Review from Jen B (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad spent the last 6 months of his life at Lark View and I couldn't have asked for a better home. The love, care and compassion shown to him were outstanding. The beautiful gardens and surroundings really helped, being able to walk along the lanes and sit outside watching the birds. The carers, staff
and managers have been fantastic. I have felt supported, welcomed and informed throughout. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your kind words - they truly mean a lot to all of us. Your dad was such an amazing man, and it was a privilege to have known and cared for him. He touched so many lives here with his warmth and character, and he will always be remembered with great affection.We are also deeply grateful for the beautiful bench donation. It is such a meaningful gesture and will provide a special place for reflection and comfort for residents, families, and staff alike.With heartfelt thanks,

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I think my mother was very lucky to get a room at Lark View, she is very happy and the carers and management make sure the residents have plenty of activities throughout the day. I was lucky enough to be there at meal time, I was impressed with the freshly, created meals every day (looked delicious).
I have made several visits over the last months and it is always clean, residents are always dressed very smart and clean. Top job!

What a wonderful find! My mother wanted me to find her "somewhere nice" Lark View surpasses this 100% on every level. The most caring staff, a happy family-run home, my mother couldn't be happier. The food is brilliant, good home cooked meals by marvellous cooks. The most accommodating & caring manager.
We are so pleased that Mum is being so well cared for & that she is so happy too.

We had to find a Care Home for our elderly mother, who has dementia very quickly. Luckily we found Lark View and the manager was brilliant. With her years of experience and efficiency, she made the transition of our mother moving out of her home into Lark View a positive experience. Our mother has
settled in happily within a week and the manager was always available to help my sisters and I cope with everything and advise us.
The staff are wonderful - caring, kind and efficient. Nothing is too much trouble for them.
Lark View has great facilities, lovely bedrooms, lounges, an activity room and a large, bright dining room. The garden and orchard is beautiful with lovely outdoor seating.
There are always lots of activities for our mother to join in or a member of staff to have a chat to.
Finally in my mother's words "I like it here - I think I'll stay"!

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.848)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.848) out of 10 for Lark View Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.917 for Lark View Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (44 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.917
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 3.931 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lark View Residential Care Home is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.2 = 0.556
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
