About Larchwood Care Home
Larchwood Care Home supports older people through residential, dementia and respite care in Braintree. Its approach centres on understanding each resident’s character, background, routines and preferences, with support available day and night as needs change.
Residents can follow their own interests and daily choices, with a varied activities programme and a private minibus available as part of home life. An on-site hair salon, café and sensory garden add practical options for social time and relaxation. En-suite bedrooms provide further choice. Families comparing permanent care, dementia support or a shorter respite stay can consider how these facilities match individual preferences.

How much does Larchwood Care Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Larchwood Care Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Essex council paid on average £1,085 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
