About
The Limes is a care home on Alcester Road in Stratford-upon-Avon, near a Morrisons supermarket. It offers care and support that aims to help residents stay as independent as possible. The home has 31 bedrooms, some on the ground floor where available. Residents live in households, each with its own lounge, dining area and kitchenette, and each household follows a theme of town, country or classical living.
Shared areas include a café and a unisex hair salon, and residents gather in these spaces to socialise and join in activities. The garden is maintained by residents and staff and attracts local wildlife, including squirrels and muntjac deer. Night-time acoustic monitoring is used with the consent of residents or their families. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2025 report, with every key question also rated Good.
