About Larkfield

Larkfield is a nursing home in Horley, Surrey. We provide nursing care for older people and younger adults, including adults with a learning disability, autistic adults and people with a physical disability. Respite stays are available alongside permanent places. Combining nursing with learning disability support is a particular skill. It means following somebody's health closely enough to spot a problem early, which matters a great deal because health needs are so often missed for people with a learning disability, while remembering that the person is not a set of conditions and is entitled to an ordinary life with things in it worth getting up for. We work at both at once. Because many of the people we support do not use speech, or use it only in certain situations, we spend real time learning how each individual communicates. Pain, discomfort and unhappiness are frequently expressed through behaviour rather than words. Routines here are steady and changes are explained in advance. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Families and social workers considering a placement are welcome to visit and ask us anything.
