It is not only the care they give to the residents, it's also the care and understanding they give to the family, we have had some very 'hard' visits and they have shown us nothing but kindness.

Dad came to stay for a few weeks to give Mum a break. Everything went smoothly from the initial meeting to Dad coming back home. Later in the year, Mum has already booked Dad back in as she feels so confident with the whole process.

Review from Roy B (Husband of Resident) published on 24 July 2023
Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My wife has Parkinsons and Parkinsons dementure and can be a difficult person to deal with and consequently has 24hr 1 to 1 care. Her life in Larkland has greatly improved since she has had the same 1 to 1 carers for the majority of the week. They have learnt how to manage her moods and deal with her
agitation which is no mean feat! All the staff are friendly and understanding.
It is very important that Parkinsons patients are given their medication on time and for whatever reason there are times when this does not happen. I also believe that it is wrong that the Parkinsons Nurse only reviews the effectiveness of the medication every 6 months. Any changes to my wife's medication have only occurred after I contacted the Parkinsons Nurse and made recommendations.
My wife has only a few teeth left and finds that she is unable to eat a significant number of the meals and the food gets sent back uneaten. She cant chew chicken.
Social events are good and well organised.

We’d like to reassure you that our nursing protocols and procedures are of paramount importance to us and we continuously monitor and review these to ensure they are effective and we take relative feedback into consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact the home manager if you would like to discuss this further in person.

My wife's care is ok but some staff need more training. She needs more going to more music and animal. I have to check to make sure she has her own clothes on. Things are corrected when speaking to the manager I should not have to do this if the staff had done their job.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My Mum was lucky enough to be offered a place at Larkland House in December 2022. We were obviously anxious with her moving into a nursing home. The manager gave us a personal tour of the care home answering all our questions as we went round. This was so reassuring that Larkland was the right place
for Mum.
Mum has dementia and her moods can be temperamental but the carers deal with this in a professional and caring way.
All the staff are friendly not just to the residents but to their family and friends. The atmosphere is always a place of happiness.
Rooms are a good size with great walk in showers.
Food - the choice is amazing. We have been lucky to have lunch with Mum on Christmas Day and Easter Sunday and if we had gone to a 5 star restaurant the food would not of been any better.
Entertainment is always made to be fun and to keep the residents stimulated.
Staff/carers - always so kind and caring.
Overall I give Larkland House 10/10 or 5 stars.
Thank you for looking after my Mum.

Our cousin has been looked after at Larkland House for the past year. It was recommended to us by a close friend whose father also stayed there for a while. The whole team are kind, friendly and treat him with great patience and respect and do their best to make sure he is as happy as he can be.
We have not given a rating for Activities because our cousin prefers not to participate but we know they are a regular feature for the other residents.

My mother was a resident in Larkland House for nearly four years. The care she received was second to none and I am very grateful for the dedication of the team to my mother's well-being and care. I did not have to worry about her at all, particularly through the pandemic, as the team did all they could
to keep up family contact even when visiting was not allowed for many months.


My mother passed away recently but I am secure in the knowledge that she was loved and cared for to the end and I thank everyone at Larkland for looking after her so well.

My mother in law moved into Larklands care home, after a really terrible experience in a previous care home. My mother in law was unable to walk and was being unlawfully restrained with bed sides. In Larklands she is now walking again independently and no need for bed sides. She has a lovely room, the
staff are always very friendly. Frequent activities which always shows great involvement from the residents and the food always looks amazing. The manager has is very knowledgeable, caring and dedicated and this shines through into her staff team. We couldn’t be happier, the physical and mental change is also very apparent. She is no longer confused and enjoying the company of others after living alone for such a long time. As a family we are so very greatly for the care and support she is receiving at Larklands care home

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.
