The specialist home environment has been designed to enhance the quality of life for people in their later years and incorporates features to promote reminiscence as therapy. This welcoming home is set in the attractive rural village of Adderbury, close to Banbury and offers residential, early-stage dementia and respite care.
The home has been designed with your wellbeing and comfort in mind. Cosy lounges are available to relax in, as are secure gardens to take advantage of sunny days and social activities take place daily for your enjoyment. If you would like a little more privacy, they have a family room and a summer house that both offer a peaceful oasis for visitors.
A talented chef and kitchen team prepare tasty, home-cooked meals. The freshly prepared, delicious dishes are carefully balanced to get the best nutritional value, and cater for individual dietary requirements and preferences. Seasonal produce is chosen whenever possible and of course, relatives and friends are always welcome to join.
The menus change daily and the kettle is always on, so hot drinks are available throughout the day.
You are free to take your meals in your room if you wish or you can join other residents and day care visitors in the main dining hall to enjoy your food in a more social environment.
The dedicated Activities Coordinator organises a wide programme of events around each person's requests, hobbies and interests. Staff will be delighted to assist you to continue with existing hobbies, as well as give you the opportunity to try something new if you would like to.
They make sure everyone can enjoy themselves to the fullest, be that with arts and crafts, a coffee morning or more individual pursuits. Visits from outside entertainers happen regularly and the home also has its own minibus for trips out and about. Each resident receives one-to-one time with the Activity Coordinator.

I visit once a week from 10am until 4pm. Sometimes it's noisy with other residents shouting. I like the fact that I can go into another quieter room, at times and watch TV. The staff are very attentive and kind. The food is very good.

My mother came into Lake House for respite after a fall at home initially for two weeks, and in that time, we realised she was not safe to return home. The care and support she has had is fantastic. All staff and management are so lovely. Nothing has been too much trouble for them. Within a week of Mum being there, she also realised she wasn't safe to return home and asked if she could stay there. She said it is so lovely and feels like home, which makes all the family very happy as we know she is safe and well looked after.
I'm so pleased your mother has come to feel at home with us at Lake House. Thank you for your kind words and for taking the time to share your family's experience - I'm sure it will be reassuring to others in a similar situation.
Mum is very happy at Lake House where she receives excellent care. Staff are friendly and welcoming and are attentive showing dignity and respect. Thanks to the staff's encouragement. Mum has rediscovered how to socialise again which for me is so rewarding, I have my mum back.

What kind words, thank you! We really appreciate you taking the time to submit a review. I'm so pleased that your mum's enjoying her time at Lake House and that you have seen such a marked difference in her. I will pass on your comments to the home manager to share with the team as I know they love to hear them.
Lake House is a very nice care home. The thing I like is you are allowed to stay in your room if you like. You can have people come and see you.

Support is fine in every area including encouragement to eat food which is good, and organised activities to help avoid boredom and including crafts and quizzes.
My grandmother has been placed in an environment where she feels happy, and safe and has helpful staff who are always there for her.

For me, it's all about the quality of care and knowing that your loved one is well looked after when you can't be there. The staff are friendly and go the extra mile to make residents feel that they matter, that they feel happy and supported. This is because the staff are genuinely interested in the residents' lives, what they used to do, and who their family members are. The interaction I have seen between all staff and residents radiates warmth and fun. Would definitely recommend.
Both my mum and dad came here for care. They both have had 5 star care and I would recommend it very highly to anyone. Sadly my dad passed away the palliative care he received was 5 star and the staff go above and beyond for all the residents here at Lake House.

Very happy with all the care and support I have received since I came to Lake House with my husband and his care and support too.

The quality of the care staff is so good more caring than other organisations I have dealt with. The food is excellent. The whole care home is very clean and there are no plastic armchairs. Laundry is done regularly. The staff are so friendly and have time to talk to both residents and relatives.

Since I have been coming here I have found all the staff very helpful and friendly. All the carers answer any questions I have. Out of the care homes, I visited this one is wonderful. I would have no problem recommending it to anyone. Thank you for all your help and assistance.

When my mother first came to Lake House she was very unsettled. The staff were so patient with her and eventually helped her to settle here. The care given to her is excellent so the anxiety the family were experiencing initially soon disappeared. Mum seems very happy.

I have been here nearly four weeks. The management is lovely, she runs a good ship. I was in another place. It is nice here but the same over there.

A big thank you to all at Lake House, Adderbury, for looking after me for a week's respite, the staff were so kind in all that was needed, the food was excellent, and the accommodation was the same, looking forward to going back in eight weeks time, a big thank you to all.

I was worried and took a lot of persuading that my husband needed more care than I could provide, but it was a good decision to move him into Lake House. His walking and talking have improved tremendously. The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them to deal with

Alexandra (Alex) joined the Trust in April 2018 as a Trainee Home Manager and quickly advanced to become the Home Manager of Lake House in December 2018.
Her career in care began in 2008 as a domiciliary carer. Over the years, Alex has progressed through various roles, eventually becoming a registered Domiciliary Care Manager. At that point, she decided to take her career in a new direction by applying her skills and experience to the care home sector. This led her to apply for and secure the Trainee Home Manager position. Alex holds a Level 5 qualification in Care Management and is currently pursuing a degree in social care through the Open University.
Outside of her role at Lake House, Alex enjoys spending time with her young family, walking her dog, and exploring the countryside.

Sarah is Lake House’s Admin Assistant and will be the first to offer a very warm welcome to all visitors. She joined Lake House in 2015 and brought with her many years’ experience of working in care and nursing. Along with nursing qualifications, Sarah holds an NVQ Level 4 (Management) and Certificate in Health and Social Services Management.
Sarah enjoys the varied and busy nature of her role; whether she is organising staff rotas, reviewing residents’ financial accounts or meeting a new resident and their family, Sarah is often the go-to person for information in the home and she is always willing to assist where she can.
Sarah feels privileged to work in the residents’ home and is dedicated to fulfilling residents’ wishes, whether that involves popping to the shop for them or something as simple as making them a cup of tea. She even donned an Easter bunny onesie and hopped around the home for their Easter party. For someone who, by her own admission, “doesn’t do fancy dress”, this speaks volumes about the lengths that Sarah will go to for the home!
