My father is a resident at Larchwood and I do not have enough words to say how wonderful all of the staff are, my father is a challenging person and they treat him so well, make him laugh and smile all the time, the managers keep me informed and up to date with my dad all the time, all of the staff that work there treat my father with respect, I honestly don't know where I would be without them. Thank you to you all
Really lovely staff. They provided excellent end of life care for my Dad and really went out of their way to make his final days as comfortable as possible. Every staff member we interacted with was warm, friendly and genuinely cared. Thank you Larchwood.

On the week of my wife's admittance to Larchwood, Norwich, the manager and all her staff made us so welcome. Larchwood was so clean and organised, the staff and nurses all had their own routine to work on. Nothing was too much trouble for them. My wife was happy there. I would give my highest recommendation for anyone to be placed at Larchwood House.
Thank you Joseph for your review - Our staff pride themselves in the care they provide. We are delighted that your wife has had the dignity and care in our home.

Special thanks to nurses Catherine and Chithra for the valued care given to my dear mum who sadly passed away after a brief stay at Larchwood. Support from Sandra in our hour of need was greatly appreciated. Vanessa and all the team show such great respect for residents. Staff smile, welcome visitors and pets, and genuinely appear to enjoy their work. Thank you Andy and Caitlan for the attention you gave Mum and for the manicures. I am thankful Mum spent her final few weeks at Larchwood.
My mum only had a short while at Larchwood. She had all the care we expected. Staff are excellent at all times. I would not hesitate in recommending this home to anyone.

My mum was moved to Larchwood from hospital for end of life care. The room she was put in was next to the stairs and everyone who came up let the door go and it banged shut everytime.

My mum was moved to Larchwood from hospital for end of life care. The room she was put in was next to the stairs and everyone who came up let the door go and it banged shut everytime. Not the peaceful environment you need at the end of life. We were told that an airflow mattress would be available for her. This was not put on her bed until we requested this but by then she had already been there a week. As she had oesophageal cancer, she was only eating soft foods. After a BBQ in the grounds she was offered a burger for lunch! If we were visiting at meal times, the staff would leave the food on the table for us to feed her (she'd had a stroke and was unable to feed herself) after we moved her out the staff 'lost' a lot of her clothes and personal items, which have never been returned despite several emails to the manager. I would not recommend this care home to anyone and wish we had moved her out sooner!

My experience of Larchwood is good - the staff are friendly & helpful - the good is good & everywhere clean & tidy (though my room can be a bit here & there)

My husband has only been a resident at Larchwood for a short time and so far I am very satisfied with the care he is receiving. He has complex needs which I think are being met. The carers all seem kind and cheerful, treat him with respect and he appears to like them too. The nurses have his medical well in hand and the management are very helpful if I have any worries or questions. Due to his needs I am unable to look after my husband at home now so I am glad he is receiving good care at Larchwood.
There are several new homes in the area...
Thank you to everyone at Larchwood
Larchwood is an excellent care provision as my scores reflect.

Larchwood on the first day of visiting I noted had a friendly feeling. All the staff are attentive and when asked for anything have always accommodated. My mother settled into Larchwood following spending some time in hospital, she has done amazingly well with the care she has received and all the family are so pleased with the support and kindness that has been given to mum and her family.

We were dismayed at the decor of her room, the walls were chipped, paint knocked off the walls. Toilet roll holder hanging off wall and bathroom used for storage of cleaning equipment. Broken safety rail on the bed which wasn't repaired. My sister had to ask her to be moved. The whole place needs maintenance repair, the gardens need maintaining. We wanted to get her moved when we saw the state of the place but this was not possible.

Thank you for your review. We take all feedback seriously and have reviewed your mothers care at Larchwood which we note was some 10 months ago but has only been brought to our attention now. There is a report of broken bedrails and we can see that as soon as this was identified your mum was offered to move rooms which she obliged. There were no other issues highlighted during her care at Larchwood. The home and rooms undergo a rolling maintenance and decoration program. Our rooms are decorated tastefully and where requested they are individualised as well. We are sorry this wasn't your experience at Larchwood.
The home is clean, good food, the staff are helpful, caring and always on hand if needed.

When we were told that my mum would need to go into a nursing home at the age of 90 following a fall where she broke her hip, we were offered just 2 placements in the area; one was Larchwood and the other was a 35 minute drive away for me and further for other family members. We therefore decided...
I was taken on a tour around the facility and introduced to various members of staff who have subsequently looked after my mum with unwavering care and commitment despite the fact that Mum can be a bit awkward at times. If it's top rate care you want rather than a pretty exterior, then this could well be the place for your loved one.
My thanks go out to all the staff.

They were all excellent. Mum passed away there due to previous strokes, dementia and old age. We were so grateful that Mum ended her last months there. Thank you again to the manager and all the staff.

I have always been happy with the care my father has received since being in the home in September 2021. If he has ever had a fall etc. they are always in touch to advise me of this. I am always kept informed of anything happening to/with him. The management team and all staff are caring and will always spend time with my father, engaging with him whenever they can. I really do feel he is in a very safe and secure environment with the best care I could wish for, for him.
