Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Brilliant nursing home. My father-in-law was in there and we couldn't have asked for better people to look after him - clean, friendly, welcoming, the list is endless, unfortunately, he has now died but we would recommend this home to anyone.

Review from Lesley E (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 February 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Mum has been a resident of The Lakes, Dementia unit now for over 12 months. Mum has thrived whilst residing in The Lakes.
The unit is safe, secure, very clean and the staff are excellent carers.
There is a lot of interaction with the residents, for example, trips out to children's day nurseries,
barge trips to name a few. Craft activities take place on a regular basis and residents are encouraged and assisted in taking part.
Mums room is en suite, spacious, warm and kept very clean. The laundry service is excellent.

Review from Alan H (Son of Resident) published on 16 November 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
After being in this care home for several weeks my 98 year old mother has improved greatly from when she was admitted. She is happy with the home and the care she receives, she has been taken out on several occasions to places she has really enjoyed and looks forward to many more outings. Although she
is unable to walk she is being encouraged by staff to regain some independence in this respect. Overall my sister and I are very satisfied with the care and attention she receives from all staff and she is settled and quite content. We consider the room she is in to be quite adequate for her needs and kept clean at all times. The staff are caring and attentive and she has only good words for each and every one of them. To conclude I can only say that if I am ever in need of such accommodation I would like it to be in this or a similar establishment. I would recommend this care home to anyone.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.620)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.620) out of 10 for The Lakes Care Centre 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.620 for The Lakes Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 234 Ratings = 4.62
  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 The Lakes Care Centre is based on 19 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 19 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.
