Overall Experience

I am happy. I get excellent care. I can call for help whenever I want, using my emergency button.
I feel safe and valued. I really enjoy the daily activities and outings. I always have a choice about what I do.
The food is freshly cooked every day and delicious. I have made a lot of friends at Larchmere,

both residents and staff.

Overall Experience

Larchmere House has been a real blessing to both my mother and our family. The staff are all very kind and gentle and make the residents feel valued. There is a purpose to every day.
The home is warm, clean and smells fresh; residents bedding is boil washed each day and my mum always appears fresh

and beautifully dressed. Lots of outings are organised for those able and willing to go.
My mum, who is wheelchair-bound, has been on trips down the Medway, cream teas in various locations and is about to go to the theatre. Most importantly, she is happy and content.

Review from Barbara Ann C (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 November 2018

Overall Experience

My mum resided at Larchmere House for over 7 years. She was very happy there and always said how she was well looked after. She loved the outings, they organised, such as trips on the river Medway, Christmas shopping and in the summer, visits to Hastings. She got great pleasure from the entertainers

that visited the home, especially the singers. She loved the nurses and carers and all the staff and considered them her friends.
We were so touched by the love and care that was given to us after mum passed, each sharing their own memories and stories of mum.
We thank them all for making her last years happy ones.

Overall Experience

The only one I liked when looking around.
Everywhere else just smelt like mince.
The staff even on change over are so pleasant, right down to the maintenance staff.
The best.

Overall Experience

The care here is much more like that received in one's home rather than a nursing care facility.
The staff, especially the carers are superb.

Review from V F (Wife of Resident) published on 26 October 2018

Overall Experience

Larchmere is a lovely, homely home where the nurses and carers who I see looking after my husband are extremely caring, to which he really responds, despite his lack of verbal communication.
The staff are a great team who work well together.
They are cheerful and good communicators.
It's difficult

to spot problems my husband might have, but the staff always listen and discuss my concerns and this has worked well overall.
The food is excellent and the home is fresh and clean and well maintained.

This is the best home in the country. Nothing is too much trouble. The staff are all first class.
A wonderful home with loads of trips and activities. This is not a care home, it's a home that cares.

Overall Experience

My mother has been a resident at Larchmere for nearly a year now and we cannot fault the care that she has been given in this time. The focus is on the care and well-being of the residents rather than spending lots of money making the home look impressive. The staff are all excellent and led by a very

good management team, which leads to a very friendly, supportive environment for the residents. Activities take place daily and there is usually at least one trip out each month. My mother is extremely happy at Larchmere and we would have no hesitation recommending the home to anyone.
