He had a smile on his face every time I visited him which to me said it all.
Agnes R (Sister of Resident)
The food choice was great, caters to everyone's taste and the rooms were spotlessly clean.

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We have a dedicated wellbeing coordinator in the home who creates and shares the planned activities - you can see this on the noticeboard in the reception area of the home. Additionally, one to one sessions are available for residents who do not want to participate in communal activities. Our cleaners work hard to maintain good standards of cleanliness throughout the home and senior carers can check medication. Staff on the cross over shift will share information with colleagues coming onto shift to ensure they have all that they need to provide our residents with the best care.

Thank you for sharing your experience of Larkhill Hall. We appreciate the transition to a new home can be such a difficult time for all involved. It is great to hear mum settled in to life at Larkhill Hall and you as a family had peace of mind that mum was happy and well during her stay with us. It is wonderful to hear Mum has been reminiscing about her time with us and that she has those precious memories close to her heart. I will be sure to pass on your kind words to the team.

We have looked back into this matter from when Mum stayed with us over a year ago and were surprised to find that there were no complaints or issues raised at the time of Mum’s stay. Our records from that time clearly evidence that Mum’s care and personal care was carried out to our usual high standards. However, your feedback is extremely important to us and we would like to discuss this further with you. Please contact our Home Manager, at your convenience.

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.785) out of 10 for Larkhill Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.379 for Larkhill Hall is calculated as follows: ( (57 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 103 Ratings = 4.379
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 4.406 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Larkhill Hall is based on 8 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 = 3.8
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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.606
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.
