Review from Jackie (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 July 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad lived at lakeside for 2 years eight months. He had very poor health, but was cared for very well. He was unable to be moved and for the majority of his stay was in bed. All staff from the nurses to the domestic staff always made time to stop and have a chat to him. As his health deteriorated
they ensured he was comfortable and pain free. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness and support .

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a sudden illness we had to find care accommodation for my father at short notice. We were fortunate to have a number of care homes in our area to choose from. We visited them all.
At Lakeside we were struck by the professionalism, pro active and naturally caring attitude at this home and, having
admitted my father, our initial expectations have been exceeded. From a life threatening scenario he has been nursed back to strength. He finds the atmosphere in the home friendly and, as a family, we are always welcomed warmly upon our visits.
Having considerable experience on the receiving end of nursing care over recent years with other family members, we cannot sing the praises of the Lakeside management team loudly enough.

Both my godparents went into Lakeside in Jan 2015. They had a beautiful double room overlooking the lake. My godmother passed away on April 2015. My godfather was moved to an equally nice single room until he passed away this month. The care they both had was second to none and the home was a lovely
place to be.

Mum went to Lakeside for end of life care and was a resident for 3 weeks. We are so glad mum was in Lakeside, the home and care from all staff was 5 star. I would certainly recommend this peaceful clean and caring home.

Review from Peter (Son of Resident) published on 23 December 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I find the staff very caring for my mother.
She has been resident here for 3 months so far.
She has improved dramatically since being in their care, from a rather frail start.
The staff are always approachable and ready to listen to any concerns that I or my family have, and willing to find answers
to problems.
They are extremely capable and deal with the residents as if their own family.
The atmosphere is excellent, the house clean, tidy and well presented.
I have both personal knowledge and knowledge as a professional going into the home, and can find few faults.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been a resident at Lakeside for 3 years. Mum can be a real challenge and very awkward, the staff at Lakeside are very patient and good with her. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them, mum is looked after. When she was taken to hospital overnight she was welcomed back and made very comfortable.
We have always felt part of a big family at Lakeside. They are all excellent.

Review from Diane L (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 November 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care provided 24/7 by every member of staff is exemplary. Dad was treated with total respect, dignity and understanding. All his nursing and psychological needs were addressed, staff treating him as one of their own, showing their genuine care and thoughtfulness. Standards are exceptionally high,
everyone smiles and is genuinely happy, ensuring a positive culture is portrayed. Matron and deputy matron are excellent leaders/ role models and all staff 'go the extra mile' for the residents and their families. No concerns, just the utmost praise for a fantastic team - the best. Thank you.

From the management right through to the whole care team, the standard was excellent and delivered with such a personal and cheerful touch. The matron and deputy matron came in on their days off at the weekend during the final weeks of my father-in-laws life. This was certainly going the extra mile
to ensure he has a peaceful end to his life.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.830)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.830) out of 10 for Lakeside Nursing & Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 15 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 4.955 for Lakeside Nursing & Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (171 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.955
  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 4.875 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lakeside Nursing & Residential Home is based on 15 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, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.875
    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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 15 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.
