My mother was a resident for just over two years. She had Alzheimer's and could be very difficult to deal with at times. Throughout her stay, she was treated with respect and kindness by all of the people who work there. In the earlier days, she joined in activities including quizzes and sing-alongs
and towards the end, she was cared for gently and with dignity. I cannot fault the care she received and when she passed away it was amongst friends.

Whilst nothing is perfect I have found very little wrong with Lime Tree Court. The building itself is of many years of age and projects itself as a true home. Over 3 years I have witnessed the caring nature of staff and their infinite patience.

Reply from Melissa Laing, Owner at Lime Tree Court

We are pleased to receive your feedback and that you commented so positively on Lime Tree Court being a true home. We are very proud of our longstanding team of kind and committed carers. As with all our residents, your wife is a member of the Lime Tree Court family and we love caring for her.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our mother spent the last year or so of her life at Lime Tree Court. She was stressed and anxious when she arrived and had lost a lot of weight. Due to a combination of much better care and understanding, the superb attitude from the staff, and the home environment, she improved considerably. She enjoyed
the daytime activities, and the presence of other residents and very visible staff, which made for a sense of complete community.


Lime Tree Court is in a quiet village, at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, and feels safe and secluded. There is little external noise other than birdsong, the church clock chiming and the local primary school children playing at break times. We had no concerns about our mother with regard to her safety.


Any medical issues were addressed quickly and the local GP was excellent.


The house itself is quite old, but we have noticed over time the gradual improvement in facilities whilst our mother was a resident.


The owner and her colleagues are to be congratulated.


Reply from Melissa Laing, Owner at Lime Tree Court

We are delighted to receive your kind comments regarding the superb attitude of staff. The home environment and activities. We are extremely pleased that you have noticed the improvement in facilities which we are committed to continue. We will pass all your comments onto the team. We all miss your mother, we loved looking after her.

My mother was 87 yrs, with quite advanced dementia when she became a resident at Lime Tree Court, I had made my choice of home with due diligence. Although this was some time ago, we continue to visit a close friend who has been at Lime Tree Court for 2 yrs or so. The new management have made subtle
changes to decor, but the essence of committed high-quality client care continues. All the staff are delightful and wonderful with clients. Many are still working at Lime Tree Court and I regard them as real friends whilst remaining very grateful for their care to my mum who died at 90yrs of age.

Mother has been cared for by the wonderful staff at Lime Tree Court for the last 7 1/2 years. The environment is as close to being "at home" as is possible in a care home. The staff all know all the residents and treat them with respect, love and so much care. Visitors are always made very welcome at
any time and are never made to feel in the way. I could not ask for a better place for my mother to be.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.134)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.134) out of 10 for Lime Tree Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.917 for Lime Tree Court is calculated as follows: ( (11 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 4.917

  • b) 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 3.217 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lime Tree Court is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3

    • ii) 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 23 registered maximum number of service users is 4.6. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.6 = 0.217

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
