Over all time Larkland House has 75 reviews.
My husband has been a resident at Lackland for over a year and couldn't be receiving better care. They always have time for me as well.
Grandad moved to the care home back in December 2023, at first we had apprehension as he had lived well at home. He settled in almost straightaway putting our minds at rest. A big shout out to every staff member at the home as they go above and beyond daily.
Fantastic care home, the staff really care about their residents and my mother looks and reacts better every day. They have even managed to heal her ulcers which she has had for over 10 years. Thank you.
My father was cared for at Larkland House following a diagnosis of terminal cancer. I was so grateful to all the staff we met who really cared for him, made him comfortable and took time to get to know him. I was impressed by the level of expertise and care, with very thorough systems in place to ensure 24-hour care and a good range of facilities (including nice food and a lifestyle coordinator). It is a very comfortable home and I would think about staying there myself when the time comes!

I must say the level of care my mother receives is second to none, the team always bend over backwards to see my mother's needs are met. The home is spotless the whole housekeeping team work so hard to make sure everything is in order. The activity team have a relationship with all the residents they create a family community. What I’ve seen of the food is excellent, and the catering brigade is led by an excellent head chef.
My mum has been living in this care home for sometime, care is amazing the staff are really amazing how they care for Mum as she does have complex care needs. Me and my family are rest assured that Mum is being looked after and safe.

My stay at Larkland was a very enjoyable experience in many ways. The food was of a very high standard both in variety and quality. I ate in the dining room and in bed. The staff looked after me with skill, intelligence and, above all, care.

My husband has been living at Larkland’s House since the summer. I couldn’t ask for better care for my husband. Everyone is wonderful, from housekeepers, carers and managers. He can be awkward at times, but they are so patient with him.

I can’t praise this home or the staff more. Their kindness and care towards my friend is outstanding, I would personally like to thank them all for what they do we as friends of Sheila could be more happy for her.
She has improved since moving here which is so reassuring for us knowing Mum is safe and happy.
The support we get as a family is good and whatever questions we have the care home always try to help as best they can.

Many thanks the Care UK team.
It is not only the care they give to the residents, it's also the care and understanding they give to the family, we have had some very 'hard' visits and they have shown us nothing but kindness.
We do understand that sometimes visits can be 'hard' but we are always around to offer an ear, shoulder, or advice.

Dad came to stay for a few weeks to give Mum a break. Everything went smoothly from the initial meeting to Dad coming back home. Later in the year, Mum has already booked Dad back in as she feels so confident with the whole process.

My mother-in-law has been in the home since June 2023. Myself and partner couldn’t be happier with the care she is having. We see her as much as we can and love the pictures on social media which shows her enjoying herself on a daily basis. The whole team are super.
Thank you for your time, and we look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks from the whole team at Larkland House.
My friend has been staying in the home for a while now. The staff are great, really couldn’t ask for better. My friends' confidence just keeps growing and growing. The food always looks nice and I know my friend enjoys the cakes on offer.

It is very important that Parkinsons patients are given their medication on time and for whatever reason there are times when this does not happen. I also believe that it is wrong that the Parkinsons Nurse only reviews the effectiveness of the medication every 6 months. Any changes to my wife's medication have only occurred after I contacted the Parkinsons Nurse and made recommendations.
My wife has only a few teeth left and finds that she is unable to eat a significant number of the meals and the food gets sent back uneaten. She cant chew chicken.
Social events are good and well organised.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your wife’s care. At Larkland House care home we set a high standard, so we are delighted to hear that you have had such a positive experience and we are now pleased to hear your wife is enjoying all mealtimes. We’d like to reassure...
My wife's care is ok but some staff need more training. She needs more going to more music and animal. I have to check to make sure she has her own clothes on. Things are corrected when speaking to the manager I should not have to do this if the staff had done their job.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave us feedback about your experience. At Larkland House Care Home - Care UK we set a high standard for ourselves, so we are pleased to hear that you have had positive interactions with our newly appointed home manager, who has worked hard to enhance...
Mum has dementia and her moods can be temperamental but the carers deal with this in a professional and caring way.
All the staff are friendly not just to the residents but to their family and friends. The atmosphere is always a place of happiness.
Rooms are a good size with great walk in showers.
Food - the choice is amazing. We have been lucky to have lunch with Mum on Christmas Day and Easter Sunday and if we had gone to a 5 star restaurant the food would not of been any better.
Entertainment is always made to be fun and to keep the residents stimulated.
Staff/carers - always so kind and caring.
Overall I give Larkland House 10/10 or 5 stars.
Thank you for looking after my Mum.
Our cousin has been looked after at Larkland House for the past year. It was recommended to us by a close friend whose father also stayed there for a while. The whole team are kind, friendly and treat him with great patience and respect and do their best to make sure he is as happy as he can be. We have not given a rating for Activities because our cousin prefers not to participate but we know they are a regular feature for the other residents.

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.
