Mum has now been a resident for over a year. I am extremely happy with the level of care she has been given during this time. All the staff are so friendly and caring, you can see they all want to make the Care Home a good place to be. I am very impressed with the new manager who is going out of her
way to improve all aspects of life in the home. Walking in the main door is a pleasant experience, the place is always warm and smells fresh. Mum's room is bright and always clean and tidy. Overall I feel it is a happy place and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place for their relative.

Our genuine thanks to all the staff and residents of The Argyle Care Home who were so welcoming to my father during his respite visit last month. We've had mixed experiences elsewhere for respite so Dad was nervous but from the pre visit to his exit everyone was kind, respectful and interested. Thanks
also for accommodating his multiple requests for a bath - a simple experience he misses as it isn't so simple at home. We are hoping to arrange for another stay in the summer.

Our mother took a little time to settle in to the Argyle care home, however with the patience and caring help of the staff she realised that she was in a place of safety and care compared to her own house . She has more independence without worries of falls and trips . She enjoys the activities and
being pampered by the staff . She has a wonderful connection with all the staff /helpers and interacts with the other residents . Argyle care home is clean, comfortable and a sociable place to stay . Nice decoration and a clean smell, facilities are well maintained and pleasant . My mothers room is bright, very clean and decorated to a high standard . She understands that she is safe, secure and has no worries as the staff are always caring for her .

I just wanted to write as I cant express enough praise! For the staff at Argyll care home, my father has very recently moved in, and the amount of time and care and attention that my father receives is unmatched! Putting my father into care was so hard!! Especially for my mum and sister and nephew.
I was also worried but as soon as I seen my dad a wave of calm came over me, I have worked in the care industry so I understand the pressure and frustration and patience it takes to run a care home, the staff are exceptional and I can't thank them enough. You guys are doing such a wonderful job with my dad. And the amount of updates! Is amazing. The staff deserve to know they are so appreciated

My sister, who suffers from dementia moved into the care home in December 2023. For me, one the most important points is that my sister is happy, safe and healthy. The staff are just great, they are calm, kind, helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and fun. My sister loves the care home and I have witnessed
a marked difference in her health since becoming a resident. She partakes in all the activities, which she really enjoys, and the competent staff treat her with kindness and patience. Finally, the communication between the family and the care home is very good. Any queries or questions I have are dealt with quickly. I could not ask for more and both the family and my sister are very pleased and satisfied. Thank you to the staff and management for making this such a welcoming place, keep up the good work.

This review is not related to any specific matter or incident, but rather the overall improvement in general conditions, in my opinion, that have taken place over the last six months or so.
Had I been submitting a review for the year 2023 then I doubt I could have given a rating higher than two stars.
The home now has a more organised feel to it, with staff appearing interested and involved, any requests made during visiting being dealt with at the time, where possible. Indeed, some members of staff make extra effort to be of assistance if required. In my opinion, cleanliness is much improved too; gone are the 'sticky' floors and gone also are the odours that can be pervasive in care homes. The fairly recent introduction of a hairdresser and regular visits by a chiropodist are to be commended.
I would say that the strongest recommendation for the home, the management and the staff is that Mum is happy and contented here. That's not too bad, is it.

Overall, we are happy with the care our Dad has received since entering The Argyle Care Home. When he first entered, the staff were so welcoming and friendly and took great care to help him settle in. We were sad to see many kind faces leave during a change in regime and be replaced by a stream of new
staff who do not interact as much with Dad. This led to us raising concern over his care in April 2024 when he was being left in bed, soaked in urine due to incontinence. But I do want to acknowledge that this was swiftly dealt with by the Home Manager, and there has been a noticeable improvement in Dad's care since then. Some personal items have gone missing and never been found, so management of this would benefit from improvement. As would incident reporting when knocks and falls occur. But Dad is very happy and content living in Argyle Care Home, loves his room, and is well cared for by the members of staff who have become familiar to him.

I am happy that my Mum is in a secure and safe environment with friendly and approachable staff. The staff are trying to engage her in the activities within the home but Mum's not very interested in artistic handcrafts etc, perhaps other activities could be looked for. Although it is usually easy enough
to speak with staff it would be beneficial for relatives to have some regular/quarterly meetings with the manager and staff to discuss matters within the home. Overall I am pleased with Mum's care.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your valuable feedback. We appreciate your concern regarding the "serious safety issue" you brought to our attention. As we discussed, our garden is secure, and it is standard practice to encourage our residents to access the garden through the patio doors. Nevertheless, we value your feedback and have since implemented a keypad entry to further enhance the security of the garden area access.

Initially when Mum moved onto the home she was involved by the Staff in the activities but as time went on and Mum's dementia worsened her involvement became less and less. I would however like to say that the staff were always friendly and welcoming to me whenever I visited. My issues began when Mum's
health deteriorated due to her Bowel Cancer, Mum was admitted to hospital and it took three days for me to be informed of her admission, I was not contacted because suddenly one number was incorrect in my contact mobile number. When she was released from the hospital because they could do nothing more for her I didn’t get sight of the discharge letter until two days later when a nurse in the home informed me that Mum was terminally ill. The home would not provide lip balm for her dry lips, they required a prescription, nor would they give her a straw to drink with, I had to bring some in.
Her end-of-life care fell mostly to myself, ensuring that she was washed and changed daily.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.216)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.216) out of 10 for The Argyle Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.216 for The Argyle Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (93 Excellents x 5) + (81 Goods x 4) + (24 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 208 Ratings = 4.216

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Argyle Care Home is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
