My extremely frail uncle came to Lime Tree House in 2022 when it became clear he was no longer able to look after himself at home. The care and support he was given at Lime Tree House was truly excellent. Being welcomed into the Lime Tree House 'family' really improved his health and his quality of
life, and as a result he had 3 happy 'bonus years' that I am certain he would not otherwise have had. The kindness of the staff towards all residents shines through, and residents are genuinely cared for, not just looked after.

My Dad has been living in Lime Tree House for 18 months. It wasn't an easy transition for him, but the staff were patient, kind and encouraging to him. Over time, my Dad's mental capacity has significantly decreased which was expected with his dementia diagnosis.
I remain confident that his care
and welfare needs are fully met by the staff. They KNOW my Dad and understand him. It's a small home and the person centered care is amazing.
The manager Stacey, is a calm, professional and caring. The staff have been there all the time by Dad has and some have been there for many years. This was really important to me.
The food is also freshly cooked, nutritious and tasty.
I work in the social care sector and therefore have high standards for my Dad's care. I have never been concerned that his emotional or physical care hasn't been met to a high standard.
Thank you all

My wife has been in Lime Tree House since 13/10/2025 following a period of respite. Since then, the staff have been so helpful, and assisting her to settle in and accept the permanency of her stay. I am so grateful to everyone at the home for looking after her in a way I can no longer achieve. She
appears happy and content, although she has a reluctance to ask the staff if she needs something. She feels a nuisance by doing so. The home is the best one she has been in. The bedroom and community rooms are well furnished and welcoming. There is a freshness about the place. The staff are so helpful, pleasant and understanding. I trust them to look after my wife who I have loved for 66 years. Since I am unable to give the care and attention she needs and deserves, I am more than willing to commit her to the care of Lime Tree House.

My husband and I was invited to a bonfire lunch with our friend. We had a lovely meal and it was lovely to sit with the residents and learn more about them all and their interesting lives and where they use to live. Many of them are local to Lewes and it must have been enjoyable for them to mix with
some new faces.

I am very happy with Lime Tree House. The staff have all been amazing and have encouraged mum to join in some of the very varied activities. Movement and meditation a particular favourite. The home is light and bright and the food excellent.

I am extremely happy with Lime Tree House and the staff are all amazing.
My mum is very happy here and really enjoys living here at her home

Lime Tree House is run extremely well.

Care has been excellent in general. The food is good and the care is very good. There have been one or two management issues which have been resolved. There are a good range of activities and staff are keen to get residents involved. The room is comfortable and kept warm with good views and
lighting. The are some good meeting rooms as well.

After many years living at Lime Tree House, my 97-year-old mother is now becoming more frail and in need of more and more attendance. The excellent care they provided in the past has now been extended, always with the same gentleness, kindness and respect for my mum. She still knows many of the
staff, trusts them and thanks them when they help her.
21 February 2024
Mum was welcomed.
All equipment she required was provided and installed promptly.
The ambiance and decor was of a high standard.
The staff looked smart, were professional and caring. Making Mum feel one of the family.
The food was of a high standard, well presented and if there was nothing she
liked, they would do her something separate.
She felt safe. Staff were always walking by her room and all staff interacted with her.
The room was clean and cleaning staff were helpful and again chatted to her.
She enjoyed her experience as a respite and we have no concerns for her to return as respite or long-term care.

From the moment you walk in, it is completely cosy. Beautifully decorated - okay, nothing to do with care, but important to be surrounded by. All the carers know my name and who I am visiting, and they all have a smile; even the odd job man makes us laugh. My friend is very happy there. I would
recommend it to anyone.

Lovely staff, all very caring and easy to speak to. Variety of activities offered by the wonderful well-being/activity coordinators. They gave Nana a lovely birthday surprise with cake and personal gifts. Home-cooked food - the home even put on a special afternoon tea for my grandparent's wedding
anniversary last summer! Rooms are all welcoming and easily personalised. What a lovely place to stay!

A very caring place who does listen when I speak (and they act!) Mum is mostly happy there - as long as she's having a good day, of course. Activities are good and well run. Quite happy leaving Mum in their care.
01 December 2023
The staff are caring, friendly and do a good job. My mum always says she is well looked after. The facilities are clean and spacious.
I do have one concern - why is there such a big turnover of managers? Are there problems with their working conditions or pay? Do they get enough support from the
owners?

My uncle chose this wonderful homely residential care home after we had received an in-depth tour from the manager, who spent time answering all our natural concerns for him to transfer from independent living to a home filled with other residents, of all capabilities. We were impressed with what we
were shown and grateful for the speedy transfer. My uncle has taken a few weeks to settle in but overall is feeling secure and well cared for, he loves the fact that we as his family are able to drop by unannounced to visit him. The staff are kind, and caring and always acknowledge us whenever we call by. The home is spoilt less and has a feeling of homely things around. The activity team are great, thinking up different things for the residents to take part in daily should they wish. I love to follow all the fun activities on social media.

There was a warm welcome for our mum when she arrived at Lime Tree care home in March 2023. Her previous residence had left her in poor health and the family were becoming concerned.
Given a beautiful sunny room, surrounded by personal items, enjoyed good home-cooked food and received love and care
from all who met her. The staff were diligent with her physical and mental needs and she soon became stronger and was encouraged to take part in the many activities that the home offered.
Family and friends were always made to feel welcome when visiting, and communication by phone, email and social media was regular.
The manager and staff helped our parents celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary with a splendid cream tea.
Six months on, with Mum's health restored, she has left Lime Tree and returned to the family home.
Massive thanks.

The staff are all very committed and helpful.

My uncle had some respite care at Lime Tree House about three years ago. Last Christmas he returned for full-time care and was remembered by the staff, who understand his individual ways and needs. The management team are always there to discuss his present and future care. I'm happy he is in a safe
caring environment.

My friend has been a resident for ten months. Her room is newly decorated and she was allowed to bring her personal belongings and her furniture. All the office staff and carers have been very caring and friendly and have been very welcoming to me. The social media page is brilliant so I can see my
friend enjoying herself with activities and special events which means if I can't get in when I phone I know what to talk about. My friend is very happy at Lime Tree it did take a her a few months for her to settle. The only criticism I would say is an email or text or a note on social media if the home is closed due to covid or sickness.

The management and staff were very accommodating to organise emergency, short stay. Communication and updates were easy to access. The staff were always friendly and welcoming. The room was very clean and bright.
