Larkland House

Nurses and senior members of the caring team are both caring and compassionate to the residents and relatives alike. All new carers should be shown the ropes by these girls. I am sure these new carers would experience greatly form their knowledge and understanding of each resident's individual needs.

Mum stayed with you while I was away. She enjoyed her stay, saying the staff were really friendly and the food was plentiful and really nice. She has asked if I go away again can she stay there.

My father seems much more settled and happier than I have seen him for a few months. He is well cared for.

This is a warm, friendly place. The residents are well cared for and they go out of their way to accommodate residents i.e., getting in a steak or bottle of wine. It is a small care home and the staff are all regulars, not agency, so they get to know the residents.

Warm and friendly atmosphere.

Mum has been a resident at Larkland House for 4 years. As a Dementia residence, she requires and receives specialised and tailored care. Throughout her residency, the team at Larkland House have consistently delivered a high level of care coupled with empathy for my mother’s condition whilst ensuring an inclusive approach towards the family through regular communication and interaction. I would highly recommend viewing Larkland House if you are faced with the difficult choice of finding a caring environment for a loved one to live with dignity and respect.

I find carers are very comforting and caring to all residents. Activities are plentiful with expert care from activity staff. The home is very clean and everyone is only too pleased to help with anything. I would recommend this home, definitely.

I find it difficult to keep finding nice things to say about Larkland House without repeating myself. The best way to say it is the proof is in the end result. In my wife's case, she will have been in the care home for 4 years in February. When I brought my wife into this care home, I thought I was going to lose her. As it is, she has put on weight and is much happier.

It is a great comfort to know that she is being looked after so well.

If she's not well, I'm always informed by the staff with follow-ups from the GP. Larkland has many activities but my mother, unfortunately, chooses not to partake. I am grateful at having discovered Larkland which came first after visiting 5 facilities last year. Other family members who visit are always commenting on the good care she is receiving.

The staff are really caring, also nothing is too much trouble for them and his appetite has come back as the food is very nice.

I find the carers and activity ladies very loving, caring and understanding. A birthday party was held for my Mum and shared it with family and residents. All the staff were exceptional with a lovely spread. Everything went very smoothly with help from all the staff. A big thank you and your efficiency is always going on.

Short staffed ( activity staff) now done to two and only one person Mondays and Fridays

Overall we are happy with the care my father receives at Larkland House. The only main problem is the lack of disabled car park bays and as an idea think some of the lawn facing the reception doors should be taken back by about 4ft so that other cars can pass when there is an ambulance or doctor taxi that often is parked outside the entrance door. On a few occasions, we have been stuck unable to get out for quite some time.

Hard working friendly staff always cheery, very helpful and welcoming. Coming to Larkland to visit is always a happy experience however I do feel it is understaffed at times as the staff seem to be doing three things at once but always selflessly. The rooms seem to be clean and orderly as are the toilets etc. The food is imaginative and tasty. This is a good place.

Staff are lovely. Entertainment is very good for the residents. Very comfortable room and always very clean and tidy.

I cannot speak highly enough of Larkland the staff are always very cheerful and helpful. I have the fact that there are activities everyday and the activity staff are so lovely, cheerful and caring with the patents, nothing too much trouble. Larkland is very clean, lovely bedrooms and what I've seen of the food it is excellent.

It's always a real pleasure to visit my aunt in Larkland House. The staff are very caring and friendly and my aunt of 96 years is very well looked after. The Activities staff go out of their way to provide all sorts of interesting entertainment from outside and my aunt loves to take part in the quizzes, arts and crafts, cooking, keep fit etc. She is now looking forward to their next trip out to lunch.

I will remember you all in my prayers.
