My Dad has been at the Limes for two years now.
He has mild dementia, so is not in the dementia unit.
I visit at least every other day and I am very impressed by every single member of staff. Everyone knows me, greets me by name, and they treat all the residents with respect, incredible patience,
care and all as individuals - adapting their approach appropriately.
The staff respond to needs, requests and worries with speed, care - and tolerance when required. They are very supportive of relatives too - and friendly.
I receive updates of even very minor health issues.
There are varied activities and social events for families and residents plus resident/family meetings all of which are well advertised.
I chose The Limes which requires travelling for over an hour a visit, as I considered the level of care much higher than several closer alternatives. I am so pleased I did.
THANK YOU to all the staff at the Limes - you are amazing. I couldn't do it - that's what Dad is with you!

I find the staff so caring and professional. They are genuinely interested in the residents. We were stunned to know our 100 year old mother is a good artist doing many paintings! The birthday party The Limes put on for mother and the family made a great day for us all. Thank you so much for all you
do.

My Mum and Dad have been at The Limes for four years, and I recognise over that time there have been many challenges. I have always found that my parents' care is excellent and the staff have been incredibly supportive involving us in key decisions and keeping us up to date.
All staff have been friendly
and get on well with my parents and the family. There have been several management changes and I think some stability going forward will be helpful. The facilities and personal rooms need decorating and this is beginning to happen. Most important is the care and culture of the home, and I cannot fault this, my parents are safe, treated with respect and valued as individuals. A massive thank you to all staff, it means so much to me that they are well cared for.
Reply from Jackie Brook, Business Development at The LimesThank you so much for your thoughtful review and kind words about The Limes. We're delighted to hear that your parents have received excellent care over the years and that our staff have been supportive and communicative. We appreciate your feedback about stability and decorating, and we're committed to making improvements. Most importantly, we're glad to know your parents feel safe, respected, and valued. Thank you for your trust in us and for acknowledging our team's dedication.

I am very happy with the care my Nanna is receiving from the staff and how they are on top of any health issues that arise. I am kept up to date with everything and the staff are always polite and friendly. My Nanna is very happy and feels safe/well looked after, she has a good variety of food provided
which always smells delicious when I visit. The home is clean and well looked after. I would definitely recommend The Limes.

My dad was really happy at The Limes, all the staff were really friendly and professional at all times, the food was excellent. My dad went to Limes last October not expecting to live more than a couple of months but with their care and attention he has moved out and into semi-independent living again,
I attribute this to all the staff and the lovely atmosphere of the home. I would recommend The Limes to anybody.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.648)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.648) out of 10 for The Limes is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.648 for The Limes is calculated as follows: ( (211 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 298 Ratings = 4.648
  2. 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 The Limes is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 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 97 registered maximum number of service users is 19.4, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
