When Aimee moved to Lakeview, she was wheelchair bound, experiencing up to 30 seizures a day, and needed one-to-one support.
Her mental health had declined, and previous placements couldn’t meet her needs.
With nurse-led, personalised care and multidisciplinary support, Aimee has stabilised her health, regained mobility, rebuilt confidence, and is stepping down towards supported living with her husband.
A challenging start
Before Lakeview, Aimee lived in supported accommodation, but her health deteriorated beyond what could safely be managed.
Frequent seizures, limited mobility, and low mood left her anxious about the future.
Her needs had escalated to the point of requiring intensive, one-to-one nursing support to regain stability and independence.
“In my previous accommodation, my needs couldn’t be met, and I needed nursing care.
“When I first moved in, I was wheelchair bound, having around 30 seizures a day, and my mental health was low.
“Now, I’m completely independent, walking, and my seizures are controlled. Lakeview is a care home I’d call a place of miracles.”
Stabilising health and rebuilding confidence
Our nurse-led team monitored Aimee’s neurological and mental health closely, managing her seizures with timely medication reviews and therapy.
Structured, personalised routines, incorporating music, meaningful activities, and positive behaviour support, helped her regain emotional stability, reduce hospital admissions, and rebuild trust in staff and peers.
Regaining independence and community engagement
Aimee gradually stepped down from one-to-one support while increasing her daily independence.
She regained mobility, attends community events independently, returned to concerts after eight years, and resumed her role as an authorised Lay Minister.
She also joined a community choir, contributes to activities in the home, and serves as the home’s Service User Ambassador.
Looking ahead to married life
Now preparing to move into supported accommodation with her husband, Aimee is maintaining her independence, seizure control, and emotional wellbeing.
She continues to play a role in the local community and embrace life beyond residential care, reflecting the progress made possible through consistent, person-centred support.
