About Limetree Care Home
Limetree Care Home is a nursing home in Lambeth. We provide nursing care and we support people living with dementia. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. With nurses on duty at every hour, medication, skin care, nutrition, pain and mobility are managed here, and a change in somebody's condition is noticed by people who know how they usually are rather than by a stranger reading a chart. A good deal that would otherwise become a hospital admission is handled in the person's own room instead. For people living with dementia, familiarity does most of the work. The same faces, a day with a recognisable shape, and a team who take the trouble to learn a person's history. Distress nearly always has a reason behind it, and the reason usually lies somewhere in a life we did not witness, so families are the ones who can help us understand it. This is a mixed part of London and food, language and faith are taken seriously here, because they are part of who somebody is. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please come and visit if you are considering nursing care locally.
