Since her arrival, Lakeview has worked hard to help my mother settle in and start to integrate with the activities and residents in the home. They have worked with the local GP to address a number of health issues and have always kept me informed.

Thank you, Chris, for a very positive feedback. Our approach is to involve all health professionals and family to achieve the best possible care for our residents.

The care my father gets is second to none.
The biggest compliment I can give Lakeview is that Dad always says 'If I can't be at home, this is the next best place'.

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.

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.

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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.873 for Hallmark Lakeview is calculated as follows: ( (290 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 331 Ratings = 4.873
  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 28 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 28 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.

Job Title: General Manager Joined: 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.
