The History of Larchfield House, Maidenhead

Where It All Started: Caring for the Maidenhead Community

Transforming lives through compassionate, specialist nursing and dementia care since 2006.

Larchfield House's story began on 6th March 2006, when we first opened our doors in Maidenhead and welcomed our very first residents to live with, and be cared for by, us.

Founded on a simple yet profound vision, our goal was to create a sanctuary where clinical nursing excellence and genuine human compassion naturally intersect.

Since that first day, we have steadfastly maintained our commitment to fostering a warm, inclusive environment where residents are respected, supported, and truly feel at home. Our journey over the years has been shaped by the dedication of our nursing staff, the enduring trust built with local families, and a continuous drive to raise the standard of specialist dementia care across Berkshire.
