"Exceptional leadership, high staff morale, plenty of staff and great training, although activities are limited to spiritual support and basic outings."
Risks were effectively managed, and people told us they felt safe living at Lime Tree House. The CSNs said they would discuss any incidents as a team to try to prevent them happening again.
Morale at the home was extremely high, with staff being proud and motivated to work at Lime Tree House.
There was a high number of staff on duty. There were always 2 CSNs on each shift.
Lime Tree House had become the only UK training centre for CSNs, in partnership with the Christian Science accredited training facility based in Switzerland. All CSNs at the home had completed additional training to become mentors.
The home was exceptionally well led by a registered manager who was valued and respected by all the staff, people living at the home, relatives, and the wider Christian Science community.
People's spiritual and social needs were being met. A range of Christian Science books and literature were available for people to read. People were also able to join online church services, Christian Science seminars and access online journals.
No activities coordinator or varied creative programmes, so the role is mostly spiritual support, reading faith books, and basic outings.
