Larksfield Health Center

My mother just spent 3 weeks in the rehab/skilled nursing section of Larksfield place. She received excellent care by the nursing staff and administrators. This was a stressful time for both my mother and myself but was relieved somewhat by the staff. The aides that helped with daily care were especially wonderful giving mom special attention and even spending their breaks in her room. Alex the director and Tracy the discharge coordinator helped us find an amazing assisted living home. I can’t say enough good things about all staff.

I’ve experienced this facility twice now with two family members. My grandfather had dementia and suffered from incontinence. While visiting him, he expressed to me that he wanted to go to Bingo and Mass (which started at 3 pm) I expressed this to his nurse who told me that someone would come get him and take him to these activities. 3 o clock rolls around and no one has come to get him. 3:10, 3:20….. so I go to the nurses station and ask when he will be taken to bingo. His nurse was charting at her computer and said “we’re just really busy and he usually forgets anyways.” Needless to say, my blood was boiling. So I took him to bingo and mass. When he lived with my grandma and at Sedgwick Plaza (amazing facility and amazing staff) prior to rehab, he never once got a UTI. Larksfield did not

My mom received wonderful rehab care at Larksfield! She was very discouraged after her hospital stay but the therapists soon had her up and happily doing her physical therapy. I was impressed with the staff planning meeting. I was very happy with the plans made for her.

Based on a prior experience from 2014, I was excited for my loved one to go to Larksfield for needed rehab. I have since regretted that decision. I can boil most of the problems down to lack of communication. My loved one was deemed incompetent while in the hospital prior to transfer, but the facility did not communicate with me as required by the DPOA and tried to tell me my loved one needed to sign so I could have access to her records. Even after talking with the CEO, I still was not given needed information to help me plan for next steps for my loved one.  All I received was a lot of bluster, back-pedaling, and side-stepping of anything related to a direct answer. I typed list of 12 questions I presented at a family/staff meeting to see if I could get a solid response, but once again i

My mother-in-law was at Larksfield for three weeks of rehab after being discharged from the hospital. Her therapists were all extremely professional and kept us informed of what was happening and what progress was being made. The building was always immaculate and her room was spotlessly cleaned. I highly recommend Larksfield Rehabilitation Center.
