My sister has been in respite care at The Limes since mid July 2026 and has now decided to stay permanently as in her words 'I like it here, the staff care about me, the food is good and lots of it and I feel safe'. The care provision and care staff are amazing and there has been good communication between us, whilst supporting my sister. Thank you, The Limes, for helping give my sister a settled, safe and secure future.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are delighted to hear that your sister has settled so well at The Limes and feels safe, cared for and happy with the food. It is wonderful to know that our team has supported her transition from respite care to a permanent home and kept you well informed throughout.

I love this care home. My mother-in-law is well cared for. The staff are amazing: caring and considerate. There are regular check ins to see how she is and they stop and chat to her. The food is great and she eats everything. Tea, coffee and biscuits are available for both residents and visitors. I spent 6 to 9 hours per day in the care home visiting my mother-in-law and I loved being there with her and in the company of the staff. How lucky are we to have such a great facility so close to where she used to actually live and so therefore familiar to her. She is very settled at a difficult time for her.
Thank you for such wonderful feedback. We are so pleased to hear that your mother-in-law is settled, well cared for and enjoying her meals and time with our team. It is lovely to know that you and your family feel so welcome and comfortable at the home.

The difficult decision to put my brother in law into care made by his brother and the social work assessment team was made a lot easier due the care and kindness of the staff at The Limes. The assistant manager was wonderful with my brother in law and with ourselves. To come and be with his wife is wonderful. After over 50 years of marriage to be back together again is absolutely fantastic.
Thank you for your heartfelt feedback. We are pleased that the kindness and care shown by our team at The Limes helped make such a difficult decision easier for your family. It is truly wonderful to know that your brother-in-law can now enjoy precious time with his wife after more than 50 years of marriage.

My mother is well cared for, clean & well fed. She took a while to settle in but she had been living on her own since widowed and had always been happy in her own company.

Thank you for your kind feedback. We are pleased to hear that your mother has settled in well and is now enjoying time with fellow residents. It is lovely to know she is happy when you visit and that you find our team so kind, friendly and supportive.
My husband is in the dementia unit. He has settled in and seems happy and some carers are very good but some don't interact with the residents.

My husband is in the dementia unit. He has settled in and seems happy and some carers are very good but some don't interact with the residents. It needs a lot of TLC and the gardens are awful and not nice to sit in. The dining floor and tables are sometimes dirty when I visit him. The dementia unit seems to be forgotten and nothing happens in the afternoon they all fall asleep. I think lack of staff is a lot of the problem.

My mother has alzheimers and sundowning. She was in the Limes and as soon as she was put in the residential side the manager decided she wanted her into the dementia unit. After a few falls she was taken to hospital, luckily no broken bones just bruising. Once in the hospital, even though her physical and mental health had not changed they refused to take her back. Now she is in hospital without a place to go. The doctor had prescribed her some calming medication but they hadn't started giving it to her. I feel my mother has been profoundly let down by the management of the Limes. The carers who actually took care of my mother were so lovely. Very caring and understanding of her needs. I feel that it's the managing side of the care home that has failed her. It's so sad and upsetting.
We would welcome the opportunity to speak with you further and discuss the points you raised
We look forward to hearing back from you .

Your website may say a different picture to what I witnessed today, you images picture a perfect setting. Which is far from reality, absolutely a disgrace, agency carers which don't even have the key code to access the recreational area, is a disgrace, the conditions they are living in, is appallingly poor, furniture from the 1960s even a charity shop would not engage in taking, 1 member of staff who sat on his bottom in the whole time been there also showing a black eye showed no interaction with patients, and when asked upon to help change a patient his reply was ' I need a break' you been sat on your bottom for 30 minutes, and you need a break, DUTY of care seems a joke, poorly run is an understatement to say the least, was told by 1 member of staff when I asked to use the toilet was replied with' don't use them there disgusting' which I was escorted to some toilet I would not let a dog in, the whole recreational area just stunk of stale urine, no fresh air nothing, awful place

My husbands care has been quite good, pro-active for calling for extra medical care is good. I have on one occasion found his room to be below par regarding cleanliness but the staff are friendly + seem to care very much for Tony's well being.
