Lakeside Nursing Home

As a wife fighting for my husband's dignity, finding Lakeside has been nothing short of a miracle.

The clinical and care team are exceptional, consistent, compassionate and professional. Familiar faces every day gives us the security we feared we'd never find again.

The activities coordinator is a gem, involves residents and families alike, making us feel truly connected.

Fresh, nutritious and delicious meals are prepared daily. The kitchen is immaculate, spotlessly clean and managed with pride.

Management are hands-on and know every resident by name. Even the owner is actively present, that personal investment is rare and means everything.

My husband's room is thoughtfully arranged and staff treat his belongings with genuine respect. He is a person here, not just a resident.

Most importantly, I feel safe! The premises are secure and we have never had a single safety concern here.

Lakeside gave us back something we thought we'd lost peace.

A wife who can finally rest

After a deeply traumatic experience at a previous home marked by poor care and serious safeguarding failures we arrived at Lakeside in April broken, frightened, and desperate for safety. We found it!

We sincerely apologise to the wonderful Lakeside team. The trauma my dad endured has left him with challenging behaviour that they have had to manage with patience and skill, a burden they should never have inherited. They have handled it with grace.

For the first time in so long, our family can breathe. My dad is safe, nurtured, and truly cared for as an individual. Their person-centred approach has given him back his dignity and given us back our peace of mind.

We are forever grateful. Lakeside haven't just cared for my dad they've helped heal our whole family!

I cannot thank them enough for the love and support they showed my Dad and us during his time with them.

My Dad spent his final days at Lakeside after being at their sister home. The staff couldn't have done enough for us as a family and Dad's care was exceptional in keeping him comfortable and they showed genuine care, compassion and dignity. Lakeside is truly being like part of a family. It made some very difficult days a much easier process. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lakeside for your loved ones.

Lakeside is a delightful care home, clean and efficient with extremely friendly staff. Mum has been there just over a year now and I'm delighted with care she has been given. She has a lovely room and the home arranged to have pictures that she painted before her dementia put on her walls. All in all the service is very personal even though mum is pretty much non verbal. I am so pleased that there was a room available at Lakeside when we needed it.

The management of my brother's medical condition is constantly monitored by the nurses, which has improved his quality of life to no end. I would thoroughly recommend this home.

I have been connected with Lakeside since 2002, when my mother became a resident, until she passed away there in 2014. She was so well looked after and happy there. Since then I have had continuous connection with Lakeside as three of my friends have been residents and one is currently in her 10th year with them. Some of the staff that I have known and grown to love and admire for the worth they do and the care they show to residents and families and the fact that several of the staff, who have moved on, still come back to share in activities. Lakeside is a loving, caring home, which is born out by the families and residents who are made to feel valued. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home.

On a personal note, my stress levels have gone down knowing that my father is in good hands 24 hours a day.

When looking for a home for Mum (and Dad) I viewed lots of Nursing Homes in the area and it had to be Lakeside!

My mum resided at Lakeside from Feb 2024 - Dec 2025 when she sadly passed away, I can honestly say that I was always happy with Lakeside nursing home they always treated mum with dignity and care she deserved right up until the very end.

I am so thankful and grateful for everyone at the Lakeside Nursing home who looked after my mother for a week. After caring for her for nearly 3 years without a break, I needed a break and I hesitated for a long time especially with her not speaking English and I'm so glad I choose them. She was cared and loved by everyone, I was left reassured that she was in the best hands and I have not seen my mother happy, relaxed and full of joy in a long time and from the bottom of my heart - thank you to every staff member who made a difference to her short stay. I can't recommend them enough.

My mum has been at Lakeside for many years now. The staff are always very kind and caring to us and to mum. They are also very good at including family and friends into Lakeside by having events and encouraging involvement. They include us in care planning and are supportive in helping with health and financial meetings and concerns.

After looking at several care homes, I knew this was the one. The homely feel, the calm and smiling staff - the contented residence. The staff treat everyone with respect and politeness. The garden is a relaxing peaceful place to sit or look out upon. Everyone is made welcome and you can call or visit at any time. My aunt feels safe and well looked after. In comfort. Plus it is near to a beautiful lake and park and not too far away from me, which is great.

Lakeside staff were tremendous in taking care of my father. They showed true patience in dealing with his dementia and left no stone unturned when it came to his care needs. Every time I visited Lakeside unannounced, dad always looked impeccably clean, alongside his room, therefore, highlighting very high standards of cleanliness! The food presented was of a good standard, too. Whenever there were any medical incidents regarding dad; the staff always remained empathetic and professional. Overall, I always felt like I was part of a family.

I chose Lakeside for my husband after many viewings and spending considerable time with the manager and staff, and I can confidently say it was the right decision. From the beginning, it was clear that the standard of care provided is high, with genuine attention and warmth shown to each resident. One of the things I appreciate most is the thoughtful setup of the lounge-residents are seated in a social, inclusive way, rather than around the edges, and the television is rarely on, encouraging more meaningful interaction. As someone who finds it emotionally difficult having my husband in a care home, I have found the management team incredibly supportive, always ready to listen and offer reassurance. The care staff are consistently friendly, approachable, and attentive. Lakeside feels like a family home, with regular family events that bring us together and allow us to connect with other families in similar situations.

My father has been a resident at Lakeside Nursing Home for the last two years. He was previously a resident at Lakeside's sister care home but unfortunately, his dementia and general health deteriorated to the point where he needed more specialised nursing care. I've always been extremely pleased with the care that my father has received at Lakeside by all the staff and management alike. He always has a cup of tea in front of him no matter what time I visit and it's these little things that always puts me at ease. I would thoroughly recommend any relative who requires a placement for a loved one to visit.

The moment my Dad arrived, he was treated with the utmost kindness, respect, and professionalism. The staff goes above and beyond to ensure that residents feel comfortable, safe, and truly at home.

The caregivers, nurses, and support staff are not only highly skilled but also incredibly compassionate. They take the time to engage with residents to provide personalised care, and create a warm and welcoming environment. It gives our family great peace of mind knowing that my Dad is in such capable and caring hands.

The facility is always clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed for the comfort of residents. The activities and social interactions provided have greatly improved my dad's quality of life.

I am truly grateful to the entire team for their dedication and hard work. If you are looking for a place where your loved one will be treated with dignity and kindness.

My mum has been in the nursing home for a few months now. She was originally in the "sister" care home. Because we trusted the Manager so much, we moved mum to Lakeside when she needed more care. The care and nurses are wonderful at Lakeside - mum is always so clean and well cared for. The staff spend time with her, encouraging her to eat and communicating with her. I was so worried about choosing a nursing home - but so pleased with our choice.

A massive big thank you to you all, you all do an amazing job.

There are not enough stars to rate Lakeside by myself, my brother, and son's opinion. We'd give them 100 stars if we could. When it came to the end of Mum's life every aspect was handled so delicately the love and care our mum received was palpable, we cannot thank you enough for loving and caring for our mum and you will all be sorely missed. Thank you all so much kind regards.
