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 never mind visiting my friend in this care home, the staff are always welcoming and helpful. They all seem to show genuine care for their residents and try to fulfil their needs as best they can. They all seem very respectful.

Unfortunately, a lot of the residents have Alzheimer's and Dad found it difficult trying to have conversations with other residents, not a fault of Lake House.

From our initial contact the staff were polite, courteous and willing to help, despite being in the throws of a fundraising day. The atmosphere was immediately welcoming and since our first visit, the management have been unfailingly supportive.
After an unsettling move into the home, my father has settled well into the daily routine, whilst still maintaining his independence regarding meal times and his privacy.
Overall our family's experience of Lake House has been positive, however our connection is only weeks old.
My uncle has resided at Lake House for 2 weeks and as far as I can see has been treated very well. The manager and assistant manager have been most helpful in very difficult circumstances. The food provided is of a good standard. The accommodation and cleanliness of Lake House is superb.

Poor standard taking my wife for one week to give me respite. Things lost, teeth, despite telling staff to be aware, shoes, trousers (one pair) had to do return trip for other items. Told I should have put a label on teeth by senior member of staff. How stupid is that, couldn't trust to give medication. Admin is fine and helpful but others would not recommend.

My father has been in Lake House for respite care for a few weeks and I must say its made all the difference. At a time that was difficult for him to accept going to stay and having recently lost his wife of 62 years, the staff have made him feel at home and well cared for. Thank you to you all.

Mum has been at Lake House for ten months and is beginning to settle in and feel at home. The care is excellent and the staff work hard to meet her needs and always respond to requests and see to her well-being. I like the relaxed and friendly atmosphere around the home and family members are always greeted with friendly smiles and can always approach staff about anything. Nothing is too much trouble. I can rely on Lake House informing me about mum's progress or any difficulties she might have. The activities don't always suit her, I think residents should be taken out to be more active but Lake House does what it can within their resources. The grounds are lovely and mum is able to work in the vegetable garden and is given some responsibility and is happy. I am confident we made a good choice in Lake House knowing she is happy and safe.
Very good.
Very good.
From the moment I stepped into Lake House I had a warm, positive feeling. The staff were welcoming, happy, having fun with the patients and always willing to help. I felt very comfortable with mum staying at Lake House. They catered for her every need, especially her wakeful nights where staff...
Thank you the management and all the wonderful staff at Lake House who always went above and beyond their roles.

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!
