About Lime House

Lime House is a residential care home near Warrington supporting older people, including those living with dementia, and adults with mental health needs. We help with washing and dressing, medication, meals and whatever else has become difficult, and we leave people in charge of the rest. Residents decide when they get up and go to bed, where they spend the day, what they eat and whether they want company or a quiet afternoon on their own. For residents living with dementia we keep the house familiar and the staff consistent, explain what is happening as we go and take time to work out what lies behind a change in mood rather than treating it as a symptom. For residents with mental health needs, stability, a calm household and staff who know a person well enough to notice a change do most of the good, and we work with local services and doctors. Meals are cooked here and we ask people what they actually want to eat. Visitors are welcome at any reasonable time, and getting out for some air is part of the ordinary week rather than a special event. Respite stays are available, whether to give a family carer a break or to support somebody through a short period of difficulty. Please ring us if you would like to come and look round.
