About
Lime Tree House Residential Home is a care home in Ringmer, a village near Lewes in East Sussex, and it has 30 registered beds. It provides residential care, respite stays, and support for people living with dementia. Respite stays can last a few days or longer, giving family carers a break. Each resident has a personal care plan that is reviewed regularly, and care is provided around the clock.
The home is on the ground and first floors, with a passenger lift giving access to both. All 30 rooms have en-suite facilities and can be personalised with residents' own furniture and décor. Two lounges, one opening onto a large garden with decking, offer space for socialising and activities. Residents can choose their own times for getting up, going to bed and eating, and the in-house chef plans weekly menus that can be adjusted to individual tastes. The Care Quality Commission rates the home Good overall, with Good ratings across all five key questions.
