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
It 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...

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.

Only downside is it is a bit expensive. And we never understood the costs when she entered but I wouldn't move her.

Thank you for your kind words about the care your mum receives and our staff - it means a great deal to us. Most importantly we're so pleased your mum is so happy here. We are, however, sorry to hear you felt the costs were unclear, if you have any queries at all please don't hesitate to contact our Service Manager she will be happy to discuss them with you.

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.

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.

Thank you so much for your kind words - the team at Larkfield is truly grateful for your thoughtful review. It's our pleasure and privilege to care for your sister and we're glad to know she feels comfortable and well looked after.
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...
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.
Thank you for your kind words, and taking the time to leave a review - we appreciate your feedback and will let the home know.

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

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.
Excellent service. Mum recently took ill, a doctor was called and Mum treated with care. Now recovering, she is enjoying activities.
