Both my mum and dad have been residents in 2023. My mum has had respite care and it has been wonderful! They accommodated her very quickly to get her out of hospital quickly. My dad remains in nursing care - he has had wonderful attention. Fabulous team - every one of them.

Reply from Andy Buttimer, General Manager at Barchester Lakeside Care Home

Thank you so much for your feedback. Feedback is very important to us. It helps us to understand the needs of our residents and their families and significantly drives us to maintain existing high standards of care.

My aunt has been a resident since the end of 2020 until she died at the end of June 2023. I have witnessed nothing but professional care, kindness and compassion from the staff who have looked after her extremely well. I have visited as often as I can, but not being a Jersey resident this has been less
often than I would like. Auntie's main carers rang me with great regularity and I was kept fully informed of her condition and what was being done to address her physical and mental welfare.
I think the staff are what makes the care home and that is why I have given a five-star review and on behalf of all the family, I would like to say a very big thank you to them.
There are aspects of the building that could be refreshed but on balance, I'd rather the money was spent to give the staff a pay rise!

I went to Lakeside to convalesce after a hip operation, but they do not cater for that so I would not recommend it for a post-op stay. They are more of a care home. I could not fault the staff they were all excellent, friendly and caring. The building itself is very tired and needs a facelift in the
rooms, particularly the bathrooms and the bed was uncomfortable. I was not impressed with the food. The main courses and desserts were not very appetising.

Reply from Charlotte Howson, Customer Experience Manager at Barchester Lakeside Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to share a review. We are pleased to hear you found our staff were excellent - we are really proud of the care and service we provide within the home.

Our mum is a resident at Lakeside. She took a while to settle down but every member of staff that have been looking after her have shown endless patience, gentleness and above all, kindness to both her and our family. Mum is now happily settled and all the family can’t begin to thank the amazing nurses
and carers for all they do. We live in England and so the frequent phone calls from lakeside to keep us up to date with mum's health, both physical and mental, are a huge comfort to us.

My husband has been at Lakeside Care Home for 2.5years. We are very happy with the care he is receiving and he appears to be in better form this year than when he first arrived.
This, I am sure is due to the excellent food and the kind care he is given.

The premises are very well kept, with wonderful grounds. The staff on the Lavender ward where my father stayed are attentive and have the knowledge and understanding to deal with all their clients. The food served is of a very good standard. We enjoyed our family meal and was better than we expected.
My
father has now passed away, and the attention and care we were provided in his last hours were fantastic. The team treated my father and my family with dignity and kindness we could not have asked for more. Thank you and kind regards.

My father was transferred to Lakeside after having been placed at a non-specific residential home, after a prolonged period in hospital, following a nasty and recurring UTI. It was found that although my dad had been diagnosed with vascular dementia, that he would require more specific care. The staff
at Lakeside not only facilitated a smooth transition, they also reassured my family with their knowledge and understanding of the condition, and candid and honest duel working approach that fits with our family values.

Absolutely gorgeous food. Could not be more accommodating to our needs and although our father was unwell (UTI) we were all content during our special time together - Easter meal. Dad is much happier and the care he receives is second to none.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.561)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.561) out of 10 for Barchester Lakeside Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.561 for Barchester Lakeside Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (87 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 269 Ratings = 4.561

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Lakeside Care Home is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
