Limewood

My mum arrived at Limewood and was struggling with personal care. I was amazed at how quickly the staff were managing and introducing Mum to routine. It has only been a couple of weeks but Mum seems settled and very well supported. The care she is receiving is very professional with a very caring touch. I have no doubt that with the care and support she is receiving she will be happy. Lovely friendly staff throughout the home. Thank you all.

Yes excellent care.

My sister has recently been moved from one cluster to a new one. She doesn't like changes as a rule and I was concerned at the thought of the trauma she may well encounter. It was the complete opposite. The staff gradually managed the transition over a short period and kept me updated with the progress. To their credit the move was a complete seamless positive one and my Sister has settled like the proverbial duck to water. I can't thank the staff enough for their caring efforts. In no particular order, the Reception Staff, the Nursing team, Caring Team, Cleaning Staff and of course the Unit Manager and her team all give Limewood the excellent results that makes it, to quote a famous singer ' Simply The Best'. Thank you and keep up the good work.

I live in Germany and was over to See mum for a week in March. I generally come twice a year to see mum and the Staff are always very welcoming. They do their very best to care for mum and try to keep her occupied which is very important as she was a mental health nurse for many years and is used to always having plenty to do. Any Problems that worry me they do their utmost to solve. A lot of them are more like Friends which means a lot to me being so gar away. Limewood I would recommend to anyone looking for a clean,safe and caring Home for a loved one.

Mum has been resident at Limewood for two years. We are very happy with the care she receives and how settled she is. As mum's dementia has progressed she is non verbal and so it is really important to us that we feel confident in the care as she cannot speak for herself. I visit at different times and days and mum is always neatly dressed in coordinating clothes. Her hair is usually washed, always brushed. She is always happy to see the different carers and smiles at them. Most importantly she seems peaceful and relaxed. She is eating well. Any issues are communicated to me quickly. The carers themselves are lovely and they always offer a drink when I'm there, and let me know what kind of day mum is having. We often talk about what mum was like when she was younger. Mums room is neat and clean, and the other residents on her cluster are all ladies who usually get on well together. There are regular activities both on the cluster and downstairs.

There is always something going on in the High Street with activities the girls there are wonderful.

We are really happy with the level of care my father is receiving at Limewood. The staff are excellent; friendly, caring and always happy to discuss with family, any issues with the health or care of my father. They keep us up to date with any changes to his medication or care. The Admin Staff and Management team are also always friendly, approachable and happy to help with any queries we have had. Limewood has made 'dealing with dementia' so much easier for us as a family to deal with. After experiences of other care homes, we feel very fortunate that our father is cared for at Limewood.

My wife has been a resident for over two years with Alzheimers. During that period her condition has slowly deteriorated and the care provided has matched her needs. The staff have always been caring and attentive despite the challenges they face on a daily basis.

My mother spent just under a year at Limewood and the care she received was outstanding. The small clusters worked wonderfully for her dementia and meant the staff truly knew her, spent time with her and always respected her dignity.

When end of care was decided they went above and beyond. They quickly coordinated with the district nurses, doctors and other services to make sure she was completely comfortable and that everything was managed smoothly. They took the practical pressures away so I could simply focus on being with her.

In her final week she was cared for with such kindness and the staff supported me too. Some even came in on their own time to pay their respects and share lovely stories about her which meant so much.

I did not realise how amazing they were until I saw firsthand the compassion they show every day. Thank you for understanding her dementia and frailty and for treating her as a person. I will always be grateful.

All staff are excellent and the care is superb facilities and entertainment are amazing and everyone are so friendly and make you feel very welcome, nothing is no problem.

Dad moved into Limewood at the end of July this year, from a nursing home that had not been meeting his needs well at all. I can't stress enough the difference in the quality of care and the environment between the two places. I actually had a little happy cry at how lovely Dad's bedroom is at Limewood. It actually feels like a home, rather than a clinical space. The carers and nurses are kind and knowledgeable and I feel very confident leaving Dad in their care. He is eating better than he has done in years - enjoying his food and eating at a table with others, rather than on a tray over his lap. I went on holiday with no worries at all about the care that Dad was receiving, for the first time in over a year. Thank you so much to the lovely, kind and friendly staff for giving me the peace of mind I desperately needed.

Mum has been in Limewood over 6 years. She has received good treatment. Her dementia has become worse but she seems happy in her surroundings.

Really lovely attentive staff. All have a caring attitude and responsible to resident needs. Care home is always kept clean and tidy. Staff always keep me well informed.

The staff were excellent and provided great assistance. The facilities were very clean and organised and are the best environment I could hope for my grandma.

My husband has been in Limewood for a year. The day I came to look around for him, as soon as I came through the front reception, I saw a bright, clean. I know he was in his forever home. He settled in very quickly. I could leave knowing he was cared for. The staff are very caring. The manager is available all 24 hours. Noting is too much for staff, residents, and family. I can't thank all of them enough for taking my stress and worries away. I'm now a wife, not a carer.

Whenever I walk into Limewood, I feel a sense of calm and welcome. The office and reception staff are always most helpful and pleasant. The activities staff are wonderful and the carers make our loved ones feel that each on of them is special. I am happy to leave my husband in the care of these wonderful people not to mention the lovely food so well prepared in the kitchen.

Excellent entertainment/activities on St Patricks Day in the Fox & Duck pub/cafe. Music and drinks and care of patients. Also good film of Ireland and dance in the cinema.

My wife has been in Limewood since February 2024 in every aspect of care I found compassion, love, respect and dignity, each member of staff so kind it gives me peace of mind to know the love of my life is being looked after with genuine care. I only want the best for my wife and Limewood are the best, carers, medical, office, kitchen, cleaners, activities staff, thank you.

My father has received excellent care from all the staff at Limewood. The staff are friendly and professional when providing support. Communication with myself and my brother has been effective and reassuring. We feel that our father is always safe. It has been particularly beneficial when he has been accompanied by Limewood staff when visiting hospital.

Limewood Care Home provided excellent care and assistance for my father during his last days on earth. Nothing was too much trouble. The staff were very friendly and approachable and they gave us the confidence and peace of mind that my father could not have had better care. As well as caring for my father, the staff looked after the family as if we really mattered to them. We can recommend Limewood Care Home to everyone.
