My wife has been in the care of Byron Lodge since 2016. All the staff have always treated me with the utmost respect, any problems I have had are dealt with straight away and all the improvements been made in the last few months have made Byron Lodge a very good home for all the residents living there.
The care provided is of a very high standard and I would not want my wife anywhere else.

My mother has been a resident for eighteen months. She has settled in well and is happy to be there. The staff are very caring and approachable. Training is ongoing and activities are varied and are aimed towards resident's needs.

Staff are friendly and approachable and my parent seems happy and settled. Over the recent months, I have noticed a lot of input in training of staff, resident care and ongoing improvement to premises. I can see these things having a positive experience for my parent.


Majority of the staff treat

residents with dignity in a caring considerate way.

Extremely friendly and welcoming staff. Always welcome and say hello. They are forever on their feet grafting away, checking and talking to the residents. They always make sure mom is comfortable, fed and watered. She has very much kept her dignity while she has been at the home.
Entertainment in the
home is great and it is always nice to see the residents enjoying the singer who comes in.
Food is good but needs some fruit in the trifle.

My mother has been a resident for nearly 6 years now and I would be more than happy to recommend this home.


My mother is very settled which is down mainly to the carers who I feel look after Mum.


The management staff are very approachable and will listen to concerns and any potential faults at

the home.


The manager is always available for a chat and always replies to queries asap.

We got a new owner recently when the home was poor in all categories, especially management.
Since then, and after the latest CQC visit and report, which was very poor and justified. With the introduction of new management, the home is being transformed. Management have much improved.
Staff was at
a very low morale, now much improved and getting better each day.
I think the home is on the right track after a few difficult years.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.816)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.816) out of 10 for Byron Lodge Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.816 for Byron Lodge Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 223 Ratings = 4.816

  • 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 Byron Lodge Care Home is based on 19 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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2, which has been reached with 19 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.
