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.

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.

06 July 2021
My mother has been a resident for five years. In that time she has always been very well looked after by the attentive and caring staff. The staff have been excellent throughout my mother's stay but especially over the last eighteen months, when family visits have been so restricted by the covid
guidelines.
27 June 2021
Every time I have been to the care home I have always been made welcome. It's always very clean and tidy, with no unpleasant smells. Whenever I have visited my mum she has always been very clean and tidy. The staff are always very helpful. I have had no worries about my mother as I know she is well
cared for and looked after.
24 June 2021
My mum has been living at The Limes for 3 1/2 years. She has been and still is well looked after and cared for. She enjoys the food and has lots of praise for all the carers. Covid restrictions has made it very difficult for her and the other residents but now visiting has been re-established it
feels a bit more "back to normal". The management kept The Limes Covid free and have taken on board the Government restrictions and changes as they were introduced and although this obviously created extra workload for them they coped extremely well. I am very happy with the care provided.
17 June 2021
My mother has been in The Limes for 6 years she suffered from advanced dementia. The care is of a very good standard. I feel my mother is well-liked and loved by the carers.
