I find the staff very caring for my mother.
She has been resident here for 3 months so far.
She has improved dramatically since being in their care, from a rather frail start.
The staff are always approachable and ready to listen to any concerns that I or my family have, and willing to find answers
to problems.
They are extremely capable and deal with the residents as if their own family.
The atmosphere is excellent, the house clean, tidy and well presented.
I have both personal knowledge and knowledge as a professional going into the home, and can find few faults.

Mum has been a resident at Lakeside for 3 years. Mum can be a real challenge and very awkward, the staff at Lakeside are very patient and good with her. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them, mum is looked after. When she was taken to hospital overnight she was welcomed back and made very comfortable.
We have always felt part of a big family at Lakeside. They are all excellent.

The care provided 24/7 by every member of staff is exemplary. Dad was treated with total respect, dignity and understanding. All his nursing and psychological needs were addressed, staff treating him as one of their own, showing their genuine care and thoughtfulness. Standards are exceptionally high,
everyone smiles and is genuinely happy, ensuring a positive culture is portrayed. Matron and deputy matron are excellent leaders/ role models and all staff 'go the extra mile' for the residents and their families. No concerns, just the utmost praise for a fantastic team - the best. Thank you.

From the management right through to the whole care team, the standard was excellent and delivered with such a personal and cheerful touch. The matron and deputy matron came in on their days off at the weekend during the final weeks of my father-in-laws life. This was certainly going the extra mile
to ensure he has a peaceful end to his life.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) out of 10 for Lakeside Nursing & Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.922 for Lakeside Nursing & Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (120 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 129 Ratings = 4.922

  • 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 Lakeside Nursing & Residential Home is based on 11 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 11 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.
