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. ?
Run by Lime Tree Care Ltd, Lime Tree House is a nursing home in Chesterfield, Derbyshire with 11 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Derbyshire has 30 beds, so this one is on the small side.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in March 2019. Its previous rating, in September 2017, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 33% of homes in Derbyshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
