My uncle has improved amazingly since being here. Healthwise he has very good care. Mentally he is so much better. The staff are lovely and very caring. He has a good rapport with them. They are also very chatty and friendly with us. They always inform me what is happening with my uncle. We are extremely
happy with the care he is receiving.

Reply from Sarah Williams, Marketing Manager at Byron House Care Home

We're thrilled to hear how well your Uncle is doing, it's wonderful to know he's thriving both physically and mentally. Our team works hard to provide not just quality care, but meaningful connections too. Your feedback means a lot to us, thank you.

We recently moved mum from another care provider to Byron House. It's like as though my whole world has changed. The care of mum is amazing, nothing too much trouble. I don't have to chase anybody, they are proactive in contracting me. She is always beautifully dressed, clean hair etc. Thank you and
warm loving environment.

Reply from Sarah Williams, Marketing Manager at Byron House Care Home

I have had previous experience of the exceptional service at Byron House Care Home, so when helping my neighbour and friend find her final "home", I hesitate in recommending Byron House again.
I am in awe of the staff who are all so caring and attentive, they go above and beyond for their residents.
The home is well-run by a fantastic, caring management team, the staff here are angels and I can't thank them enough.

As soon as I saw Byron House Care Home and met the staff, I knew that this was the place that would provide the care and respect that my darling wife deserved whilst she bravely battled against the cruellest of brain diseases (PSP - progressive supranuclear palsy).
The friendly, family atmosphere greatly
impressed all the members of our family and friends who visited her during her stay. The high standard of its decor, equipment and food goes without saying and the care provided was exemplary.

Mum has been a resident at Byron House for over a year and has been happy here. She enjoys the food and the activities she takes part in. Without exception, the staff are friendly and caring and are always concerned to see that Mum is well looked after. In Mum's words, she is content here and we are
pleased that we chose Byron House at the time that Mum needed more care and looking after.

Byron House is excellent! The staff are brilliant and are extremely professional, caring, patient and considerate. The staff spend a lot of time with the residents and create a really warm and friendly family atmosphere. We feel lucky that Byron House had a room available when we were looking for permanent
nursing care for my uncle. It so well deserves its CQC rating of 'outstanding'. Brilliant!

My lonely friend wasn't happy or settling in her previous home, however, moving her to Byron House was the best decision ever. The staff are amazing and she is definitely getting the care she needs. She had lost a lot of weight (too much), however, since arriving at Byron House she has started to put
some on. We are really happy with everything, just wish we had moved her sooner. Thank you.

My mother, who until recently lived in her own home and was supported by carers. She has sadly spent six weeks in hospital, and as Byron House has such wonderful reviews, I visited with a view to making it Mum’s new home. Unfortunately, a hospital poorly and incorrectly discharged her to Byron House.
Although this could have been a potentially worrying experience, I need not have been concerned. This is when I knew I had made a brilliant choice! The team were so caring, attentive and thoroughly professional. They engaged with Mum, doctors, and the hospital and spoke kindly and fairly with me, her daughter to create a plan. There was no limit on their time or care. Mum is currently seeing a Doctor at the local hospital, which is in her best interest, but I have full confidence in every member of staff at Byron House for Mum’s imminent return. As someone who recognises teamwork and support, I have great admiration for every one of the excellent teams I saw in action today. Thank you.

The transition from home to care home can be difficult at times; however, the team at Byron House recognise this and aims to make the process as safe, seamless and comfortable as possible for both residents and family members.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.952)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.952) out of 10 for Byron House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

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

    The Average Rating of 4.952 for Byron House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (236 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 248 Ratings = 4.952

  • 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 Byron House Care 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:

    • 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 21 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.
