Review from L M (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 May 2024 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

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.

Review from L O (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 May 2024 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

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.

My dad has only been in 2 weeks and we have had lots of issues with the care home including a serious safety issue. Poor standards of practice and management. The Care Home has promised improvements but time will tell.

Review from Clive B (Son of Resident) published on 21 March 2024 Submitted via Website•

Overall Experience

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.
