Overall experience good except for a few problems which now have been resolved. I have always been treated with dignity and find all the staff very helpful and understanding. Management excellent and always ready to help with anything. Excellent food and drink varied menu, maintenance person very helpful. We find that all the staff work as a team but too many to mention them all and would recommend Argyle Care Home to loved ones and friends.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease in our care. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Thank you, Argyles. I would highly recommend you to anyone I knew who needed to move loved ones to Argyles.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your kind review. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your dad in our care after the transition into the home, and we hope Argyles Care Home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible. Please let us know if there is...
My father spent his last few weeks in the palliative care room at the Argyles Care Home. The staff were very helpful and caring to my father and also his friends and family who came to visit. The family who made this room possible called the staff the Argyle angels and I second that wholeheartedly. This review doesn't come close to the warmth I feel for the Argyle rest home.
Thank you for your kind review. It's always lovely to hear words such as "helpful" and "warmth" used to describe the services and care our staff provide, especially when it comes to a difficult time like with palliative care. We are glad to hear your family, friends and Father were treated with...
I have always found the staff really friendly, helpful and understanding. The care my mum is getting his first class and I couldn't ask for more.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, it is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. We hope to continue providing your Mum with the best possible care.
My husband and I attended the opening of 'Jeans Room' on Friday the 14th of July. We were both very impressed with the Argyles, such a very friendly, warm environment for family and patients alike. We would not hesitate to recommend.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are pleased to hear Argyles did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to make your loved one's stay as comfortable as it can be.
I can find no faults, all the staff work really well and really hard and they all seem to enjoy their work. The food is really good and so are the activities. The rooms are always clean and tidy.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease in our care. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Mum has been at the Argyles for just over a week and the care she has received has been exceptional. To see Mum so happy and settled has been so reassuring for my sister and me. She is smiling and again takes pride in her appearance. We felt so guilty about making the decision to move Mum to the home, but it has been such a blessing. We no longer have to worry about her every move. We hear about the delicious meals daily, she especially enjoys her shandy and today she has been to church. We cannot thank you enough.

Entered mum on the 5th of May to join Argyles Care Home as she needed 24-hour care. I was so scared and unsure but within days the family and I knew we had made the right decision. She seems to be settling in ok and so well cared for. Thank you.
Thank you for your review. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your mum in our care and that she seems to be settling in ok. If there is anything more we can do to make her stay as comfortable as possible, please don't hesitate to let us know.
I called Argyles Nursing Home on the 1st of June and thought what a lovely home it was. It was spotlessly clean and the staff was so welcoming. I told them when my time comes I'll be there! My friend told me the food was good and her washing was perfect and so quick. So very well done to you all.
Thank you for your kind words, and it's nice to hear that your friend is making you aware of everything the care home offers. We hope to continue providing your friend with the best possible care and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
We visit our dad regularly and are always made to feel welcome, The staff seem to recognise us now and it feels nice to visit our dad. He is always well turned out and appears happy. We have been invited to a few social occasions which all the family try to attend. If Dad is at all unwell, we are notified straight away. We would recommend this home to any friends and family.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your dad in our care and it is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. We hope to continue providing your dad with the best possible care and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
My mum has been living at the Argyles Care Home for just over a year now since moving from a previous care home. Since she has been here she has made new friends and gained new interests and gets involved in any social aspect. The staff are extremely good with her and most importantly she is happy. The Argyles Care Home put on a social event for the king's coronation which we attended as a family and the entertainment they put in was fantastic. This is a brilliant care home.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. We are so pleased to hear she has made new friends and gets involved in any social opportunities offered within the home. Thank you for choosing Argyles Care Home.
A warm, friendly and very caring home which is well-run and managed.
Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after, as well as hearing words like “warm” and “friendly” being used to describe our care. We will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.
The maintenance support person at Argyles Care Home has been outstanding in making every effort to help us make a room perfect in memory of my late wife. Nothing is too much bother and the manager and all staff continue to give me and my family the warmest welcome and support. We feel a very close bond with this wonderful care home.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your lovely review. We are glad to help you and your family through such a difficult time and we hope you will go away from this feeling like your wife received the best possible care.
Settled my brother well and meets his needs. Help him to mobilise between physio visits. Staff are always cheerful and go overboard to meet his needs. The home is friendly and welcoming, and try to make it as homely as possible.
Thank you for your review. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. Please do let us know if there is anything more we can do to make your Brother's stay as comfortable as possible.
Very caring nurses.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We are happy to hear your loved one is being kept comfortable, and the staff are very caring. We hope Argyles continue providing the best possible care.
When visiting a friend, I found the staff very caring and polite. The care they give their patients is excellent, and nothing is too much bother.
Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear words like “Caring” and “Polite” being used to describe our care. We look forward to seein you again.
I am an RN of 38 years from Canada. My aunt has been in your care for over 5 years. I found my loved one to be clean, beautifully groomed, well fed and hydrated. It was obvious she was being turned and cleaned with excellent skin care. Her skin is perfectly intact with no sores. When the staff were performing these duties they were kind, gentle and professional. Thank you so very much.
Thank you for your considerate review. It is always nice to hear family members are at ease with their loved ones being cared for so thoroughly in our home. We will certainly pass your comments on to the manager.
My wife has been a resident in Argyles for nearly six years with advanced dementia. She is unable to communicate and relies on the support of the staff for all her needs. But I know she is contented and being looked after really well. I know all the staff really care for her. The home is welcoming, friendly and clean and the staff do a fantastic job. I cannot praise them enough.
Thank you for your feedback. It is always nice to hear from family members like yourself who feel at ease knowing their loved ones are cared for by our staff so well. We hope to continue providing your Wife with the best care possible.
Fantastic care with compassion for both Mum and family members in Mum's last few weeks. Thank you.
We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us your feedback. We hope that knowing how well your Mum was cared for is of some comfort to you now. Thank you again for your review.
My mum came to the Argyles for palliative/end-of-life care. The staff have all been wonderful, extremely caring and compassionate to Mum, but to my whole family. All the staff are angels and go above and beyond with their work, and they all deserve a pay rise.
Thank you for your kind words. We hope the support helped make this difficult time a little easier for you all.
