Ideal Carehomes has celebrated the first anniversary of its Lime Tree care home in Shrewsbury, Shropshire.

Lime Trees invited the local community to an anniversary party, where guests enjoyed cheese and wine and live entertainment to commemorate the occasion.

Home manager, Karen Williams, said: “It was brilliant to see so much fun and laughter at our one-year anniversary party – everyone was dancing and singing! It’s been a truly incredible year for everyone at Lime Trees.

“As a home and a family, we feel so lucky to be a part of our local community, and we can’t thank our residents, their loved ones and our neighbours enough for their support in making Lime Trees the fantastic home it is today.”

The purpose-built, residential care home has achieved a number of milestones in its first year, including receiving a special award in the Mayor of Shrewsbury Awards and being rated 10 out of 10 on reviews website, carehome.co.uk

Resident Varina Shepherd (92) said: “Lime Trees is ‘home from home’; one could not wish for more. The staff are wonderful in every way, and nothing is too much trouble.”

You can find out more about Lime Trees work in the community at the home’s weekly Lime Lounge coffee morning every Tuesday from 10am.
