Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I'm very pleased and satisfied with Bilton Court on all counts. I also appreciate the difficulties the staff face daily. My mother was also in the home many years ago, it was good then but it's improved immensely since then. The home is very clean and well decorated very hygienic too. I'd like to thank
everyone for the care they give to my wife and all the residents. Thank you.

I cannot commend Bilton Court too highly. They were truly outstanding in their care of my much loved late mother. This covered every person involved from staff in charge right down the kitchen and housekeeping staff. Her room was lovely, the food brilliant the lounge companionable, the attention to
her illness, but best of all was their kind and constant care to mother. Outstanding. Already posted on facebook.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The management and care delivery at Bilton Court has greatly improved since last year. My mum has been a resident at Bilton Court for over 4 years and during this time her health needs have changed. Previously we have experienced difficulties and care delivery has not always been as you would expect,
however since the new management have come to Bilton Court care has improved greatly. Mum's needs are being met, any problems listened to and acted upon. She is 'cared' for now, comfortable and happy. Thank you to all at Bilton Court.

Review from Patricia G (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My experience with Bilton Court was that I was very satisfied with the standard in the home. She was reluctant to go in at first but settled in very quickly. She enjoyed the activities and joined in. She does not get involved with very much now owing t her age 92 and her worsening condition.
She enjoyed
outside groups entertaining. The staff are outstanding and stars. More carers are needed to keep up the high standards they are overworked. New management teams are very helpful.

We as a family are so pleased we chose Bilton Court. From the word go, the care and support we have had for both parents is amazing. Even in the sad passing of mum, from the care staff, housekeeping staff, catering staff and management team.
We thank you so much.

For the short time Dad was at Bilton Court, we were extremely pleased with all aspects of his care. Very friendly staff and as visitors we were always made welcome. We were so pleased his last few months were happy and he was safe.

Whilst visiting my aunt, one morning we joined the residents in their activity of looking at old photographs of Wellingborough. This was really enjoyed by all, including me and my husband. Lovely morning.

Service and facilities have improved during the past 6 months. Mum would benefit from more time spent with her by staff, not just when she needs a specific visit e.g food etc

My brother and I are very pleased with the care mum is getting at Bilton Court. The staff are very kind, patient and cheerful and do so much to make the residents feel comfortable and at home. Nothing is too much trouble, there is a nice easy going atmosphere and visitors are made to feel very welcome.
The
management report any concerns promptly and deal with matters in a professional way.
It is a great comfort to know that mum is happy there and has the support and care she needs.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Friendly, amiable staff who always try their utmost to be helpful and kind. The bedrooms and communal areas are always clean and tidy. Meals are not always suited to my father's taste but there always alternatives offered. Plenty of activities are always available if the residents are willing to participate.
The management team have always been accommodating to my father's needs and that of our family. Overall, very pleased with the care and support given.

My mother has been at Bilton Court for about two years now. She is very happy there, as in her word "Everyone is so kind and helpful". She likes it very much as she is looked after very well. She enjoys all her meals and likes all the member of staff who look after her.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.606)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.606) 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 26 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 4.606 for Bilton Court is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (83 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 307 Ratings = 4.606
  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 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 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.

Zoe Smith

Job Title: Manager Joined: 2024

My Name is Zoe Smith and I am the Home Manager of Bilton Court care home. I began my journey at Bilton Court as Home Manager in February 2024.


I have worked within the care industry since I was 18 years of age, and throughout this time I have gained a wealth of knowledge and worked with and cared for some amazing people. Whilst working in care, I have gained NVQ’s and other diplomas. I have worked in a few different care homes, which has provided me with a depth of experience.


My favourite part of the job is working with my team; knowing that we are making a difference. I work hard to ensure that we are providing a high standard of care and that Bilton Court is a happy place for our staff and our residents. I like to support my team with their own development in their respective roles. I’m never too busy to help lead and guide them.


I enjoy meeting people from different walks of life and hearing all of their amazing stories they have to tell.
