Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home is excellent. The carers are second to none. The food is of a very high standard. The activities are excellent. Mum in particular enjoys the drumming and flower arrangement. We are pleased we can visit at any time of day. As visitors we are treated well having drinks and cake. Mum looks forward
to Friday's when she has fish and chips. The home is well run. The carers certainly deserve to be paid more. They treat mum with love and affection. Mum is very happy. Thank-you xxxx

If you are looking for an excellent care home on the south coast near Bognor, you should visit Byway before making a choice. Our mother has lived at Byway since 2019. When she moved here, we were told this is now her home, not just where she lives. That sounds good, but is it true? 7 years on I can
confidently say YES. Our mum is very happy, as are we. She is well cared for and completely safe. She enjoys proper home cooking, good facilities and a nice cross section of activities and entertainment. These are important, but the most important thing is the staff. They are, without exception, very caring people who provide exceptional care for mum. Sadly, as a society, we do not pay people what they are worth. I know you don't become a carer to get rich, but it is concerning that the care given to mum is not adequately rewarded. I wouldn't do their job. I would like to thank them all and hope one day they will be properly rewarded. Choose Byway, you won't regret it!
Reply from Erin Crisp, Registered Manager at Byway House Care HomeThank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and generous review. it means a great deal to hear that your mum feels at home with us and that she is happy, well cared for and enjoying both the food and the range of activities available, creating a place like home not just a place to live, is something we work very hard to achieve.
your comment about the staff will be shared with the whole team. they take great pride in providing compassionate, respectful care and your recognition of their dedication and kindness will mean a lot to them.
thank you again for your recommendation and your support, its been a privilege to look after your mum, and we look forward to continuing to support her and your family in the years ahead.

Byway House is an exceptional home from home. It's like walking in to a warm hug. The staff are friendly, kind and knowledgeable . There is alway a big welcome when I visit , always an offer of tea and cake and nothing is too much trouble to make life as normal as possible for my friend. The best bit
( easily the drummer) is that I can still enjoy activities with my friend in the comfort of her home.

Review from Nigel H (Son of Resident) published on 26 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was looked after at the Byway House Care Home for eleven years after entering the home with arthritis. A lot of the staff were consistent during this time and she considered them as fiends more than carers. She later progressed into dementia and was sometimes difficult but as a care home,
they continued to care for needs. The home is small and friendly, close to the village centre and within walking distance of the beach. Being small, the home isn't able to offer the same level of facility as larger homes but Mother preferred the family atmosphere. My sister and I never had any second thoughts about the Byway.

Through her time at Byway, all the staff gave Mum the very best care and looked after her with the utmost dignity, respect and consideration. This became especially so as she was approaching the end of her life and it was of enormous comfort to us to know she was being so beautifully looked after.
Byway
is a very well looked after home, with lovely decoration and a definite 'homely' feel. Mum was really comfortable in her lovely room, which was always kept very clean and tidy. The staff are a fantastic team and go above and beyond what their job would call for.

Mum was at Byway House for just over six years. During that time, the staff cared for her with respect and kindness. The staff were always welcoming, helpful and very supportive to both Mum and myself. The home is clean, well-maintained and always a pleasure to visit. I would recommend Byway House.

I am extremely happy. Mum has never wanted to live in a residential home, but unfortunately, earlier in the year she no longer felt safe at home and since coming to live at Byway House she is very happy and so much more relaxed than she has been for a long time. The staff at the care home are all very
friendly and welcoming. The managers are especially nice. Nothing is too much for them. If they can do something for Mum and the wider family, they will.

So relieved to have found such an outstanding care home for my dad. The staff are very friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile. Management is excellent and very proactive - engaging family with care and support. The home itself is light and airy and feels very calm and homely. Dad is very
happy with the food, and there are plenty of activities. It's such a weight off my mind to know dad is being looked after so well.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.676)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.676) out of 10 for Byway House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.901 for Byway House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.901
  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 4.775 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Byway House Care Home is based on 11 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 = 3.775
    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 18 registered maximum number of service users is 3.6, which has been reached with 11 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.
