Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been in this care home for quite a few weeks. She is sadly leaving this week to go to a residential home in the town my mother and father live, we are going to miss this home so much and wish we could keep Mum there as the staff are so lovely, caring and very welcoming but it’s better
for all the family to get mum in her own town. We would like to take this opportunity and I’m speaking for my father as well, to thank you all so much for taking such good care of my mum. We are going to miss you all and I know mum will as well, bless her! Such a big thank you from all my family.

After a ten day stay in hospital, I went to a hub-bed for rehabilitation. At first, I found it difficult but soon settled in with the help of staff and permanent residents. I enjoyed the quizzes and the singing hut also appreciated being able to go back to my own room if I wanted to be quiet or chat
to some of my visitors.

My husband spent the last two months of his life here and was well looked after by both carers and nursing staff, who were friendly and kind. There was a family atmosphere and I was always warmly welcomed by all staff when visiting. I am glad my husband was able to spend his final days here rather than
in hospital.

Review from Karen D (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 7 February 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We found Banbury Heights to be a warm, homely, friendly and kind environment. All the staff were lovely and my mother-in-law was very well cared for.
Nothing was too much trouble and we felt all staff listened to our concerns and requests very well.
I believe the staff way outshone the actual building
which is very tired and dated, but then my mother-in-law wasn't looking at the decor!! Our experience, our first for all of us, was as good and positive as it possibly could be thanks to all.

Right from arrival and during my stay, all staff showed a very open and very caring attitude. Much different to my previous experience.
You were made to feel you were part of a large family and no request was too much trouble. This goes for management down to cleaners.
I was impressed by the efforts
to bring entertainment in just before Christmas.
I rate the staff as highly motivated and professional.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A very dear friend of mine moved from hospital in Banbury, to Banbury Heights on 17th November 2018. The respect, care and dignity they afforded my friend was exceptional. From the management, secretary, food providers, helpers and the nursing staff - they were warm and friendly, understanding and very
willing and helpful.
Thank you all very much.

I found Banbury Heights a very nice place. I was very looked after and for the way that they did look after me, was beyond my hopes. I will be sorry to leave the hospital, everyone was so helpful and courteous.

We found all of the staff to be excellent. They were caring, helpful and informative.
The resident has now passed away and they could not have been more supportive.

After the initial shock of a parent having to go into a nursing home, we found on arrival we were greeted by management and put at ease straight away. All carers were professional and a few went beyond their duties to make mum feel comfortable. She was always treated with dignity. Thank you.

My impression is that the home is a little cramped for space. I hope I am wrong but feel that there is scope for more activities for the residents. The home always appears clean, well staffed and well kept. The staff are friendly and welcoming and that is the main thing!

I love being here. I will miss this care home. I have been here for 4 weeks. If I had a choice I would come back here.
I am moving to a house. I will miss the residents, carers and the lady is a very good cook. I will give Banbury Heights 100 out of 100.

My father was moved to Banbury Heights care home on 6th August 2018. Sadly he passed away on 12th September 2018. This is an excellent care home. The staff were caring and made his last weeks comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful to me in his last couple of days. This is an excellent setting
for a home from home placement. Just wish I had moved him there years ago. He would have loved the home and the staff. My father had advanced dementia.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
After a shaky couple of hours on admission, due to a mix up in hospital, the nursing staff were extremely reassuring and demonstrated real comfort towards myself and my mum.
She has had exemplary care since her arrival and after three weeks is still really happy with the way she has been cared for.
The
dignity and kindness shown is obvious from my daily visits. Although she is looking forward to returning home, I think she will be sad to leave!

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.197)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.197) out of 10 for Banbury Heights Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.265 for Banbury Heights Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (101 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (15 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 155 Ratings = 4.265
  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 4.932 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Banbury Heights Nursing 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 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.8 = 0.932
  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.
