Review from K W (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 10 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandad spent a short time in Byron Lodge until he sadly passed away earlier this year.
He'd previously been in a care home that didn't meet our standards.
From the day we moved him to Byron Lodge, our hearts warmed. He was cared for to the very highest of standards. He was kept spotless and
clean. He was motivated with the daily care and activities, well fed and always supplied with hot and cold drinks. He was encouraged by staff to eat and drink. He struggled with his mobility and the team constantly monitored and made adaptations. His room and bedding was comfortable and kept clean. Food was lovely each day.
Every single staff member went above and beyond for him and us as a family. We always felt welcome, whatever time day or night.
Nothing at all was too much trouble.
It was a pleasure for him to be there.
It was comforting for us as a family that he spent his final months at such a gorgeous place.
We thank you!
Keep up the great work Byron Lodge Team.

I have been extremely impressed by all staff at Byron Lodge. From the welcome and explanations I received on my first visit, to the fact that every member of staff makes an effort to introduce themselves and have a chat. The standards of care are very high and the staff genuinely care for the residents
and enjoy their interactions with them. There are numerous activities, which encourage the residents to engage with each other and the staff. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. The food and drinks are plentiful and the staff keep documentation up to date throughout their shift. The place is transparent and posts regularly on social media to allow families to be aware of how their relatives are doing. I am highly delighted with the care provided to my father and cannot recommend this place enough or thank the staff enough for their dedication and support given to my father and our family as a whole.

I have visited several homes in the local area. My dearest friend has been at Byron Lodge for nearly 2 years and has settled in beautifully. I can only comment on things I have seen and I have to say the care has been exceptional. When I arrive I have always found her to be clean and well-kept. The
staff on her group are friendly and eager to please. My friend has been very complimentary with regards to the food and was singing the chef's praises about Christmas Dinner, which I understand from those family members that came to the home on the day was outstanding. I think that is just marvelous. I would not hesitate in recommending this home.

My mum was in Byron Lodge for over a year. Until she passed away. All staff at Byron were very supportive off my mum, she was treated with dignity and respect. My mum's needs were met 100%. Doctors were called when needed. I was informed every time. From management seniors, carers, cleaners, cooks,

Review from June H (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was transferred from another care home in June 2022. On looking for a new care home the managers at Byron Lodge Care Home were the only ones who asked about Mum's needs/personality. Byron now has a new manager but I feel care has been and continues to be very good. Probably due to a core of permanent
staff from deputy’s/seniors through to cleaners; who have maintained standards and relationships. The new proposals at our last relatives meeting (yes, this care home does actually have them!) regarding more permanent and less agency staff is very reassuring. Staff who work alongside side known colleagues can function better as a team and you witness this on your visits.
We feel the staff are genuinely fond of Mum and though her communication is poor they always interact with her and include Mum in organised activities as best they can. On the one occasion I have had a concern it was addressed swiftly.
Byron Lodge is clean and Mum's clothes are washed/pressed lovely and she is freshly dressed daily.

Byron Lodge is quite a distance from where my dad and I live, but it is worth travelling the distance, my dad is in a good place. My first impressions when walking into Byron Lodge, is a warm and friendly feeling. The people who care for my dad are gentle and caring, always making sure he is comfortable
and looking out for his best interests.

We understand the care home has had some reported problems in the past, but have never experienced any ourselves. The care home now has a new manager, who seems to be implementing changes for the better. We had total support from her while obtaining the one-to-one support needed for my father. All the
staff are approachable and friendly. We have had no complaints about the care my father has had while being in Byron lodge.

Feel really happy that Dad is here. I live away and I know he’s well looked after. We managed to finally visit Dad at the weekend and every member of staff said hello to us and checked if Dad was ok as they walked past. I couldn’t ask for anything else. They are trying to find things to help dad settle

I chose Byron Lodge for my Mum's care home almost three years ago and have been very happy with my decision. It was extremely hard when she had to be placed in care, however, I know she has always been well looked after and all her needs met. It is a clean, warm friendly home and the staff are amazing.
Nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend Byron Lodge without a shadow of a doubt.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.835)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.835) out of 10 for Byron Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.835 for Byron Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (273 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 316 Ratings = 4.835
  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 Lodge Care Home is based on 27 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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2, which has been reached with 27 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.
