  • Lake View Residential Care Home, Telford
The team at Lake View are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents and supporting them to have a very active role to play in how their home is run. There are resident ambassadors, who do everything from showing new residents and their families around their home, to providing feedback at residents’ meetings.

The home is thriving, with so many activities to enjoy, from karaoke, pamper sessions and a knit and natter group, to movie afternoons with popcorn in the home’s cinema, trips out into the community, pub lunches and animal visits.

The local community are embraced into life in the home, from school children who take part in activities, to a community choir, musicians and entertainers who regularly perform for the residents. And the home has its own piano for anyone who fancies some spontaneous music!

Lake View has its own a hair salon, with a mobile hairdresser visiting weekly, as well as a coffee shop for ‘Tea Tuesdays’ and relaxing with loved ones, who are welcome at any time.

The beautiful landscaped gardens have raised planters and wheelchair friendly pathways. This summer the residents have loved growing their own fruit and vegetables from seed in the polytunnel, harvesting their produce for the chef to use in the kitchen, giving them such a sense of achievement.

Mealtimes are another highlight, with home-cooked meals and freshly baked cakes for afternoon tea. In the dining rooms residents enjoy everything from roast dinners with all the trimmings to fish and chip Fridays, plus themed menus for special occasions.

The spacious bedrooms are beautifully furnished and decorated, with walk-in wet room showers.

Loved ones are embraced into life in the home and are welcome at any time. And there is a private family and friends Facebook page, where they can see what the residents have been enjoying doing, even if they can’t be there in person.

Review from Catherine A (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 November 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The experience of my Dad moving into permanent, residential care has been made so much easier to accept due to the very caring, supportive and friendly manner of all the staff.
Dad's needs are accommodated in a caring way with a relaxed approach to his mood changes, which means he has been calmer and
happier.
Reply from Fae Doherty, Marketing Officer at Lake View Residential Care Home

Dear Catherine, what a lovely review. We understand how difficult the transition into care can be for both our residents and their families so it is really reassuring to know that your experience has proved to be a positive one. Our team will work had to make sure Lake View is a true home from home for your father. Best wishes, Fae

My mother has been at the home for 8 weeks. Following a difficult period prior to going to Lake View she is now extremely happy, has regained her confidence and totally loves the home. This has reduced the pressure on my family enormously and it is a delight to visit her.
Reply from Fae Doherty, Marketing Officer at Lake View Residential Care Home

Dear Chris,
Thank you for your lovely comments. I am really glad to hear that your mother is settling in so well at Lake View - despite it being a difficult transition at times, care really can enable families to be families again, rather than carers. You are always welcome to visit, so please do stop by at any time! Best wishes, Fae

Mom came to the home in home in July following a fall, they have fitted a falls alarm in her room and also taken delivery of a profile bed since her last fall three weeks ago.

The staff who deal with me are all very good. I prefer some to others.
Really enjoy baths. Some concern about the time to be taken to the toilet.
Perhaps need some help making friends and meeting people.
The room is good. The food is very good.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I've been here since May 2016. Having become somewhat withdrawn during the early stages, I was hardly involved with the care home day to day affairs. Thereafter, I became increasingly but slowly more active and a return to my more "normal" extrovert self. I now wear several "hats". Coordinator/chair
of the home residents weekly meetings, co-editor, regular contributor to the home newsletter, "bingo caller". Question writer and quizmaster of weekly house quiz. I am a keen and competent guitarist and am preparing a concert for June 2018.

I have an elderly mother and father who have been in care since last August and have been impressed with their care.
The home is excellent, very friendly and very approachable. They always try to do their best for my parents.
They love the food, which always smells lovely.
I have no regrets putting
them in Lake View.

From day one, the staff and management have been excellent, nothing has been too much trouble. Th room mum is in is ideal. The food has been first class and catered for mum's needs. In the short time, mum has been here, her mobility has improved no end. This is due to the exercise activities and mum
being able to move around freely with her walker. The gardens are lovely and being able to sit out in the sunshine is an added bonus.

Many thanks to all the staff at Lake View Care Home for the love and kindness that they show to all residents including my mum. Choosing a care home for a loved one is a hard task, choosing Lake View was and is a decision that I do not regret. Lovely rooms, caring staff, nice gardens, a range of activities
inside and out. Makes a happy resident. All of our family would recommend Lake View, keep up the good work.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.722)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.722) out of 10 for Lake View Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.722 for Lake View Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (326 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 417 Ratings = 4.722
  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 Lake View Residential Care Home is based on 34 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 34 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.
