  • 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.

My Dad who is 91 yrs old has been a resident of The Laurels for the past 9 months. I really like the place, it has a family atmosphere about it. He struggled to settle at first but now seems really happy there, enjoys the activities (needs persuasion to take part at times) and all the staff are really
good with him.

We chose The Limes based on the recommendation of a dear family friend who chose it for herself, out of all of the homes in Sheffield, towards the end of her life; we have not been disappointed. Very kind and friendly staff. Very patient with dad's outbursts as he adjusted to being in care. Despite
losing his independence, he is now really enjoying being at The Limes, which is a big help to the rest of the family. In particular his other medical care; physiotherapy, speech therapy, etc. is being properly managed and Dad feels that he is being cared about; that someone is looking out for him. The Limes have respected Dad's independence and treated him with dignity and respect which, I feel, has contributed greatly to his successful transition to being in care. Highly recommended.

Our family is very happy with The Laurels and The Limes Care Home. The staff are great with all the residents, some of whom are very challenging. They make great efforts with them in regards to entertainment and general care. The home is warm and there is a lovely atmosphere.

Since my wife came to reside at The Limes in June 2016, the home has gone through various stages of development. Changes of manager have had an unsettling effect at times but this situation has now been resolved. The staff are very good generally and create a more comfortable environment.

Excellent service from staff and very clean. Residents are treated with respect and their dignity maintained.
The atmosphere is pleasant and inviting with no care home smells. Staff are well presented with clean/ironed uniforms.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My mother has been a resident at The Laurels and The Limes Care Home for the past two years suffering from dementia. During this time my brother and I have been highly delighted with her care. Following a period of upheaval as a result of two managers leaving in close succession. The care staff have
behaved in a most caring and compassionate way, especially when dealing with challenging behaviour. They have bee without fail cheerful and most helpful including the cleaning staff. Mum has settled in well during this time, is eating well and engages well with all members of the care team. I would have no hesitation in recommending. The Laurels care home to anyone seeking to find residential care for a loved one suffering with dementia.

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.
