Care Homes Owned by Lakeview Rest Homes Ltd

Mum moved to Lakeview Lodge in 2024 as her Alzheimer's progressed, which as a daunting experience for all of us. However, she was immediately made to feel at home and settled into the routine. She is extremely well cared for, and the open visiting policy means that family can visit freely and take out residents whenever possible. There is plenty of space downstairs for residents to move around, and the rooms are a good size, well proportioned and have their own shower rooms. The food is always exceptional, and mum is eating better than ever. The activities are excellent with accessible quizzes, games and entertainment giving everyone the opportunity to get involved. I particularly remember staying one morning when a visiting musician arrived on Mum's birthday, everyone was singing and interacting, creating such a lovely atmosphere. The chef even made a glorious birthday cake and everyone sang happy birthday to her. The manageress is terrific and communicates brilliantly with family members about any concerns, while carers are consistently kind and caring. Together they create a warm, positive and genuinely homely environment where mum is very happy and well cared for.

Nothing has been too much trouble. She gets her hair done every week. They have regular activities such as the music man and keep fit. My mum does not remember what she does or what goes on but I know and she is happy which is the main thing. I was able to accompany her to the zoo and staff made me very welcome. Great memory for me.

I'd rather be at home with my husband at times (he visits daily) and our two sons visit weekly. They explain why I need to be here, which I (often reluctantly) accept. At times there are visits from other friends and relatives.

My mum has had a fantastic experience staying at the home for the last year and a half. The manager Kristina and staff Paula and all the others have looked after and cared for her so well and she has really enjoyed staying here. She loved the food and the activities provided.

My mother had advanced dementia when she came to Lakeview (having stayed there for respite care occasionally before this). The care home managed her so well and kept her family regularly updated when we were not able to visit. Mum had almost no speech by the time she died but I always felt that the staff got the information they needed about her needs. Her room was warm and cosy.

We would be happy to recommend Newfield to anyone.

I would recommend Newfield Lodge to anyone looking at a Dementia Care setting for a loved one

Mum has stayed at Lakeview Lodge for over 2 years. I am happy with the care she is getting. Her room is very nice and the food is good.

All staff have been good and patient and soon got to grip's with my stepmum's needs and diet. The manager tries to get he involved in activities and trips out. She has settled in well and seems happy.

My Grandmother has been at Lakeview Lodge for four months now, and myself and the family are so happy with how quickly she has settled in. She has dementia and severe communication difficulties, but the staff are always so supportive and kind, treating her with genuine warmth and dignity. Having had a negative experience with a care home immediately proceeding her admission into Lakeview, we were apprehensive, thankfully this was quickly proven unjustified. I would certainly recommend Lakeview for loved ones with dementia.

The resident is well looked after, and is happy and settled, eats very well.

Mum's room is lovely, always clean and has a great view of Fairhaven Lake and the sea. Staff are always friendly and welcoming. The food is good and freshly prepared. The rooms downstairs are bright, and there is a nice atmosphere with televisions for residents to watch. Overall, it's a good home, and we are pleased we chose to bring our mum here.

My husband was safe, secure and well cared for during his two weeks staying at the Moorings whilst I recovered from surgery. I would not hesitate to use the services offered by this care home again in the future. Thanks go to all the staff at the Moorings from the top to the ladies who keep the home clean and fresh for residents and visitors alike.

My 2nd time for respite. Very pleased with everything. The staff are fantastic, for an 88-year-old Royal Air Force veteran. It was a lovely experience and hopefully will do it again so I will keep saving and see you again.

I was most welcomed into the Moorings Care Home, which I felt was a home from home experience. There a good, happy atmosphere within the home where it was clear that other residents felt at ease on a day to day basis. I was staying for a short period of time but totally satisfied by the end of the visit. Morning or night I felt secure in the knowledge that the home could help me should any problems arise. The home readily supported my request to assist with a vegan diet. Each and every resident (including myself) was treated with absolute care and dignity and I will be recommending family and friends to stay at the Moorings for a first class experience. The activities provided were fun!

He couldn’t have had better care than he had at The Moorings.

My mother had been staying at a different care home but as her mental health declined with the onset of dementia we decided that specific dementia care was needed. As Newfield Lodge is a sister home we decided it would be best to move my mum there. It was a great decision. The staff are so friendly to their guests and visitors and nothing seems too much trouble. My mum's room is great and spacious, the food served is excellent and there are many activities to stimulate guests. We are very pleased we chose Newfield Lodge. Highly recommended.

The staff are friendly and accommodating. Always have singers in, it's a good laugh.

I am forever grateful to the manager and his team. It's so nice to see my mum going out into the community.

When you arrive at Newfield Lodge, you are greeted by a warm, friendly staff member, they are easy to talk to and we feel they are an extension of our family. Mum has severe dementia and has been here for nearly 3 years, she is happy and settled. The staff are absolutely great with her, she's had health and emotional problems, the staff have fully supported her needs and have always kept us informed of any changes. We have been there when they've had entertainment and the residents, staff and us have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We've always been informed of any changes, activities or outings. Overall we feel Mum is getting the best care by being supported all the way. We praise and thank all the staff for their hard work.
