The proprietors, Rob and Claire Lee form a point of contact where it is inappropriate to contact the management team. They manage the financial affairs of Lime Tree House but have no day to day management roles; you may see them at the home from time to time; please stop to say hello when you see them.
The management team handle the day to day management of the home, ensuring care provision is appropriate for all our residents. They are a great point of contact if you have questions to ask, ideas to put forward or if you wish to raise concerns.
Registered nurses are available 24 hours a day, they take charge of the home in the absence of management and they take charge of the shift. The nursing team is made up of a mix of skills to ensure a fully holistic approach to care is maintained. Amongst them you will see Learning Disability nurses, Mental Health and General nurses; all offering specific skills, supplementing and supporting each other to ensure all aspects of the residents’ well-being is maintained.
Care assistants make up the majority of the workforce, they spend their shifts directly caring for our residents. They know their likes and dislikes, they recognise the needs and support the residents whether at Lime Tree House or on excursions. Often the best people to talk to when you have questions or suggestions.
Cooks make freshly prepared meals, on site with a nutritionally balanced menu. They will respond to specific requests, likes, dislikes and prepare food according to individual/specialist diets. Food is such an important part of our daily lives, it provides structure and orientation to our day, enables social interaction and is a pleasure that stimulates mind and body. Our cooks are expected to form relationships with our residents and are integral to our care planning practices.
Domestics keep our environment clean, they reduce infection risk and help promote dignity for our residents. They too are expected to form relationships with our residents and to get involved with activities, help develop independence and work closely with the care staff to ensure a safe environment for everyone at Lime Tree House.
