  • Larkhall Springs Nursing Home, Bath
Larkhall Springs Nursing Home is situated in the heart of Larkhall village and surrounded by lovely countryside. There are residential houses on one side, and a playing field on the other, providing Larkhall with a truly community backdrop.

The understated exterior of Larkhall Springs hides the fact that it is a modern, purpose-built nursing home. Yet, the generous split-level layout provides a calm and peaceful feel to the home.

The home operates as two separate wings so that care and support can be focused to meet the varying types and levels of need of the people living in the home, including enduring physical conditions or dementia.

Larkhall Springs cared for my mum exceptionally well in the last period of her life. The food and cleanliness of this place exceeded any expectations we had, but most of all, the staff were all absolutely amazing, treating your loved ones with pure dedication, dignity, respect, kindness and compassion.
Amazing nursing home!

Larkhall Springs Nursing Home has welcomed Dad with open arms. All the team make me feel very welcome when I come to visit. They have taken into consideration Dad's needs. Since Dad has been a resident, he has improved by gaining a healthy weight, and he appears a lot happier. It is so lovely to see
the rapport the team have with Dad.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I am very pleased with the high standard of care and nursing my wife receives at this nursing home. Following a fall which resulted in a broken hip, the home was advised to provide "end of life care" for her, since a replacement hip was not an option due to her frailty. The care and compassion she received
was outstanding and some 12 months later she is still with us. Both I and my family have also separately noticed how genuinely kind and pleasant the staff are to the other residents.
Credit must also be given to the management for the clean, friendly and welcoming environment in the home.

My mother has been a client at Larkhall Springs Nursing Home for a number of years; we visit fairly regularly (without booking) and my mother is always clean, her clothing and bedding very clean and dry. The staff are always helpful, caring and friendly towards my mother and us, on the occasion of Mum's
birthday she always gets a cake baked especially for her day and staff deliver it and sing happy birthday with us to celebrate her day.

My mother is happy for the first time in a long time, and I am able to relax at last knowing that she is completely safe and now well cared for. The staff are excellent on all counts, and even manage to make the resident's visitors feel looked after! Nothing is too much trouble, even though I am sure
they are as busy as all care home staff generally are these days. Couldn't recommend the home more highly!

Always sufficient staff available, very caring and willing - immediate attention given to any concerns expressed by me. Always someone (usually the nurse) available on the telephone or in person if visiting my wife.

My friend had no one else. Over the past two years his care and medical needs were adapted as needed.
Larkhall Springs became his family and home. The food looked lovely, care was respectful and compassionate and came from the heart. He wanted for nothing.
As a visitor I was treated with respect
and lots of smiles.

The care home is very clean. The staff are friendly and helpful which makes my visits to my aunt much easier. Aunty has a spacious room with an ensuite bathroom and her own things around and pictures and photos. All this is a big comfort for us since we cannot manage my aunt's needs. Thank you all.

My father lived at Larkhall Springs Nursing Home for almost two years. He died on Feb 14th 2022. He had dementia and was receiving end of life care towards the end. In the two years he lived there, he received a high quality of care. All the staff were always very respectful and treated him with dignity.
High quality "person-centred care"!

Our family are incredibly grateful to all the staff at Larkhall Springs who have been looking after our mother this year. They are always welcoming to us, keep us informed and very friendly and caring to all the residents. The home is always bright and clean and having the option of conservatory/pod
visits helps everyone feel safe during these difficult times. It is very reassuring to us to know that our mother is in such professional hands. Thank you.

I am most grateful for all the kindness and attention that my husband received in your care. The home provided a safe and reassuring environment where he could be properly looked after.
Larkhall Springs is a most pleasant, sunny and attractive place to visit and I always enjoyed the hours I spent there
quietly at my husband’s bedside. Thank you for making what could have been a difficult and unknown experience so acceptable and easy. It made the bereavement path a gentler one for me and my family.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.731)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.731) out of 10 for Larkhall Springs Nursing Home 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.731 for Larkhall Springs Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (286 Excellents x 5) + (77 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 375 Ratings = 4.731

  • 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 Larkhall Springs Nursing Home is based on 32 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 32 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.
