (the menu determined by residents), the rooms are pleasant & Mum has made some lovely new friends. The move has been a major change for her & for our family, but I am completely certain that she is in the best place possible for her at this stage of life.

We have been so blessed that our dad could live here. I have seen many care homes through my work and I've been blown away by the standard of care. They looked after him so well physically and also emotionally and as he approached his last days gave him better care than a hospice, constantly and thoughtfully checking that he was alright and that we had everything that we wanted while we sat with him, whilst still providing the planned entertainment for the other residents. Despite his dementia being advanced, over the last few months they found things that would work for him and recognised him as an individual with a history and a wealth of experiences. Carers even came to pay their respects and say goodbye after he'd died. There is such a feeling of family and of the importance of everybody being valued and supported. It is a one in a million home

Since a dear friend became a patient at Limegrove, I have always been amazed by the kindness and care she and all others inmates receive from all the staff. There are so many activities and drinks offered and friends are always included if appropriate. We also receive a great welcome from all staff, particularly at reception and there my friend 'house'. If one had to go into care, they is certainly the best home I have experienced.

Everyone took the time to get to know Pat and to support her to keep her independence as much as possible, that has meant a lot to her and I know she won't hesitate to recommend you to anyone. She is always concerned about whether she would be able to have gluten free food options and she was chuffed to know that the chef was personally arranging her meal choices! The experience has been such a good one that we know if the time comes for Pat to move out of her home, that Limegrove will be hers and our first choice.

I am very pleased with the care my mother receives at Limegrove. The staff are kind and attentive and my mother tells us this regularly. I live in Scotland and phone my mother every week and staff take the phone to her. Family are always welcomed and make us an extension to the Limegrove family. We as a family are happy that mum is well cared for and is happy at Limegrove. She has settled in well and we no longer have to worry.

The staff at Limegrove were very helpful when we told them that our mum wasn't happy in her unit as she was having problems with another resident. We gave it some time, but the situation didn't improve. After a review meeting, it was decided that mum should move to another unit. This was dealt with very quickly and efficiently, and I'm pleased to say that mum is much happier now. My siblings and I are very happy that our mum is a resident at Limegrove. The staff are very caring and answer questions to our satisfaction.

On my last review I mentioned I was concerned mum was getting a balanced diet, being vegetarian it is sometimes difficult to get a balanced diet, but since that review a huge effort has been made, providing mum with a healthy diet that she will eat, she is now having more variety of healthy balanced meals. Thank you for your quick response. All the staff are amazing at Limegrove, but mum has asked me to mention 3 carers that have gone beyond the normal care, and make mum's days happier in so many ways I know it says no names but hopeful you'll forgive mentioning some members of staff.

I came to Limegrove as a resident to settle my husband in who will be staying there permanently as he has dementia and Alzheimer's. I stayed 6 weeks and cannot praise the home more highly, particularly for their compassion and kindness and efficiency.

Thank you, to all the staff.

My father has settled in well over the last 4 months and the standard of care has been excellent. I feel there is a good level of staff, who are attentive, kind and positive. My father has had a couple of medical incidents since he arrived, which are to be expected from someone of his age, and I have been very reassured by the adherence of all the staff to what appear to me (as a non-expert but very interested party!) to be clear, comprehensive and effective protocols/ procedures. Furthermore, the level of communication from the staff has been very positive and reassuring for me. I am happy to recommend Limegrove without reservation.

The home is well maintained, the staff are excellent and my mother is happy and well supported; what else is matters?

Thank you to all the staff who worked so hard to create a lovely family lunch for my mum, myself and my cousins who had travelled to see Mum. Mum really enjoyed it, lunch was very nice and great care was taken to give my Mum a 'dining out' experience. Thank you.

On the whole, Limegrove is a comfortable home, and residents are looked after well. I find the rooms to be on the small side compared to other homes but comfortable, just not enough room for them to have a visitor or a few more personal belongings. It would be nice to have a lounge with a little light background music, instead of the TV on and most people falling asleep, as I find it difficult to talk unless one moves into the dining room. The staff do their best for which I'm very grateful.
