Mum says she is happy we have found her a nice place in which to live. She is particular, liking cleanliness and order. Mum may have lost her memory, but she hasn’t lost her sensibilities.


It’s expensive, no doubt. To see mum relaxed and eating well, it must be worth the nightmare of seeing her

capital deplete. I think it is what dad would have wanted.


She has made friends; she feels happy and safe. She feels ownership of her spacious room and bathroom. The staff are her friends and she is proud of where she lives. When we visit, we feel comfortable and relaxed about making tea for ourselves.


There are no negatives. (Apart from affording the fees). Recently, hairdressing and chiropody have been included without charge. Every little helps.


Nursing care is not an option at the moment but we hope this will become a future option so that mum does not have to move on should her health deteriorate. Mum is 91 years young and at chair exercise, she kicks high with jubilation.

Lakeside Lodge Care Home is a very pleasant residential home. The staff cannot do enough for you lovely people, the food is very good I have put on weight in the time I have been there three weeks.
They have plenty of activities for the residents and most join in. I have no complaints at all and look
forward to another 4 week stay in a few weeks after further surgery.

My mother came here after a prolonged stay in hospital. Up until then, she had been very independent. I never dreamed I would have to place mum in a care home but from our very first visit to look around everyone is so friendly. As soon as mum was shown to her beautiful room she hasn't stopped smiling.
All the staff and carers have introduced themselves to us. I know she will be very happy here.

Lakeview Lodge Care Home is a really good residential home. All the carers there are very professional and caring. But, if your loved one suffers from dementia and has some behaviour issues, or will develop in the future behavioural challenges as the illness progresses, then this residential home is
probably not for you. Their core competence is residential and it's more like a very good OAP home than a care home.

My husband has lived at Lakeview Lodge for three weeks. My three children and myself have been very impressed with the care he has received there.
It is always difficult to send a relative into a home, but the amenities there are excellent and he is taken out for walks regularly.
The food is very
good, his room comfortable with a view of the lake and we have found all the staff so helpful and very pleasant.

Upon arrival, my mother was made to feel very welcome, as were we.
She has been treated with respect and dignity. She is so much more mobile than she was before, getting involved with the activities.
The staff cannot do enough for her.
Any request is dealt with promptly and efficiently. Due to low
numbers of residents, the activities are currently difficult to organise.

My mother has been here for just over two weeks and I am overwhelmed with the care and support mum has received. Lakeview Lodge is a beautiful care home with a wonderful team of friendly, caring and dedicated staff. I am very happy with my mum living here! I would recommend Lakeview Lodge to anyone
looking for a care home for a loved one in the Milton Keynes area.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.753)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.753) out of 10 for Lakeview Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.753 for Lakeview Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (212 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.753

  • 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 Lakeview Lodge Care Home is based on 24 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 24 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.
