  • Lakeview Care Home, Walsall
As a leading provider of nursing care for elderly people with dementia, complex dementia, stroke, progressive neurological illnesses and enduring mental health needs. The home provides bespoke enablement care for people with a variety of shorter-term needs as well as long-term nursing care.

At Lakeview Care Home, they have the expertise and trained staff available to provide enablement health beds to people needing short-term support. These transitional placements in to the caring and secure environment of a specialist care facility have proved to be very successful with NHS partners and warmly received by short stay residents.

Working in partnership with local Trusts, they provide a number of enablement health beds for elderly residents across a number of scenarios, including:

Elderly people who are ready for discharge but are awaiting a full social services package to be put in place before going.

Elderly people who are on the road to full recovery but need some additional physiotherapy and/or occupational therapy support on a short-term basis to rebuild confidence and skills before going home.

Elderly people who require a long-term placement who can be cared for in an enablement health bed, rather than block a badly needed NHS bed, while their permanent placement is being finalised

Their service includes providing nursing care for people with complex dementias, those who have had strokes or are dealing with progressive neurological illnesses and also palliative care for residents who are reaching the end of their life.

By providing their nursing service from within the Lakeview Care Home complex, staff are able to provide a clear pathway to/from specialist complex dementia or residential, respite and enablement services. Residents can step up/step down as required rather than having to transfer to an alternative health or care setting.

The only thing I can honestly put a negative is the laundry as there seem to set hubby's clothes wrong, even though they are labelled with his name.

Visited Sunday 16th February 25 moved here 19th February 25. We came and looked around Lakeview home first, and thought how homely and friendly all the staff was, explained on how things were run, me and my son was happy for my husband to be transfer here. When we came to see him he was in Derwent,
all the nurse's and carer's was very friendly and helpful, and my husband settle in. All the staff nurses' carers are brilliant. Nothing too much trouble always their to offer help when needed, we picked the best home for my husband, and happy for him to be there.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to the wonderful team on Loweswater for the outstanding care they provided to our dear friend. From the moment she arrived, the staff showed immense compassion, patience and professionalism ,ensuring that she was treated with dignity and respect.
My friend
had dementia and other complex health conditions, yet the care team managed her needs with such kindness and expertise, making her feel safe and comfortable at all times.
The warmth and dedication of the staff brought great comfort not only to her to but also to us, knowing she was safe and in such capable hands.
We can not thank all the staff enough for the love and support they showed her in the nearly 3 years she was in there care and for making her last chapter one filled with dignity and compassion.

My Dad was in Lake view care home for almost 8 years. Initially on Kirby unit and then Ullswater.
During this time i can honestly say that the care he recieved was exeptional.
Everyone treated him with such kindness and dignity.
Not all care homes have this level of care, if it wasnt for Lakeview
we would have lost my Dad along time ago. Every effort is made to ensure each patient lives in the very best way possible.
Visiting Dad was always a pleasure, leaving him never a worry as we knew that the team would be there for him 100%. You can not ask for more.
We lost my Dad in January, all the team at Lakeview supported us through this difficult time, we grieved together.
We will be forever grateful for the love and care given to my Dad.

I was an emotional wreck having to be put in the position of finding a care home for my precious mum, who was diagnosed with end of life and I had to face it that home care just wasn't enough. I saw some pretty grim places until I found Lakeview Care Home. Her room was lovely, big windows overlooking
farmland. All of the staff were exceptional, they treated her with such care and dignity, I knew she was in safe hands. Also, thank you to all the staff for their kindness they showed to my brother and me too. Anyone in agony over choosing a care home then please visit Lakeview, you won't be disappointed.

Reply from Jasbir Singh, Care Home Manager at Lakeview Care Home

My mom is in the Keswick unit. My mother has been there for nearly two years now and presented originally with great confusion and aggression, the staff handled her perfectly.
They didn't drug her quietly or strap her down (as I've seen in other institutions) they simply took the verbal abuse and
carefully controlled her more violent episodes, I never saw her with bruises.
The rooms are very basic and small, but the important thing is that she's treated well and is happy now.

My mother had complex care needs due to her deteriorating mental capacity and moved into the Loweswater wing at Lakeview Care Home in September.
She passed away in the middle of December but in the short time she was at Lakeview I saw firsthand the patience, care and compassion she received, despite
being a difficult customer. I am really grateful to the team for the care she received.

I was invited to and attended the Christmas party at Ullswater at Lakeview. The staff were fabulous throughout. Very welcoming and friendly and it was lovely to see the rapport they had with the residents. They made the meal, which was excellent, a very festive and joyful occasion and were caring and
professional throughout. Thank you for inviting me and thank you for all the fabulous work that you do.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.631)

Review Score Change Log

Please note changes are only recorded per day, so if 2 or more changes occur in the same day, it will only show the result from all the changes, not an individual breakdown of all the changes

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.631) out of 10 for Lakeview Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.631 for Lakeview Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (364 Excellents x 5) + (111 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 504 Ratings = 4.631

  • 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 Lakeview Care Home is based on 41 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 151 registered maximum number of service users is 30.2, which has been reached with 41 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.
