My wife has been at Lakeview now for nearly 3 years, in that time she has been very happy and contented, her room is excellent, and she is well looked after by the lovely staff. It's nice that the home allows me to visit sometimes my border collie (Izzy) which my wife looks forward to.

My wife has been at Lakeview five and a half years and has nothing but love and kindness shown to her. She is so well looked after and so comfortable because of the wonderful staff here on the Buttermere unit. My wife was transfered to Buttermere 18 months ago because of her more nursing needs and
given a room that over looks the farm. All the staff at Lakeview are wonderful and go above and beyond to make sure the residents come first.

Dad was moved the Keswick unit from the hospital. Every member of staff has treated my dad with dignity. They have made every family member feel welcome always offering us a drink and updated us on my dad's condition. Communication has been excellent. Special mention to Gazeta the lovely trained
nurse and the activity coordinator Stacey.

Our Mom lived in the Loweswater Unit at Lakeview for the last 18 months of her life. Mom was very happy there and very well cared for. We found all the staff to be very conscientious and kind. Everyone from the nursing staff to carers to reminiscence managers to cleaning staff to admin and reception
all displayed acts of kindness and consideration to Mom and ourselves. Mom was always well presented and in her own co-ordinated clothes - even if she couldn't get out of bed when she was not feeling too good. There were many activities and treats, and we have many photos and videos of Mom enjoying herself or having a little treat - even meeting a donkey! On the days we couldn't visit, whenever possible the staff made sure we were able to video call with Mom. We could not wish for a better place for Mom to spend the last period of her life, and we will always be grateful to all the staff at Lakeview, and Loweswater in particular, for everything they did for her and for us.

I have found the care home to be outstanding. Staff are very friendly and helpful and look after my partner really well. The reception staff are also very friendly. The home is her home and she's treated like it is her home and not a resident.

My mom has recently become a resident at Lake View and is living in the Keswick Unit.
We live abroad so for my mom's care we solely rely on the staff at Lake View to take care of mom's every needs. We have regular updates about mom and feel that we are well informed.
When we visited for the first
time this December we found the staff to be very friendly and helpful and attentive to mom's needs. This is a great relief for us, giving us peace of mind.
We also spoke to other families who said the care is great and we have nothing to worry about.
The home looks clean, tidy and welcoming.
Thank you to the staff at Lake View for all the work that you do to help residents feel comfortable.

Since my grandfather moved to the Loweswater Unit, he has settled in beautifully. His health has been excellent, and on the occasions when any concerns have arisen, the team has responded promptly and efficiently. The staff have been consistently warm, supportive, and dedicated, providing
exceptional care throughout his stay. I am confident that the home upholds the highest standards of care. I would like to express my sincere thanks to all the team for the excellent care they have provided-and continue to provide-for my grandfather.

My Uncle has been in Kendall ward for just over a year and I cannot praise the staff highly enough!
All staff are extremely polite, incredibly caring and always fully aware of exactly what is happening.
Any questions I have asked have been answered efficiently and I actually relaxed knowing
that he is so well cared for. Everyone from the care staff to the nurses, management , cleaners and receptionists are wonderful. A fantastic team all round.

The Manager and all the staff at Lakeview Care Home are exemplary. They went above and beyond to grant my Mom's last dying wish, which was to hold my Dad's hand. The Manager did everything she could to make sure my Mom was able to stay at the home with Dad (who is a resident) when she was discharged
from the hospital. Mom was given a beautiful room which overlooked all the Autumn trees to help her relax and be calm. Additional comfy chairs, a camp bed, refreshments and a family room were provided to us so we were looked after and could be with her in her final days. All the staff were very dignified, helpful and supportive to Mum and made sure she had whatever she needed and was comfortable. The nurses were supportive and prepared her through her final stages. As soon as Mom was settled, the staff brought Dad to her so they could hold hands and be together. A precious last gift given by all the staff at Lakeview to Mom and Dad. We are eternally thankful to you all.

My parents have used facilities in both residential and dementia nursing care here, over the last 4 years. Sadly my dad (94) passed away in August last year but the care and compassion of staff at that time was exemplary. My Mom (92) has dementia and has been bed bound for 3 years. The care again,
is excellent. Whenever I visit she is clean and comfortable. Her skin which could easily break down due to lack of movement is well cared for, which is a testament to the staff who ensure she is repositioned regularly. The unit is well managed and I am kept informed of any changes as well as contacted regularly to ensure that I have no concerns. However, any time I have a query/question, I can either call or email and a response is always promptly received. Staff are very caring and pleasant - managers, nurses, carers and reception staff and I am happy with my choice as I feel confident in the care Mom receives.

Since my husband has been in Lakeview his care has been excellent. Unfortunately he has deteriorated quite rapidly but they have found solutions at each stage. The staff are extremely caring and attentive to the moods of the residents and I think this has been paramount to my husband settling down
so quickly I have witnessed how he responds to the staff. I would recommend Lakeview if I was asked as my experience has been so positive.

My mom was on Ullswater for almost a year before she died in November 24. Felt she was badly neglected health wise and the care she received. She was kept in bed for long periods of time with very little interaction with staff. Reported the home to the care quality commission.
