At the age of 96 my mum suffered a steep decline in health following several falls. It was a distressing time moving her to Kent and wanting the very best for her in terms of care. I need not have worried – Larchmere House made the process a breeze and exceeded my expectations of what was possible....
She was welcomed and loved by all the staff: nurses, carers, administration, laundry, maintenance, catering and cleaning. The ethos of Larchmere House is to connect with all the residents and their families.
When my mum had a stroke we were informed the end was near. The family held a bedside vigil over several days. We were not made to feel in the way and the extended time allowed us to meet the night staff who had also contributed so positively to my mum’s welfare.
When the end came we were well prepared by the staff with such integrity and respect - we could not have asked for a more peaceful and dignified parting.
I have no hesitation in unreservedly recommending Larchmere House.

I would like to express my thanks and those of my family, to all the nurses and staff who looked after my brother whilst he was a resident in Larchmere House. It is clearly a home that genuinely prides itself on the overall quality of care given to all its residents and this was evident during each visit. We all find it very comforting to know that he was receiving such loving care and attention and we are most grateful to all those who put that little bit extra into making my brother's life that little bit better than it might otherwise have been.

I found Larchmere House Care Home offered a high standard of care to my grandmother. The care home offered a lot of activities/events, which although my grandmother didn't partake in, I thought were excellent for residents and families. The care home went out of their way to ensure she ate well despite her never wanting to eat the menu on offer that day. The care was very individualised. Towards end of life, the carers and nurses were extremely attentive to the needs of my grandmother and supported our family well. I would recommend this to others who require nursing care.
Pleasant country village surroundings with a homely (non-establishment) feeling. We found the staff truly cared, showing interest in my husband and relating to him and his past background and reminiscences. It enabled a bond that took him out of his dementia to brighten his day.

Pleasant country village surroundings with a homely (non-establishment) feeling. We found the staff truly cared, showing interest in my husband and relating to him and his past background and reminiscences. It enabled a bond that took him out of his dementia to brighten his day. A sunny day in the garden made a lovely atmosphere and whilst he couldn't partake in the outings, they made a special effort for outings, tea parties and quizzes. All then that we needed - caring and dignity
In the 3 years my very elderly mother was a resident she was always very well cared for and compassionately treated.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Larchmere as an excellent nursing home - while my aunt could communicate effectively, she always sang the praises of the staff, saying that she was extremely pleased with the services provided.
They really are lovely people.

In her time at Larchmere, the provision of care in every way - medical care, quality and variety of meals, activities and family access (the list goes on) could not have been better.
After her passing, I wrote to the staff and the owners expressing my gratitude for everything that they had done to keep mother safe, comfortable and happy at all times. I visited Larchmere at least 3 times each week and always observed a very busy and cheerful staff working in a 'home-like' atmosphere. The nursing staff were excellent, seeking further medical advice when needed and always happy to discuss mother's welfare.
In mother's last days, every effort was made to ease her passing and the staff cared for the family in equal measure at that time.
I would recommend Larchmere House to anyone seeking a placement for a relative.

The food is freshly cooked every day and delicious. I have made a lot of friends at Larchmere, both residents and staff.
The care home is very clean, friendly staff, helpful staff and excellent food. Good activities available although my cousin does not use them. Feel very happy, she is in good care.

The home is warm, clean and smells fresh; residents bedding is boil washed each day and my mum always appears fresh and beautifully dressed. Lots of outings are organised for those able and willing to go.
My mum, who is wheelchair-bound, has been on trips down the Medway, cream teas in various locations and is about to go to the theatre. Most importantly, she is happy and content.
My mum resided at Larchmere House for over 7 years. She was very happy there and always said how she was well looked after. She loved the outings, they organised, such as trips on the river Medway, Christmas shopping and in the summer, visits to Hastings. She got great pleasure from the...
We were so touched by the love and care that was given to us after mum passed, each sharing their own memories and stories of mum.
We thank them all for making her last years happy ones.
Everywhere else just smelt like mince.
The staff even on change over are so pleasant, right down to the maintenance staff.

It's difficult to spot problems my husband might have, but the staff always listen and discuss my concerns and this has worked well overall.
The food is excellent and the home is fresh and clean and well maintained.

One staff member recently said - "We're like one big family" - which is very true.

My mother has been a resident at Larchmere for nearly a year now and we cannot fault the care that she has been given in this time. The focus is on the care and well-being of the residents rather than spending lots of money making the home look impressive. The staff are all excellent and led by a very good management team, which leads to a very friendly, supportive environment for the residents. Activities take place daily and there is usually at least one trip out each month. My mother is extremely happy at Larchmere and we would have no hesitation recommending the home to anyone.
