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.
Our weekly fees are individual to each of our residents and are subject to a pre-admission assessment, which is required to understand the level of care and support needed. Our 2025 weekly care fees for residential care start from £1280 but may be in the region of 30% more*. This depends on your care needs and the type of bedroom that is right for you, from our standard rooms through to our premium bedroom options.
*If you require more specialist care such as 1-2-1 support, your weekly fee could be higher.

Clients are not shaved regularly. Personal items always getting lost. Carers give good care but little interaction with clients. Too much paperwork for staff to fill in. Floors regularly smell of urine.

The end of life care my mother has received has been excellent. The staff have been so compassionate and kind far beyond duty. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lake View Residential Care Home for this type of care. After my mother's death (30.8.16) this care was extended to helping me.

Overall we have no problems with the home, they provide brilliant care for my mom. Unfortunately, we have had an incident that my mom was found at the bottom of the stairs resulting in a fractured collar bone and a fracture in her lower back. The staff were absolutely brilliant throughout this incident and I hope management have put new procedures in place to prevent this happening to someone else.

I am more than happy with my husband being at Lake View, it's like a hotel. If I could give it 5 stars, I would.

On behalf of all the family I would like you to know our profound appreciation for the way in which you care for my father and your professional approach in making us all so welcome when we visit. I can see my father is settled and happy. He gets the stimulation he needs, the home is light and...
The day my father moved in we all felt anxious and did not know what to expect. Those fears have disappeared. This is down to excellent communication between all professional bodies involved.

There are some very positive aspects to the home and some staff that take the care of residents very seriously and have an excellent attitude. The care is however not suitable for Alzheimer's patients or respite care as they need time to get to know the patients well and understand their needs and requirements and get into suitable routines. Having sight of and agreeing a comprehensive care plan is in hindsight essential, as internal communications could be improved. For us it was more stressful than having to care for him at home and it took many days for us all to recover from the experience, but that was just our unfortunate experience. It is important to note that there were happy residents there and had it not been for half term in the first week with key staff on leave, I would hope there would have been many activities that he would have enjoyed. Their invoicing system is also unnecessarily distressing but would only be an issue when privately funding.
Thank you for your feedback - and for some lovely comments about our team. I am sorry to hear that you felt our home was unsuitable for respite stay for residents with Alzheimer’s because of the need to spend time to get to know them well. Whether someone is staying with us for respite care or...

Whether someone is staying with us for respite care or permanently we always complete a thorough and detailed assessment and individual care plan and take the time to get to know them so we are able to deliver the most appropriate care with kindness. I appreciate your father is back at home now but if you would like to discuss anything further please do feel free to contact me.
