About Limes Residential Care Home
Limes Residential Care Home is a care home in Barnet. We provide residential care for older people, including people living with dementia, and we offer respite stays alongside permanent places. We are a smaller home, and that shapes what we can offer. People are known in detail rather than in general, the day can be arranged around individuals instead of a rota, and a change in somebody's mood or appetite gets noticed the same day rather than at a monthly review. What we cannot offer is the range of facilities a large home might have, and we say so plainly to families weighing up their options. Residents decide how their day goes: when to get up, where to sit, what to eat and how much company they want. Rooms belong to the people in them, with their own furniture and pictures, and relatives call in when it suits them. For people living with dementia, our starting point is the person's own history, which usually explains far more than anything in a medical file. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and look round and take your time deciding.
