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.

We have seen some great improvements to Limetree over the past few weeks and in turn, my grandad seems far more settled and happy. The staff are friendly and engaging and now go out of their way to make my grandad feel more at home and at ease. The activities too are great and get all the residents involved, especially when they have entertainers signing the old songs and get everyone up on their feet. It is a great pleasure to see them so happy.
Activities are done every day. Especially enjoyed the flower arranging.
The staff watch mum so she doesn't fall and assist with personal care.
