My sister was full blown dementia, my brother in law was onset. She was admitted to the care of Larkfield View the seperation took it's toll on my brother in law who was also admitted this gave them the chance to be together in my sister's last days. The staff are amazing, I spent at least 1 day a week
there and got to know the staff. I take my hat off to them being so pleasant in some very difficult circumstances.

I am so delighted I put my mum into care. She is so come on leaps and bounds. Interacts with other residents and if she has a bad day, the staff take her right back to her happy place. All her personal care is taken care of with dignity and there is also plenty of cuddles for security. The food at the
dining room looks and smells amazing and they all have plenty of activities. Thank you all for taking great care of Mum

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father stayed at the home for 5 weeks from Nov- Dec last year. On every visit I was spoken to so kindly by the staff on duty and made to feel very welcome. Dad was treated with dignity, consideration and humour throughout that week and for the remainder of his stay. The staff got to know him very
well and always spoke about him with genuine affection when talking to me and my brothers. He was moved after a few days having been assessed and the lower corridor suited his needs better. One of dad's friends that he knew from the Alzheimer's club had recently moved in and dad was able to sit with him in the day lounge, enabling him to see a familiar face.
Such a great place, staffed by caring professionals. Friendly and offered a home from home.
Reply from Clare Cogan Turner, Communications at Larkfield View Care CentreThank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback about your father's stay at Larkfield View. It means a great deal to know that you and your family were made to feel so welcome, and that your dad was treated with dignity, kindness and good humour throughout his time with us. We are especially pleased that the team took the time to get to know him so well, and that being able to spend time with a familiar friend brought him comfort. Thank you again for your kind words about our caring and professional team.

My mother was a resident within the “Larkfield family” from August 2024 until December 2025.
The love, care, friendship and devotion to duty from all of the staff, but especially within the garvel unit, was above and beyond.
Larkfield View was a saving grace for both my mother and the family. Thank
you, one and all.
Reply from Clare Cogan Turner, Communications at Larkfield View Care CentreThank you so much for sharing these kind words. Your mother was a much-loved member of the Larkfield family, and it was a privilege to care for her throughout her time with us. She was a truly amazing lady who will be very much missed by everyone, especially the team in the Garvel Unit who knew her so well. We're grateful to have been part of her journey and to have supported both her and your family during that time. Thank you for placing your trust in us.

Unfortunately our Mum was only in L.V. care home for a year . Staff got to know her likes and dislikes very quickly which helped her settle. She was extremely happy there and especially loved the afternoon cuppa and home baking. She loved the staff attention painting her nails, and they always made
her laugh. She also loved the special events, which were organised.
Can't thank staff enough for making our mum's last year , happy, she laughed every day. We visited every day so knew first hand how settled and happy she was. Always a welcome from reception, cleaner, and laundry staff, smiling and acknowledgement of you.
Also for touching tribute of indivdual flowers and drivepast of funeral cortege
Can't thank all staff enough for mum's last year...made our lives better too. Pleasure to have known you all staff and residents was big extended family .
Reply from Clare Cogan Turner, Communications at Larkfield View Care CentreThank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review.

We are truly touched by your kind words about the whole team - it is lovely that everyone's efforts made a difference. It was our privilege to care for your mum and to support your family during her time with us. Your mum will be fondly remembered, and your appreciation means so much to us all. Thank you.

My mother is now the longest resident in Larkfield View. I can honestly say after 11 years I still continue to have every confidence in the team who look after my mother's welfare on a daily basis. The staff are nurturing and caring and have all the residents best interests at heart. The annual full
care home day out last month has to be mentioned. A huge undertaking and massive responsibility is taken on
Reply from Clare Cogan Turner, Communications at Larkfield View Care CentreIt is very sincerely our privilege to look after your mum and we are so grateful for your kind words. After 11 years we can certainly say that she is very much a big part of our Larkfield family and we're glad that each part of our care shows that. In regards to the Big Day Out - it is a big undertaking but it's an event we cherish. Everyone loved every minute of it and we can't wait to do it again very soon. Thank you again for such a lovely review which will mean a lot to our team.

Initially worried about my wife's settling this was soon dispelled and she soon started settling in. This was helped greatly by carers involved and all other staff. The ability to customise her room benefited her transition. Since her arrival she has started to regain weight due to the first class catering
provided.
Reply from Clare Cogan Turner, Communications at Larkfield View Care CentreThank you for sharing your kind words. We're so pleased to hear your wife has settled well and that our team were able to support a smooth transition into the home. It's wonderful to know that personalising her room and the enjoyment of our food are making such a difference to her wellbeing. Your feedback will be shared with the Larkfield View team - it means a lot to everyone who works so hard to ensure the comfort and care every of our residents everyday. Thank you.

My mum was only in Larkfield for five days before passing away. I was by her side for most of this time i was also cared for by the management and staff. I can honestly say that Larkfied view made my mums last days so very comfortable and peaceful. She was attended to with diligence and care befitting
of anybody's mum. The experience of the nurse knowing when my mum's time nad come impressed me greatly. She knew that i should call family members so that we could all be with her at the end after she passed she continued to get expert care and attention.

Having not one but two parents in the need of care I have found Larkfield View to be the most welcoming and caring residential center I have dealt with. The staff from top down are engaging and friendly. The care home puts the residents needs front and centre. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff.
The care home puts entertainment on for residents and organises days out for the residents benefit. All in all a very well run care home that prioritises the needs of its residents.

Your kind words are a wonderful reflection of what we strive for, and we'll be sure to share your feedback with the entire team-it will mean a lot to them.Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

My mum is almost 97 and has been in Larkfield View care home for almost 2 years now. Within this time her health has declined and she has become frail and finds it difficult to focus and remember things. The treatment Mum gets from the staff (nurses and care workers) is wonderful. They are always updating
me about her care needs and call me with any concerns. I visit Mum every day at Larkfield View and the staff are always cheery and happy and don't mind spending a little time updating me on the previous 24 hours.
Walking out and knowing my mum is well looked after when I am not there. I couldn't have coped trying to do this on my own with the care and attention Mum needs. I would like to give a big thank you to all the staff for the care and continuing support to Mum. They treat her like part of their family.
One little thing I would like to see is more activities for the residents as there seems to be very little at the moment and the residents tend to get frustrated with the some routine.

My mother moved into Larkfield View from hospital in September 2024. My mother was transferred to LV by ambulance, the medical staff had advised us that she was very frail and weak and unlikely to survive for more than 2-3 weeks. Almost 6 months later she is thriving, she is up and dressed everyday,
has put on weight, visits the hairdresser and admits that she feels better than she has done in a long time. This is entirely due to the wonderful care and attention that she receives from all the staff at LV

My Daughter and I went to visit my Mum and we were treated so well and staff couldn't do enough to help us. My first indication of Larkfield View Care Centre being well established was the cleanliness, no aroma's which I have noticed in other Care homes.
My mum's room and bathroom were spotless and
appears that Mum is taken great care of.

She was originally in another care home, but she never really settled in there. It may be down to the Larkfield View having a designated floor for people with dementia, the staff know how to deal with dementia patients and different situations. If there has been any small issue, it's been looked into
and resolved very quick. We are always informed of any changes going on at the home. One of the latest phone calls was to inform us that they are thinking of splitting the unit, so most of the bedbound residents are at one side of the building and the non-bedbound are on the other side, this is to prevent walkers going into the bedbound's rooms which we think is a great idea. It's good to see they are always thinking of how to improve things at the home. We have got to know the staff over the years and all are very helpful and will do anything they can to help. We both feel my mum is in very good hands in Larkfield View.

If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
