Review from Jane M (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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. Thank you once again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum, who is living with Alzheimer’s, has very much benefited from being at Byron House Care Home. From our initial visit and through the application and moving in process, the staff were very helpful and sensitive to our needs. The bedrooms and communal areas are lovely. There are organised activities
every morning and afternoon and we are delighted to see her engage in these and to see evidence of this in some of the photos that they have taken with our permission. The care staff, nurses and management all help to create a friendly and familial atmosphere to make it feel like home. The medical care and attention has been excellent and we feel that Mum is safe and well looked after. Mum had a milestone birthday last week and the staff helped to celebrate it in various delightful ways including helping to organise a party and decorating the conservatory with balloons and banners and baking her a lovely, big cake. They also accommodated our family birthday party there.

I waited over two years to get my dad into Byron House Care Home. It was the only home we visited that both myself and sister could see our dad settling into. It's very clean but still looks inviting and the staff are wonderful, they never talk down to my dad, they listen and explain what they are doing.

As soon as my sister moved to Bryon House, all the staff and the manager made her and us welcome. Taking the time to introduce themselves. Although the physical aspect from my sister is more settled, she is less aggressive and more talkative since the move. The staff also ensure she eats really well.
Overall, we are very happy with the care and think the staff are brilliant.

My grandad is so happy at Byron House Care Home, it is so lovely to see. Every staff member always has a smile, no request is too big or too small. I am so amazed by the level of care. My grandad has made multiple comments about how much of a family feel Byron House is and I completely agree.

From the moment I spoke to the Manager of Byron House, I knew it was the perfect place for my mother. She was friendly, really enthusiastic about the activities they organised and was really helpful in moving mum in. I found this with the other staff as well. It’s shame I can’t mention their names because
I feel they really had the best interests of their residents in mind. Sadly, my mum was only there for two weeks before suddenly passing away. The staff were very kind to me whilst I was with mum over the last couple of days of her life. Two very supportive nurses sat with me during the last moments of her life. It has a lovely atmosphere, caring staff and lots of entertainment for the residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband was only in Byron House for a month after being in a different care home for seven months prior to my moving him. I wish I had moved him earlier as I have nothing but praise for the care and attention he received in his final month of life. Covid restrictions of course made a difference but
I was made to feel welcome on each visit, given regular updates and genuinely felt the atmosphere and ethos being established within the home was what I had been seeking. All the staff I met were friendly and communicative, showing empathy for the residents and their families. It is not easy to evaluate activities, food and drink and to some extent daily life in the home because of COVID and my husband’s needs. The end-of-life care my husband received and the kindness shown to us his family at this time was all we could have wished for. Thank you Byron House staff.

My father was a resident at Byron House for several years and throughout that time he was very well cared for. The nurses and carers have all been superb in their attention to his care and welfare, and although he was in bed they made every effort to involve him in the activities and events taking place
where possible. The home is quite new and very clean with good facilities.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.949)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.949) out of 10 for Byron House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.949 for Byron House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (225 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 237 Ratings = 4.949
  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 House Care Home is based on 20 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 20 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.
