We are more than happy with the way all at Limegrove are caring for my mother, who at times, cannot be the easiest person to care for.

Limegrove is situated in beautiful countryside but only 5 minutes walk to local shops, a bowling green with seats around, a community centre and a church. I came here suffering from terrible depression, but within a week I knew this is where I wanted to be. Every week we have a minibus trip, a quiz,
seated exercise and various crafts. For those who sadly are unable to enjoy these things, our carers are there to attend to their needs. They do an excellent job. This is a happy, cosy home. I love it.

When I have visited the staff have been most helpful. I had lunch with my mother recently and this was most acceptable. Staff were doing their best in difficult circumstances.

My husband comes occasionally for respite, one week at a time, provided by social services.
It gives me a much needed break. All the staff welcome my husband on each visit and look after him well.

Left my mother with a certain amount of trepidation for a period of respite. First time ever and needn't have worried at all. From the moment we arrived, she was treated with courtesy and kindness from every member of staff we encountered. The home appears to be a happy place for both staff and residents.
Surroundings are comfortable and immaculately clean. My Mum has some dementia but she said the food was excellent and the care staff were so good to her. Lots of activities going on for those who wish to participate but others are welcome to watch. So thank you to everyone who looked after her and see you in the New Year.

Staff are caring and understanding. My wife is content but owing to her dementia. She does not always understand but the staff always look after her. The staff always understand if I have any problems and deal with them in a professional manner.

Limegrove is a clean, attractive care home with fresh decor and a homely feel. The food is excellent - with a choice given to residents or they can choose a special order (omelette etc) The staff are caring and the receptionists very helpful. Like most care homes getting sufficient staff on a regular
basis can be a challenge but things seem to run smoothly. A good range of activities and occasional outings are offered and the garden is used when fine.

It was decided earlier this year that mum needed help. She was put into Limegrove. We were very apprehensive not knowing how she would be. We needn't have worried as she settled in quite quickly. We love the home if we had had to pick one we couldn't have found a better one. The staff are lovely as
are the residents. Mum is very happy.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.780)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.780) out of 10 for Limegrove is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.780 for Limegrove is calculated as follows: ( (255 Excellents x 5) + (65 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.78

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Limegrove is based on 27 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 27 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
