The care my mom receives is 100% better than the are home she was a resident of before. The staff are friendly, courteous and informative. Nothing is to much trouble. I am given reassurance when I mention my fears. Unfortunately, moms dementia is worsening but I notice all the staff are patient and
kind to her. All of my family agree with my review.

I thank god for this care home. The staff are amazing. They preempt situations to ensure residents stay safe and happy. The food is excellent taking account of my husbands taste. Activities are relevant and it has been so lovely to see him engage in a way he wouldn't at home. Both staff and
management couldn't be more helpful and ensure families and friends are made welcome. Thank you, particularly to those on Derwent unit. You are much appreciated.

The staff at Lakeview - Kirby unit- are very friendly and welcoming. With the residents you can tell they care as they interact really well and nothing seems like too much trouble. Our mum seems content and well looked after especially if she is unwell. The staff regularly update us on how mum is
and send us photos/videos of when she does activities. Great team and helps us feel reassured!

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.
