Review from M P (Friend of Resident) published on 27 March 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I visit my friends at Argyles Care Home but I also go to the community club.
The lady runs it very well with a good choice of activities and entertainment which are all very enjoyable.
The community club is a lovely and friendly environment and I would recommend visiting to my other friends.
From what I've seen their staff are all wonderful people.
The home is a nice clean place.

Whenever I've been to Argyles everything is immaculate.

Overall Experience

The community day is held at Argyles Care Home every month run by the activity lady and others. Members of the public attend as well as residents so it's a great way to socialise and meet new people. Every month there's something different and there's a wide variety of activities available and a raffle every time. It's great fun and I would recommend it to others. The carers at this home are so lovely here too. My room is lovely and a perfect fit for me. The food and drink is also superb.

Overall Experience

The activities coordinator holds a very good afternoon at the Argyles Care Home community club and works very hard to provide different things each month. It is an enjoyable afternoon for all of us. Another activity I attend is the afternoon sing-a-long. It's lovely to get everyone singing and the activities coordinator makes a good job of it.

Overall Experience

My nan has been at Argyles Care Home since December 2016. I have nothing but positive things to say about the care that she receives. She is always dressed smartly, clean and happy. I am so impressed with all the care staff and how hard working and dedicated they are. They always show so much love and respect towards my nan and we know she is being well looked after.

My mother has been a resident at the Argyles for over four years and during all of that time has received excellent care and attention. Staff are kind and considerate and very professional in their conduct.

Overall Experience
A kind and caring place for people finding unassisted living impossible.
Lots of events and small details to ensure a happy and safe home.

I'm always welcomed as a visitor and feel free to discuss my mother's care freely.

Review from Jackie P (Resident / Service User) published on 27 June 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I spent a month in this care home for respite care after an operation. The staff were very helpful, caring and professional. The staff often have some very difficult people deal with but they coped admirably, using psychology where necessary. The food was excellent and I began to put on weight! In fact I was quite reluctant to leave. If I ever had to be in a care home permanently I would choose this one.
