Questions families ask
Can Lakeside provide special diets?
Yes. They provide special diets including diabetic and low-fat options, respect residents’ preferences and aim to offer a good choice of food.
Would a resident have to leave if their health deteriorates?
Rarely. A resident normally only leaves if long-term specialist nursing care is needed. Hospital care can be arranged, with district nursing support after return.
Can residents keep their existing GP at Lakeside?
Yes, provided the home is within the GP’s catchment area. Otherwise, they can support registration with a local surgery.
Does Lakeside have an on-site hairdresser?
Yes. A hairdresser visits every fortnight and offers cutting, blow-dry, sets and perms for ladies and gentlemen.
Can residents go out with family from Lakeside?
Definitely, unless medical reasons prevent it. Families should give advance warning so the resident can be prepared and the return time is known.
How much does Lakeside Residential Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Lakeside Residential Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Rochdale council paid on average £796 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
