My mother has been a resident for three years nearly and has always been very well looked after. The care staff are very caring with the residents particularly during this very difficult past year. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them.

As I've stated before, Larkhill made the transition for my mum from being in her own home to Larkhill extremely well. They have a very personal touch and constantly update and make recommendations as things change, which, as we know with dementia, is so important and necessary.

My mother has been a resident at Larkhill Hall for 3 and a half years and she is very happy living there. She is very well looked after and cared for by the staff, all of whom are very approachable. The management and staff are also very supportive of the family. This last year has been challenging
for everyone. When visits were not allowed the staff dealt really patiently with our numerous telephone calls and they were always able to reassure us about my mother's well being. Once visits were allowed, the management actively facilitated them, whilst ensuring that the safety of my mother and other residents was never compromised. As a family, we are very grateful.

My mum had dementia and was placed in Larkhill in December 2018 from hospital after breaking her hip. She never settled but that was due to her Dementia. She always wanted to go home and was very anxious and afraid. It's a shame she never settled because all the staff at the time, bar one, where so
amazing with my mum and they loved and took care of her so well. Devastatingly Mum passed away with Covid-19 whilst in the care of Larkhill and although it had been like my second home also, I just felt that there should have been more help and understanding for myself and my boys after her passing. We are left devastated and confused. Mum should have been safe in care and yet was left vulnerable. I was sent a letter to say that at some stage there will be a memorial for all lost with covid there. I do hope that this is still the plan at some stage because we are yet to be able to have a memorial for my beautiful mum and nanna, one she so deserved. Devastated beyond any words.

My partner has serious early onset Dementia and is also doubly incontinent.
She spent a short spell in respite care at the end of September 2020, and I must admit that I was a little apprehensive as to her demeanour during her stay.
What an absolutely amazing transformation in her due to the high
level of care that she received during her stay.
Not only had the wonderful staff managed to wash her hair (1st time since Jan 2020) they also managed to get her to have at least two showers (1st since Jan 2020).
She looked so different in the nicest possible way. She was happy and chatty on the way home and even ate all her tea once we arrived home.
I can only say to anyone considering having their loved one(s) stay at Larkhill Hall care home, put your complete trust in the professional and caring staff at this outstanding care home, you will not be disappointed.
In fact, you will reap the rewards that this outstanding care home provides.
100% outstanding.

Larkhill was recommended to me by the family of a resident and it has not disappointed. My mother has lived alone to the age of 91 but now needs extra help and care. All the staff I have met have been very professional, whilst being caring and considerate. I feel that my mother is in safe hands when
having to leave!

This is a caring and very comfortable place for elderly residents. My mother has dementia and has been in respite in two previous care homes but this is undoubtedly the best of the three. The carers generally go out of their way to cheer up the residents and make them feel at home, whilst keeping them
safe and secure with various activities and a variety of comfortable areas to sit in with family and friends, as well as an individual and spacious bedroom.

Reply from Samantha Blair, Customer Care Advisor at Larkhill Hall

Thank you so much for your kind words regarding our home and staff. We are pleased to hear that your mum enjoyed her respite stay at Larkhill Hall and we hope she will consider us again for any future stays. We would be happy to welcome you and mum back for events or for a cuppa in the meantime.

Fabulous care home with outstanding facilities. Staff are excellent and really friendly. My mum stayed here for two weeks and we couldn't fault a day, she was looked after amazingly - I felt at ease leaving my mum here in their care.
The food choice was great, caters to everyone's taste and the rooms
were spotlessly clean. There is a salon on site, my mum had her hair done twice in the short amount of time she was there. My family and I haven't got one bad word to say about this care home.

1.   Review your staffing provision – particularly for weekends and bank holidays.
2.   Rooms to be deep cleaned at least once a week – armchairs and chairs to be removed and thoroughly cleaned – if not replaced.
3.   Physical activities eg Tai Chi to be in place each day.
4.   All staff to wear name badges.
5.   Wall
mounted TV sets with access to sports channels.
6.   Extra staff in the laundry.

My brother was in this home before he passed away and he loved it.
He had a smile on his face every time I visited him which to me said it all.
It always seemed clean and well staffed and they provided him with his special diet as needed.

My mum came into Larkhill January 2018, after spending a while in hospital. She found it strange at first but has settled down really well. The staff and management made her feel right at home. She has put weight on and loves her food when it is meal times. The staff and management are really hard working
and very friendly. All the staff give 100% in all they do. Keep up the amazing work you are doing. Mum loves her new home.

My mum has lived in Larkhill Hall over two years. During this time, we have visited 3 times as we live in the USA. The facility has improved since the beginning. Interaction and entertainment are much better. Providing activities is very important for dementia patients and I'm glad to see this is happening.
Otherwise being deaf, my mum would be sleeping in front of the TV. I call from the USA nearly every week to check on Mum and the staff do their best to take the phone to her or wake her in the lounge. This is important as she knows me on the phone.

I live in the USA so it was very important for us to chose a care facility that would provide excellent care for our mother who has Dementia.
She has lived here for 2.5 years. The staff and new manager are very friendly and helpful. The residents are treated with dignity and respect.
We looked at
six places before choosing this location, this is the best.
Our mum loves it here and looked after very well.
Thank you.

I moved my Mum from another care home due to serious issues with her care and I can't praise Larkhill Hall enough for the understanding and compassion we received from all the staff, the manager at Larkhill was totally understanding during a very stressful time for our family. My Mum is treated as an
individual with the utmost of kindness and all of her needs are met, staff show kindness and are dedicated to the care and wellbeing of the residents. I honestly can't speak highly enough of the wonderful way in which this care home is run my Mum's health has improved and she seems much happier now, she is offered tasty nutritious meals there is always delicious smells coming from the kitchen!! staff always seem to have time to reassure residents who are confused, I just wish all care homes were run like Larkhill Hall well done to all the staff you do an amazing job!!

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.785)

Overview of Review Score

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.

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 4.379 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.
