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.

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.

Review from Rebecca W (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 August 2022 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

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.

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.

Review from Helen D (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 July 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Alison Horridge, Customer Advisor on behalf of the team at Argyles Care Home

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 staff at the Argyles are excellent, nothing is too much trouble and the residents are their first priority. The home is very clean and airy. I do feel the building needs a refresh to lighten and brighten it up.

The admin team are also exceptionally good. This is always a difficult time and a caring attitude is necessary.

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.

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.

Review from D F (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 April 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Review from K F (Wife of Resident) published on 27 August 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Penelope Kudelnitzky, Customer Service Adviser at Argyles Care Home

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.

Thank you to everyone at The Argyles, you helped my grandad settle in and have looked after him so well.
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.

At the review last year, we asked for an en-suite toilet. We also raised concerns about 'falls' and not drinking enough, which means she gets constant water infections.

We had no update.
