We have been so grateful to the staff of Lakeview for all the care and attention given to our mother over the last year since she moved in. They have maintained a careful focus on her well being and have discussed care plans with us. Their patience and attention to our mother's needs have been so reassuring. The home itself is a lovely environment which provides dignity for resident and a warm welcome for relatives. Thank you Lakeview.

My mother stayed at Lakeview Grange for respite whilst we were on holiday. She was very happy and well cared for. The staff were lovely and very kind. Also, the Manager Jackie Cridlin, has kept in touch with us and given us lots of help and advice in our ongoing dementia journey with Mum. This advice has been invaluable and has helped us immensely. Thank you.

Facilities are top notch, but the most important thing to me is the staff, and they are absolutely amazing - caring, compassionate and take excellent care of my Dad. Knowing they are looking after him so well, makes it easier for me when I leave after a visit.

Mum recently moved into Lakeview Grange and I cannot be more reassured of her care at this time. The staff are amazing, without exception. She seems to have settled quickly, much to my surprise! She had a hair cut this week and she looks better than she has in years! Everyone is kind and generous with their time and skills. I feel confident that she is receiving the very best care and attention. Thank you to everyone.

My mum joined the community at LakeView Grange two weeks ago - we couldn't imagine her settling in - she had been very unhappy at home for the last few months and we had tried everything to support her. Within a couple of days, she was smiling again, she has a wide circle of friends and she views her room as her "house". All the staff have been amazing - they are very skilled at navigating the challenges that dementia brings and there is a real sense of warmth and kindness at Lakeview. My mum is happier than she has been for a very long time - and we feel very welcome. The range of activities is amazing and her room is large, airy, modern and comfortable. We feel very luck to have discovered Lakeview and would thoroughly recommend.

My mum has been in Lakeview Grange for two weeks. The change in her is almost miraculous. She arrived traumatised, almost psychotic, having had a very difficult experience with a live in carer for a month - her dementia had been misunderstood and she clearly felt unsafe. Since being at Lakeview she now smiles, she is calm, and has settled in so well to the routine. I can see she feels safe and she once again has a bloom in her cheeks I haven't seen for years. The staff are all absolutely wonderful - the home feels like a big (albeit unusual!) warm, friendly and loving family. The home is spotless and welcoming. The activities are stimulating and super-well organised. I can visit anytime and always feel welcome and listened to. My mums room is lovely and she definitely is making this marvellous place her home. Thank you to this brilliant gem - a safe haven for a group of wonderful older people.

From the moment Dad arrived at Lakeview, he and I have been made so welcome. From the Receptionists, the first friendly person you see on arrival, to ALL staff, they made us feel special. Admissions manager has been absolutely great, right from day one. Always helpful with practical solutions for everything. Beautiful Home, lovely, comfortable and modern rooms. Lots of activities for the residents. Outings, craft sessions, musical moments, and much more. Fantastic menus too. All in all, a lovely friendly Care Home.

My friend recently stayed at Lakeview for a two-week respite and we were both so impressed with every aspect of the home. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, and the beautiful surroundings created such a peaceful atmosphere. My friend especially enjoyed the varied activities - with the art class being a particular highlight - and spent many happy hours in the stunning gardens. Everything about her stay exceeded our expectations, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Lakeview to anyone looking for exceptional care in a truly lovely setting.

I recently travelled to Chichester to visit my nan who has moved to Lakeview Grange after a nasty fall at home. To be honest, I had pre-conceived thought to what I was going to expect, but when I arrived I was completely blown away by the kind welcome from the receptionist. The facilities are classy, clean and comfortable. Lots of activities planned for the week ahead. The food is 1st class and most important is that my nan seemed very happy. The care team, very attentive. I couldn't wish for more. Thank you Lakeview Grange.

My mother recently moved to Lakeview Grange. I have been amazed with the attention she has received. I now have gone back to being her daughter again not her carer. The staff are truly kind, the facilities are amazing and the food is out of this world. I would recommend Lakeview Grange home in the area.
04 August 2025
Initially my mum had a short stay at Lakeview Grange, after a fall at home. She loved her stay so much that she decided to make Lakeview Grange her home for life. Everything about the home I can not fault and so pleased that I helped choose the right home for her. "Excellent".

I feel well qualified to write this review as a retired health care professional that worked in a local G P practice for over thirty two years r Role took me out to all the local Nursing and Care homes within the locality to enable me To carry out flu vaccination programs and dementia reviews, this was then another nursing home I lakeside View Offers superb standard of nursing care, It is very friendly but professional and has the feeling of being in a hotel for both residents and visitors ,, nothing is too much trouble attending to the patients or indeed their visitors, their approach is welcoming and the facilities on offer certainly gives more of a hotel feel than a nursing home. The environment is safe and secure and very welcoming. I can strongly recommend this Home for quality care, not just for medical care but for the holistic management required for loved ones. Every aspect is catered for from physio to entertainment and quality catering,

In general, wonderful service. Many, many thanks.

My friend came to Lakeview Grange for 2 weeks convalescent care following spinal surgery. Given that the notice was short the admissions process was first rate and the staff acted promptly and considerately to ensure that everything was completed in time. The Admissions Manager even started the admissions process while on holiday! My friend absolutely loved Lakeview Grange. The facilities are first rate and varied, with numerous leisure and entertainment options for residents - including the ability to host guests for lunch parties as my friend did! The room and en suite bathroom were spacious, comfortable and well-equipped. But most importantly all the staff were so professional and so friendly - my friend felt completely confident in the excellent care he received throughout his stay and completely at home, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We would have absolutely no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Lakeview Grange - thank you.

We needed to arrange Respite care quickly for our mother. The lady who took the first phone call was extremely professional ! We had a call in the evening from the Admissions Officer who reassured us they would move quickly to help us. They did ! The next day the assessment Manager visited our Mum in her own home and assessed her needs prior to going to the home. Such a good service and it made everyone feel so much more relaxed. His care and compassion were excellent. Once at the home we were greeted by the extremely professional, caring and friendly Admissions Officer. We were shown around the home which is an absolute delight. The bedroom was so homely with all the facilities to support an elderly resident. The home surroundings are stunning. Beautiful grounds, A full program of daily activities and most importantly of all, every member of staff were so friendly and helpful. They are always prepared to go that extra mile. I would definitely recommend Lake View. Thank you all

My Dad stayed at Lakeview Grange recently for a two-week respite break and I was very impressed with the facilities, ambiance and warm welcome. The team members I met were very friendly, professional, kind and patient. They were all approachable, with a positive, "can do" attitude. The bedrooms are a very good size with excellent facilities like ensuite wet room, profile bed, ample storage, comfortable chairs and TV. The building and grounds were very clean and modern. The communal facilities and décor make it feel more like a hotel than a care home. The outside space was a delight, providing an opportunity to be close to nature. I have visited a number of care homes and, in my opinion, Lakeview Grange offers one of the most accessible, friendly and appropriate environments for people living with dementia. It is not easy to transition to a care home, but the staff at Lakeview Grange do all they can to help the entire family through that process and make it feel like a home-from-home.

Everything about Lakeview Grange is 5*. From the moment we walked in we knew that our friend would be well looked after. The building, furnishings and rooms are second to none. The food is outstanding and the staff are all extremely attentive, friendly and kind. The stay was booked for two weeks but he enjoyed it so much he stayed an extra week. I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone that is looking for a care home whether it be for respite on long term care.

A really excellent and clean Residential Home with a caring, thoughtful and supportive team, led by the manager. As you'll no doubt be aware if your reading this, it's an extremely emotional & upsetting experience when your loved ones reach a stage in their lives where they need a new nurturing and activity rich environment to make it worthwhile for them to get up in the morning. This excellent new(ish) home not only provides their residents with a larger than usual bedroom and en-suite facility, it has beautifully decorated lounges, dining areas, a cinema, gardens, a Family room and even a hairdressing salon. If you are looking for somewhere special that would make you feel proud to be part of and without paying over the market rate, I would highly recommend you make an appointment to meet their team and see the facilities yourself. It's the least our loved ones deserve.
