The Limes is situated just a few minutes walk from Stratford-upon-Avon's town centre, There are local services, shops and public transport all within easy reach.
The home offers long-term and respite care for older people in a welcoming and homely environment that is made up of two households. Offering independent living with the benefit of care just a call away, each household includes a lounge, dining space and kitchenette. The hub of the household, the lounges are the ideal space for residents to socialise together or welcome their friends and families.
They also use night-time acoustic monitoring to improve the health and wellbeing of the people living with them.
The team plans a range of activities and events to suit residents' varied interests and hobbies. As part of the activity provision, WCS Care employs dedicated Community Musicians who deliver one-to-one or group music-based activities. And their Memory Maker minibus provides regular, local trips for residents, including those who need to use a wheelchair. They invite relatives to join the trips so families can make new memories together.

My stepmother moved in today. My initial impression is that all the staff are friendly and helpful. With only three hours of being on the premises, I cannot comment on management, food, or activities. Your door entry/exit system leaves a great deal to be desired!

Thank you for leaving a review for us. The new door entry system, that was installed as part of our refurbishment, has had a few glitches and we apologise if this has caused any inconvenience to you. Like all new approaches it sometimes takes a little while to make the necessary adjustments for things to work smoothly, however the team are always on hand to open the door for you when needed.
The process for entering and leaving the building could also be improved.

My mum was a resident for 9 years at The Limes. She passed away in July 2024. She always received excellent care. The staff treated her with love and compassion. The management team were always available for any questions or updates. The home was always clean with no bad odours. Towards the end of her life everyone was very understanding and care from doctors, district nurses, carers was excellent. The company have an open policy on visiting which is a great help. The food is of a high standard and the medication set-up is very good.

Thank you for your review and taking the time to speak to me about your feedback. I'm pleased to hear that you feel the majority of our team are kind, caring and go above and beyond. I was disappointed to hear that you feel one team member comes across in a more negative light. I will be supporting them to reflect on how their approach can be perceived and what they can do differently. And of course, if there's anything else you would like to discuss, please feel free to speak to me or a member of the management team at any time. Kind regards

More variety of food at tea time and more fresh food, particularly fruit would be an improvement.

The staff are excellent - caring, professional, friendly and respectful. The facilities are currently being upgraded and have already improved greatly. Communication is very good so I am aware that there is a plan to upgrade the food. The addition of more fresh fruit and vegetables would be most welcome.
Thank you for your kind words and review. We're incredibly pleased with the recent refurbishment of the home and are looking forward to having our new cafe area. We'll take on board your comments about fruit and vegetables and look at the range we're currently offering.

What is most important is that the staff are very kind and friendly. They work extremely hard to make the residents feel at home, safe and make sure their personal care is a priority. The residents' mental well being is also a priority, with companionship and activities. The staff know everyone's name and take time to know their life stories, likes and dislikes.
What I was most touched by was their care for my Mum during this month of her end of life. They also took time to make sure our family was coping as well.
I cannot recommend The Limes highly enough.
Thank you all for your care. Best wishes.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and for your wonderful feedback - it means a lot. It was our pleasure to care for your Mum and have her, and you, as part of the Limes family. Best wishes.
From day one dad has been made to feel very welcome. The staff are all approachable and very friendly. Fantastic place.

I tend to be a weekly visitor, I find all the staff to be extremely pleasant and friendly and I feel welcome. Telephone communications are dealt with efficiently. My friend's room seems adequate and the common areas seem clean and fulfill requirements. I am usually offered coffee and a biscuit.

The staff have been very helpful and caring with Mum. They always let me know if they have concerns about her. I feel she is well looked after. She has appreciated the outings and activities which have resumed post covid.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us. Activities continue to increase in the home as we re-establish community connections and make new ones and it's lovely to see residents enjoying outings again. Please remember you can always come out with Mum on one of our Memory Maker minibus trips if you'd like to
I cannot fault the care Mum is receiving. All the staff are kind, courteous and have endless patience. I would not hesitate to recommend The Limes to anyone requiring care. Thank you for all you do.

My mother has been at the Limes since February 2020. The care she receives is amazing. Everyone is so lovely and it is so reassuring that we know Mum is getting such outstanding care.

Nan came to the home a few months ago and was very unsettled. The staff have turned this around and have made her so settled and a feeling of home. She is very loved here.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us. We're so pleased to hear your grandmother's settled in well, and I will share your comments with the rest of the team who always like to hear they're making a difference to the lives of our residents. Best wishes.
They looked after my grandmother extremely well and made the last few weeks feel happy and safe. She was very well cared for and finally started to do some activities, such as knitting. Nanny was very well fed and a cup of tea was always available. Fantastic staff and home.

Originally joining as a carer, I've spent the last 10 years developing my career in care at The Limes.
I previously worked in finance in South Africa and trained to be an accountant. However, after returning to the UK, I found myself looking for a new direction. Inspired by the exceptional care my dad received, I decided that I wanted to be a carer and pass on that same reassurance I felt, where I knew a loved one was well looked after.
I believe I've done a good job when I've put someone's mind at rest, and I really enjoy supporting carers to develop the skills needed to deliver great care every day.
