Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 30 good, 3 exceptional. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Lime Tree Gardens is a 24-bed residential care home in London, Camden, run by The Riverside Group Limited. It is registered to care for older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people who use drugs or alcohol. The typical home in Camden has 40 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Its CQC rating, from April 2026, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its previous rating, in August 2021, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. The typical rating in Camden is about 5 years old, so this one is fairly recent. CQC scored 33 standards: 3 exceptional and the rest good.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. 7 other homes in Camden share its tier, “Good”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2023. That is true of 78% of homes in Camden.
