The whole of the Lakeside family should be proud of themselves as we, as a family, thank them as a family. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lakeside as somewhere for people with dementia or other serious mental illness. There is a high level of commitment to providing a positive experience and constructive activity.
The staff work as a team, are very compassionate and nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. My family, friends and I have always found Lakeside to be friendly and supportive to us all, with a warm welcome. The communication with Lakeside is excellent, as we are always kept fully informed of his condition and changes to routines.

Services
I have recommended 'Lakeside' to a family and they are very satisfied with the ethos care provided. From day one, my wife and I knew that the focus should not be on superficial luxurious surroundings that are often signs of things lacking elsewhere, but on providing a family environment where residents and their families could feel relaxed and happy.
The staff work as a team, are very compassionate and nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. The food is excellent with a good variety and always home cooked from scratch, using good quality ingredients. Lakeside provides a comprehensive list of care services over a 24-hour period. Each of our specialist services is suitable for both the short and long-term care of the elderly suffering from dementia or mental illness.
The name 'Namaste' was given very specifically because of its meaning, which is, "to honour the spirit within". Residents that require this type of care don't take heed of the day of the week and nor do we. For this reason, Namaste Care is provided seven days of the week. As well as gently tending to their needs, our staff involve them in a variety of meaningful activities by using a specialised "loving touch" approach.
Every room at Lakeside is different and has its own character, enhanced by people's personal possessions and decorations. All rooms are beautifully and comfortably furnished. Residents are supported to do as much or as little as they would like and are key to choosing the activities and events that are offered.

Jason and manager Debbie and their team have cared for my Mother who sadly passed away two years ago, they are now looking after my Aunt and my Father. In the 5 years I have known them, I can honestly say their care, compassion that they treat their residence, and families is of the highest standard. It is always hard putting family members in to a nursing home, but my mind is always at ease and I know my family members are being cared for.

Report
I live very near to this establishment and have no relatives living in this establishment but I have visited a few times when they've had jumble sales on to raise some extra cash. The place is a converted house and is rather dark inside, it doesn't exactly exude a happy atmosphere, but appearances can be deceptive. The staff here seem to be very committed to the care of their clients, some of whom seem to be extremely frail.
