  • The Laurels and The Limes Care Home, Sheffield
The Laurels and Limes Care Home is a beautiful home situated in 3 acres of parkland close to the Sheffield suburb of Broomhill. Separated into two homes, one boasting the ambiance of old world charm and the other a purpose built, yet sophisticated home.

Carers offer residents and their families the support they need during what many find some of the most trying times of their lives. Families & advocates are truly grateful for the personal support they receive, when faced with one of life's very difficult decisions and pride themselves on continuing that support to residents and their families from the moment they contact throughout the whole of their stay and beyond.

The approach to care is simple - look after the person and not the ailment/condition alone - professionals want to get to know their residents and their families, thus enabling them to look after the whole person and not just to concentrate on the task in hand. Carers get to know their clients, who they are, who they were and how they have come to be at the home.

Carers get to know families too and like to understand the dynamics within the family setting and how best they can support these as they build a relationship of trust. Staff understand that choosing a care home is not just about excellent amenities, but about a true and real understanding of relationships being nurtured, trust being built and a life being lived.

Since my mum came to The Limes nearly three years ago she has been looked after by an amazing set of carers. Nothing is too much trouble for them. All staff are caring, kind and helpful to both Mum and her family. It's an amazing place.

My brother has been in The Limes for a few months, but my experience is the staff are amazing, very caring, nothing is too much trouble. He has settled in wonderfully but only through the constant care from the staff and management. The rooms are very well kept and clean and the toe ladies who do the
activities are wonderful. They do some wonderful things. All in all, very happy with this home.

Since my mom became a resident she thrived. The staff are absolutely amazing. Nothing is too much trouble. They have welcomed my mom so well in the short time she has been here. Anything medical is swiftly dealt with. The food and refreshment are lovely. Mom has put lots of weight on since being here
which is something we struggled with. Overall cannot recommend The Laurels and Limes highly enough. Mom loves it here.

As the sickness of my husband was expressed as "terminal", I found, as his wife, nothing but kindness, shown to him, me and my two "medical" children.
We were shown true kindness, help and encouragement all along the last days of his life and appreciate the staff, who do a marathon job caring for so
many sick, elderly, often lonely people. Thank you.

Aunty arrived in early October 2023 after being in hospital and another care home (she didn't like it there) she loved it here at the Laurels. The staff have gone above and beyond to give her all the care that she needed. She was treated with dignity at all times.

Mum was content here at all times. She once said it was jolly! The staff are all very engaged in their work and dedicated to the residents. They always have a friendly "hello" and a warm smile. I never had a single concern about Mum's level of care here. The team always go over and above to capture
the mood of the home - Christmas, Easter, Coronation, etc.

Mum was admitted to the nursing floor of the Limes building for what turned out to be end-of-life care. All the staff were both caring and professional throughout. If you are looking for this level of care you need look no further. As mum grew older we came into contact with other care homes, some being
very poor but having surprisingly good reviews. This care home had a decent score but not top of the list so nearly got overlooked. How glad we were to have taken the time to visit and have a look around beforehand. The staff, facilities, regime, cleanliness, level of care, and situation were second to none. Thank you.

Reply from Chris Cousins, Registered General Manager at The Laurels and The Limes Care Home

Good morning, thank you for your lovely review of our home and staff team. I will share your comments with the team today. Our care and nursing staff do work very hard day in and day out, especially around providing end of life care - its is always pleasing as the manager to hear that their caring attitude, effort and hard work does not go unappreciated by our residents and their families. Please visit us anytime you are passing.

The care my mum received throughout her three and a half years as a resident was without a doubt impeccable. Sadly my mum's health deteriorated rapidly over the last few weeks but she was treated with dignity, care and more importantly, love from all the staff. There is no doubt in my mind that my mum
was in the best place possible and during her last days everyone was so kind to her and to me.
I was kept up to date with all her treatment by the staff and the GP. I will miss my mum but I will also miss the staff as they have become my friends.

During Mum's stay for respite the carers made every effort to make my mum feel at home. All the staff are very friendly and caring. Mum settled in straight away. The food is very good and The Limes itself is situated within its own grounds with lovely gardens! Would highly recommend this care home.
The staff at The Limes Care Home do a really good job of looking after their residents.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.638)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.638) out of 10 for The Laurels and The Limes Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 28 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 4.638 for The Laurels and The Limes Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (231 Excellents x 5) + (77 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 329 Ratings = 4.638

  • 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 The Laurels and The Limes Care Home 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 88 registered maximum number of service users is 17.6, 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.
