My father moved into the home to convalesce following a hip replacement. This was an urgent request as my father was not receiving good care in another care home. The care home staff were so responsive, helpful and caring and within 24 hours my father was welcomed into the home. Whilst the surroundings were a little more basic , it was very clean and comfortable. The staff were absolutely amazing, professional , and considerate. Dad never had to wait more than a couple of minutes for his bell to be answered. Care was taken to ensure Dad had all the equipment he needed including a pressure relieving mattress. Staff were fully on board with Dads rehabilitation programme and were proactive with encouraging him to do his physio and go for assisted walks. The food was lovely and the care staff listened to any requests and made sure Dad had access to ice for his drinks. Family were made so welcome and we were always offered refreshments. Highly recommend this care home.
My wife came to Argentum, initially for a respite break, after a long and gradual decline with Alzheimer's disease. She had regular medical attention from the nurses, and from a GP who visited every week (this never happened when she was at home with me!) and could not have been in better hands. As the end approached, despite everyone's best efforts, they were unable to coax her into eating or drinking, and she passed away peacefully. All the staff were lovely caring people.
The staff were always very friendly to me and my family and I cannot recommend Argentum Lodge highly enough.
Since my mother first went into the carehome in July 2024 my mother seems to be upset and not over happy being in there, each time we visit it changes but maybe that is down to her Dementia, upto her addmitance to hospital in the middle of Febuary 2026 after as we have been told woken up in the middle of the night and slipped ? fell and broken her hip joint, in my opinion this could of been prevented now i ask a few questions, why was the alarm mat underneath the bed for several months and not being used ? why do they never make sure her lanyard alarm never on, proven by picks, why no walking sticks in view, why very little use of walking frame, why she was not supervised to take her inhallers properly, in my opinion if the care home did the job that over £6,000 a month pays for my mother would NOT be in palative care. To be honest shop around for a care home ALWAYS REMEMBER PREVENTATIVE MEASURES ARE BETTER THAN CURE.
Apart from entertainment in lounge, Christmas singers, I haven't been offered any other activities.
Because of the position of the light switches I can't operate them from my bed.
Apart from this it's a very good experience staying here for respite.
Very pleasant and caring staff.
The staff are caring, friendly and helpful, particularly the nursing staff, J and A who deserve special acknowledgement and thanks.
Meds are effectively administered and the premises always appear clean and warm.
One thing that Mum does occasionally comment on is the small size of some of the meals.
Thanks to the whole team for looking after Mum, it is much appreciated.
Spacious rooms and good facilities
Staff are helpful and attentive
Thank you
Based in Nailsea so a short walk from the centre of town where plenty of amenities
The staff are always smiling and I always feel welcomed when visiting.
Thank you so much for all you are doing for her. We certainly feel she is in safe hands.
Jess and her team have been looking after mum for only 2 days and I can tell that she feels at home already. Rob had been helping to prepare her room even before she arrived - putting up pictures and a mirror and moving furniture. Alvin welcomed her as soon as she was in her room and took careful notes about her preferred daily routine. He was at pains to tell her that she was the boss and should let the team at Argentum know how she would like to be helped. Today Joy had helped mum to get ready for the day and commented to me how good mum's skin was. Everyone I have met here has been thoughtful and attentive and caring. Thank you Argentum for looking after mum so well.
Hi Trevor- what a beautiful review of your experience at Argentum already! I will share this feedback with the team- I love the comment about being the 'boss' :)- Jessica
My mum has been in this care home since July 2024, and she loves it there, The staff that care for the residents are brilliant, Nothing is to much trouble, I know my mum is well looked after 24/7, and I have piece of mind knowing she is safe and well.

Argentum is friendly and welcoming. Mum is being cared for well. She has improved since moving to the home in June. She is happy and content. She appears to enjoy the entertainment and has made friends. It is reassuring to know she is being cared for.
Hi DB, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Mum really does enjoy the varied activities! We appreciate your feedback and I will share the kind words with our staff team today!- Jessica Hawker
We feel that the home has a wonderful atmosphere. All the staff are really caring, friendly and helpful. My Mum says the food is delicious. Also, my Mum has very much enjoyed many of the activities over the last few months. We feel that her health and wellbeing have been very well supported. Thank you!
Hello Sarah, Thank you ever so much for your review, Its lovely to hear your kind words about the staff and atmosphere! I will share this lovely review with the staff team today-Jessica Hawker
They go above and beyond to keep us updated and to bring the best quality of life to their residents.
Thank you very much Jane for a lovely review! its a pleasure to care for dad, I will share your feedback with the team today-Jessica
The care my mother in law received was 2nd to none. I work in the care sector myself and the way the staff treated everyone including families was exceptional and welcoming. It's a shame mother in law arrived at end of life as she had enjoyed the care she received if she got there sooner. All staff should be proud of themselves for the fantastic work they do from care, janitorial and through to management. A big well done from me a fellow care worker and district Councillor
Thank you ever so much for your lovely review! it was a pleasure to care for your relative! I will share the lovely feedback with our team today-Jessica
Thoroughly recommend Argentum Lodge, all the staff were so kind and caring towards my mum and to us. The home has a lovely, welcoming and homely atmosphere. The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Mum last days here were very happy and I shall treasure those memories.
I am very happy with the nurses and office staff, all are so kind and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Even arranged a birthday cake, which is more helpful than you would expect. The staff at Argentum is A1. Everyone seems so happy here, even the families visiting.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, it was great to be able to celebrate your anniversary and your husbands birthday here at Argentum! I will share your lovely review with all of our staff team.
My husband was originally there for respite care after being in hospital but my daughter and I have been so impressed with all aspects of Argentum Lodge that he is now a permanent resident. All the staff are approachable and make the effort to interact with the residents and there is plenty of varied activities and entertainment for the residents. It gives me peace of mind knowing my husband is in good hands.
Thank you for a wonderful review of Our Home, Its a pleasure to care for your husband! I will share the lovely words with our team today.
