Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

My husband has now been a resident at Bilton Hall for almost two years and I have visited him there several times a week throughout this time.
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
has settled in happily and I have confidence that he is well cared for in all respects.

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.

Mum has been here for 6 months and we are all very happy with her care.
The staff are very welcoming and mum likes them all.
Friendly and we cannot fault their professional manner or that of the management.
The stunning, prize-winning garden and well-kept grounds and building are a huge bonus.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife was suffering from late-stage Alzheimers and spent the last three weeks of her life in Bilton Hall. The quality of care afforded to her was excellent and she was treated with dignity and respect throughout her all too brief stay. Her private room on the ground floor was well appointed and had
pleasant outside views. My only regret was that she was not well enough to be taken outside to enjoy the scenic surroundings and private enclosed garden. This is a first-class nursing home in a building full of character and the staff are trained to deliver a high degree of client service.

My mother had significant health problems and this care home, through its dedicated nursing and support staff, provided exceptional care. They kept me extremely well informed of her care package. The rooms are bright, airy and fit for purpose. Food is made on the premises and of a high quality. Unfortunately,
my mother was bedridden so I cannot comment on activities. Staff were always caring and compassionate.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother spent the last six months of her life as a resident of Bilton Hall Nursing Home. The staff provided all the care, support and security that we could have wished for.
They became members of our extended family, always welcoming yet professional and treated Mum with care and compassion.
The
six months spent there were some of the happiest and most memorable in her last five years. The companionship of other residents, range of activities and quality of care were very important. We as a family wanted the very best for Mum and we believe that we achieved that at Bilton Hall Nursing Home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.707)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.707) out of 10 for Bilton Hall 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.707 for Bilton Hall Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (242 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 304 Ratings = 4.707
  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 Hall Nursing Home is based on 25 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 25 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.
