Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been at Bilton Hall since February 2015 and has settled in really well. He is happy and very well looked after. I am confident that his needs are supported and he enjoys a happy relationship with the staff who seem to genuinely like and care for him.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been a resident here for 9 months and finds everything very pleasant and enjoys all aspects of his life. The caring and friendly staff, delicious meals, interesting activities and events. When I am unable to visit the carers take him out to walk in the lovely grounds and he plays the piano
regularly. I am really happy with every aspect of the care my father receives and I enjoy visiting the home regularly!

A charming historic building with the ambience or country house hotel. The staff are extremely caring and gentle towards residents and visitors!. We have been most impressed with the improvement in our relatives condition, since she arrived were from home four months ago. Entirely due to the work dome

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
A very friendly environment with activities provided to stimulate the residents. As a visitor I always feel welcome whenever I call. The observations are that each resident is treated as an individual in their own right and needs, with dignity.
Interest is taken in each person..
Entertainment is
provided which all seem to enjoy. Although mum does not always remember me I see she always has a smile for the staff and seems happy and content.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.574)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.574) 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 4.6 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.574 for Bilton Hall Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (178 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 256 Ratings = 4.574
  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 21 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 21 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.
