My experience with Bilton Court is brilliant! All of the staff have been amazing. My mum struggled to settle in for the first few weeks and the staff have gone above and beyond to make her happy. I can never thank them enough!

Care assistants offer us a drink which is very nice. Very caring staff towards my Aunt. Overall, pleased with Auntie's care, although she did say someone took a jug of water away yesterday and had not replaced it all day. I went to find a member of staff to rectify this.

My mum is well looked after at the care home and has settled in well. The staff all seem friendly and helpful and will ring me up if they have a query with anything or if mum has a fall, they will always let me know. The security is good and staff let us in and out, although sometimes when staff are
busy, especially weekends and evenings, you can wait to be let in from outside for about 10 minutes sometimes, but understand it keeps patients safe, but would be good to know pin number for exit to avoid interrupting staff. Overall very happy we chose this care home.
Reply from Zoe Smith, Manager at Bilton CourtThank you for taking the time to review Bilton Court and we are pleased you rate our overall experience as very good. Thank you for your kind comments regarding our team, which I will pass on. The safety and well-being of our residents is always our priority, where colleagues support with access to ensure residents are not put at risk and we are aware of who is in our building for health and safety reasons. At busier times, it can take us a little longer to assist visitors. We welcome feedback to continuously improve care at Bilton Court, so my door is always open to discuss any matters relating to our care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been a resident at Bilton Court for approx 4 1/2 years. During that time her care has always been of the highest standard. All of the staff are dedicated, patient and caring. Mum sadly passed away at Bilton Court as she wanted to be in her own surrounds at the end. Again, the gentleness with
which she was treated was amazing, but the staff also looked after my sisters and me during those last days. An amazing home with amazing staff. Thank you.

I am lucky to be living in this care home. It isn't luxurious but it is comfortable. I came here with my late husband and the help and care we received was excellent. Most of the staff are very capable and very helpful. Although I am diabetic and have allergies, the kitchen is most helpful. The 'activities'
carer is very good and has made quite a difference to the morale of the home. Nothing is perfect but I believe the staff and management do run the 'home' to the best of their ability.

The carers treated Dad with dignity ad respect, providing care ad attention to his needs. As Dad deteriorated, they gave empathy and support to us which was much appreciated and helpful.
They involved Dad in all the activities, even though this became difficult as he deteriorated.
There was great
communication from the managerial team keeping us updated and informed on any changes.
Dad loved his food and enjoyed all the food and drinks on offer, which were plentiful and freshly made.

Despite my strong reluctance to be placed into a care home, I have to say that after a relatively short period of a day or two, all the staff at Bilton Court were so amazingly caring and professional that I could not have felt more cared for anywhere else other than my own home. All the staff went over
and above to make my stay as comfortable as possible and I will be forever grateful to each and every member of staff at Bilton Court.

The ethos at Bilton Court is of a caring family home where everyone is valued, and kindness and empathy are core values. All of the staff live by these values and frequently 'go the extra mile' to help residents to feel comfortable, safe and important, whatever their needs. Bilton Court is a place of
laughter, friendship, companionship and dignity. My mother enjoyed living at Bilton Court, and I would highly recommend it to any family looking for a safe place for their loved ones in later years.

Due to the closure of my mother's previous care home, I needed to find new accommodation at short notice. From making initial contact with the Care Home Manager to settling my mother in, the process has been faultless. The manager and the team at Bilton Court have been friendly, helpful and accommodating.
My mind was/has been put at ease that my mother is content and has settled in seamlessly to her new surroundings. Would happily recommend Bilton Court to those who need to think about a safe and caring environment for their loved ones.

The care our brother gets is very fulfilling. He doesn't join in all the activities, but that is his own choice (no pressure). The staff are really kind and caring with residents. Also, helpful if we have any questions or need advice about our brother. The meals always look appetising and plentiful.
Well done, all staff.

The most wonderful team led by the most awesome managers. Bilton Court is the most fantastic care home I have come across. They simply go above and beyond any expectations. The whole team treats their residents and their resident's families as they are their own flesh and blood. If I were to need to
be in a care home, these are the people I would want to look after me 100%. Thank you team Bilton. We appreciate everything you do.

Mum has been in Bilton Court for just over two years and I know that she is looked after by a really caring team. I have felt reassured over the past year, that she hasn’t been lonely and there are always staff looking to do the best for her.
The management team have always put themselves out for
her and if there has ever been a problem they have done what’s needed to resolve it.
During this difficult year, they have always gone out of their way to enable us to have contact with our loved ones and as soon as they were able to let us in to visit, there was a lovely warm welcome back from the staff.
I will be eternally grateful to all the staff for giving Mum the love and care that I have been unable to give during these COVID times.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.632)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.632) out of 10 for Bilton Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.632 for Bilton Court is calculated as follows: ( (203 Excellents x 5) + (81 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 296 Ratings = 4.632
  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 Bilton Court is based on 24 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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 24 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.
