About Lakeside Care Home
We at Lakeside Care Home are proud to offer warm, dedicated residential care for older people in the welcoming market town of Okehampton, Devon. Our home has been thoughtfully created to be a place where residents feel truly at ease, supported by a team who genuinely care. Nestled within the EX postcode area on the edge of Dartmoor, our setting benefits from the peaceful character of this much loved corner of the South West. Okehampton offers a gentle pace of life, with its historic high street, leafy parks, and stunning moorland views close by. Whilst our home provides a tranquil retreat, it remains conveniently placed for families travelling from across Devon to visit their loved ones. The local community spirit of the town often shines through in the friendly atmosphere we work hard to nurture inside. Our specialism lies in residential care for older people, and this focus shapes everything we do. For our residents, this means daily life is built around comfort, companionship, and gentle support with the everyday tasks that can become more challenging with age, such as personal care, mobility, medication, and meals. For families, it means the reassurance of knowing that a loved one is somewhere safe, where their dignity is respected and their individuality celebrated. We believe later life should be lived with purpose and joy, so we encourage residents to share their stories, pursue familiar hobbies, and enjoy the simple pleasures of good company, home cooked food, and quiet moments of calm. The Care Quality Commission awarded us an overall rating of Good following their inspection in December 2023, with Good ratings across all five key areas: Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive, and Well led. This independent recognition reflects the standards we strive to uphold every day. It tells families that the care provided here is safe and effective, that our team is genuinely caring and responsive to each resident's individual needs, and that the home is run thoughtfully and with integrity. Whilst ratings can never capture the full warmth of a home, we feel this assessment offers families a trustworthy starting point as they make one of the most important decisions of their lives. Choosing a care home is rarely a simple decision, and we understand the weight families carry as they search for the right place for someone they love. If you would like to learn more about life at Lakeside Care Home, we warmly invite you to get in touch or arrange a visit. We would be delighted to welcome you, answer your questions, and show you around so you can see for yourself the kind, considered care we offer here in Okehampton.
