CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Argyles Care Home is one of 42 care homes in West Berkshire: a 50-bed nursing home in Newbury, run by Bupa Care Homes (CFChomes) Limited. It is registered to care for older people and younger adults. The typical home in West Berkshire has 8 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in December 2019. Before that, in January 2019, it was rated Requires improvement. The rating is more than 5 years old. In West Berkshire, 74% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
It is one of 24 homes run by Bupa Care Homes (CFChomes) Limited. 21 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Across West Berkshire, 90% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in August 2025. That is true of 92% of homes in West Berkshire.
