Review from Martina M (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 December 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Amazing care home who have looked after the residents with care and compassion throughout the Covid pandemic, ensuring their safety and well being at all times. The cheerful disposition of staff has remained throughout the difficult times we find ourselves in. The staff have gone above and beyond in
keeping the residents engaged in activities and finding ways to keep them in touch with their relatives when they have not been able to visit due to Covid precautions.
My father has been at Lakeview for a year and the peace of mind I have knowing he is well cared for is priceless.

Review from L H (Niece of Resident) published on 22 January 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt has been living here since 2017 and the staff, from cleaners to the managers, were very good at settling her in. They continue to give my aunt excellent care tailored towards her needs, despite the challenges that my aunt's dementia poses. Lakeview is focused on each patient individually and
that, I think, is the key for the excellent care that they provide.

I know 4 different people in care homes and Lake View is just different. The staff are all lovely and caring and there is a very homely atmosphere. My friend settled in so nicely, she loves all the activities and being spoilt with her nails done and hair. This is the very best home and I would not hesitate
to recommend it!

We have recently moved my mum into Lakeview. She lives with dementia but was not living to her full potential at home. We looked at lots of homes and Lakeview stood out from the crowd. Lakeview is so special and offers truly personal and 'loving' care. My mum is now enjoying life and my dad can enjoy
activities with her. I also feel very supported and welcome at Lakeview.
Reply from Inder Hanzra, General Manager at Hallmark Lakeview

Thank you for your feedback. At Lakeview, we aim to deliver the highest quality relationship-centred care and hence we encourage the family to be part of the activities at Lakeview.


I am so pleased to hear that Lakeview has been able to make a difference to your family.

After visiting several care homes in the area, we were impressed with the approach that this provider takes in developing a care plan based on the individual's needs.
The property is impressive - a purpose-built building.
Supported by a team of caring people.

It's difficult to praise Lakeview highly enough. My father had been at a previous care home which fell below expectations. I actually cried with relief after visiting Lakeview the first time, having given up on finding the right place. The staff, facilities and atmosphere exude such a welcome and warmth
- always happy, caring and positive - and so efficient.

My Grandad was in Lakeview for a period of respite and it has been the happiest I have seen him in a long time. He has been cared for in a friendly, compassionate and professional manner. I have 100% confidence in all the members of staff. The facilities are fabulous, the food varied and delicious and
an excellent range of stimulating activities. I have only very positive comments to make. If only all care homes could be like this!

A very good welcome when visiting and all areas extremely well decorated and maintained. Staff friendly and cheerful and everyone seemed compassionate and professional. Rooms good sizes with modern walk-in showers, bright and airy, again spotlessly clean. Nice calm atmosphere.

The care home has been marvellous with my husband who was a dementia resident for seven months. Sadly his time came all too quickly. The carers handled palliative care with the utmost sympathy, explaining the steps they have to take, so it eased our journey when the time came. The staff went above and
beyond to look after my husband, myself and our family.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.862)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.862) out of 10 for Hallmark Lakeview is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.862 for Hallmark Lakeview is calculated as follows: ( (307 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 355 Ratings = 4.862
  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 Hallmark Lakeview is based on 30 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 30 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.
