Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Lime Trees is 'home from home' one could not wish for more. On entering the building, the impression straight away is one of friendliness. The staff are wonderful in every way. One feels 'at home' immediately nothing is any trouble. There is always a smile to greet you and help is always at hand.

Review from D L (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
At the beginning of this year, I was tasked with finding a suitable Care Home for my mother. I researched care provision thoroughly in the area but many places left a lot to be desired and I could not possibly have moved my mother into any one of them. Because someone is elderly it does not mean that
drab, old-fashioned decor will do. Fortunately for me, Lime Trees had recently opened. Wow! The bright, thoughtfully co-ordinated interior of all areas really lifted the spirits. My mother has been at Lime Trees since February and is very happy in their resident-centred home. Staff are smiling and helpful; forever patient and understanding. The food is fabulous. Lots of activities for all tastes. Relatives and friends are always welcome. We take our dog who goes down well as a visitor, although she is kept away from the cake! Lime Trees was by far the best choice for my mum and we feel secure in the knowledge that she is safe and being cared for by the best!

Review from S C (Friend of Resident) published on 26 May 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having worked in care for a year and visited several care homes, Lime Trees has definitely exceeded expectations. From the friendly welcome to the facilities and genuine friendly care offered by the on-site staff, it was a pleasure to spend an afternoon there. You really felt that the staff liked working
there and that came through in their approach to the residents. Would certainly recommend it.

What a warm, welcoming and true home for all the residents and visitors alike. Thoughtful and caring staff, quiet and communal spaces and a well-researched and carefully created space for older people to live harmoniously together.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After viewing twelve other care homes and speaking to twenty-five others, my wife and I found Lime Trees! This place is absolutely fantastic!
We have spent three months looking for a suitable new home from home for an old friend of ours. After taking her there for two visits she made the big decision
to move in.
The team are absolutely fantastic! The food is wonderful! The accommodation and facilities: We’ll have a look for you. They have a cinema room, sweet shop! Hair salon which is included with the fees.
We can not recommend the Lime Trees enough!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had a few falls and reluctantly agreed she could no longer cope at home even with several care visits each day. The staff at Lime Trees are wonderfully welcoming and friendly and endlessly patient as well as very professional. All staff are smiling and engaged from the cleaner to the cook
to the manager. The building is brand new and very comfortable especially the extra size beds - so much more like home than the other places I visited. A big thank you to everyone.

Lime Trees is a great care home - the staff are helpful and friendly and everyone has been so kind to my granny, doing everything they can to help her settle in. The building itself is lovely. It's brand new and very clean and warm with a welcoming feel. I've been to a few different care homes over
the years and Lime Trees really does stand out as special. Thank you to everyone there helping my granny transition to the home during this difficult time.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.838)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.838) out of 10 for Lime Trees is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.838 for Lime Trees is calculated as follows: ( (386 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 445 Ratings = 4.838
  2. 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 Lime Trees is based on 37 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 37 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
