I am satisfied with the care my brother gets. I do have concerns about how long things take to be fixed eg toilet, lift, bathroom. I researched a number of care homes for my brother and found Lakelands the most suitable. My brother does praise the staff, they do work hard, he is not one to complain.

My dad was a resident at Lakelands from December 2017 to May 2019. My family were very happy with the care and compassion he received there, staff very friendly and the care given to my dad, I couldn't fault. I particularly liked that they made mealtimes special, tables set nicely with table cloths,
serviettes, crockery etc and the food given was appropriate to their age group.
We did move Dad to another care home, but only because it was nearer to us and more than halved the journey to the home. I would not hesitate to recommend Lakelands and if it had been nearer to us, he would still be there.

My 96-year-old Grandma went to Lakelands in April of this year for respite.
Due to a series of health setbacks my Grandma is still a resident there which for us as a family, spread far and near, it is a comfort to know she has 24-hour assistance and her daily living needs are being tended to in our
absence. The home is well maintained, some of the decor is a bit tired and dated but the fundamentals are by far way ahead. The staff are great, nothing is too much trouble, they send regular emails of any changes to my Grans needs. My Gran has recently moved to a larger room which is better suited as her health requires a number of aids that take up precious space.
The manager is lovely and leads her team well. I would recommend Lakelands without a second thought. They are a wonderful group of caregivers and should be highlighted for the care given with dignity and respect at all times. We are so very happy with Lakelands, we sent a referral to CQC to say how well run the home is.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.775)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.775) out of 10 for Lakelands is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.775 for Lakelands is calculated as follows: ( (102 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.775

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lakelands is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
