  • Banbury Heights Nursing Home, Banbury
Banbury Heights is a family-run nursing home that has been providing high-quality, person-centred care to the residents of Banbury since 2003.

At Banbury Heights, each resident has a tailored care plan developed by the nursing home’s team, together with the resident and their family.

Everybody’s needs are different so their care should be too – recognising this at all times is the key to their ethos of work at Banbury Heights.

With fantastic shared spaces, including a light, airy conservatory, residents can spend time with visiting friends and family members in comfort, and private bedrooms offer peace and quiet to read the paper or a good book.

Ideally located just outside the town centre, Banbury Heights Nursing Home is a fantastic place that always puts residents’ needs first and takes pride in the expert care provided.

My mother spent the last two months of her life at Banbury Heights Nursing Home. The whole staff were professional, compassionate, patient and kind. They took great care of my mum and provided exactly the right level of care. Their communication with me was excellent. I would unequivocally recommend
Banbury Heights Nursing Home to any family in the same situation.

Dad spent a couple of weeks at Banbury Heights and from what I saw of the home it was truly exceptional. Staff were excellent, food was very good and the place itself was exceptional. Given the horror stories one hears about residential homes, this place was without doubt exceptional.

Very knowledgeable Nursing staff that lead the overall staff team well. Ensuring that all staff are attentive and respectful to residents. Personally, it was nice for my Dad to have male staff on duty too. The home also has a brilliant 'activities' team, organising some truly memorable days and events
that the whole family are invited to.
THANK YOU for all you did!!

My mother spent 4 years at Banbury Heights and in all that time, was cared for very well. When she dies at the end of May 2017, their compassion and care from the staff was excellent. We spent as much time as we wanted with my dying mother and family. She died very peacefully and with dignity. Overall,
the home was excellent.

I live in Australia but phoned mum regularly.
Each time I did the staff were always helpful and cheerful.
When mum became ill they spoke to us about her with genuine concern.
We visited the home on mum's death and found the staff compassionate.
We looked through the home and found it clean and inviting.
The
staff knew who I was from the many phone calls and offered genuine symapathy.
On the whole, I was happy with where mum spent the last few years of her life.

My mother tells me every day how happy she is and how caring the staff are.
After the first few months of my mother's residence at the home, my daughter told me, "I am not sure what to do, I have never had to deal with a really happy Nan before!"

Banbury Heights Nursing Home was used for my father's rehabilitation that he so needed after spending a long period of time in the hospital. The care provided was of a high standard towards my father. The carers and nurses were very kind caring, friendly and considerate towards my father and us as a
family. We were always made welcome and cannot fault the care that was provided.

For the past year, my mother has been a resident of Banbury Heights, the first five moths with her husband. Upon his death, the staff have helped her to move on, join in, become a new person. It is hard to find fault with the care that she gets.
She is very happy in herself, the carers encourage her
to enjoy her life and help her with all her needs. She tells me she feels safe.

My mother spent 8 weeks at the nursing home following her discharge from hospital. The care and support she received was excellent from the whole team. My mother initially was unable to do any of her personal care and had to rely on support from male and female staff. My mum felt that she was treated
with respect and her dignity managed under the circumstances.

Current Review Score: 8.3 (8.318)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.3 (8.318) out of 10 for Banbury Heights Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.0 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.025 for Banbury Heights Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (15 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 119 Ratings = 4.025

  • 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 4.293 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Banbury Heights Nursing Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.8 = 0.593

  • 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.
