Review from R S (Son of Resident) published on 11 June 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience
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.

Review from Lorraine T (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 September 2024 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
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.

Overall Experience
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.
