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.

Thank you for your lovely review of Limetree. It's good to have someone playing the piano too. Kind regards Celia
They have seen to Mum's needs and helped her. Clean and happy environment. They inform me every time there is something going on with Mum and the home.

Thank you very much for your review of Limetree. It's lovely to hear that your mum is happy. Kind regards.
It was a very pleasant experience. The team members were very welcoming. I happened to stop by to visit an old church member and not only were the team members pleasant it was also a very neat home with a very pleasant smell. And residents were observed to be treated with respect and dignity.

Very helpful staff.
The window in my friend's room is covered with material that you cannot see through so she cannot look at the outside world.

She was not eating and taking her medication was a problem when she was in living on her own aided by carers.
Whilst she has been at Limetree she has gained weight, she engages in activities and talks about what she has done.
Thank you for all your patience, understanding and care. Seeing my mum settled has really given me peace of mind.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are pleased to hear your mum is settled into Limetree Care Home. We will pass on your kind comments to the team.
Excellent service at Limetree respite care. The staff were fantastic: caring, conscientious and good-humoured. It was wonderful to know that our loved-one was in safe hands. He enjoyed his respite stay. Thank you so much for all your hard work and care.

I visit my uncle at Limetree Care Home on a weekly basis, and I’m very much impressed with the home as a whole. Kind staff members who are attentive to my uncle really give me peace of mind. The environment is always tidy and clean, and I usually arrive at the time that they are doing their exercise activities, and my uncle does thoroughly enjoy them.
Thank you so much for your five-star review of Limetree Care Home. It is nice to hear that your uncle enjoys the exercises.
I went to visit a friend recently at this home. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the home, and how respectful and caring the staff are to visitors and the people in the home. Well done to the staff.

With my dad going into Limetree Care Home we were worried about his social interactions because my dad enjoys socialising with his family and friends and getting involved in physical activity. I can definitely say that we did not have to worry whatsoever because my dad has settled so well into Limetree. He gets involved in all the different various types of activities they offer on a daily basis and enjoys all the amazing events they hold throughout the year. The Black History event we recently attended with Dad at Limetree Care Home was amazing and we all enjoyed ourselves and not just my father. I love the family atmosphere within the home and the dedication from the staff warms my heart. We thank all the team members and I would highly recommend Limetree Care Home to any of my friends if they are in search of a top-tier care home.
Carers are really helpful. Every time I come and see my relative, she is clean and talking with other residents. I made the decision to bring her there. I'm really happy that she is there. She is happy, and I'm also relaxed that she is somewhere safe and well looked after. Thank you, Limetree.

Thank you for your review, it was very much appreciated.
I was impressed with the set-up. Interaction among residents was great. So too is with staff. The environment is very clean and tidy. Meeting with other relatives and feelings of the home through discussions was great.

My experience was good for the time I was there. Looks like everyone is well looked after and has their own space.

I was welcomed to the home by a nice, beautiful smile from the reception lady. The staff are very friendly and approachable. There was music and exercise going on with the residents and the carers. Good home to visit.
