My mother was in Bilton Hall for just under 6 months at the beginning of 2021.
The care she received from everyone at Bilton Hall was exceptional; which is the most important thing.
The care team were exactly that - caring; as well as being kind and courteous to family and friends. We got to speak
with the nursing team whenever we wanted and they were the same names and faces every time - which was great for Mum as she got to know all the people there.
Due to Covid, visits were difficult but always well organised and ensured that all protocols were observed.
In the last few days, the home was very sensitive to compassionate needs. The accommodation and grounds at Bilton Hall are great.

My mum entered Bilton Hall with a full hip replacement, postoperative delirium and 3 1/2 years with advanced Alzheimer's. She stayed there for 5 months until her death in May. She was much calmer and happier in a caring environment than she had been at home. The staff were fantastic - kind, available,
helpful, and always got back to you. We were kept up to date on my mother's condition and I couldn't praise them too highly, I would recommend them to anyone.

It was my first visit inside to see my brother since his admission on transfer from hospital last July 2020. We had an outside meeting in August in the garden. We are/was welcomed kindly. The visit went happily and was given privacy (not a problem), carers and administrators were attentive to requirements
and friendly. Also on the telephone or skype meetings. The room was clean and my brother is comfortable. He has lost his mobility.

Due to the specific procedures required during the Covid pandemic, extra work in more ways than one had affected staff in all departments. It has been very much appreciated that the continued caring approach and attention given to my husband in all aspects has never faulted and this has meant a lot
and is a credit to the staff. Being able to see each other on Skype has also been very much appreciated by us both.

My mother's stay at Bilton Hall was unfortunately not a long one but from the day she arrived, she was looked after with great care, sensitivity and dignity.
She was made very comfortable and the staff quickly built up a good relationship, taking into account her dementia and unfamiliarity with her
new surroundings. As a family, we could not have wished for more.

I have been poorly in Hospital which started on the 16th of August. I have gone from intensive care to surgical wards, then to another Hospital and then here. I can't thank them enough and I decided I want to live here, this is what I needed. I can't look after myself, I can't walk. But Bilton Hall
has cared for me with kindness and support from everyone here. Care has been excellent, everyone is so good.

Bilton Hall has a lovely welcoming atmosphere, is always spotlessly clean and decorated to a high standard. In the two years, Mum was a resident, Mum was encouraged to participate in the many daily activities, both indoors and in the award-winning dementia-friendly garden. We spent many happy hours
with Mum in the garden. Wonderful meals and wonderful staff for whom nothing was too much trouble.

My mother has been a resident at Bilton Hall for just under three years prior to her recent death as a result of her Alzheimers Disease. Throughout her stay, she has been cared for with dignity by empathetic and friendly staff. Both the nurses the carers and the catering and entertainment staff have
been very supportive. It is clean and comfortable and as a family, we have had full confidence in their ability to look after mum.

My father had been a resident at Bilton Hall Nursing Home for a few weeks. I asked him on one of my visits how he was feeling. He sat back, looked thoughtful and said "I have never felt so relaxed". We both shed tears of happiness/contentment/relief. He looks well cared for and the staff all treat him
with respect. He enjoys their banter.

Mum was apprehensive about going for respite care but after just a few days, settled in and was happy. The staff were very kind and she soon felt like one of the family. When it came time for her to move back home, she was sad to leave them all. She would happily go back in on a permanent basis.

Visited with my parents and we were made to feel totally welcome - staff were so professional, warm and helpful. The home is beautiful - gracious rooms beautifully presented, lots of staff to help wherever we went. My aunt is clearly SO happy here. It’s very clear that this home is run by a highly professional
team who believe in respect, dignity, warmth and homeliness. Just brilliant and sparklingly clean too. Apparently, the food is delicious, especially fish and chips on a Friday! We look forward to visiting again soon.

I have the highest respect for all the staff who are consistently kind and efficient. In particular, the standard of nursing care is excellent. My husband

Bilton Hall is very clean, tidy and looks more like a hotel.
The staff and management are very friendly, caring and helpful.
Since my partner has been there since having a cardiac arrest which resulted in brain damage, he is very well settled and looked after very well.
The food is lovely too, with
homemade cakes.
Definitely recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.341)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.341) out of 10 for Bilton Hall Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.341 for Bilton Hall Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (126 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (23 Satisfactorys x 3) + (10 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 208 Ratings = 4.341

  • b) 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 Hall Nursing Home is based on 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
