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.

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...

My mother has been welcomed by all the staff in this friendly care home. The staff are all caring and friendly. Communication with family is good and any problems soon sorted. Residents are treated with dignity.
However, there are less activities each week than we hoped for, although those that are provided are good. It would be nice to see daily activities to fill the time. Many residents sleep much of the time or sit in silence.
A very welcoming centre. Very clean and tidy with attentive and happy staff. Residents appear to be well looked after by caring and compassionate staff. Always a smile for everyone, residents and visitors alike.

From arriving to leaving, it was a pleasure to use the premises. Every visit you are assured of a warm welcome from a team of excellent staff, who are always happy, which transfers to the residents.

When Mum first came to Lakeview she was too nervous to come out of her room. The home staff were excellent spending time with Mum in her room getting to know her and eventually persuading her to join in the activities in the lounge. She now spends most days in the lounge with the other residents...
She needs help with most things and this is always provided by the staff with a smile.
Mum's room is comfortable and all areas of the building are clean and tidy.
Nobody really wants to live in a care home but if you have to Lakeview is as nice a place as you could hope for.
Lovely home very welcoming and good staff my father-in-law is happy.

When I first walked into Lake View Residential Care Home just over a year ago when I was looking for a place for my mum. I was very impressed with not only the layout and feel of the home but also the staff's attitude. Many staff have changed however, all are friendly and give not only my mum but other residents, the care and support they all need which is varying and not an easy job at all. From the office to carers and all inbetween they make Lake View the home from home it needs to be for all the residents and their families.
I have been really impressed by the care my Grandma has received here. Her room is wonderfully clean and there are lots of activities to take part in if she wants. The staff all take a genuine interest in residents and it is obvious that they care.

She is much better now that her medication is administered as and when required and she is checked overnight.
Unable to fault the care to date.

Moving to Lake View has been fantastic for my grandfather. He has settled really well. The range of activities and choice means he is intellectually stimulated. His wellbeing has improved and the staff create a warm, welcoming, home-like atmosphere. He has told me that he feels so much happier here.

I visit Lake View once a month. I am a local Parish Priest. I have observed excellent care and support provided to the residents and their families. The environment is stimulating and friendly "just as home should be." Clients are shown respect and dignity.

I first started at Lake View in 2018, and I am the home's activities coordinator. What I like about the role is that it’s unique and so important. I find it really rewarding, and I love to make a difference to our residents by delivering meaningful activities. No two days are the same; we can go from organising a beach-themed weekend to playing bingo!
