I find The Limes to be a very professionally run establishment very clean nice environment food and facilities excellent. Staff all very caring and respectful of all residents. They all do a wonderfull job of looking after people who can have mood swings and aren't always as gratefull and easy to
deal with as they could be if I needed care yes please The Limes for me.

We needed to find some respite care for my mother, and naturally we were very anxious about how she would settle in. However, from the moment we arrived and she was shown to her room, all of our worries quickly disappeared. The environment felt warm, welcoming, and reassuring-not just for my mother,
but for our whole family.
The staff are truly exceptional. They are the friendliest and most compassionate people I have come across, and it's clear that they genuinely care about every resident. Nothing ever seems too much trouble for them, and they go above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable, safe, and valued.
It was such a relief to see my mother treated with such kindness and dignity. Knowing she was in such capable and caring hands gave us complete peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone looking for high-quality, compassionate care for a loved one.

My experience with The Limes Retirement home has been very positive. My father has been treated with care and has had a lovely calm warm environment for him to settle into. The staff are friendly and helpful. They obviously care about the residents which is clear to see with every visit I have
made. I can not want for a better place for my father to be and he also agrees it is a lovely place and likes the staff. Definitely recommend.

Since my mum's admission into The Limes she has been extremely well cared for. Mum is safe, happy and healthy thanks to the excellent staff that care for her. My aunties is also very impressed with The Limes, clean tidy and frendly staff. 10/10 from the both of us. Keep up the food work. Mum loves
you.

My dad has settled into the Limes very well, and it is clear that this is the right place for him and his needs at the stage of his life. The staff consistently show kindness, patience, and genuine respect, which has made a real difference to his comfort and confidence. He is treated with. dignity
at all times, and that means a great deal to our family. His daily routine suits him well and provides the right balance of support and respect for his own wish for quiet.

I find the Limes at Mellis a welcoming care home with a good atmosphere, also l like and appreciate the back outdoors. It has a large patio area with tables and pathway down to a meadow which my brother enjoys on a good weather day as unable to walk l can take him out in his wheelchair, he also
enjoys having his morning coffee outside.
When I visit as l said, the staff are very welcoming and always cheerful which is very uplifting. I like that they are very attentive in keeping residents content dealing with whatever their needs may be, be it a large or small situation.
They were excellent recently when my brother was unwell, they called a doctor in which then led to a few days in hospital.
My brother has put bird feeders outside so from his window he can watch all the birds that visit ( and there is a lot) so this does give him an interest.

My father's been at The Limes for a year now and he's very happy there. The staff are helpful when I ask about him and they also keep me updated about his welfare so if my dad's happy then I'm happy. The care home is clean and tidy and the food always looks very tasty.

My mum has been a resident at The Limes for about 18 months. I cannot praise the care home staff enough for how well they look after my mum. They are very kind and caring and have become like a second family to me. I am very grateful for everything that they do.

Dad's new care home offers excellent care with compassionate staff, great facilities and engaging activities. The staff provide a welcoming environment and Dad loves the gardens which are very serene. The exercise classes and music events are all well received. I was worried about moving Dad into a
new care home but the staff at The Limes took time to explain the process, reassure us and made Dad feel very welcome.

My parents were able to move together to the Limes when circumstances became too difficult for them to remain in their own home. The individual cottage they moved into allowed them to spend their last months together safe and secure in the knowledge that they were being cared for and their needs met
24/7, yet still maintaining some degree of independence.
The staff always appear happy and treat all the residents and visiting relatives with dignity and kindness. It is like one big family!

My husband was cared for at The Limes for the last nine months of his life, suffering with dementia. I highly recommend The Limes. The carers all showed my husband respect and kindness and he was content there, joining in activities when he was able to and enjoying the appetising home cooked food.
The atmosphere of the home is warm and friendly and the garden is a beautiful place for the residents to enjoy.
02 August 2021
Everyone who works at the Limes are friendly and caring people and have worked so hard to keep everyone safe, through Covid. I feel happy and confident our Mum is in safe hands and is well cared for.

We have been very pleased with the care my mother has received at The Limes. My mother is eating well and remains physically in good health considering her condition. Staff are always cheerful and helpful and have responded quickly to any concerns. The garden is lovely and sitting outside during
visits in the summer is very pleasant - my mother loves the trees and flowers.
19 July 2021
I have found the managers and staff very approachable. Under the covid circumstances, they have done exceptionally well keeping the virus out which in turn has given us confidence and peace of mind for which we are very, very grateful.
