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.

Review from Anthony L (Son of Resident) published on 6 February 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Staff seem very caring and considerate. The housekeeping throughout the site is excellent. Like all care homes some residents have some level of dementia and this is wearing on residents who are fully aware, and regularly lose possessions taken by these people. Overall there is often not enough mobility
aids like transit chairs to get residents to the dining room, in which case my dad's transit chair gets taken and used by staff moving other residents. Generally the food is to a fairly high standard, although the tea supplied is quite insipid and my father stopped drinking it.

The care given is professional, supportive, friendly and sympathetic.
The patients come to view the staff as friends who try to stimulate them with various activities appropriate to their condition.
The staff take into account patients' individual foibles and needs.
Relatives are continually updated
regarding the patients.
Overall, a supportive experience, giving confidence in the care being received.

My father moved to Lakeview care home in May 2024. He's settled really well and the staff made us all feel welcomed.
The home is bright and clean, and every effort has been made to make it feel like a home away from home. There are activities, such as gardening and crafts, and the food is amazing too!

As a family we are very happy with the care our mum receives at Lakeview. The staff are very caring and they get to know the residents well. They are also friendly and supportive to our dad who visits daily.
The unit manager is always very responsive to emails regarding any concerns or queries we have.

It's a very difficult and worrying time when a family member has to go into care, what will the level of care be like? How will the staff treat them? Will they be looked after properly? Fortunately there was no need to worry. The level of care is excellent. The staff are caring, kind, thoughtful and
professional. They remember my dad's likes and dislikes. He is definitely looked after properly. They are a great team.

I cannot thank the staff on Keswick enough, since my husband was admitted to the unit the staff have treated him with nothing but love and care. They go above and beyond for all the residents. I can now sleep at night knowing he is well looked after and in good hands. He looks so well, he always looks
clean and tidy. The girls do such a good job with him, the food is great and the activities they offer are good too. I hope this is now his forever home, I wouldn't change it.

Mum came for her third visit for respite.
Staff have now got to know her better and whilst she has fairly complex needs they looked after her well. When I leave her at Lakeside I feel she is in safe hands and I worry less the more times she visits on respite. Accommodation and food are very good and
the staff are always upbeat and positive. They respond very quickly to queries/requests when visiting.
On the organisation/administrative side I feel this is very good with strong understanding and responses.

I have nothing but respect for all staff on Kendal where my husband is a resident. They are kind, jolly and generous with their time. My husband is shown kindness and given excellent care and attention and treated with respect and dignity. They pay him attention when he speaks and when he doesn't and
always make sure he is happy both physically and mentally. He gets plenty of exercise and entertainment. He is always clean and dry. Kendal is clean and sunny and he has access to beautiful gardens. My husband is happy. The staff are wonderful and I cannot praise them highly enough, nor thank them enough. They are all heroes.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Excellent service from all staff. It was a very pleasant experience to receive a warm friendly greeting on arrival and the help to get Mom settled in. The care for my mom shows that the staff are very well trained and are passionate in their care for the residents, something that can be very challenging
at times. In the limited time Mom has been there there is an obvious improvement in Mom's mood, appetite and general wellbeing.
It was not an easy decision to place Mom into a care home but a sudden change in Mom's physical health accelerated her dementia meaning care at home was not an option. She is now receiving the care and attention that she needs.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.636)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.636) out of 10 for Lakeview Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.636 for Lakeview Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (371 Excellents x 5) + (115 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 514 Ratings = 4.636
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lakeview Care Home is based on 42 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 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
    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 151 registered maximum number of service users is 30.2, which has been reached with 42 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.
