  • The Laurels and The Limes Care Home, Sheffield
The Laurels and Limes Care Home is a beautiful home situated in 3 acres of parkland close to the Sheffield suburb of Broomhill. Separated into two homes, one boasting the ambiance of old world charm and the other a purpose built, yet sophisticated home.

Carers offer residents and their families the support they need during what many find some of the most trying times of their lives. Families & advocates are truly grateful for the personal support they receive, when faced with one of life's very difficult decisions and pride themselves on continuing that support to residents and their families from the moment they contact throughout the whole of their stay and beyond.

The approach to care is simple - look after the person and not the ailment/condition alone - professionals want to get to know their residents and their families, thus enabling them to look after the whole person and not just to concentrate on the task in hand. Carers get to know their clients, who they are, who they were and how they have come to be at the home.

Carers get to know families too and like to understand the dynamics within the family setting and how best they can support these as they build a relationship of trust. Staff understand that choosing a care home is not just about excellent amenities, but about a true and real understanding of relationships being nurtured, trust being built and a life being lived.

I am deeply grateful to all the staff at The Limes for the outstanding care they gave my mother during her 20-month stay, and especially in her final days. From the beginning, she was treated with kindness, dignity, and genuine warmth. The team consistently went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable
and safe, creating a true sense of home.


Throughout her time there, I witnessed the patience, compassion, and professionalism of the carers, nurses, and support staff. Communication with me and the family was always thoughtful and reassuring.


In her final days, the staff showed incredible empathy and support, not only for her but for me as well. Their gentle presence and attentiveness brought comfort during an extremely difficult time.


I cannot thank the team enough for their care, respect, and dedication. They helped give her a peaceful and dignified passing, which means the world to me.

Reply from Zoe O'Neill, Acting Home Manager at The Laurels and The Limes Care Home

Thank you for the kind review, we a very grateful for the time our team got to spend caring for your lovely mother. Your lovely words will be shared with our team. Please let us know if there is anything we would do for you and your family.

I want to express my thanks to everyone at The Laurel and The Limes Care Home for the exceptional care and compassion shown to my mother-in-law throughout her two-year stay, and especially during her final days.


From the moment she arrived, the staff made her feel welcome and truly cared for. Their

warmth, respect, and attention to detail made a real difference to her quality of life. It was always clear she was in safe, capable, and loving hands - in fact, she though that she was staying in a hotel!


Throughout her time there, I was consistently impressed by the professionalism and kindness of the staff. They were always friendly, supportive, and approachable.


In her final days, the care and support provided were deeply moving. The team were not only there for her but also offered comfort and reassurance to the whole family during an incredibly emotional time.

Reply from Amanda Hawkes, Registered Home Manager at The Laurels and The Limes Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely, kind words. This means so much to us all here at the home. Please let me know if you ever need any support in the near future. Love always from the whole team.

My brother has been in The Limes for a few months, but my experience is the staff are amazing, very caring, nothing is too much trouble. He has settled in wonderfully but only through the constant care from the staff and management. The rooms are very well kept and clean and the toe ladies who do the

Since my mom became a resident she thrived. The staff are absolutely amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. They have welcomed my mom so well in the short time she has been here. Anything medical is swiftly dealt with. The food and refreshment are lovely. Mom has put lots of weight on since being here
which is something we struggled with. Overall cannot recommend The Laurels and Limes highly enough. Mom loves it here.

As the sickness of my husband was expressed as "terminal", I found, as his wife, nothing but kindness, shown to him, me and my two "medical" children.
We were shown true kindness, help and encouragement all along the last days of his life and appreciate the staff, who do a marathon job caring for so
many sick, elderly, often lonely people. Thank you.

Mum was admitted to the nursing floor of the Limes building for what turned out to be end-of-life care. All the staff were both caring and professional throughout. If you are looking for this level of care you need look no further. As mum grew older we came into contact with other care homes, some being
very poor but having surprisingly good reviews. This care home had a decent score but not top of the list so nearly got overlooked. How glad we were to have taken the time to visit and have a look around beforehand. The staff, facilities, regime, cleanliness, level of care, and situation were second to none. Thank you.

Reply from Chris Cousins, Registered General Manager at The Laurels and The Limes Care Home

Good morning, thank you for your lovely review of our home and staff team. I will share your comments with the team today. Our care and nursing staff do work very hard day in and day out, especially around providing end of life care - its is always pleasing as the manager to hear that their caring attitude, effort and hard work does not go unappreciated by our residents and their families. Please visit us anytime you are passing.

The care my mum received throughout her three and a half years as a resident was without a doubt impeccable. Sadly my mum's health deteriorated rapidly over the last few weeks but she was treated with dignity, care and more importantly, love from all the staff. There is no doubt in my mind that my mum
was in the best place possible and during her last days everyone was so kind to her and to me.
I was kept up to date with all her treatment by the staff and the GP. I will miss my mum but I will also miss the staff as they have become my friends.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.717)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.717) out of 10 for The Laurels and The Limes Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.717 for The Laurels and The Limes Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (60 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 283 Ratings = 4.717

  • b) 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 Laurels and The Limes Care Home is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 88 registered maximum number of service users is 17.6, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
