About Lime Kiln House

Lime Kiln House is a residential care home in Southampton supporting older people and younger adults, with particular experience of supporting people with mental health needs. We also offer planned respite stays. We try to provide the sort of place where somebody can settle. That means a calm and predictable environment, staff who are consistent and unflustered, and support that is steady rather than intrusive. We help with personal care and medicines where that is needed, with meals and the running of the house, and with the practical business of appointments, letters, money and the many small things that become difficult when somebody is unwell. Just as importantly, we try to support people towards whatever they want their life to look like next. That might be rebuilding confidence, repairing contact with family, getting back to work, education or activities, or simply getting through a day without it feeling like a struggle. We work at the person's pace, we avoid promises about timescales that nobody can keep, and we accept that trust takes time when somebody has been let down before. Respite stays give family carers a genuine break and let people see what we are like before making any longer decision. If you are considering a place here for somebody, please come and visit, ask us difficult questions, and spend time with the people who already live here, because they will tell you more than we can.
