Overall Experience5.0 out of 5
Our mother's health had been deteriorating and after yet another hospital stay and the START Team being involved, my sister and I needed to find care for her and we chose Lakeshore. I continued caring for mum but for 1 visit a day and Lakeshore accommodated this. We worked well together and communication
was excellent, through the communication book which we all wrote in, and also I was given a mobile number for queries or emergencies. Mum needed consistency and she knew her carers and their times - very important to her. All staff were very friendly and professional from carers to office staff and mum, who initially didn't want carers in, soon accepted and was happy with them. We could feel secure in the knowledge that we would be told immediately of any issues, eg falls or illness and when the ambulance was called they always stayed until I got there. Mum's needs were accommodated as they changed, enabling her to stay in her home until she died, as she wished. We recommend Lakeshore.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
Outstanding - the service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - the service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires improvement - the service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - the service is performing badly and we've taken enforcement action against the provider of the service.
No rating/under appeal/rating suspended - there are some services which we can't rate, while some might be under appeal from the provider. Suspended ratings are being reviewed by us and will be published soon.
Ticks and crosses
We don't rate every type of service. For services we haven't rated we use ticks and crosses to show whether we've asked them to take further action or taken enforcement action against them.
There's no need for the service to take further action. If this service has not had a CQC inspection since it registered with us, our judgement may be based on our assessment of declarations and evidence supplied by the service.
The service must make improvements.
At least one standard in this area was not being met when we inspected the service and we have taken enforcement action.
