Review from Christine H (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 May 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mum has been at Lakeview for a year now and her care has been outstanding.
She recently had a care review and the manager was excellent explaining all the care Mum receives and what her care needs are. All the care records are kept up to date and my sister and I are informed if Mum is unwell and kept up to date with any changes.
All staff are professional and caring. My mum is unable to hear so communication is difficult but they communicate using written words.

Mum went to Lakeview just before the 1st lockdown due to covid, this was the best decision we made as she is happy and I know she is well cared for. Thank you to all at Lakeview.

Review from Susan M (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 February 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum joined the residents of Lakeview Lodge a few weeks before Lockdown, so I was fortunate to be able to see that she was settled. It was immediately obvious how patient and caring the staff were. It was also obvious, in the way they engaged with the residents and the provision of interactive activities, that the staff were dementia trained. I was delighted that the provision was levelled for my mum's needs and ability and that Mum would be stimulated as and when she was able.
During Lockdown I was sent photos of Mum making jam tarts and learning how to make a pom-pom. I also had short videos of her, blowing candles out on her birthday cake and the carers singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to her. Other short videos showed Mum laughing and chatting with the carers. They were lovely for me to see and helped me to come to terms with the fact, that although I couldn’t visit my mum, I knew with certainty that she was happy and being well cared for.

Review from Bill W (Husband of Resident) published on 12 February 2021 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My wife was diagnosed with rapid onset dementia and entered Lakeview in April 2020 just as lockdown started, initially for respite care. Covid restrictions have meant that visiting has subsequently been extremely difficult for both of us but the staff couldn't have been nicer. The manager is approachable, responsive and efficient. The carers appear kind and motivated to make residents as comfortable as possible, always helpful. The room is pleasant and the accommodation is generally clean and well maintained. Difficult for me to comment on food or activities but everyone seems happy and settled.
If there can be any positive aspect at all to this situation it is that I am able to be confident she is safe, secure and well cared for.

Overall Experience
My wife stayed at Lakeview Lodge from July 2020 until December 2020, I found all members of staff to be helpful, caring to my wife’s needs.
They made the family feel welcome and informed as much as COVID 19 restrictions would allow.
There were personal bonds made between my wife and staff, that helped her settle and feel safe.

Review from Judith S (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 July 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
As a family, we had to take the difficult decision in early 2019 for Mum to become a permanent resident of Lakeview after spending respite care there on a few occasions. We have never looked back, knowing we have done the right thing to enable her to enjoy the next chapter in her life. The staff are fantastic, the food excellent, Mum's care is perfect and she enjoys all activities, especially music which brings her so much joy. Thank you, Lakeview and especially during the difficult Covid-19 situation. We would highly recommend your care home to others.

Review from Hayley T (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 4 June 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
We are really happy with Lakeview Lodge, it was a very hard decision to make to move my nana here in January, (previously she lived with myself and my mum). Nana first went in for 3 weeks respite but once we saw how well she settled, as a family we decided it was the right time to make things more permanent. Unfortunately not long after, lockdown happened, which meant we couldn’t visit her, which was hard for us and Nana and between me, mum and my other sisters we tried to see her at least every other day to help her adjust. The care the staff have shown her and us throughout the coronavirus has been brilliant, we are kept fully updated at all times either by phone or email. Nothing is too much trouble when you ring to see how she is and staff even arranged a video chat for us. We love the FaceBook updates and photos where we can see all the fabulous activities you do and see how happy all the residents are.

Review from Steve H (Son of Resident) published on 4 June 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Dad originally came to Lakeview Lodge Rest Home, for respite for Mum, just prior to COVID-19 restrictions coming into force. After 65yrs marriage, together all the time, it was gut-wrenching for him to leave home. Dad settled well, undoubtedly due to the staff at the home delivering outstanding care, both for him and the consideration shown for Mum and the family when we are constantly checking on his well-being. Nothing is too much trouble.
Dad's health and well-being has improved dramatically despite his vascular dementia; so has Mum's now the stress and worry of caring for him alone at home have been taken away. There have been blips along the way but we have been kept fully informed of his treatment and condition. He is now to make his residency permanent - a great relief to the whole family. Hopefully soon we will be able to visit him and also thank the staff team in person.

Review from Dawn D (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 May 2020 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum has been in this care home for nearly two years. Since Christmas, there has been a change in her dementia and the staff have been excellent in working with us and the medical services to get Mum stable again. The new manager has put a lot of new ideas in place and the facilities have improved as a result.
I would recommend this care home and do when asked about dementia care.

Review from John P (Son of Resident) published on 7 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
I am the son of a resident and in my opinion, I think the care home is OK in most terms. There is a question about how people can be able to walk about at night going from room to room as my father experienced when, twice, a lady has come into his bedroom late at night. The family are a bit concerned about this, everything else, he is very happy to be here.

Review from Adam J (Son of Resident) published on 9 October 2018 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum came to stay at Lakeview for respite when we were going on holiday for an extended period. From the moment we made initial contact to the moment mum left we felt like we were in very good hands indeed. Mum has a lot of needs and is quite a demanding person, but the team at Lakeview Lodge coped with her very well and mum was very happy whilst she was there. I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending the place.

Overall Experience
My mum really enjoyed her stay of two weeks at Lake View. She said the staff were helpful and kind. The management was also very helpful and caring. It's the second visit in two years and mum and myself, as her daughter, am happy with the care given.
The extra care and help given to mum was also wonderful with the love, care and commitment she was shown.

The residents are well fed. Staff are friendly.
What is missing is a total lack of stimulation for the residents. No jigsaws being done, no get together for a sing song.
