Having visited many care homes in the local area my father's wife and I became despondent at finding anywhere to place him long term as his dementia progressed. My dad needed nursing care as well as dementia care and despite what some other care homes say, they are not really equipped to provide such
a service or where it is, it is inadequate. So it was almost as a last resort that my dad was offered respite care at Larchfield, which has now become residential care.


It is horrible to put a loved one into residential care but when it is the only choice, I cannot think of a better place than Larchfield House. The care and attention offered to my dad has been extraordinary and on my first very apprehensive visit I watched a young carer care so gently for an elderly lady whilst she was asleep I thought, well if the staff take that amount of care for someone who is asleep, I was sure they would provide an equal amount of care when they were awake. Thank you so much!

Since my husband returned to Larchfield after some weeks in hospital there has been a significant improvement in his condition. He is well cared for, his personal hygiene is well taken care of, ie clean shaven, hair brushed, clean clothes etc. The nursing and caring staff are always kind, patient, good-humoured
and friendly and I have great admiration for them all. We recently celebrated our diamond wedding anniversary with a tea party at Larchfield and the staff could not have been more kind and helpful. My husband also enjoys his food and looks well.

The staff are so kind and always helpful. My mother seems happy and content and very settled. The home always informs us if there are any problems, or if my mum has any illness. My brother and I are more than happy with the care my mother receives. The staff do an amazing job! Thank you.

After a long stay in hospital I placed my cousin in Larchfield from a selection of homes provided by a search agency (used by the hospital) The staff were very approachable as there were initial problems due to the majority of residents having dementia, whereas my relation, despite her considerable
age, still had mental capacity. Following discussions, Larchfield reacted and endeavoured to place her amongst residents having some mental capacity. Following an assessment by social services, it was suggested she moved to an alternative home providing more opportunities for social interaction.

Since my mother has resided in this home, I can't fault any of the staff (office, nurses, cleaners) with their work effort, friendly behaviour and helpful manner.


The staff are professional and friendly. The food and cleanliness is superb and my mother's health has certainly improved.

My parents came in for the week for respite care.
In this short time, I can see a huge improvement in their general well being.
Care is benefiting them immensely.
My only concern is that the other residents are mainly in a more advanced stage of dementia making interaction limited.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I was so happy and surprised to find what a nice place this is.
After reading the latest reports of 'inadequate'. I was worried for a dear friend who is in respite there.
However, I went to see her and to my delight, I received a friendly welcome, a lovely clean environment, and very friendly faces
from all the staff I met.
The biggest surprise was how nice, carers look fresh, bright and cheery my friend looked, she'd had her hair washed which must have felt so good.
The room she was in was very bright and cheerful and most of all clean.
Staff came in to introduce themselves and to say hello, and my friends face lit up, which was lovely.
One of the carers took me aside to ask what my friends likes and dislikes were, also what she would do at home, did she listen to music/tv etc...
I am so impressed with the whole set up and 100% happy that my friend is there.
Definitely 10/10 well-done Larchfield nursing home and thank you.

My mother has been looked after by staff in the Thames suite very well. They have nursed her back to health after leaving the hospital in a very weak and poor condition but thanks to the care and attention she has received since returning home she is getting stronger by the day.

On first visiting the home, I was struck quite strongly by an air of friendliness and quiet confidence in all staff encountered. The home was bright and attractive, clean and spruce in all communal and entrance areas. In the few weeks of my mother's residency, my positive feelings concerning all aspects
of the home have been continuously re-enforced. Meeting with relatives of longer standing inhabitants I have been pleased and encouraged by their assertions as to the rapid and thorough improvements over the last three months since new management has been in place. My mother has settled far quicker and more comprehensively than I could ever have hoped for. She feels safe and cared for at all times.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.777)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.777) out of 10 for Larchfield House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.777 for Larchfield House is calculated as follows: ( (339 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 408 Ratings = 4.777

  • 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 Larchfield House is based on 35 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 98 registered maximum number of service users is 19.6, which has been reached with 35 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.
