About Us

Our Approach

Family is at the very heart of The Limes, The Limes was originally opened by Alan and Angela Dewen, who frustrated at his their inability to find a residential care home with a real family feel to it for Alan’s parents decided there was only one option open to, and thus The Limes was born, with its first residents, Violet and Ted Dewen.

The Limes is now owned by their sons Myles and Alistair and they alongside Myles’ wife Jo are very involved in the day to day running of The Limes. Alistair, Myles and Jo are working towards their NVQ 3 and 5 respectively in Health and Social Care and often work alongside the Care staff. This helps them have a full understanding of what goes on in The Limes and gives them the opportunity to get to know each resident as the individual they are. Myles and Jo’s two boys Teddy and Bertie often come into The Limes and visit the residents.
