My mum was recently in Byron Court it was there where she passed away. The home is a lovely place where she was always shown love and respect right up to the end. I couldn't praise the staff enough not only did they help our mum but they helped us and cared for us also.

Review from Billy G (Son of Resident) published on 27 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was discharged to Byron Court, after a long stay in hospital. Mum was welcomed by the staff as if they had known her for a long time, they spoke to her in a compassionate way and made her feel at ease. When I went to visit the following day expecting mum to still be in bed, I received a pleasant
surprise she was up washed, dressed had eaten breakfast and sat in the lounge. The care given to mum and the other residents, in my opinion, is second to none. Sadly mum has passed away, the compassion shown to us as a family was outstanding. They have a fantastic team at Byron Court and I recommend them every time someone asked me what my experience was like.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What makes Byron Court such a special place is the people who work there. Every member of staff we came across was friendly and kind and we believe that they couldn’t have done more for Mum in the five weeks she spent there. Of huge comfort to us as a family is the knowledge that Mum was treated at
all times with great respect and genuine compassion by everyone at the nursing home. We will always be grateful to Byron Court for making sure that, thanks to its staff’s excellent approach to their work, Mum had the best care possible and died peacefully and with dignity.

Review from Margaret H (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 May 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was in Byron Court for five weeks. The care and kindness shown to her from all the staff was excellent. They also supported us as a family and every member of staff we met was warm, friendly and helpful. (I cannot rate the food or activities as Mum was not well enough to eat meals or join activities
but there seemed to be plenty going on for residents.) The sensitivity and compassion shown when she died was wonderful and we felt they retained Mum's dignity to the end. The building itself is a bit tired but the dedication and care from the staff far outweighs this and we cannot thank them enough.

I have found the care at Byron Court to be very good. The staff are experienced, professional and very caring and understanding. The activities are excellent and inclusive. The meals are good and varied. Material standards are improving but the main thing is the good nature of the staff.

Not the best location or buildings but the staff are very good. Mum is very difficult, she can be aggressive and shouts and screams but all the staff are extremely patient and caring which I think is the most important thing.

My mum has been here for 2 and a half years. The home feels like a home and everyone from care staff to office cleaners are all friendly and helpful. The manager is very approachable. My mum is very happy here, she says it is the best place we could have picked for her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident at Byron Court until recently. She died there and the care, respect and dignity shown not only to my mum but to all the family was fantastic. Every member of staff from careers to cleaners, kitchen, office and management came into mum to show their respect and say good bye and
to offer their support to us. Nothing was too much trouble.
Thank you very much.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.748)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.748) out of 10 for Byron Court Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 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 4.748 for Byron Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.748
  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 Byron Court 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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, 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.
