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 of care my mum received on Buttermede over the last few years, especially since being in the care of one carer in particular.


Mum's carer has gone beyond the duties of caring for my mum especially during the last few months of Mum's life. She has been consistently happy to allow me and my

family to receive video calls so I could see Mum every week since her taking a turn for the worst in April. She has talked to Mum and I know she was very close to her. Thank you, to Mum's carer and the team for making Mum's last few weeks bearable for her and of course for me. I do not know what the care home would do without someone like her and I think she should be recognised as an outstanding member of your team. Please forward all our thanks to Buttermede and the staff on reception .

My mom has been in this home for a few years. I think the staff are all very good. They have all treated my mom as well as they could. I think they have coped really well through this pandemic. We don't have any problems with the home at all.

My mom has been in Lakeview Care Home for three years now and it has been such a relief for me knowing that she is safe. The staff are brilliant and have always gone above and beyond. Throughout Covid-19 the staff have exceeded all expectations. The staff treat my mom like a person not a statistic.
I can’t thank them enough for the excellent service they provide day in, day out!

Review from Beryl R (Wife of Resident) published on 16 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband went into Lakeview in January 2020 due to his deteriorating dementia condition. From the time he became a resident it was clear the care, love and understanding at this care home were first class.


We received constant updates about his condition throughout the pandemic, obviously due

to not being able to see him.


When he suddenly took a turn for the worst, the staff were incredible and although sadly he did not survive, the dignity in which they managed the situation was outstanding.


Cards, flowers and even contact now has been maintained showing me he wasn't just a resident he was cared for, loved and is now missed.


We will always be grateful.

What a delightful care home Lakeview is. When my mother was sent there, I really didn't know what to expect but I should not have worried, the staff couldn't do enough. Everywhere was spotless and the rooms were nice and light. Needless to say Mum soon settled in.

The professional treatment and care, particularly over the long period of shut-down due to COVID19 can only be commended and in high regard.
The particular carers and senior staff looking after have been great, and at certain times, exemplary.

Firstly, I must state that this review is written against the difficult background of COVID. I do feel that communication from the management team could be improved upon. However, the front line team show my mm and abundance of care each and every hour of each and every day. It has been difficult for
my family to hand over the care of the matriarch of our household into the care of a third party. The care that Mom is receiving is above and beyond what we could ever have hoped for. I have nothing but gratitude for each and every one of the front line team.

Thank you for your review and the honest feedback in your comments. We do recognise the significant responsibility we have when a family places their loved one in our care and I am grateful for your positive feedback, which I will share with the team. The Coronavirus Pandemic has placed significant strains across all aspects of our services, at times this has affected our communication and I am sorry that this fell below expectations

My husband has been at the Lakeview Care Home since February and he has settled really well. He has dementia and that gives me piece of mind knowing he is being cared for by the caring and friendly staff. We have also been able to FaceTime him most days, which during lockdown, was invaluable to me.

Mom has been at Lakeview since January of this year. Since she has been there, staff have gone out of their way to keep us updated with Mom and nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. They have looked after her really well and can tell from talking to them that they care a lot for Mom. I am so
grateful for everything they are doing for Mom and they treat her with dignity and respect. There was an incident involving Mom and the way the staff kept us informed, has been second to none and, even during the visit today reassured us that everything is being done and apologised loads. I am so thankful to each and every one of them and am so happy that Mom is there with people who really care about her. In my eyes, they are all angels and I will never be able to show or tell them how grateful I am for them for looking after someone so precious so compassionately.

Thank you so much for your kind words, we are so pleased we were able to provide the high level of care to Mum that you have mentioned.

My dad has been resident at Lakeview for 2 years now. He settled in straight away and his care has been excellent. The staff are always professional, friendly and caring. Last year was a difficult year for the family not being able to see Dad. Window visits were lovely but not the same and we missed
him terribly but the staff kept us informed every step of the way.
My family would like to thank all the team on Kirkby unit for everything they do for Dad.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.622)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.622) 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 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.622 for Lakeview Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (350 Excellents x 5) + (110 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 489 Ratings = 4.622
  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 40 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 40 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.
