There sems to be excellent care for my friend with an understanding of her needs. When I visit, which is every Wednesday, we are always provided with tea and a cake.
She is wheelchair bound but there are carers who will move her around when required. She likes to be with others in the lounge although
not often able to participate. Sometimes she is in her room but doesn't know why (short term memory very bad).
Sometimes she is also in bed but doesn't know why but it doesn't bother her.
I am always welcome and the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Due to family being in hospital or overseas, we arranged for my father to stay at Lakeside for a weeks respite. However, he so much enjoyed the view from his bedroom window, the kindness and manner of the staff that he requested to stay on for a further week, What is more he has now booked in for a

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband was a resident of the Nursing Home from 6th December 2024 until he sadly passed away on the 16th July 2025.
It is a very difficult decision for a family to make, but as soon as my Step Daughter viewed the home, she knew that this was the one for her father.
His room overlooked the lake
which was very comforting for him as he loved nature and wildlife and made his time there all the more special and something that we will cherish.
The staff are extremely friendly and supportive, encouraging all the residents to participate in the many and varied activities that are organised for them.
The home is maintained to a very high standard and the quality of the meals and beautiful cakes are exceptional.
All staff and doctors are reactive, caring and responsive to the concerns a family might have about the welfare of their loved one and, as in our case, the compassion that was shown to both my husband his daughter and myself in his last few days was exemplary

Review from K L (Son of Resident) published on 8 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has been with Lakeside over two years now. Lakeside stepped up from a family run business to a corporately run part of a wider group in this period.
It sounds trite or that I'm taking for granted the care and consideration mum has received at Lakeside. But it's rather that I've never had cause
to be concerned at mum's care.
Mum is respected as an independent thinker. Her views are sought and acted upon. The care, which now includes FNC, is organised and delivered diligently, by highly trained and motivated staff. Mum's care plan is rigorously reviewed and maintained. Where there are questions, they are addressed.
Lakeside management and Directors have demonstrated their commitment to mum's best interests in the transition from mum being able to pay her own fees to her being a depleted funder who required local authority funding. It was the Lakeside management and directors who supported me in delivering mum's ability to stay in the place she calls home. Thankyou.

As family we were generally very happy with Mum's care. We feel the residents that are unable to get to the main lounge lack opportunity to have activities to stimulate them. The room layout isn't helpful to staff and movement of equipment.
Overall, great staff, too much food. Improvements are ongoing
and noticeable. I would and will recommend in future.

Mom was received into Lakeside Care Home on the 8th of December 2023 and given a very nice room overlooking the lake. She sadly passed away on the 31st of December. In the short time that Mom resided at Lakeside, she was trusted with kindness, respect and attention to detail. As her daughter, it was
very reassuring to know that Mom was being properly looked after. My husband and I were particularly struck by the home's friendly atmosphere and the staff's caring attitude. In conclusion, we trust that Lakeside Care Home's high standards will be maintained under its new ownership.

Mum lived at Lakeside for three and a half years before her death a few weeks ago on her 99th birthday.
The staff and management have been magnificent during that time, especially during the last few months when she was bedbound. She developed strong bonds with many members of staff. The family were
always confident she was safe, warm, very well-fed and comfortable.

Absolutely agree with all that the previous reviewer said - such kindness, compassion, professionalism and with great humour too within a beautiful setting - to borrow my mum’s phrase “Look at my view”. Mum settled in straight away and spent the last 9 months of her life here (Dad had previously been
in for respite). They cared for her brilliantly - and us too - becoming part of her family. Mum wasn’t straightforward as she had various medical problems including type 1 diabetes. We are so very grateful. Thank you, to the manager and all your amazing staff! We do miss visiting.

My father arrived at Lakeside Care Home in early January and very quickly settled in thanks to all the staff at Lakeside. Enjoying meals in the dining room with other residents and a few of the activities! Unfortunately, my father's health deteriorated and had to spend a lot of time in his room! The
staff treated my father with kindness, dignity, compassion and care. Lakeside Care home is set on the edge of a beautiful lake with an abundance of wildlife to view from the gardens or balcony. The food choices are varied and tasty and the interior is clean and tastefully decorated! All of the staff are supportive caring and professional but also interact with the residents in a fun and friendly way.

It is such a relief that Mum has settled into Lakeside Care Centre so well. After 70 years of being in her own home, she had to face the prospect of leaving quite suddenly. Naturally, this was a very emotional time. However, the carers and staff at Lakeside have been wonderful. She is treated with
care and dignity at all times. Mum has a lovely room overlooking the lake and being an early riser, she is still able to watch the sun come up which she always did at home. Nature and wildlife are important to her, so watching all the activity on the lake gives her joy. She enjoys the food and partakes in some of the activities even though she is a quiet person. Thank you to everyone at Lakeside for making this difficult journey so much easier for Mum.

My mother came to Lakeside about a year ago, having started to suffer with old age related memory problems and mobility. Having suffered a fall and a broken hip the decision had to be made about which care home, luckily we were allocated Lakeside.
The home is in a beautiful setting, and the staff could
not be more caring and courteous, from the cleaning staff up to the managers, all of them have worked hard in difficult situations to make my mother welcome and as at home as possible. The whole building is always clean and smells lovely, with a smiling receptionist to greet you.
I would not hesitate to recommend Lakeside to anyone considering a Care Home.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.480)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.480) out of 10 for Lakeside Watermead Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.655 for Lakeside Watermead Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 148 Ratings = 4.655
  2. 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 4.825 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lakeside Watermead Care Home is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 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 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.825
    2. 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
