We all feel as a family that Mum is very well cared for. All staff are very friendly and supportive. Even when Mum can have her difficult moments they handle her very nicely. They have a good choice of food and plenty of cake.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. It is really nice to hear that you feel Mum is well cared for and supported by our team.
We all know that everyone can have their difficult moments, and our team always tries to support Mum with kindness, patience and a smile.
Thank you again for your kind words, they mean a lot to us all at Larkland.

Thank you all for your expertise.
Thank you so much for your lovely review and kind words about Larkland House.
It is wonderful to hear that your family member is happy and that you feel she is being cared for with dignity, patience, and kindness. Knowing that she has a nursing background herself makes your comments...
Reassuring to know my Father is being looked after and cared for in a professional way. Staff are supportive, caring and attentive. Nothing is too much. Larkland's activities are varied and engaging, although Father does not want to join in and is not forced either. Compliments to the Chef, the team and the delicious menus. Overall, if my Father is comfortable and happy, so am I. As a family, we visit often and at different times of the day. We are pleased with the care Father receives and the welcome we get. Important we see teamwork and communication and both are evident.
At Larkland House Care Home - Care UK we set a high standard for ourselves, so we are very pleased to hear that your experience with us has been a positive one.
Larkland is a 'home from home' as I was unable to care for my husband who has mixed dementia & partial sight. I visit every day & am happy with his care especially as he can be difficult at times. Some carers are very young & in experienced so the long hours are tiring, therefore, perhaps more time should be spent talking to residents' in slacker times during the day.
We are delighted to hear that Larkland House has become a home from home for your husband and that you are happy with the care and support he receives. We understand that caring for someone living with mixed dementia and partial sight can...
The carers give him so much support.

My mum has serious dementia , and has been in Larklands for just over a year , she is well cared for and gets on well with the staff , I have no concerns for her well-being , and she seems happy with her situation. I visit her almost every day.
I was unable to look after myself. Moved to the care home. All of them look after very well- I have no concerns.

Our mum has lived in Larkland House for over a year now and we would not want her to be anywhere else. She is obviously very fond of the staff team, as they are of her. I don't worry about her now in the way I did when she was at home with carers. I know the team take care of her and we can enjoy our time visiting mum in a safe and caring environment. Any questions are answered, any concerns are addressed and we also appreciate the care of the nursing team as mum's needs increase. We love our mum hugely and feel she is happy and well cared for at Larkland, that's all we could hope for.

I looked at four care homes before deciding on Larkland House. I ran a residence for nearly 200 university students in Kensington for 10 years of my life. Students are young whereas Larkland residents are old, but the management principles are the same. I think I can see a good place when I find one.
The leadership and administrative teams at Larkland are both very good; the senior staff are always friendly and helpful. As for the nursing team, Larkland has no contract staff; the care team is hand-picked, and it shows! Relationships within the team seem to be excellent. There is lots of healthy laughter, which is always a good sign! And I would especially like to commend the chefs, because the food is very good - probably the best institutional food I have come across.
Overall, I am very pleased that I chose Larkland House for my wife.
My mother Ena was admitted for respite and medical conditions to the care home on 24/11 for two weeks to have constant care for a bed sore. The staff was very helpful and caring and went the extra mile with mums food requirements when she didn't fancy what was on the menu. The care that she was shown was excellent, every member of staff she had attending her was so caring and attentive to her needs.
All good, staff very good.
Nan was a resident at Larklands after being discharged from hospital. From the time she arrived until she passed away a few weeks later, the team of nurses, carers and support workers went above and beyond what was expected in how they cared for her and made her comfortable. They treated her like family, and also worked so hard making us welcome whenever we visited. The final weeks of her life were made easier and more comfortable due to the efforts of all staff
Clean and tidy and supported with all her needs
Mum able to hold conversations and concentration so much better than prior to care home.
Staff keep me informed and are always friendly and polite
His care staff were friendly, kind and caring. He has said that he enjoyed his holiday and would like to return for another stay.
At Care UK we set a high standard for ourselves, so we are very pleased to hear that your experience with us has been a positive one.
Kind, caring and compassionate team at Larklands, the support they have given our Mum since she was admitted just before Christmas 2024 has been great, lots of smiles from the team and always willing to go the extra mile for everyone.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience.We set a high standard for ourselves, so we are very pleased to hear that your experience with us has been a positive one.Many thanks, the Care UK team
The building is kept very clean, Plus the food is tasty and plentiful and if the patient does not like the what is on the menu.
Then the kitchen make up something which the patient has requested.
Every body aims to please the patient what ever there need.

Thank you for the amazing care you have provided for our mum. Although it's been a very sad and emotional time for us as a family, you have been amazing from the day she was admitted to the home, to the very sad end. Not only did you take great care of Mum, but you also looked after all of us as a family which is gratefully appreciated. Thank you.

The medication was never on time, I had to chase multiple times a day. The alarm cord was disconnected, after it was connected while I was there. The room never seemed to get cleaned. Staff never regularly checked on my relative. If emergency button was pressed, it could take over 5 minutes for a response. My relative passed and I was told I could take my time with them, I was later called into the hall and told I needed to arrange the funeral directors to come and collect my relative. When they were taking my relative away, I was being stared at by another visitor from their room. Disrespectful!
The caregivers are very friendly, but unable to carry out their duties effectively as they are all understaffed.
I would not recommend this facility.
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your loved one. Please know my thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I am sorry to read of your experience at Larkland House. At Care UK we hold ourselves to high...
I found the staff to be nothing short of superb with a very friendly happy go happy-go-lucky attitude and I have seen nothing but respect and love for all the residents including my mother.
Sadly, my mother just passed away, but I would recommend this home to anybody.
Carers are kind, attentive and knowledgeable. They have developed an understanding of my mother's preferences, discomforts and behaviours during the short time she has been with them.
I have seen my mother become much more alert and recover her interest in her immediate surroundings. I have been delighted to witness a return of some of her cognitive skills that I thought had been irretrievably lost due to her condition. She is also gaining a little of the weight she had lost in recent times. I believe that the quality of care, attention and humanity that my mother is receiving from the care staff at Larkland House is making this progress from a dramatic decline possible.

Meet the Team (1)

Hi, I’m Kate. I joined Care UK nearly 10 years ago as a nurse and have since progressed from Registered Nurse to Deputy Manager – Clinical and now Home Manager at Larkland House. I’m a Registered Nurse (RGN) and have completed NVQ Level 5, Best Interest Assessor (BIA) training and the Future Home Manager Programme, alongside ongoing leadership, clinical and care training.
I have always been passionate about caring for older people and wanted to work somewhere where residents are treated as individuals and can feel safe, respected and at home. I’m proud of the opportunities Care UK has given me to develop and grow throughout my career.
I believe a Home Manager needs to be caring, approachable and passionate, with good communication skills and the ability to lead by example. Supporting and empowering colleagues to develop their skills and confidence is also very important to me.
My favourite part of the day is spending time with residents and the team. I love seeing residents happy and comfortable and working together with colleagues, relatives, friends and the local community to make Larkland a welcoming place to live and work.
One of my biggest career highlights has been progressing from a nurse to Home Manager at Larkland House. Having been part of the home for nearly 10 years, I’m proud to continue my journey here with residents and colleagues who mean so much to me.
Outside of work, family is the most important thing to me. I enjoy spending quality time with my family and making memories together.
