About Lakes Home Care
We at Lakes Home Care are proud to provide trusted home care across Kendal and the surrounding communities of Westmorland and Furness. Nestled in the heart of the Lake District, our team supports individuals to live safely, comfortably and independently in the place they love most: their own home. Operating from the LA postcode area, we are well placed to reach families throughout Kendal and the wider region. The familiarity of local lanes, market town life and countryside means our carers truly understand the community they serve. Whether a loved one lives in a quiet village cottage, a town centre flat or a family home on the outskirts, we bring care directly to their door, fitting around the rhythm of daily life rather than asking them to adapt to ours. Our approach to home care is shaped around the individual. We support older people who simply need a helping hand with everyday tasks, companionship and personal care, as well as those living with more complex needs. For families navigating a dementia diagnosis, our carers offer calm, patient and consistent support, helping to maintain routines, reduce anxiety and preserve cherished memories within familiar surroundings. We also welcome younger adults and those with learning disabilities or autism, working closely with each person to build confidence, encourage independence and support meaningful daily activities. For individuals living with mental health conditions, our team provides a steady, compassionate presence, helping with everything from medication reminders to emotional reassurance during more difficult days. Physical disability support is delivered with dignity at its core, whether that means mobility assistance, help with personal care or simply ensuring the home environment remains safe and comfortable. We also support people living with visual or hearing impairments, adapting how we communicate and engage so that every interaction feels respectful, clear and unhurried. For families, choosing care at home can feel like a significant step. Our goal is to make that decision feel reassuring rather than daunting. We take time to listen, to understand the personality, preferences and life story of each person we support, and to build a care plan that genuinely reflects who they are. Relatives can take comfort in knowing their loved one is receiving thoughtful, person centred support whilst remaining in the home filled with their memories, photographs and possessions. Lakes Home Care is currently awaiting its first Care Quality Commission inspection, meaning we do not yet hold a published CQC rating. Whilst a formal rating is still to come, we remain fully committed to the standards the CQC sets out, focusing on safety, effectiveness, caring practice, responsiveness and strong leadership in every visit we make. Families are always welcome to ask us questions about how we work, how we recruit and train our carers, and how we keep loved ones safe. If you are exploring home care options in Kendal for yourself or a family member, we would be delighted to hear from you. A conversation costs nothing, and it can be the gentle first step towards finding the right support. Please reach out to our friendly team to discuss your situation, ask any questions you may have and learn how we can help your loved one continue to enjoy life at home with confidence, comfort and care.
