  • Lime Tree Court Residential Care Home, Bilston
The team at Lime Tree Court are dedicated to enriching the lives of their residents, with activities and experiences that bring them joy. Providing residential and dementia care, the team also offer respite care breaks.

There are some fabulous activities to enjoy, from live music and entertainment and regular exercise sessions, to movie afternoons in the home’s cinema, with popcorn and candyfloss.

The team are passionate about discovering the life histories of their residents and what they love to do, so they can create bespoke, meaningful activities.

Every month the home runs a mental health café, where residents, their loved ones and the team chat over coffee and cake, sharing their thoughts and experiences.

The environment in the home is beautiful, the spacious bedrooms have ensuite walk-in wet rooms, there is a vintage themed café and a hairdressing salon, for weekly appointments with a mobile hairdresser. There is also a sensory room, for relaxing, soothing activities.

In the dining rooms, the residents enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals, from roast dinners with all the trimmings to fish and chip Fridays and freshly baked cakes for afternoon tea.

The beautiful, enclosed gardens feature raised planters, for residents who like to enjoy a spot of gardening and growing their own produce, a fishpond and wheelchair friendly pathways. They are a wonderful space to relax with loved ones, who are welcome at any time, and to enjoy special occasions like summer garden parties.

The local community are embraced into life in the home, with students who visit regularly to spend time with the residents. And nobody gets a welcome quite like the residents’ favourite dogs, Tilly and Lennie.

The team also organise trips out, from pub lunches and church visits to community bingo mornings and excursions further afield to the West Midland Safari Park, which they enjoyed this summer.

We are very happy with all aspects of care provided at Lime Tree Court. One problem that needs to be addressed is that of missing laundry.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I needed to find a care home for my very elderly, but with-it dad, but didn't know the Wolverhampton area at all. I was immediately impressed with Lime Tree Court's friendly atmosphere and it's strong ethos on the residence being the home, with also very evident links with the local community. I particularly
valued the approach to preventative health measures. Dad has now been here for 2 months and is very happy, contented and settled here.

I have found Lime Tree Court to be very clean and fresh, staff helpful and kind to residents. Plenty of entertainment for the residents to keep them interested in things. Mother-in-law has settled in very well and staff have been understanding to her needs. Everything seems to be very well run!

I come every week to see a friend and I have always found everyone very friendly and pleasant. The home is always clean and tidy and unlike other homes I have visited. I have never smelt an unpleasant urine odour. I find this home to be of a very high standard.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It would be better if rooms were locked to stop residents going into all of the rooms and taking anything they wanted.
Reply from Julie Wrighton, Home Manager at Lime Tree Court Residential Care Home

Thank you for your review. We work hard to ensure Lime Tree Court is our residents’ home so it would be unfair to not enable them to go in and out of their rooms freely. Occasionally someone may get confused and enter another resident’s room by mistake, but our team are always there to provide a helping hand and support them to where they would like to go. If you would like to discuss this further please do come and speak to me as we can, of course, look at drawing up an individual plan that works for you and your family.

Clothes, slippers, and toiletries go missing! It could smell better, but at the moment taking carpets up which should help. Should keep rooms locked during the day so no-one can go in stealing things.
Reply from Julie Wrighton, Home Manager at Lime Tree Court Residential Care Home

Thank you for your positive ratings. Lime Tree Court is our residents’ home so it would be unfair to lock all the bedroom doors because it prevents them from using their bedrooms freely. Occasionally a resident may accidentally go into the wrong room and think these are their belongings but we are always there to help them. We are pleased to say that one area where there was a slight odour is currently having a new carpet fitted. If your concerns do continue then please do not hesitate to talk to me.

My friend has been in the above named care home since April 2013. She has an excellent room, and service from the staff. The 'home' is relatively new and has lovely accommodation, including a large airy lounge. It has everything to provide contentment and happiness to the residents, I recommend it whole-heartedly
to any prospective people, looking for this type of accommodation.

From day one of my husband being at Lime Tree Court I knew he would be cared for and treated with dignity and after a very bad experience at another care home which he ended up in hospital with sepsis through lack of care. Lime Tree Court put me and my families mind at rest, he is happy and contented
there and being well looked after, for which we are thankful.

Review from Sue F (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The senior and carers provide excellent care for mom. They treat her with the utmost courtesy and love and dignity. They should be paid at least double their salaries. Mom's room is comfortable and light which is important for macular degeneration in her eyes. The food is adequate but there is room
for improvement. It would be good if the residents were allowed more outside space, I realise that would involve a lot of work by the carers but my mum would welcome being outdoors on sunny days. When visitors come it would be a good idea to move into the quiet room because the residents lounge gets overcrowded. It is their home not the visitors.
Reply from Kate Yates, Senior PR Officer at Lime Tree Court Residential Care Home

The home’s deputy manager James Smith: “Thank you for taking the time to review our home and for all your positive comments. With regards to our residents going outside, we love to see them enjoying the gardens and our team support them to take every opportunity to get outside - particularly when the weather is warmer. We have a lovely potting shed so that our residents can enjoy a spot of light gardening and try to hold as many events outside where we can, including summer garden parties.

I appreciate being able to spend quality time with my mother. The warm and friendly staff always make me feel welcome. I trust them to care for my mum as I am not able to. Management are easy to talk to and approachable. I sometime feel there should be more staff on my moms floor especially at weekends.

Day staff are wonderful, so caring and compassionate, give time to all who need it, listen and note any comments made. Food is very good and enjoyed by my husband. I cannot comment on night staff, we have not met any as I visit during the day, but I would highly recommend this beautiful home to all
who are looking for somewhere for their loved ones to be cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.856)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.856) out of 10 for Lime Tree Court Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.856 for Lime Tree Court Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (486 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 550 Ratings = 4.856
  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 Tree Court Residential Care Home is based on 46 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 46 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.
