Fab care home with lovely staff. They have such patience and can’t do enough for mum and us. Mum was in a lovely upstairs room and after their recommendations, we moved her downstairs. We would recommend this home and all its staff to anyone.

An absolute pleasure to review Argyle Park, Mum has been a resident for about 6 months now and since the first afternoon, one word has been constant - “settled” - the care provided and the whole way of doing things in Argyle Park is so good. As a relative, it is so reassuring that your relative is being
well cared for all the time, and given my mum suffers with dementia many events/activities are planned to keep the residents well engaged and active.

Always felt that the staff genuinely care about my mum, which brings huge peace of mind to all of us. Mum seems really settled here, is encouraged to join in with activities, and is a busy, friendly place with all the staff happy and attentive. It’s a huge decision to agree to long-term care for your
parent but we feel that both mum and ourselves have found a gem in this home. Mum has recently had various medical complications and has unfortunately spent some time in hospital. I was immediately informed of the situation and was contacted regularly to enquire as to how she was doing. All the staff are very helpful and caring towards the residents, the home is very clean, bright, and happy. Afternoon tea with homemade cakes is probably my mum's favourite time of the day!

Mum seems happy and settled and all her needs are attended to daily. Staff are all very friendly and welcoming. Mum's room always looks neat and tidy as does mum. We as a family are very pleased with the care mum has received especially after her having a fall and breaking her hip, after 4 weeks in
hospital she was welcomed back to the Argyle.

Many thanks for your review and ratings which we are sure will be very helpful for those searching for care for their loved ones. It's great to know that you are happy with the care your mother receives. Kind regards.

My grandad has been a resident at Argyle Park for 4 weeks now. The difference between Argyle Park and his previous home is unbelievable. I wish he'd moved there years ago. First impressions are how clean, bright, and welcoming it is. Staff are outstanding! Every single one of them. Nothing is too much
trouble and they all seem to have a special bond with the residents. My grandad is settling in nicely. He's very impressed with the food and likes that he now has his own bathroom. He's always clean and well cared for and is encouraged to join in with activities. Although moving him was a worry. As a family, we are happy and reassured that his needs are now being met and just so glad we found such a fantastic care home.

Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful review. I have passed on your comments to the team at the home. The Home Manager and the team work very hard to achieve the high standards that exist in the home. I am pleased that your grandad has settled in so well.

During lockdown, the home has made great efforts to keep us in touch with Mum, who has been understandably upset that we have not been able to visit her during this time. They arrange regular online meetings for us with mum and fortnightly online meetings to update us on what is going on in the home.
I have probably had more contact with Mum during this time than usual as we live far away. Their friendliness and care and patience for Mum and us has been very much appreciated.

This nursing home is amazing. The quality of the staff and home is second to none. The exceptional care and empathy shown by every member of staff towards all residents is the greatest thing to witnesses. When I visit my family I am spoken to with respect and feels like being part of a big family. These
places do not get enough praise from people. Argyle Park is 5 star.

My mum has been a resident at Argyle Park for two and a half year and is happy there. She has a nice room and is well looked after. The staff are lovely and very kind. There is a nice friendly atmosphere about the home, and the lounge is bright and airy. Visiting is not allowed at the moment due to
Government advice, but I am given regular updates about Mum and am able to speak to her by computer video calls and phone.

Thank you for your kind words, we know it's difficult not being able to visit your mother at the moment. Hopefully, we will be able to see you soon. Thank you for your patience.

Despite the ongoing problems with retention of staff at Argyle Park and the high dependency of its residents I have only ever witnessed very kind and caring staff who appear to work very hard in a very demanding environment.
I have found management very approachable and supportive. I have marked value
for money, as poor, as I do think the charges are extortionate. Activities could be improved but I believe this is being addressed. Overall a very good home.

Thank you for your comments we appreciate your feedback. Once visiting is permitted within the home, we would be delighted to discuss any issues you have.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.787)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.787) out of 10 for Argyle Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.787 for Argyle Park is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.787

  • 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 Argyle Park is based on 13 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 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 13 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.
