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. ?
The home changed owner in July 2024. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
The Limes 1 is one of 132 care homes in Cambridgeshire: a 19-bed nursing home in Ely, run by Suffolk Serenity Living Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and people with mental health needs. It is a small home for Cambridgeshire, where the median is 35 beds.
Its kitchen was rated 4 for food hygiene in December 2024. In Cambridgeshire, 88% of homes score 5. 89 other homes in Cambridgeshire share its tier, “Good”. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. Suffolk Serenity Living Limited has run the home since July 2024, when it changed owner. It is one of 6 homes run by Suffolk Serenity Living Limited. 2 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
In May 2018, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. That matches its previous rating, from December 2015. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 64% of homes in Cambridgeshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
