My Nana has been a resident now for 11 years at Larkfield Care Centre and feels very comfortable in her home, surrounds and continuity of staff. Over the years Nana has had and still receives excellent care, love and attention. My experience overall is excellent and I am happy with Nana's care and have
recommended to other family and friends.

My mum was assessed at her house. She was made to feel completely at ease. She was allowed to talk and express herself.
She was admitted and was made welcome by all. She has settled in and is very happy with her surroundings. Overall, myself and family are very happy with how well she is being treated
and we are completely relieved ar how she has settled in.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Larkfield View were taking the residents away to Craig Tara for a few days, my mum was to go, but the staff decided that it might have unsettled my mum. My sister and I were not happy with this decision and took my mum away for 3 nights instead but stayed for only 2 as mum was so unsettled. As a result,
we realised that the staff were right. My mum was not happy in a strange place and just wanted to get home to Larkfield View, her home. The manager and all the staff are just fabulous. A lesson to listen to the professionals, they know best.

Mum has been in Larkfield View for the past couple of months. I have found all staff to be helpful, courteous and caring. I am at the home every day at various times, therefore meeting a number of staff. Leaving my Mum in care was a very stressful thing but was made easier knowing she is being well
cared for.

I visit here many times and on all occasions, I'm always impressed with the staff's attention and treatment of the residents. The home is very pleasant and residents rooms that I have seen always look homely and personal.
I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for this type of care.

Staff are always pleasant and helpful, they treat the residents with dignity and respect, whilst still having the time to talk and have fun with them.
My dad's health has been maintained even though his dementia has progressed due to the level of care given.

Review from P S (Sister of Resident) published on 15 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My first reaction on entering the care home was the friendly and obliging staff, from all working areas. Lovely fresh surroundings. Residents that I come across looked happy and always seemed to have an activity happening or about to happen. The only downfall for my sister was her age. She was a lot
younger than fellow residents, she stayed in her room, but was happy with her television and magazines. The staff were always popping in to check on her.


Overall, very satisfied with the facility.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Father in Law was given notice by a home due to his behaviour as they could not deal with his dementia. Now he is well cared for, clean and well hydrated. The staff sit in the lounge and engage with the residents. The food is excellent and he is a lot less agitated. I have witnessed carers helping
an agitated resident who bites - they diffuse the situation by taking her for a walk.

My sister in law has been in Larkfield View Care Home since November 2013 and was welcomed, settled and shown every consideration since then.
The staff are very kindly and friendly to their patients and treat them with the respect they deserve.
She has settled down well and seems happy and content
with her treatment.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.669)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.669) out of 10 for Larkfield View Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.891 for Larkfield View Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.891
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.778 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Larkfield View Care Centre is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. 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. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.778
  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.
