I am very happy with the care provided by supportive and caring staff. Staff listen and react appropriately when I raise concerns about my father and this is reassuring.

Lovely facilities for families to have a cup of tea and sit in the kitchen/garden.
My mum has no complaints regarding her care and enjoys the food.
Her only negative comment is that a lot of the other residents prefer to remain in their own rooms, so sometimes the communal rooms are not being used especially in the evenings.
If I have a grievance, it is that during almost two years of my wife's caring and although everything of hers is named, she has lost 9 pairs of reading glasses several pairs of shoes,...
If I have a grievance, it is that during almost two years of my wife's caring and although everything of hers is named, she has lost 9 pairs of reading glasses several pairs of shoes, various items of clothing including socks, tops and trousers.
A very well run residence. Always a warm welcome. Excellent staff with a very caring and understanding approach towards the residents. A very clean and modern place with great attention to detail.

This is a very difficult question. The home has some wonderful staff, people that really do care, and want to give their best. However, because of the nature of the business and the fact that there is no government body to enforce higher wages for the staff the turnover is high, there are not enough staff to really be able to make a difference to residents. Activities are virtually non-existent. Even though we are in the summer months, the staff don't take the resident out to enjoy the garden and get some fresh air. They just don't have the resources . Question! Would I want to live in a care home??
Excellent service all round. Staff are kind and friendly.

It is not always possible to visit on a regular basis and it would be food to have a process for notifying us when she is low with any toiletries or requires additional clothing. It would also be better for us if the monthly extras bill was itemised.
We aren't able to tell how many hair appointments it refers to with obtaining additional info form the home.

Since joining Lakeside Care Home in Reading in 2012 as a Care Assistant, B&M Care has supported and developed my career, resulting in a number of promotions, including my most recent appointment to Home Manager in December 2018. With a degree in Photography and an NVQ Level 5 in Health & Social Care, my education has encouraged me to combine theory-based practice with my passion for creativity, which ultimately encourages both my team and me to deliver something truly unique within the home.
We are a warm and friendly home with a team dedicated to supporting our residents and families with a high standard of care, in an environment that feels homely, safe and stimulating.
