CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
The home changed owner in July 2026. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
Lakeview Care Home is a 151-bed nursing home in Walsall, Staffordshire, run by AHC Lakes Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Staffordshire has 28 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
AHC Lakes Limited has run the home since July 2026, when it changed owner. In Staffordshire, 78% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in May 2025. 85% of homes in Staffordshire also score 5. AHC Lakes Limited runs 2 care homes, and all 2 rated are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
In April 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That is up from Requires improvement in November 2017. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 51% of homes in Staffordshire. Here is how rating age varies by council.
