What inspectors found
CQC: Requires improvementReport published 6 October 2022 · Last inspected 20 September 2022
Inspectors found that people at The Limes, a care home for up to 46 older people, some living with dementia, felt safe and liked the staff, who they said were kind and knew their preferences. Since a new registered manager was appointed, care has become more organised, communication has improved, and staff have received extra training, though these changes are still being embedded. Support covers outings, contact with family and friends, meals, and health needs, with close working with community nurses.
