Our Mum is a new resident at Larkland, they have made Mum so welcome especially with all of her issues, my Family have been as well looked after and explained everything to us.
They have catered for all of her needs.
When ever we visit Mum all of the staff are very friendly and engaging,
This has
given our family relief and peace of mind.

The staff are amazing, They really look after the patients in their care
The building is kept very clean, Plus the food is tasty and plentiful and if the patient does not like the what is on the menu.
Then the kitchen make up something which the patient has requested.
Every body aims to please the
patient what ever there need.

Thank you for the amazing care you have provided for our mum. Although it's been a very sad and emotional time for us as a family, you have been amazing from the day she was admitted to the home, to the very sad end. Not only did you take great care of Mum, but you also looked after all of us as a family
which is gratefully appreciated. Thank you.

When I went to view Larkland House, I was told by a staff member that they were understaffed.
The medication was never on time, I had to chase multiple times a day. The alarm cord was disconnected, after it was connected while I was there. The room never seemed to get cleaned. Staff never regularly
checked on my relative. If emergency button was pressed, it could take over 5 minutes for a response. My relative passed and I was told I could take my time with them, I was later called into the hall and told I needed to arrange the funeral directors to come and collect my relative. When they were taking my relative away, I was being stared at by another visitor from their room. Disrespectful!
The caregivers are very friendly, but unable to carry out their duties effectively as they are all understaffed.
I would not recommend this facility.

I moved my mother to Larkland in July 2023 and it was the best thing for her after very poor care in her previous home.
I found the staff to be nothing short of superb with a very friendly happy go happy-go-lucky attitude and I have seen nothing but respect and love for all the residents including
my mother.
Sadly, my mother just passed away, but I would recommend this home to anybody.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother has been supported to go from bed-bound and socially isolated to joining her neighbours in the communal Lounge/Dining room for lunch and activities, which she has appeared to enjoy.
Carers are kind, attentive and knowledgeable. They have developed an understanding of my mother's preferences,
discomforts and behaviours during the short time she has been with them.
I have seen my mother become much more alert and recover her interest in her immediate surroundings. I have been delighted to witness a return of some of her cognitive skills that I thought had been irretrievably lost due to her condition. She is also gaining a little of the weight she had lost in recent times. I believe that the quality of care, attention and humanity that my mother is receiving from the care staff at Larkland House is making this progress from a dramatic decline possible.

In almost all respects, Larkland House is excellent. The care team is superb! I have rated the rooms as good (rather than excellent) because the exterior windows are in a poor condition with several broken window catches. The food is good and the facilities likewise. Overall, strongly recommended.

Reply from Samantha Debenham, Reviews Team at Larkland House

Thanks very much for your 5-star review of Larkland House. We are overjoyed to hear your positive feedback about our care team, the facilities and our food. With regards to your concerns about the windows and handles, we have a glazing supplier organised to rectify the issues.

My father was cared for at Larkland House following a diagnosis of terminal cancer. I was so grateful to all the staff we met who really cared for him, made him comfortable and took time to get to know him. I was impressed by the level of expertise and care, with very thorough systems in place to ensure
24-hour care and a good range of facilities (including nice food and a lifestyle coordinator). It is a very comfortable home and I would think about staying there myself when the time comes!

I must say the level of care my mother receives is second to none, the team always bend over backwards to see my mother's needs are met. The home is spotless the whole housekeeping team work so hard to make sure everything is in order. The activity team have a relationship with all the residents they
create a family community. What I’ve seen of the food is excellent, and the catering brigade is led by an excellent head chef.

If you're looking for a top-quality care home, then look no further. This home offers a nice bedroom, with a wet room, to the most delicious food throughout the day. Many occasions we would have a meal or a snack when visiting our aunty.
There are so many more staff that do an outstanding job. Every
visit, my aunt would be involved in some sort of activity or event, always with a smile on her face.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.686)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.686) out of 10 for Larkland House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.686 for Larkland House is calculated as follows: ( (280 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 353 Ratings = 4.686

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Larkland House is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: Home Manager

I believe that being a Home Manager is about creating a warm environment, not only for residents but also for those who work in the home or visit.


I joined Care UK because I appreciate their culture and ethos of supporting residents to live fulfilling lives.


Ensuring compliance is at the forefront of my work at Larkland House is an important part of my role, but I also like to be involved in the day-to-day lives of the residents and team. Seeing their smiling faces gives me a big sense of achievement.


If the team are happy, this reflects on the residents. I’m proud to work with incredible people who want to make a difference in people’s lives. It’s fantastic when this hard work is recognised. In a previous role, I won awards for Manager of the Year and Dementia Team of the Year.


Outside of work, I love to travel with my husband. Travelling is very important to us. Family is equally important, and any spare time is spent with my granddaughter.
