Cheese and Wine Evening. A lovely friendly atmosphere. It was very heartwarming to see my mum and other residents enjoying themselves. A great opportunity to get to chat to other residents and their families. Thank you to the staff.

Mum loves her stay at Bilton Court. She feels safe, the food is very good, and she says all I have to do is pull this string and someone comes. She is not very sociable, but there is no pressure for her to mix with other residents, which she appreciates. There is always a warm welcome for us and we
are thankful she settled from day one.

My mom loves it here, she was worried about going into a care home but after two days of settling in, she loves it. The staff can't do enough for her, she loves them. We were so lucky we found this place.

Due to my husband's advanced dementia and issues with my health, I made the difficult decision to seek a care home placement for him, initially three weeks for the price of two introductory offer, then continuing into a full-time arrangement.
From the outset, the staff were wonderfully understanding
in relation to our challenging circumstances, from the initial assessment at home (which our daughter dealt with) to the admissions, during early December, to the present time.
My husband's room is bright and well-equipped, there are always helpful carers about, health matters and administration are dealt with in a timely and professional manner, visitors are welcomed.
I am confident that, in the absence of me being able to care for my husband, he is in a safe and caring place where staff strive to meet his needs.

My mother has been a resident of Bilton Court since March 2024. She is so pleased to be living there. The care is exemplary, the food is amazing, and she has company, warmth, security and safety 24/7. She says frequently to me that she loves living there, and is so glad not to be living independently
anymore. It is her home.
The staff from top to bottom are wonderful. The variety of activities are wide-ranging and suitable for all.
The facilities are clean and comfortable; I often say it's like a Premier Inn for old folk!

I visited my friend along with his sister-in-law. Security is excellent on entering, everywhere is clean, friendly and bright with all the Christmas decorations. My friend's wife is terminally ill, resulting in him eventually being admitted to Bilton Court. The staff we encountered were caring and respectful
and mindful of a little chat which was calming and reassuring. It is a clean, homely environment. My friend enjoys his food. There were two carers who I feel shone.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone involved in looking after Mum during her last year. There were times when you had to go the extra mile but she appreciated that and used to tell us how kind everyone was and how well she was looked after. For that, I will be forever grateful.
My husband

Very happy with the care my mum was given. All the staff were very friendly and considerate.
My only complaint would be that she wasn't reminded to have a bath in her time there.

Care assistants offer us a drink which is very nice. Very caring staff towards my Aunt. Overall, pleased with Auntie's care, although she did say someone took a jug of water away yesterday and had not replaced it all day. I went to find a member of staff to rectify this.

My mum is well looked after at the care home and has settled in well. The staff all seem friendly and helpful and will ring me up if they have a query with anything or if mum has a fall, they will always let me know. The security is good and staff let us in and out, although sometimes when staff are
busy, especially weekends and evenings, you can wait to be let in from outside for about 10 minutes sometimes, but understand it keeps patients safe, but would be good to know pin number for exit to avoid interrupting staff. Overall very happy we chose this care home.

Reply from Zoe Smith, Manager at Bilton Court

Thank you for taking the time to review Bilton Court and we are pleased you rate our overall experience as very good. Thank you for your kind comments regarding our team, which I will pass on. The safety and well-being of our residents is always our priority, where colleagues support with access to ensure residents are not put at risk and we are aware of who is in our building for health and safety reasons. At busier times, it can take us a little longer to assist visitors. We welcome feedback to continuously improve care at Bilton Court, so my door is always open to discuss any matters relating to our care.

Mum has been a resident at Bilton Court for approx 4 1/2 years. During that time her care has always been of the highest standard. All of the staff are dedicated, patient and caring. Mum sadly passed away at Bilton Court as she wanted to be in her own surrounds at the end. Again, the gentleness with
which she was treated was amazing, but the staff also looked after my sisters and me during those last days. An amazing home with amazing staff. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.593)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.593) out of 10 for Bilton Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.593 for Bilton Court is calculated as follows: ( (197 Excellents x 5) + (95 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 307 Ratings = 4.593

  • 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 Bilton Court is based on 25 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 25 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.
