Review from K H (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 17 November 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My grandmother moved to Lakeview two months ago due to her previous home closing. She is visually impaired and was very anxious about having to settle in somewhere else.
All the team have been so welcoming, patient and kind with her and the family. They have gone to great lengths to find out about her past and present interests, enabling her to keep to her routine and provide a stimulating and rewarding environment.

Lakeview seems a very happy home for all the residents that I have met over the weeks, I really can't fault it!

Reply from Inder Hanzra, General Manager at Hallmark Lakeview

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such lovely words about the home and team. We are so pleased to have been able to support your grandmother's move from her previous home - I'm over the moon to hear that we played our part in making this as smooth as possible. We're thrilled that she is now part of the Lakeview family.

Overall Experience

My mother is very content at Lakeview, she feels safe and secure and enjoys the environment of the home and all the friendly staff. She enjoys participating in a range of activities, particularly exercise classes and quizzes. She is very well cared for. Obviously, all this comes at a price but we still feel it is very good value for money and for the knowledge that she is being well looked after.

Reply from Inder Hanzra, General Manager at Hallmark Lakeview

Overall Experience
My dad had a very bad experience in a previous care home so we were very worried about how he would settle into a new home. Once we had viewed Lakeview and spoken with the dementia care manager, we felt reassured that my dad's individual needs would be met.

Since he moved in, Dad has settled in so well which is such a relief to our whole family. The care team go out of their way to treat Dad as an individual and get to know him well and his needs.

Review from Lynda W (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 July 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I have nothing but praise for Lakeview care home. Everything about the home has been skillfully planned and carefully thought out. Example: Every floor on each level has a different colour scheme so residents do not get confused and know when they have arrived back on their floor. The atmosphere is always cheerful with smiling/caring staff on hand. The residents have a variety of entertainers visiting which is always well received. Pets are also welcome. I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a care home and have done so on many occasions.

Reply from Inder Hanzra, General Manager at Hallmark Lakeview

Dear Lynda - It is our entire pleasure to look after your mum for so long and we are extremely proud and privileged that you chose us when you needed care for another family member. Thank you for your kind words and we are pleased to learn that you would not hesitate to recommend us to others who are looking for a care home. Kind regards Inder Hanzra, General Manager

Overall Experience

We were seeking respite care following mums release from the hospital after a tough two weeks. From the first contact with LakeView, the team swung into immediate action to facilitate the right timescale. It was a stressful period with much uncertainty, however, we were able to rely totally on your staff. Once in situ, we were able to relax and let them take over mum's rehabilitation. Nothing was too much trouble we visited most days and were treated as part of the Lakeview family. The activities were superb and the individual care made integration easy. The home was just that - a home! The entire team are a credit to your organisation - thank you all.

Mum came in for respite care after a difficult hospital stay. She came there for four weeks but stayed for eight weeks. The care and kindness she and our family have been met with are second to none. Mum is so well now both mentally and physically. Good food, good care and friendly kind staff everywhere means she is looking great. I would recommend Lakeview to anyone.

Review from Pamela H (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 April 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Care homes generally get a bad press. When my mother needed care I was fortunate enough to find Lakeview. My mother spent eight months there before she passed away. It is a stunning example of what is possible. Immaculately clean, well-maintained, managed with care and professionalism. Attractive rooms, high-quality food, activities to suit everyone. The staff are universally excellent, caring, efficient, friendly and kind. All is done to the highest standard. I can't recommend it highly enough.

Review from Louise H (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 February 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Our mother moved into Lakeview in January this year. She has Alzheimer’s disease and was very resistant to the idea of such a move. She has been welcomed with open arms and has settled quickly. The staff are extremely good-natured and have been professional, reassuring, thoughtful and empathetic at all times. We have witnessed her having a good giggle with them on a number of occasions! Her room is spacious and comfortable; she is surrounded by familiar objects from her own home and family photographs. She enjoys mealtimes and has commented frequently on the excellent food. She has had her hair and nails done several times already! The café on the ground floor provides a perfect environment for visits. Heartfelt thanks to the entire team!

Reply from Inder Hanzra, General Manager at Hallmark Lakeview

It is our pleasure to have been able to welcome your mother to Lakeview and we are delighted that she is settling into her new home very well, we are enjoying getting to know all about her and being able to support her family too.

All those I met who were looking after Mum did with kindness and care. Mum enjoyed their company, particularly their capacity for having a bit of fun.

In Mum's last few weeks, they all went over and above to ensure that she was comfortable and loved.

At a difficult time, we could not have made a better choice of home. Staff genuinely care and take time to get to know you and have been very supportive. It is a lovely, clean, bright home, and always has a nice feel about it. The choice of food is excellent. Management always available to speak with you about any concerns. There is a definite open-door policy, which is so reassuring. Highly recommended.

Review from David Y (Son of Resident) published on 19 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Having visited quite a few care homes in the area, I was certain that Lakeview was the most suitable for my mother, but I was still nervous about how well she would settle in, having been a very independent and active person before her dementia. However, my family and I were delighted with the loving care all the staff immediately showed her and to our great relief she quickly accepted Lakeview as her new home. It is a much better environment for her mental and physical health than being at home with a single carer; there is always company and she has made friends with many of the other residents. There are daily activities to keep her engaged and stimulated and the care exhibited by every member of staff is heartwarming. It truly is a calling for these clearly carefully selected team members, never merely a job. I am always totally confident that my mother is being looked after with the greatest care and that is peace of mind beyond measure. Thank you Lakeview!

Review from Sue G (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 April 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother has been at Lakeview Care Home for over six years. It has been a home from home for her where every resident is treated as part of the family. Each individual is valued and cared for and my mother has thrived in this nurturing environment. Despite being in a wheelchair with dementia, her needs were very well looked after. The care provided was exceptional even down to a carer applying makeup which my mother enjoyed (even at 95). Activities through the years have been fun and varied. My mother particularly enjoyed the garden facilities and the ballroom dancing. I have no hesitation in recommending Lakeview Care Home. The management team is professional and the manager is very experienced and consistently steady. It is a testament to the manager’s leadership skills that they coped and even thrived during the extreme challenges the pandemic caused.

Unfortunately, my mother had to leave Lakeview recently, a sad day indeed, as she now needs a nursing home.

Iftekhar AhmedJob Title:General ManagerJoined: 2022

With over 15 years of experience in the care sector, I’m proud to lead the wonderful team here at Lakeview Care Home. I was drawn to Hallmark because it’s a respected name in the industry — known for innovation, compassion, and a genuine commitment to excellence. Being part of Lakeview allows me to contribute to those same high standards and create a truly special place for residents to call home.

In my day-to-day role, I oversee the smooth running of the home, ensuring we provide safe, person-centred care while supporting my team to grow in confidence and pride. The most rewarding part of my role is seeing residents happy, comfortable, and thriving, and knowing that their families feel reassured and supported.

What makes Hallmark — and Lakeview — stand out is the combination of luxury, warmth, and heartfelt care. It’s a home built on respect, dignity, and teamwork.

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, exploring the outdoors, heading to the seaside, and enjoying movie nights or a friendly game of cricket with my children.
