I have been very pleased with the care that the staff have provided for my mother.
The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. They encourage the residents to participate in activities and treat everyone as an individual. My mother was initially on a respite placement and I have now made it a permanent
placement.

Brilliant. We are extremely satisfied with Byron House Care Home. I have just come back from my visit to see my mother-in-law, and am so pleased and reassured by the very high standards of care shown to her. The staff were welcoming and her room was delightful, light and airy. My mother-in-law's comfort,
health and wellness were of utmost importance to staff and I felt she was extremely safe and content. I would not hesitate in recommending.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was at Byron House for just over a year and was very well cared for during this time. All of the staff are incredible and all got to know him very quickly so he was able to settle in well. He had dementia and was treated with dignity and care. As his needs increased his care was adapted to keep
him as happy and comfortable as possible. The home is always clean and welcoming and the garden is lovely.
Since lockdown started, due to Covid, the staff have done all they can to keep me informed of any updates and arrange video calls and visits in the conservatory through the window. It was reassuring for me to know that while I was unable to visit my dad he was being so well cared for by the amazing staff here. Thank you to all of the staff.
Reply from Sophia Roberts, Westgate Healthcare Manager at Byron House Care Home

Thank you Jessica for your kind review. Kyla and her team at Byron House will be delighted to hear your feedback, especially our activities team who have been coming up with new ideas during the lockdown to support the wellbeing of our residents. Many thanks again.

Review from Sharon (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 July 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Sadly our father was only at Byron house for a few days. He became quite poorly very quickly and sadly passed away four days after arriving at the home.
All of the staff at the home were amazing. Nothing was too much trouble and they kept us fully informed of what was happening with dad at all times.
The
care he received was wonderful, they made sure he was comfortable and cared for, which relieved the pressure on us at an awful time.
Had dad recovered we would have been really happy for him to remain at Byron House to be looked after.
We would have no hesitation in recommending the home to anyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt has stayed in multiple homes in the Aylesbury Vale for respite/permanent care and this was one of our families and her favourites.
The care staff were exceptionally caring, really felt that they wanted to get to know her and ultimately treated my aunt like she was a family member of their own.
She still talks about the staff at Byron to us now! The manager really was outstanding, appearing to have time for everyone, residents, staff and relatives. Overall the home seems to benefit from it's smaller size than these modern 60+ home builds, giving it a more welcome and intimate feel, something the home seems to have perfected.
If it was my cousins and my choice and not hers, she would still be there!

My Stepmother has been at Byron House for the past 18 months. The treatment and care she has received have been amazing. The facilities and activities encouraging the patients have kept everyone totally occupied and involved including relatives. The staff are so caring and provide every possible need
the patients need and wish for. The manager is a kind and lovely person.

My mother has been a resident at Byron House care home since July 2019. She has late-stage Alzheimer's and is bed-bound.
Initially, I had some reservations about transferring my mother from her own home to a care home. However, I have been very impressed with the level of care and support which she
has been receiving in this care home and I am glad that my mother is now being well cared for at Byron House. I believe that this is mainly due to the excellent management and nursing staff, who are always available to help and are willing to listen with care and compassion about any concerns.
I would strongly recommend Byron House as an excellent care home.

I visit my friend who has cancer and every time I go all the staff from manager, nurses, HCA's - everyone is so helpful and caring. Most of the residents have Alzheimer's and some can be very difficult at times. But I have only seen compassion and patience from the staff. Truly impressed.

My wife was a resident at Byron House until September 2016 when she sadly passed away.
I keep in contact and visit Byron House from time to time.
This, in my opinion, is still an excellent home.
Nowhere is perfect but myself and our family were very pleased with my wife's care there.
She was one
of the first 2 residents.
The only problem, like many homes, is retaining the best staff!

The care is second to none. The nurses, manager and care team are very skilled and dedicated to the residents. The home is very clean throughout. Visitors are made to feel very welcome, and kept up to speed with how their loved ones are. The decor is very good and the activities are always there for
the residents to get involved in. All in all, an excellent choice for your loved one.

My wife has been a resident at Byron House for four months now. We were impressed by the cleanliness and helpful staff when first viewing the home. She has now settled in and is well looked after. Her appetite is poor but the staff are patient and always looking for ways to tempt her. She has had a
few falls but strategies are in place to minimise these. At times the laundry is slow to return clothes to her room and an extra person employed on this duty would aid matters greatly.

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.
