Review from Diane S (Wife of Resident) published on 4 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband entered Argentum Lodge in November 2017 and has never asked to be taken home. That to me proves how good the care is in the home. All members of staff speak to him and acknowledge him as a person. He has sadly become aggressive and difficult when receiving his personal care and needs three
carers to deal with him sometimes. I feel so sad at his behaviour but the carers explain it's where he is with his long term illness and are so caring. The office staff are helpful and the activities continue to delight myself and family. The purpose-built building is perfect for a home - all rooms the same, the garden is ideal to walk my husband around as he can no longer walk very far. As his wife, I am informed of any problems and if I am away and cannot do my daily visit I can phone and be advised how he is. Such a comfort.

Review from K A (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have found Argentum Lodge very satisfactory so far. It's very clean, smells fresh and the staff are always kind and helpful with nothing being too much trouble.
The food is of a good standard and I am generally pleased with the care my dad is receiving there.

Review from P B (Husband of Resident) published on 23 October 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife of 60 years, showed memory problems in 2000, developed Epilepsy in 2001 and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2004. Whilst her condition gradually deteriorated, with the help of family and friends and use of daycare and respite breaks, I was able to keep her at home until 2013. She, unfortunately,
as the result of a fit, broke her hip and I had to let her go into full-time care. At the time, Argentum Lodge opened, my wife became their first resident in June 2013. She has been well looked after over the last 6 years by a good group of carers and nurses who now look after 50 residents. Sadly, my wife has declined to the point that she is now immobile, unable to communicate and can do nothing for herself. I spend several hours in with my wife most days and find Argentum to be clean and of a good atmosphere with helpful staff. On the basis of my last six years of experience, I would recommend that any potential residents consider Argentum.

Review from V P (Partner of Resident) published on 23 October 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my partner of 35 years had to go to live in Argentum Lodge, I have appreciated the calm, settled and friendly atmosphere. The staff all treat the residents and relatives with kindness and respect. The manager provides a very high level of good quality care. Staff are carefully appointed and there
seems to be good ongoing training. Everybody does their best to make life the best it can be in what are always sad circumstances.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.706)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.706) out of 10 for Argentum Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.706 for Argentum Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (309 Excellents x 5) + (50 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 377 Ratings = 4.706
  2. 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 Argentum Lodge Care Home is based on 31 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 56 registered maximum number of service users is 11.2, which has been reached with 31 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
