Larchmere House Care Home

My Mother has been a resident at Larchmere House Nursing Home for nearly five years and she is very happy there regarding it as home and her new family. The staff are all kind and supportive acting in a caring and professional manner. The facilities are good and the home is kept clean and tidy. The food is exceptional, home cooked and healthy, lots of choice. The daily activities are brilliant, stimulating and fun. As are the regular trips out, shows etc. We have been able to share any concerns with Management who have acted fast to resolve them.

A welcoming and cheerful home with lovely staff, good food and quality care. Lots of interaction, activities and attention for the residents. Clean and fresh. Very happy to have my Mum living here.

When visiting my friend @ Larchmere. I was amazed at the care and attitude towards the residents carried out by all staff, I was lucky enough to visit on the day of the annuale summer fair.

The staff of the home are amazing, always happy and helpful, they join in with all the activities for the residents with gusto!! Mum is 98 and has her ups and downs and they are always patient and understanding with her and her family as well. This also applies to kitchen, maintenance, cleaners and nursing staff. They always keep the family up to date on Mum's health and moods. The home is spotless and the rooms are cosy and comfortable. There is a daily list of activities for the residents and outings for those who are mobile enough. I can't recommend this home enough, and it is set in the beautiful peaceful village of Frittenden in the Wealden countryside

This is an amazing Nursing Home. Our Dad has settled in very quickly and is happy there. All the staff go above and beyond in their care and consideration of the residents. The food is excellent and cooked fresh on site every day. The level of cleanliness is really good and the rooms are spotless. Everyone is so friendly when we are visiting and offer us food and cups of tea too! The Nursing staff are there 24 hours a day and are very approachable if we have any queries about Dad's medication or how he has slept etc. If we are unable to visit one day we telephone and are put through immediately to Dad's named carer or one of the Nurses to have a chat. We would not want Dad anywhere else and would 100% recommend this Home.

Larchmere has been fantastic for my mum. She is loved and taken care of by the staff. All the staff are approachable and very friendly. There are activities every day and relatives are made very welcome. We wouldn't want mum anywhere else.

Dad is very happy there, it's very clean and tidy, the staff are very friendly and always jolly and they take time to talk to and care for the residents. There are lots of activities organised and also regular entertainers. Myself and the other members of our family are very impressed and happy that dad is in this home.

I give this care home 100/100, it's the best care home I have visited. Staff are so caring and helpful and the place is so clean and everyone is so happy. The staff really are outstanding you could not wish for a better home to be cared for. All the staff are so happy and jolly and the residents are well looked after and happy too.

Larchmere nursing home exceeds expectations. My mother felt at home, looked after by extremely professional and friendly staff. They engage with the patients, treating them as extended family. The range of activities is exceptional- from singing to bowling to boat trips, and even meals at the pub opposite. The home gave me peace of mind- that she was in the best of hands.

It is a difficult and sometimes unenviable job to provide good care, Larchmere does this in both a dedicated and sympathetic, caring way and I would have no hesitation to recommend them to anyone who finds themselves seeking a caring home for an infirm or ageing relative.

My father in law has been staying at Larchmere House Care Home for several months, so we have got to know the place and the brilliant staff that work there. I must say I have never experienced such a warm welcome every time we visit, all of the staff are so committed and go out of the way to care for, and entertain all of its residents. Most days they organise wonderful activities and often lunch trips out to the local pub with the resident's relatives. If you are looking for a friendly, clean, wonderful atmosphere and amazing staff to look after you or a family member, I recommend you go and visit and take a look for yourself.

Larchmere House Care Home is a lovely rural home, small enough to have a family-feel. Staffed by a dedicated team of people working together to meet the needs of all the residents. Their activity team provide a monthly schedule of varied daily activities, in house entertainers and outings for residents and family to participate in as they desire, all of which enables those there to live their best possible lives.

My father-in-law has been at Larchmere for the last three months. He is in the final stages of his life and has complex needs. I cannot express how amazing the staff and facilities are at this home. The staff are friendly and respectful to all residents. They treat every service user with dignity and care. My father-in-law is always clean, shaved and looked after, his wishes are always listened to. I can't recommend this home enough.

Mum has now been a resident for eight months. She was made very welcome and settled quickly. She feels safe and secure and enjoys the communal environment. The staff are excellent and very attentive. The quantity and quality of the food are superb. Mum has made friends with other residents and enjoys the company of others and group activities. All her needs both medical and personal are all taken care of. We are very happy with the service and would have no hesitation recommending this care home to others.

I am a private carer and have 3 ex-clients whom I visit regularly in Larchmere House. I recommended Larchmere to all families. I have always found the home providing the best care with the care and needs of the residents and the health and safety paramount as it should be. The staff are professional and caring. There is a high level of activities both inside the home and out with regular outings and opportunities to engage interests. The meals are nutritious and there is an excellent choice each day. There are excellent facilities in the garden when the weather is good which residents make use of and there is good social interaction and chat. There has been strict Covid control during the pandemic to ensure the safety of residents, staff and visitors. When I visit all the residents seem very happy and relaxed. The Manager is very approachable and has always been supportive and concerned for each resident and their family. All staff are polite and ready to help.

Excellent staff and so caring and kind to mum. I was really worried when mum first went into full-time care as I had looked after her at home for over sixteen years since dad died. But the staff supported me through the transition to allowing them to take over mum's care and for me to once again become her daughter.

Excellent nursing home and the caring and compassionate staff give quality of life to those who have very little left. A sense of humour is always present and relatives are made to feel part of a family. Knowledge and expertise are very hands-on qualified staff from matron down adds to the assurance a relative needs

Larchmere house provides a lovely environment for residents. Having previously had a bad experience with a care home and seen media coverage of care homes Larchmere house really is a cut above the rest. All the staff from nursing to the kitchen and everyone in between do everything to ensure the resident's stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

Outstanding and exceptionally good care has been provided to my mum over the last couple of years. A small residential home where all the staff know all the residents. A very consistent staff team really seem to know all the residents well and are always very friendly and professional. Staff communicate really well – I am always kept well informed of any issues or needs relating to my mum. Great range of on-site activities and regular wheelchair friendly visits off site. My mum has visited Leeds castle, a lion sanctuary and had trips to the coast for example. Excellent food with residents being offered choices at each meal time. The attractive garden is well used by residents and visitors in the summer. Robust safety measures have been in place throughout the covid pandemic. I have been really impressed with Larchmere and the care and support that has been provided to my mum.

I have no hesitation in unreservedly recommending Larchmere House.
