Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 28 good, 2 exceptional, 3 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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. ?
Lakeview is a 30-bed nursing home in Leigh, Wigan. The home is its own registered provider. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in October 2025. Its previous rating, in January 2023, was Requires improvement, so the home has improved. The typical rating in Wigan is about 4 years old, so this one is fairly recent. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 3 fell below good. The lowest was “workforce wellbeing and enablement” (some shortfalls).
Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 3 out of 5 in May 2026. 64% of homes in Wigan score the top mark of 5. In Wigan, 91% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Heathside Residential Home, 1.5 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding.
