A fantastic level of service for the short time father-in-law was in the home. The food was very good and varied. Staff very attentive to his needs. Would recommend this care home.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your kind review. We are very happy to hear you felt at ease with your father-in-law in our care. Hopefully, you will go away from this feeling like your loved one received the best possible care. Thank you for choosing Argyles Care Home for your stay.
Mum settled in well and is now happy at Argyles. She says the nursing care is excellent and all the staff are efficient and friendly. We have certainly seen this when visiting her, Mum has lived here since July 2021.
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 and hearing words like "efficient" and "friendly" being used to describe our care. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your Mum's stay as comfortable as possible and we are looking forward to seeing you again.
Always caring and attentive. All the staff are happy to spend time with my husband and to answer any queries or requests we might have. He has settled well and I can relax knowing that he is in good hands.
Thank you for your lovely words. It is really nice to hear how well your husband has settled at Argyles and that you feel at ease with him in our care. If there is anything more we can do to help make your husband's stay as comfortable as possible, please do let us know.
Should anyone need a safe space for their loved ones in the future, I would highly recommend the Argyles Care Home - this home is run by angels, and in the 10 years my father has been there they have been considerate and caring in equal measures. Everyone we have met has normalised the horrific situation we found ourselves in as an extended family. Dignified care following a diagnosis for a rare and debilitating disease, they have taken the strain. They are amazing people. Genuinely grateful.
Thank you for your lovely review. It is always nice to hear words like "safe space" and "run by angels" being used to describe our care. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your Father's stay as comfortable as possible and we look forward to seeing you again soon.
My mum has been at Argyles for a little while now. Mum is more relaxed the longer she has been here and enjoys the activities. My mum has got a lovely room and she enjoys the food, they have a good selection and choice. My mum has definitely put on weight which is good.
Thank you for your kind words. We are happy to hear how settled your Mum is at Argyles care home and that she is feeling more relaxed and enjoys the activities provided. We hope to continue providing your Mum with the best possible care.
Mum took several weeks to settle into Argyles, as she is a very anxious lady and a whole new world had been entered into for her and the family. The staff are lovely, however, now after around six to seven weeks, we can see a vast improvement in her. She is smiling again and although reluctantly, now joins in with the activities, but ends up loving it. Her safety and care needs are met.
Thank you for your feedback. We are so happy that Your Mum is now settling in well and starting to join in. Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help with this.
The admin team are also exceptionally good. This is always a difficult time and a caring attitude is necessary.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. It is lovely to hear that you find our staff excellent and that nothing is too much trouble. Thank you for choosing Argyles for your loved ones' stay.
The staff, nurses etc are fantastic and have always welcomed Mum warmly and as part of the family.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. It is lovely to hear that you feel your mum has always been welcomed into our home like family. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your Mum's stay as comfortable as possible.
I am very pleased with my care in the home but at times care is given to other residents for minor things. I was left in my wheelchair for 3/4 hours while next door had 7 visits. Otherwise good care.
Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear you are pleased with the care you receive.
My review as I see it, there are several which I do not like, ie door slamming and shouting. Other than that, it is quite a happy place, quite happy to recommend this establishment.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments, I will certainly pass this on to our management team. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.
I am very happy with the care Mum gets. The staff are very friendly and have a lovely relationship with her and all the other residents.
Thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you are happy with the care your Mum receives.
Extremely friendly staff and friendly atmosphere. I feel the care is appropriate. My Mum has enjoyed the food and is being well looked after. It has given the family reassurance about her safety after a fall. Very safe hands. Efficient drug care.
Thank you for your feedback. We are happy to hear that your Mum has enjoyed the food our chefs prepare and that you are reassured knowing she is well looked after.
It was lovely to visit my Dad this week and to be able to sit and chat with him in the lounge overlooking the lovely spring garden, which has not been possible for a long time due to Covid rules. The staff are all so lovely and you can tell they genuinely care about their residents. It gives me peace of mind to know that Dad is happy and is being well looked after. It is always lovely to see pictures of the residents enjoying the many activities provided which are regularly posted on the website. They are a lovely reminder that Dad and others are being cared for and enjoying themselves. If I ever need an update on Dad I know all I have to do is pick up the phone or email and I get a quick response. My dad has always had a wicked sense of humour, which they have tuned into and know just what to say to bring a lovely smile to his face. Hopefully going forward we can all enjoy spending time in the garden with our loved ones when the long-awaited summer arrives.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. It is lovely to hear that you were able to sit and chat with your dad in the garden. It is wonderful to hear that you have peace of mind that your dad is cared for and happy in our home. We hope to continue providing your dad with the best possible care.
Have found the staff to be helpful and friendly to family members. The staff are accommodating, and any concerns we have are noted and quickly resolved. The staff take on board any interest and try to talk about it to him. They also assist him when making food choices when he is undecided. He always enjoys his food. Overall, I have found the Argyles excellent.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad to hear that your husband enjoys his food once he has decided with the help of the staff! Thank you again for your kind words.
My mother has been a resident for six weeks. It was short notice admission, managers and staff were helpful and efficient; they continue to be so. They are good communicators with family and sort out all the problems.
We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your comments. We hope to continue providing your Mother with the best possible care.
The care Mum receives at Argyles Care Home in Newbury is exemplary. The staff are all very caring and professional and always willing to go the extra mile to keep Mum feeling happy and safe. Mum enjoys their company, the home-cooked meals, and cake, she even received a birthday cake the kitchen staff made a month ago. Staff keep us up to date with any medical changes Mum experiences which is very reassuring for the family. We are extremely happy with Mum's care here and would not hesitate to recommend the home to anyone.
Thank you for your review and lovely to hear the staff are making your Mum feel welcome, safe, and happy. It's great to hear she has had a birthday with us and hope the staff made a real fuss of her and the day went as well as could be under these strange circumstances we find ourselves in at the moment. If we can anything more just please us know.
Good service provided. Staff helpful and responsive.
Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are very happy to hear you are satisfied with the quality of our care.
He's more active, engaged and loves to help out especially, in the garden on a sunny day and that's down to the friendly care that you provide non-stop.
Thank you.
You are welcome and thank you for such lovely words, we are always happy to hear that your residents are content and settled at the home.
My mother is very happy at Argyles. She is content and well cared for. The staff know her so well and know when to encourage her to join in and when to give her space and time in her room.
It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. Thank you for your kind words.
