I was delighted by the kind and professional care I received at Lakeview Grange. Having broken my ankle very badly I knew I would not return home until I was able to weight bear after surgery. After a horrendous short stay at an alternative nursing home. It was so comforting to receive such a warm and
thorough admission procedure to ascertain my needs and these were met throughout my 3 week stay. Without exception, the carers were kind, prompt and professional. The room was luxurious and the food was very good. I am so grateful to everyone and will miss them!

We were invited to our friends' Wedding Anniversary party at the Lakeview Grange which they now call home. The celebration was planned in every detail and was fully enjoyed by everyone. It was fantastic! The staff are always so professional, caring and welcoming and our resident friends are so happy
there. This home always exceeds our expectations every time we visit.

I couldn't have been more pleased with Lakeview and its staff.
My mother needed respite care after a major heart attack and she was looked after very well both by the staff and the contractors (particularly the physio) such that she has been able to return home much earlier than any of the family could
have expected. The admission process was slick enabling us to move Mum from a cardiac ward quickly and easily. She made many friends whilst there and it would be fair to say she will miss being there.
It was such a weight off the family's mind to know that she was well looked after and really enjoying her time there.

Reply from Jackie Cridlin, -Home Admission Advisor at Lakeview Grange

Thank you so very much for taking the time to write such kind words. Delighted to know that Mum is home safe and sound. Please send her much love from the staff and residents. Best regards

My uncle was a resident for nearly a year and was treated with dignity and respect, the staff took their time to engage with him at every opportunity and he was stimulated and happy. There was a lovely French carer, not sure of his name now who was particularly wonderful with him. The whole place feels
like a hotel, not a care home. The dining room dressed wonderfully, the food excellent even wine and in doing so it treats the elderly like valued people, not in-patients. The entertainment schedule was varied and they even have a cinema room and guest dining room to use. I just can't fault it, was wonderful knowing he was being cared for so well in such a lovely environment and just a shame he couldn't have stayed longer.

My experience with Lakeview Grange has been nothing short of fantastic, starting right from my first contact with them, through the admission of my mother over a year ago, and continuing to last week, when they hosted her 100th birthday party. Living overseas, I rely on good communication, which get
regularly by email and by video call chats with my mother, which the staff facilitate. On my visits, the staff always remember me and are very warm and friendly. The home is absolutely immaculate, beautifully designed, decorated, and maintained, and could easily be mistaken for a 5-star hotel. Not only the carers, but all the other staff too, are very helpful, personable, competent, and provide excellent care - they are clearly not just "doing their job" but are committed and genuine. The food is excellent and varied and cannot be faulted. No care home is cheap, but I can't imagine a better setting or a better staff at any cost.

My father has only been in Lakeview for a month but has really improved since living here. The staff are absolutely amazing, so respectful, so kind, so patient and encouraging. I can't speak highly enough about all of the staff at Lakeview. There are activities every day which are well run and thought
out and the lady is very encouraging in getting the residents to join in and socialise. The interior design and layout are fabulous, more like a five-star hotel with everything you could need to be comfortable and we really enjoy the cinema facility and coffee area with homemade cakes every day. The gardens are well maintained, the bedroom is clean, spacious and light and Dad enjoys all his meals. This is a lovely place, is more like being in a community than being in a care home. I would like to thank every single member of staff who has helped with Dad's care - you are amazing and an absolute credit! Thank you so much.

I’m really impressed with Lakeview Grange. I regularly visit my friend here and amazed of all the facilities it has to offer, what really stood out to me was you have a private function room you can book out for family and friends for special occasions. The staff are exceptional, nothing is too much
trouble, lots of entertainment and overall a very welcoming community and my friend absolutely loves it.

I received a warm welcome from the receptionist on arrival. All staff are very professional and supportive, ensuring that my friends' needs are respectively met. The individual rooms are spacious and cosy. My friend enjoys the cinema room and sitting out in the communal lounge drinking coffee and chatting
to others. There is a variety of activities offered on a daily basis. The outdoors is easily accessible with beautiful gardens that are well maintained. The building is a new and up-to-date care facility with decor that makes it feel like home from home, offering a friendly, warm welcoming place to visit.

I visited several care homes before reaching out to the home admission advisor and the team; the difference in facilities, welfare and care was clear to see.
I imagine my circumstances - watching my mum become more vulnerable, whilst at the same time allowing her to live her life and look after herself
- is common and I found it hard to make the necessary step into Lakeside, initially coaxing her in for a couple of weeks 'trial.'
I needn't have worried - she loves the building, loves the staff and loves being there; it's a fantastic place.

My wife went to Lakeview Grange for two weeks following a hip replacement surgery and from day one the atmosphere was cordial. All staff were very friendly and pleasant. The home was spacious, clean and the decor was excellent. Everything was beyond expectations. The staff from managers down within,
worked on different floors, went beyond their line of duty and did whatever was asked for. My wife was very impressed that she stayed for another week savoring the atmosphere that prevailed, including care (personal), entertainment, refreshments, etc. I will strongly recommend your care home to those who require your services, again many thanks to all staff.

Mum had been in and out of hospital over a period of time when we realised she couldn’t be left alone at home anymore and it didn’t work with carers coming in. My brother researched homes in Chichester and came across Lakeview Grange.
Mum moved in at the beginning of July and to our surprise has
settled in really quickly. I think she finally realised that she liked all the attention and just didn’t want to be on her own anymore. The home has been brilliant helping her feel ‘at home’. They also make us feel very welcome too - it’s a really lovely place.

My mother aged 97 has developed moderate dementia and my mother as her carer needed some respite. She first went into Lakeview Grange in May 2023. She doesn't mind being away from home at all. From the moment she arrived, she and the whole family were made to feel welcome. The manager was first class
as were all the staff. I live locally and dropped in to see my mother at all times of the day without any notice. The home was spotlessly clean and my mother was always being attended to and was involved in all the activities including singing songs and Skittles. They did her hair and nails and she had company from other residents. She had a nice stay and will again.

My husband and I visited Lakeview Grange on the 16th of June to see my sister and brother-in-law who had recently entered the home. From the moment we entered to the moment we left 4 hours later, I was impressed with everything I saw. The house was spotless and my sister's room was of the highest quality
and the seating area in the home and garden was comfortable and immaculate. We had lunch which was excellent and everything we saw and experienced was outstanding and the friendly service that we received from everybody we met. Everybody was cheerful and friendly and gave the impression that they genuinely cared and had time to talk to us and my sister. On the basis of our experience and my sister's experience, I would unhesitatingly recommend the home to anyone.

Although this is my first and albeit brief visit to such a facility I am greatly impressed with the range and quality of care and consideration provided by the outstanding member of management and staff - a magnificent team. From conversations with others more experienced it clearly would be very difficult
to find a more satisfying care home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.918)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.918) out of 10 for Lakeview Grange 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 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.918 for Lakeview Grange is calculated as follows: ( (499 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 539 Ratings = 4.918

  • 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 Grange is based on 46 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 46 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.

Job Title: Home Admissions Advisor

In my role, I work with families and friends who are looking for a care home for their loved one. From the moment they make their enquiry for care to when they move their loved one into Lakeview Grange, I ensure their journey goes as smoothly as possible by supporting them every step of the way for a smooth transition.


I started my career in care as a retirement housing manager in Central London and for the last 20 years, I have supported Home Admission Advisors with training in care homes across the country. In the last 3 years, I have stepped down from a regional role and decided to focus on just one care Home, hence my role at Lakeview Grange. I treat every family with dignity and respect and will go above and beyond to ensure family members receive the support they need in helping them to make the right decisions for, what can be a very emotional experience.


Born in South London and now living in Chichester with my partner. Between us, we have four children who have all flown the nest.


My family mean the world to me, and I try to meet with them as much as possible. Being happy with a positive attitude is my attitude to life.

Everyone that knows me, knows that I take pride in presenting myself well and good hospitality is very important to me.
I am thrilled to join the team at Cinnamon Care Collection and hope to bring my personal touch to improve our services.

Job Title: Head Chef

Joined: 2024

As Head Chef, I work with a team who are passionate and dedicated about creating exciting, varied menus, using only the best fresh produce. I regularly communicate our residents at Lakeview Grange, to understand their likes and dislikes which helps me create freshly cooked dishes to the residents liking.


It is important to understand every resident’s dietary requirements so, communication is of the utmost importance.


Our residents are our family and there is nothing better than sharing beautifully prepared meals with friends and family.


I have over 40 years working in the food industry. My career started in Selsey working in local pubs and restaurants. My decision to work in the care sector enabled me to have a healthy work-life balance, it was the best career decision I have made. Now, I can spend more time with my lovely wife and daughter where we share a lovely home in Chichester.
