About The Limes 1

The Limes is a nursing home in Ely caring for older people who need qualified nursing alongside help with everyday life, including people living with dementia and adults with mental health needs. Nurses are on duty day and night. That means medication, wound and pressure care and conditions that need close monitoring are managed here, and somebody who becomes unwell is seen straight away rather than waiting for an appointment. It also means people are not moved on unnecessarily when their health needs change. For residents living with dementia we keep the day calm and predictable, keep the same staff working with the same people and take time to understand what somebody means when words have become difficult. For residents with mental health needs, a calm household and staff who know a person well enough to notice a change do most of the good, and we work closely with local services and doctors. Medication is reviewed carefully. Nursing is the foundation, not the purpose. Residents choose when they get up, what they eat, where they sit and who comes to visit, and we work at keeping those choices real rather than nominal. Respite stays are available for people needing nursing support for a short period and for family carers who need a proper break. Please ring us if you would like to visit and look round.
