We visited our niece on her birthday. She was bought down to the cafe/reception area where a musical group serenaded her, which she loved. Then we were given a delicious cake to eat. It was a lovely visited and much appreciated. We always find the staff very obliging and friendly. Larchfield has a lovely atmosphere. Thank you.

Larchfield like other Nursing Homes has the problem of "one to one" communication between Patients of similar Dementia levels. It does it's very best to resolve this issue

Since being at Larchfield House my sister has improved so much, eating so much better and on the whole a lot happier and enjoying some of the activities, staff are always friendly and helpful as well as being very patient, polite and easy to talk to.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this lovely review. We're delighted to hear that your sister has settled in so well at Larchfield House. Our team always strives to create a welcoming and supportive environment, so its wonderful to know their friendliness, patience, and care have made a positive difference.
My darling wife has been in Larchfield House since 17th Oct 2015 until now over 10 years. Her needs for care are extremely high. She cannot walk, talk or communicate, feed herself or do anything. Her cognitive needs are extremely high. I have visited my wife practically every day since she's been in Larchfield House. Well at least 9 out of 10, the care she has received from the first day has been fantastic and has never varied, it is still fantastic. I feel so grateful and privileged to have got my wife into Larchfield. I couldn't fault it. There cannot be many more jobs more challenging than running a care home 24/7 and it's needs. But all the management and wonderful dedicated carers do such a fantastic job and this does not go unnoticed. Thank you so much to you all.
We're so glad to hear that you've felt happy with her care. Everyone here tries their best every day, and...
My Mum sadly passed away earlier this month after nearly five years at Cherwell ward in Larchfield. I want to express my extreme gratitude for the care and kindness shown to her throughout her stay as she declined from needing 1:1 care and eventually was unable to speak or open her eyes. I'm so pleased she was able to return to Larchfield from hospital for her final days. I would also like to thank the staff for the compassion shown to me during those last very difficult days.
Were so sorry for your loss and deeply appreciate you taking the time to share such kind words. It means a great deal to know that our care and compassion brought comfort to your mum and family, especially during her final days at Larchfield. Our thoughts are with you and your loved ones at this difficult time.
Our Dad sadly passed away this week having been a resident of Larchfield for getting on for five years. We have always been extremely grateful to the staff for their ongoing care and compassion when looking after our Dad. Even when he was unable to move or speak you could see how happy and safe he felt when members of staff interacted with him. We were able to get Dad back to the care home from hospital to see out his final days. The staff were overwhelmingly kind and considerate. They were so respectful of Dad, continuing to clean, shave and dress him, even when he was in the final stages of life. Their care and compassion shown to us as a family can never be truely expressed in words. We are just so grateful to everyone - from the reception staff, to those in the communities, and the events team. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing such a moving message during what must be a very difficult time for you and your family. We are truly sorry for your loss. It was a privilege to care for your dad over the years, and we're deeply touched to know that he felt safe and comforted in our care, even in his...
I wish to give my support and gratitude to everyone that helped to look after my dad in the years before he passed. He could not have been in better care and I and my sisters are immensely greatful for the hard work that goes into running Larchfied and caring for it's residents.

Larchfield House has become a second home to me, thanks to the incredibly friendly and helpful staff. The team leaders, in particular, have played a crucial role. The management team is approachable and attentive. I cannot overstate the incredible impact that physiotherapy has had on my life since coming to Larchfield House. When I first arrived, I was paralyzed and could only move my left fingers, struggling with communication issues. Thanks to the dedicated and friendly physiotherapist, I have made significant progress in improving my muscle strength and overall well-being. Through rehabilitation sessions, I have regained the ability to sit in a recliner chair, engage with others residents and even walk with a zimmer frame. My communication skills have also improved drastically, allowing me to connect with those around me. In conclusion, my experience at Larchfield House has been transformative, thanks to the exceptional care and support provided by the staff and management team.
Thank you for sharing your incredible journey. We're so pleased that Larchfield House feels like a second home and that our team has made a meaningful difference. Your progress through physiotherapy is truly inspiring, and we're honoured to have supported you along the way.
My sister recently moved into Larchfield House and I can honestly say the care she is receiving is outstanding. The staff are exceptional - not only highly professional and knowledgeable, but also warm, approachable and genuinely caring. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them, and it's clear they truly understand and meet her individual needs. I have complete confidence that my sister is in the very best place for her, and I am deeply grateful for the superb care and support she receives each day.
Thank you so much for your kind words. We're thrilled to hear your sister is receiving such outstanding care and that our team's warmth and professionalism are making a real difference. Your trust means everything to us.
My husband has been so well cared for by everyone, nurses, activity team, physio. He always looks clean, well dressed and happy Larchfield is always a cheerful, happy place to visit and spend time, always feel welcome and included in a safe and secure envrionment.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It's truly heartwarming to hear that your husband feels happy, well cared for, and comfortable at Larchfield. Our team works hard to create a welcoming, safe, and cheerful environment, and knowing that this has made a positive difference for both of you means...
My brother passed away in April this year. Throughout his 6+ years at Larchfield he could not have had better care from the Larchfield staff. They always went that extra mile. He was always kept spotless as was his room. Special attention was given to the food he was served, making sure it was puréed and easy to swallow. His end of life care was simply THE BEST and the way everything was handled was amazing. Thank you Larchfield for looking after him with such respect and dignity.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your heartfelt message about the care your brother received at Larchfield. I was deeply touched by your kind words and wanted to express my sincere condolences for your loss in April.It means a great deal to us to hear that you felt your brother...

My husband has been in Avon unit for 3 and half years, his care and nursing and friendliness of the staff to me has been fantastic. He is now on end of life and even though he can be very aggressive the staff still treat him with respect and kindness. Larchfield is always clean and never smells. They deserve good scores. Keep it up.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words. We are deeply moved by your feedback and incredibly grateful for the opportunity to care for your husband during these challenging times. It means the world to us to know that you appreciate the dedication and compassion of our team. We are...
My brother was admitted last autumn and has been cared for compassionately and expertly ever since by the dedicated and friendly staff at Larchfield House. The home is clearly a happy place, which you can sense the moment that you come through the front door. He is in good and safe hands, which is a great comfort for me, and the rest of his family, all of whom live overseas.
It warms our hearts to read your kind review of Larchfield House. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We are so pleased to hear that your brother has been cared for with compassion and expertise by our dedicated and friendly team since his admission last autumn.It means...
Mum has lived at Larchfield for over five years. I'm going to say it was a big change for Mum and in the first few months she made the staff at Larchfield work hard (that was an understatement). All the staff are amazing, caring, compassionate, humorous and friendly. Their care has undoubtedly resulted in the length of life Mum had in her final years. Not only have the staff in Cherwell been family to Mum, but they have also become my friends. Will miss you all.
It sounds like your mum was quite the character in her early days at Larchfield! :) It's so heartwarming to hear that the team in Cherwell were not only able to meet her needs but also became such a significant part of her life, and yours too. Your words about their amazing care, compassion,...
Was very pleased with the staff and the food was very good. Guys keep it well. Well done all.
That's fantastic to hear! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a positive review. It means a lot to our staff to know their efforts are being noticed, and we're so glad you enjoyed the food. We'll definitely keep up the good work! Thanks again!
My relative was well looked after for the four and a half years he spent at Larchfield. I feel he was extremely lucky to have received care at this home. The staff were all great. Very easy to deal with and kept me informed at all times.
Thank you for your kind words about Larchfield. We're delighted to hear your relative received exceptional care and that our team kept you well-informed.
Could not fault the care and attention Mum received throughout her three years at Larchfield House. Additionally, the team were always welcoming, smiling and positive whenever I visited, both at reception and those working on the floors themselves. During her stay, Mum had a number of health incidents and complications. The ward team consistently responded swiftly to each and every one of these demands. At all times they did so with obvious compassion and were always willing to 'go the extra mile' to ensure mum's comfort and care was assured.
Thank you for your heartfelt feedback. We're honoured to have provided compassionate care for your mum and appreciate your kind words about our team.
All staff are professional and caring and go the extra mile to ensure Dad's needs are met.
It's wonderful to hear about the excellent care your dad has received. Thank you for sharing such a heartfelt endorsement of the team's dedication and kindness!
The home is very comfortable, modern and very welcoming.
Thank you for your kind words. We're delighted to hear that your uncle received the care and respect he deserves, and that our home provided a comfortable and welcoming environment.
