My auntie resided at this home for two years. When she first arrived, she was in very poor health. With the excellent care provided by the staff, her health improved greatly and after a couple of months, she was able to join in with the daily activities. I found the staff to be friendly and helpful. If ever there was a problem with my Auntie's health a member of staff would contact me immediately. The personal care she received was excellent and always with dignity.
Staff very cheerful and obliging. Food sufficient and well presented. Patients regularly changed of clothing.

The home is clear and staff genuinely care for and build a rapport with residents. There is a high level of commitment to providing a positive experience and constructive activity.
We have had a few issues but the management have dealt with these swiftly and with great thoroughness, which has been very pleasing and reassuring.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Lakeside as somewhere for people with dementia or other serious mental illness.

Everyone is always made welcome and made to feel part of the 'Lakeside family'. The needs of every individual are considered and catered for to the best of everyone's ability and every effort is made to make life interesting and stimulating for the residents. Care does not cease if a resident has to be admitted or taken to hospital for any reason. I have recommended 'Lakeside' to a family and they are very satisfied with the ethos-care provided.
My mother was in another home before Lakeside and I feel her care at Lakeside was far superior from what we had received. The staff work as a team, are very compassionate and nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff.

I have no hesitation in recommending Lakeside.
My mother was in Lakeside for 12 years and had generally really good care. My friend who is only 75 years is currently a resident and is cared for as best can be - not many care homes would be able to cope with her particular issues but the manager and his team give excellent service.

The food is good and varied. The home has a good feel about it.

I've known Lakeside since 1985, when my aunt was a resident and have always been impressed by the friendly and professional atmosphere. I am now on the residents committee as I want to continue to support them.

At Lakeside Nursing Home, we are dedicated to providing compassionate, high-quality care in a warm and welcoming environment where every resident feels safe, valued, and truly at home.
As a small, friendly, family-run nursing home specialising in dementia care, we focus on creating a close-knit community where residents are known as individuals and supported with dignity, kindness, and respect.
I’m Debbie, the manager at Lakeside. I have been part of the management team here for 14 years, including the last 10 years as manager. During that time, we have built a fantastic, dedicated team that shares a genuine passion for caring for our residents.
Many of our staff stay with us long-term, which creates consistency and familiarity for residents. We are also very proud that several members of our care team have progressed into nursing careers and later returned to Lakeside as qualified nurses, something that reflects the supportive culture within our home.
We believe strongly in maintaining an open-door approach for residents, families, and friends. Excellent communication and trust are at the heart of what we do, and there is always someone available to listen, help, or offer reassurance.
From the moment you walk through our doors, you will experience the warmth, professionalism, and sense of community that make Lakeside such a special place to live and work.
