Review from Robert B (Son of Resident) published on 16 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife and I chose this particular nursing home because it was a small one and felt it would better serve my mother's needs. From the moment we walked in to view the home it radiated a very welcoming and homely atmosphere. We felt this was down to the small size of the home and the friendliness and
hospitality of all the staff. They certainly appear to work as a team.
My mother was only in the nursing home for an extremely short period of time during which she was treated with the utmost dignity and care. I must also comment on the understanding and kindness shown to us by all staff members we came into contact with.

My father was in Byron House for the last 6 weeks of his life and as a family we were so impressed with the care and dignity that he received from what is an exceptional team. My father settled in so quickly to what is a very homely environment and he was full of praise for the staff who helped him.
The catering was of a very good standard with different choices every day. From the management, nurses, catering, care and maintenance. The owners should be proud of the team at Byron House.

The home is welcoming, bright and airy. All newly decorated with attractive and purposeful displays on the walls. Furniture new and clean and environment pleasant without any odours. The staff are without a doubt dedicated, caring and giving, above a good standard. They made a big difference socially
to my father, as he was bedbound and would rely on company visiting his room. The standard of nursing care at the home made my fathers last 18 months as comfortable and happy as possible. The family would like to Thank you all!

We viewed this home at the beginning of the year along with others, but this one stood out. In the meantime, my dad went into respite where he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and was eventually moved to Byron House, we were over the moon.
The home is friendly with a homely environment, efficient
staff, whom are professional, warm and caring, even down to the chef who laid on the floor when my dad fell, keeping him calm until the ambulance arrived. He is one wonderful person.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Alzheimer's is a very cruel disease, robbing the sufferer of pride dignity and all that made them special. Byron House delivered outstanding care with grace, respect and humour that helped us keep Ma and that made her the unique person she was for as long as possible.


Her passing was made a little

easier to bear knowing how well she was looked after and the kindness she and all the members of her family were met with. We would all like to extend our sincere thanks to the staff at Byron House and would offer our recommendation.

Mum was treated extremely well while she was at Byron House. She was only there a week but even so, was treated like all the other residents. She especially enjoyed the food and loved being waited on!

Review from John E (Resident) published on 25 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I was due to have a whole hip replacement procedure within a week. Via the internet I contacted Byron House and outlined my requirements including full 24 hr nursing care etc for six weeks. Their administrator sent a brochure inclusive of typical menu, activity programme etc by first class post and
excellent response. Two days later me and my neighbour were very welcomed with refreshments and shown around the home and some of the empty rooms which were very impressive by the friendly manager. In conclusion a very well decorated and light room was booked. On arrival after five days release from hospital I was met by some of the pleasant care staff complete with wheelchair and taken to my selected room and straight away given sandwiches and tea, very appreciated. The room had been very well prepared with raised loo, chair and hospital type bed. During my stay the staff carried out a marvellous job looking after every need. A very pleasant and enjoyable stay.

The standard of care in this home is exemplary. The staff give 110% at all times. They are patient, caring, understanding, kind and sensitive to my father's needs. I cannot imagine how this could be improved. I would recommend Byron House to anyone. With all the bad press around regarding nursing care
this home is a shining example of how wrong this is. They are first class.

My mother seem very content and although I only see the home about 1 hour a week, the staff are always very attentive and affectionate with her. My only niggles with her wardrobe is sometimes a little bit smelly and I was asked to buy some shampoo once which is odd when I pay so much for the room anyway.
Overall I am very happy with the home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We selected Byron House for my mother's end of life care afer viewing four care homes. What impressed us about Byron when we first visited was the excellent management, the friendliness of the staff, and the beautiful, intimate facility - it felt like a home rather than a care home. Once my mother
moved in, it became even more evident that we had made the right choice - the staff were so kind and caring and nothing was too much bother. We would have no hesitation in recommending this wonderful home to others.

As somebody who is very close with her Grandma and values her independence and dignity, knowing she is safe and happy at Byron House is the best I could have hoped for. Byron House and it's lovely staff are kind, caring and very attentive to each resident. Thank you for taking such good care of my
Grandma in this tough time.

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.
