About Lakeside Watermead Care Home
Here at Lakeside Watermead Care Home in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, we provide nursing and residential care for a wide range of people, including older adults, younger adults, and those living with dementia, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. Our aim is straightforward: to make sure every person who lives here feels genuinely comfortable, respected, and well looked after. We know that choosing a care home is one of the most significant decisions a family can make, and we do not take that lightly. From the moment someone comes through our doors, we try to understand who they are as a person, what matters to them day to day, and how we can support them in a way that feels right for them rather than simply following a set routine. Our team includes registered nurses and care staff who between them hold experience across a broad range of needs. Whether someone requires nursing support, help managing a long term condition, or simply companionship and a safe place to call home, we work together to provide consistent, attentive care. We want to be honest with the people we support and their families. Our most recent CQC inspection rated us as requiring improvement, and we have taken that feedback seriously. We are actively working through the areas identified and making real changes. We believe it is important to be open about where we are on that journey rather than gloss over it. Aylesbury is a town with a strong community feel, and we try to reflect that within our home. We welcome families to be involved, to visit, and to be part of life here. If you would like to find out more or come and have a look around, please do get in touch. We are always happy to talk.
