Larchwood Care Home

Nestled in a quiet rural location just outside Braintree in Essex, Larchwood Care Home is a beautifully designed facility that embodies compassion and warmth. We specialise in residential dementia care for individuals aged 65 and above, ensuring that all our residents receive personalised attention tailored to their unique needs. Whether you require ongoing care or a short-term respite stay, our team is wholeheartedly committed to providing support with the utmost respect and kindness.

At Larchwood Care Home, you'll find 64 beautifully appointed bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with en-suite facilities, a call bell, Wi-Fi, a TV point, and cosy furnishings. Some rooms even open directly onto our enchanting garden, offering delightful views! We encourage residents to personalise their space by bringing treasured belongings from home, making their transition as smooth and comforting as possible. Additionally, we are pleased to arrange for your furry friends to join you, ensuring they remain by your side.

Our care home features a variety of beautifully designed communal spaces for residents to enjoy, including cosy sitting areas, a bright and airy dining room, a convenient shop, and a sunny conservatory. For a touch of pampering, our lovely hair salon is a favourite spot among residents. Many cherish spending quality time with loved ones in our beautifully landscaped gardens, which include a sensory area and a charming summer house; some residents even actively participate in gardening! We ensure that all areas of our home are fully wheelchair accessible, creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for everyone.

Our Wellbeing Coordinators organise meetings for the Social Committee and maintain a weekly events calendar featuring clubs, discussions, and local talent performances. Residents can participate in activities such as gardening, baking, singing, quizzes, and arts and crafts. We also host community events, like coffee mornings, for residents and their families. Moreover, we provide a minibus for day trips to nearby attractions such as garden centres, cafes, and parks.

Mealtimes are a special part of our daily routine. Our exceptional culinary team prepares three nutritious meals each day, complemented by a mid-morning snack and afternoon tea, all crafted using locally sourced, fresh, seasonal ingredients whenever possible. We love celebrating special occasions, such as birthdays, and our talented chefs never fail to impress with their delicious spreads and delectable cakes.
