Limetree Care Home provides person-centred dementia care in a spacious and homely environment.
Jonathan and the team at Limetree, recognise the importance of ensuring that every resident receives a service that is based on their needs, their preferences, their beliefs, life history and aspirations.
There is great emphasis on building new friendships and maintaining existing relationships. Family and friends are encouraged to become part of the Limetree community and participate in the daily lifestyle activities that take place.
The team is proud to hold the Beacon-status for the Gold Standards Framework. A framework that is all about the resident and their quality of life, where they will try to ensure each resident and their family are helped to be as physically well as possible, to feel safe, informed, reassured of support. To be treated with dignity and respect, as an individual person, and where your views and preferences are sought and acted upon where possible.
The home is currently undergoing a decoration programme which is all centred on consultation with the residents so that Limetree includes what is important to them and it gives them a sense of belonging in their home.
Residents are key to helping select new staff members through their involvement on the recruitment interview process. Residents get to ask potential candidates questions around how they will deliver their care and help them maintain their quality of life.
The home has recently re-focused on the Resident of day model and is using the form ‘This is me’ from the Alzheimer’s Society to help aid this process. The form provides an easy and practical way of recording who the person is; their cultural and family background; events, people and places from their lives.

All the staff are so kind and attentive, Nan had a fall in September 2024 and she broke her hip and since then she has needed extra help and the staff at Limetree have been able to provide this.
Nan can have her hair done by Sue and she carries our sports activities with Martin, all these things she really enjoys.
The home celebrate lots of events and we can come along and enjoy with Nan which is really lovely. The staff make us feel so welcome, I couldn't provide any improvements or recommendations, they honestly couldn't do anything more for Nan. They keep us updated with her care and we have regular calls about her needs and any changes.
The home and nans room is kept so clean and tidy, she is always offered lots of snacks and drinks. Nan is so happy here and we really enjoy coming to visit Nan each week.
Thank you for the wonderful review for Limetree Care Home. It is lovely to hear that you are happy with your nan's home and the care she receives. Thanks again.
