Overall Experience

My wife has been a resident @ Argyle Park for 18 months. The care she receives is excellent. All the staff and management do an amazing job, carried out with genuine care and affection. Family and friends of residents are made very welcome - always a cuppa served with cake and biscuits. Entertained

with signing, dancing, karaoke and bingo several days a week is always something to look forward to. Sincere thanks to the manager and all the staff.

Overall Experience

I attended Argyle Park's Summer Fair and was 'blown away' by how much time and effort was put into it. It was very well attended and everyone (resident and visitor) had a very good time. A buffet was laid on and I must say it's one of the best I have had. The quality was excellent and the home should

be complemented on it. Both my wife (whose mum is the resident we were visiting) and I could not be happy with the service and care she is receiving.

Reply from Daisy Edmondson, Marketing Executive at Argyle Park

Thank you for your kind words. We're so pleased you enjoyed the summer fair and the buffer, and its wonderful to hear that you are happy with the care and service your mum is receiving.

Overall Experience

After several falls and a diagnosis of mixed dementia it was sadly time for Mum to be placed in a care home. We viewed several, large and small and felt that Argyle Park was perfect. The staff are amazing, they work so hard to create a warm, welcoming atmosphere, there are always smiles when we arrive

and you can tell from the way the residents interact with the staff that they feel safe and comfortable with them. The house manager is brilliant, Mum had a difficult time settling at first and care and advice was available whenever we needed it. Mum's mobility was very poor at times and they now have her up and about with her walking frame. The home is kept spotless, fresh smelling, there are tons of activities, quizzes, crafts, singing, and social occasions with friends and family welcome, and even miniature ponies come now and then. They have visits from an optician, podiatrist, district nurse, GP and also a hairdresser. We're so grateful Mum is happy in her new home.

Review from Alistair S (Son of Resident) published on 22 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Mum had been in Argyle Park for the past 4 years, and the first day she arrived from hospital the staff member I spoke to 2 hours after she arrived, said she was "settled" and she remained settled and very well cared for every day of her stay.
The facilities are so suitable for the residents, and

the staff are excellent, with a real and genuine care for each resident individually including a good understanding of their needs, their life story which brought them to Argyle Park, and their family dynamic.
The lounge and garden are the centre of Argyle Park and the residents and staff work together to build a real community environment. As a visitor it's a genuine pleasure to sit and watch things happening.
The time has now come for mum to move onto a different nursing home, but this was planned, led by the staff and the care home manager, with ourselves, as we knew that the condition was getting worse, and that a move was needed, thankfully to another home in the same group.

Reply from Daisy Edmondson, Marketing Executive at Argyle Park

Thank you for sharing such thoughtful feedback. We're so pleased your mum felt settled and well care for during her time at Argyle Park. It means a lot to hear that our team, facilities and Dovehaven community has made a positive difference for both your mum and your family.

Overall Experience

My husband has been in Argyle Park for almost 6 months now, and as his wife who visits every day, we cannot speak highly enough of the staff here. I have seen staff do menial and unpleasant tasks, but still with a smile! Some patients can be difficult with staff, but they do not respond except by kindness.

They show patience, tolerance, long suffering but also joy in their work. They spread happiness and joy! The manager is truly an example of the above, too, and so gives a good lead which they all follow.

Reply from Lucie Drakeford, Marketing & Communications Manager at Argyle Park

Thank you for your lovely words. We're so pleased to hear such positive feedback about your husband's time at Argyle Park. I'll be sure to pass your review on to the team, they work extremely hard to provide an excellent standard of care for the residents and they should be proud of creating the joyful environment you have described!

Overall Experience

My Mum moved into the Argyle Park early in 2023. It was a really difficult and confusing time for her. She's now happy at the Argyle Park and this is entirely down to the excellent management and care staff at the home.
It's difficult for me as I live some distance away but it's so reassuring to know

that she is being well looked after. When I do get to see her she is always very smart and looking well.
Communication with the Argyle Park is very good and I'm always kept up to date.

My mum has been a resident in Argyle Park for two and a half years now, I have no regrets about putting my mum into the home. My mum is well looked after and safe, the staff are kind, caring and understand what mum needs. Mum is always kept clean. The home is welcoming and clean and smells fresh. There

have been quite a few good changes in the home since Mum went in. They have good activities and also a great singer every week which the residents really enjoy, Mum joins in with the singing, it's lovely to see her singing with a smile on her face. The manager and the care staff are wonderful. I don't know what I would do without them. Thank you all.

Review from Debra R (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

When it became clear that my mum needed full-time care due to advancing dementia, I was filled with dread (and guilt), especially after my previous experience of trying to find good dementia care for my dad. However thanks to the manager and the team, this experience has been very different. Understandably

Mum took a little while to settle but was supported in her transition with kindness, respect, patience and empathy from the staff team. As a regular visitor, it's very apparent that these attributes underpin the excellent care provided by the staff at Argyle Park. There's no doubt that this is one of the hardest decisions you'll ever have to make but living here has undoubtedly improved the quality of my mum's life and we now have peace of mind that she is well cared for, safe and engaging in activities she enjoys. With a responsive Manager heading an excellent staff team, I would definitely recommend Argyle Park.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Head of Sales and Marketing at Argyle Park

Many thanks for writing such a glowing review for Argyle Park. We know how difficult it can be for family members to make the decision to find full-time care for their loved ones and we are so appreciative that you have shared your experience with others.

Overall Experience

Mum moved into Argyle Park two years ago. Although placing a loved one into care is the hardest decision I’ve ever made, I have no regrets about placing her there. The manager and all the team genuinely care about the needs of all of the residents, Mum is extremely well looked after and her days are

filled with activities and enrichment.
Prior to Mum moving in, I was trying to care for her while working full time and our interactions were mainly transactional. Now that her needs are so well met, I can actually spend time with Mum again properly and be her daughter again.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this very positive review. We understand how hard the dementia journey is on everyone involved and I know the manager and the team at Argyle strive to go the extra mile to ease the path. It is good to hear that you now feel you and your mum can have a positive mother/daughter relationship once again. I have passed your comments on to the manager and her team.

Would just like to add my thanks for the great love and care that has been given to my wife over the last 12 months at Argyle Park Care Home that my wife, who I must add is the love of my life suffers from Alzheimer’s and when it came to the point of having to find somewhere to give her the best care

available as we are both in our 80s I could not have found a more ideal place for her to reside as I found 12 months down the line. The staff and carers are so wonderful with her which I must add makes life for me a little easier, God bless you all at Argyle Park.

Review from Dorothy F (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My father has been a resident at Argyle Park for almost two years. From the first time I visited Argyle Park to find out more about the suitability of the home, I have been consistently satisfied with the care and attention my father receives. The care home is always clean, bright and cheerful. The

staff always make a special effort to decorate the care home during holidays and special occasions. It is always a welcoming place. I have got to know the staff during my regular visits - they are always friendly, kind and attentive and I feel happy knowing my father is in safe hands there, with a team that always tries to do their best. The food is home-cooked and of excellent quality.
When my father is distressed or anxious the team go out of their way to comfort him and senior managers always do their very best to find a solution to calm him down. From day one the senior managers have been absolutely excellent. The management is exemplary. Can highly recommend Argyle Park.

Overall Experience

Having made the hard decision that we were no longer able to care for Mum at home, we began our search for a care home. As a worker in the healthcare profession, Argyle Park had come up in a positive way during several conversations, so it was where my search began.
The manager met with me and gave

me invaluable advice. She didn’t push her care home particularly, she seemed more concerned with us knowing what to look for in a good care home. Finding the best for Mum. It wasn't ideal for the home, but they juggled everything and Mum moved in the next day.
Emotions were high, tears were flowing. It’s never going to be easy, but the support we received from the manager and her team will always be remembered. They embraced Mum and helped her settle. They sent us countless photos and videos to ease our minds. They answered every stupid question we fired at them. Even when the going got tough, they were honest, open and all ttogether caring and helpful. Thank you.

Reply from Alison Foreman, Head of Sales and Marketing at Argyle Park

Thank you very much for writing such an honest account of your experience of moving a loved one to Argyle Park.

Overall Experience

Our Mum, who suffered from dementia, passed away in July. I know she always had excellent care in Argyle Park. Everyone of the staff was caring and skilled at meeting the resident's needs. The manager and staff have also always been available to support us, this support has continued after Mum died.

When I visited Mum there were often games and quizzes taking place, she and everyone else thoroughly enjoyed the parties and celebrations. Mum liked seeing the hairdresser and having her hair done.
Mum spent a very unsettling week in hospital in June. At the last minute, the hospital planned to discharge Mum to a different home. The manager rang the hospital several times to discuss this, and extra support for Mum was put in place at Argyle Park. Without this intervention Mum would have passed away in a home she did not know with carers she had never seen before. Thankfully, Mum returned home to Argyle Park. We are so grateful for this.
We wish the Manager and staff all the very best.

Argyle Park provides great care for my mum she is well cared for. Recently a new manager has taken over the running of the home and has done a great job by introducing more activities to engage the residents.
