When mum needed respite care, luckily we found Lakeview in our village! The care given was superb. Mum was well looked after. Being a lady who always liked to look good in her business life, she was delighted to discuss her outfit of the day and to have her nails polished. We were more than happy.

I usually visit once a month with members of the local church. We have a short service of hymns for those who wish to join in. The residents are always very happy and seem to really enjoy living in Lakeview. We sit with them and have a cup of tea or coffee after the service.
It is always a joy to
be with them and the staff who are also very kind and friendly.

My mother became a resident in October 2024. Her care has since been exemplary. The care home is bright, spacious and welcoming. The staff are caring and attentive, seeing to all her needs and always encouraging her to engage in activities and leave the confines of her room. I have only praise for their
efforts.

When I was searching for a care home for my mother, Hallmark Lakeview stood out from the others. I visited because it seemed to have a genuine community spirit. The staff were warm and welcoming, everybody seemed to know who all the family visitors were. The residents seemed genuinely happy and pleased
to be there.
My mother has now been at Lakeview for a few years and I can honestly say that the team constantly strive to make life better for the residents all the time.

I found Lakeview care home after my uncle was admitted to hospital after a fall at home. He moved into Lakeview initially for a respite period but he settled so well, he agreed to make it permanent soon after. Thank you to Lakeview for facilitating a very smooth transition for him, for being efficient
and for great care.

Reply from Inder Hanzra, General Manager at Hallmark Lakeview

Thank you for your kind words. It is great to hear that your uncle settled so well with us, it is always our aim to make every resident feel as comfortable and happy as possible. The team will be delighted to hear this.

Every day I spend with my mother at Lakeview is wonderful, thanks to the superb family of staff there. Warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, relaxed, patient and so caring. I helped my mother join in with some of their numerous activities and watched the smiles on the faces of all the residents around us.
What magic they work there! We are so very lucky to have these lovely staff helping us through the difficulties caused by dementia, our mother is in very safe hands.

My Mother moved into Lakeview in March 2024, and I cannot speak too highly of the level of care and attention she has received. It was a big step for Mum but all the staff and management have helped her to settle in and made her feel at home she says how safe and looked after she feels, which is very
important to her and to the family. Mum had her 100th Birthday shortly before she moved, and Lakeview gave her a lovely party at the beginning of May to celebrate - so kind and much appreciated by the family.

Reply from Inder Hanzra, General Manager at Hallmark Lakeview

Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words, we are so glad to hear that Mum felt safe and looked after by us, this is something we strive to do as a team at Lakeview. Being able to celebrate her 100th birthday was our privilege and we are so glad that we could do that for your family.

Mum became a resident in 2023 after extensive research into various local homes.
We were and continue to be impressed with the professionalism of the staff, the homely nature and excellent facilities of Lakeview.
It gives us great peace of mind knowing that Mum is being looked after as we would want
her to be.

Difficult to part the care. Good to have the check-in and out recorded. My friend was sitting comfortably and well-dressed, as always. The residents had been making biscuits which we shared with a hot drink. The staff were having a meeting but there were two in the sitting room to chat to and ask various
questions about Christmas plans etc. As always a friendly welcome from the reception staff.

We were very happy with how Mum was welcomed into Hallmark Lakeview. She made rapid recovery from her spell in hospital with the encouragement of the staff and we knew she was in safe hands. Christmas was extra special and it was clear how much effort the staff put in to make the occasions enjoyable.
Thanks to all!

Mum needs a lot of care and support following a recent stroke. The staff ensure that she receives this, and although it had taken time for her to settle in, she appears quite happy here. The home is bright, clean and welcoming. Mum's physical appearance now is much improved and so different from the
way she looked on discharge from the hospital. My only reservation is about the laundry service - clothes are returned unironed and badly creased, with unidentified marks, and are not stored away properly.

We are so happy with the wonderful care my grandma received since coming to Lakeview. The staff are so kind and have always strived to help Grandma as much a they can.

My grandmother moved to Lakeview two months ago due to her previous home closing. She is visually impaired and was very anxious about having to settle in somewhere else.
All the team have been so welcoming, patient and kind with her and the family. They have gone to great lengths to find out about
her past and present interests, enabling her to keep to her routine and provide a stimulating and rewarding environment.
Lakeview seems a very happy home for all the residents that I have met over the weeks, I really can't fault it!

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such lovely words about the home and team.

We're thrilled that she is now part of the Lakeview family.

My mother is very content at Lakeview, she feels safe and secure and enjoys the environment of the home and all the friendly staff. She enjoys participating in a range of activities, particularly exercise classes and quizzes. She is very well cared for. Obviously, all this comes at a price but we still
feel it is very good value for money and for the knowledge that she is being well looked after.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.866)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.866) out of 10 for Hallmark Lakeview 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.866 for Hallmark Lakeview is calculated as follows: ( (298 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 343 Ratings = 4.866

  • 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 Hallmark Lakeview is based on 29 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 29 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.
