We cannot thank the Argyle staff enough for the care and kindness given to Mum. It has been a great comfort to the family knowing she is so well looked after. She has a lovely room and has made some good friends. Mum particularly enjoys the programme of live music performances in the lounge. The facilities
are always clean and staff retention seems very good which means there are always familiar faces on hand who have come to know Mum well. We would highly recommend this home.

Our Mum has been at the Argyle for around 7.5 years. We are very happy with the care Mum gets, the staff are very warm, helpful and friendly and she has known some of them a long time. The care home is very clean, tidy and decorated nicely. Mum's room is lovely and she has a view of the park. The location
couldn't be nicer.
Mum's privacy is respected, and she has the opportunity to chat with other residents, particularly at meal times. I understand there are activities and entertainment, for those that wish to join in.
We are so glad that we chose the Argyle for Mum. Thankyou for everything you do for her.

My mum has been in The Argyle for a couple of years and myself and three siblings could not be happier. The home is spotless and always smells clean. The staff are wonderful and so caring. Another bonus is the lack of staff turnover so my mum knows all her carers well. The food is delicious and there
is often entertainment in the lounge. Nothing is too much trouble for the Argyle staff and I can't recommend it highly enough.

Whenever I visit Argyle the staff are always friendly and helpful. I know that care home staff - anywhere - are kept busy with their work, but at the Argyle, it doesn't stop them from being positive when I see them.
I also notice how patient they are with my relative.
The manager too is a positive
person, and I find her easy to communicate with.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.112)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.112) out of 10 for Argyle is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.719 for Argyle is calculated as follows: ( (41 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 57 Ratings = 4.719

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.393 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Argyle is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 5.6 = 0.893

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
