The team at Lime Tree Court are dedicated to enriching the lives of their residents, with activities and experiences that bring them joy. Providing residential and dementia care, the team also offer respite care breaks.

There are some fabulous activities to enjoy, from live music and entertainment and regular exercise sessions, to movie afternoons in the home’s cinema, with popcorn and candyfloss.

The team are passionate about discovering the life histories of their residents and what they love to do, so they can create bespoke, meaningful activities.

Every month the home runs a mental health café, where residents, their loved ones and the team chat over coffee and cake, sharing their thoughts and experiences.

The environment in the home is beautiful, the spacious bedrooms have ensuite walk-in wet rooms, there is a vintage themed café and a hairdressing salon, for weekly appointments with a mobile hairdresser. There is also a sensory room, for relaxing, soothing activities.

In the dining rooms, the residents enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals, from roast dinners with all the trimmings to fish and chip Fridays and freshly baked cakes for afternoon tea.

The beautiful, enclosed gardens feature raised planters, for residents who like to enjoy a spot of gardening and growing their own produce, a fishpond and wheelchair friendly pathways. They are a wonderful space to relax with loved ones, who are welcome at any time, and to enjoy special occasions like summer garden parties.

The local community are embraced into life in the home, with students who visit regularly to spend time with the residents. And nobody gets a welcome quite like the residents’ favourite dogs, Tilly and Lennie.

The team also organise trips out, from pub lunches and church visits to community bingo mornings and excursions further afield to the West Midland Safari Park, which they enjoyed this summer.

Overall we are happy with the care. Most of the staff are friendly and helpful. My mother-in-law seems to be happy. We are concerned about the changing of staff as we understand this is not good for residents with dementia. They need continuity. The assistant manager is always very helpful if there
are any issues.

Reply from Julie Wrighton, Home Manager at Lime Tree Court Residential Care Home

Thank you for some lovely comments. We understand how close your mother-in-law was to a carer who recently moved abroad so we’ve ensured the team has been there to support her. We structure rotas so our residents regularly have their favourite staff on shift, however, it is important to occasionally rotate staff so that if we need them to help on a different floor, our residents already know them. You are most welcome to come and see me if you would like to discuss things further.

Northern House School visit Lime Tree Court regularly as part of an Education Plan, both staff and pupils are always made to feel welcome and really look forward to their weekly visits.
From the initial contact with reception to interacting with staff and residents, the whole experience is so friendly
and thoroughly enjoyable.
Due to the staff's brilliant ways, always going the extra mile, they have contributed to helping the pupils from Northern House School to improve their social skills and to raise their self-esteem.

The home is very well presented, clean and all the staff are well presented, friendly and have been attentive to all the residents on my mother's floor (1st). they have an enjoyable time with music to keep residents happy. All of the residents were given drinks when asked for. My mother was clean and
clothed well. She seems very happy and content. Would recommend the care home.

I needed to find a care home for my very elderly, but with-it dad, but didn't know the Wolverhampton area at all. I was immediately impressed with Lime Tree Court's friendly atmosphere and it's strong ethos on the residence being the home, with also very evident links with the local community. I particularly
valued the approach to preventative health measures. Dad has now been here for 2 months and is very happy, contented and settled here.

I come every week to see a friend and I have always found everyone very friendly and pleasant. The home is always clean and tidy and unlike other homes I have visited. I have never smelt an unpleasant urine odour. I find this home to be of a very high standard.

It would be better if rooms were locked to stop residents going into all of the rooms and taking anything they wanted.

Reply from Julie Wrighton, Home Manager at Lime Tree Court Residential Care Home

Thank you for your review. We work hard to ensure Lime Tree Court is our residents’ home so it would be unfair to not enable them to go in and out of their rooms freely. Occasionally someone may get confused and enter another resident’s room by mistake, but our team are always there to provide a helping hand and support them to where they would like to go. If you would like to discuss this further please do come and speak to me as we can, of course, look at drawing up an individual plan that works for you and your family.

Clothes, slippers, and toiletries go missing! It could smell better, but at the moment taking carpets up which should help. Should keep rooms locked during the day so no-one can go in stealing things.

Reply from Julie Wrighton, Home Manager at Lime Tree Court Residential Care Home

Thank you for your positive ratings. Lime Tree Court is our residents’ home so it would be unfair to lock all the bedroom doors because it prevents them from using their bedrooms freely. Occasionally a resident may accidentally go into the wrong room and think these are their belongings but we are always there to help them. We are pleased to say that one area where there was a slight odour is currently having a new carpet fitted. If your concerns do continue then please do not hesitate to talk to me.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.815)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.815) out of 10 for Lime Tree Court Residential Care Home 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.815 for Lime Tree Court Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (377 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 443 Ratings = 4.815

  • 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 Lime Tree Court Residential Care Home is based on 37 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 37 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.
