My mother has been at Burnworthy House for nearly two and a half years, during that time, her care has been consistently good. The staff are all very attentive and caring towards her. There is always a range of activities for her to take part in and regular outings which Mum really enjoys. I am very
happy with the care my mum gets and she is very happy living at Burnworthy.

My mother-in-law has now been living in Burnworthy House for nearly two and a half years. She has been cared for very well, particularly after her fall in July 2023 which resulted in a broken hip and subsequent loss of mobility.
As far as I can see, all her needs are taken care of by the staff who
are all very friendly, patient and helpful.

The Burnworthy House team were very attentive and engaged with my family member who was in the last weeks of life. The "welcome home" reception upon return from hospital was clearly uplifting for my aunt and made her last weeks comfortable and peaceful.
My aunt died at Burnworthy after more than seven
years of careful, engaging attention and care from the team. In particular, Burnworthy's help and efficiency in the days before and after my aunt's death were very highly valued and appreciated.

My father-in-law has settled in very happily at Burnworthy House. The staff have done so much to make him feel safe, welcome and supported. They go above and beyond to create such a homely, happy environment and it helps us to feel reassured that he is being cared for at a level that meets his needs.
Thank
you to the manager and all the staff for your commitment and dedication to him and our family.

My father has been using this facility since January 2022 and has been a permanent resident since April 2024.
I have nothing but praise for the staff and how they have cared for my father.
The level of care, in my opinion, is exceptional.

We have been very fortunate that our mother came to stay in Burnworthy House some five years ago. She has been well looked after and despite becoming increasingly frail, she has been happy.
Staff have all always been very friendly and helpful and this year they made a real effort to make a milestone
birthday a very special and memorable event.

I visited to join the celebrations for my aunt's 100th birthday. Everyone was so welcoming and seeing all the residents gathered together and enjoying themselves. The care and attention given to all residents was subtle but full of kindness and respect. Well done!

Burnworthy recently hosted a wonderful day for my mother's 100th Birthday - there were owls (!), balloons, cake, a card from the King and Queen. A staff member had made contact with some of Mum's old pupils and it was wonderful to see some of them there.
Very many thanks to all concerned.

This is my first experience of needing a placement in a residential care home. The staff could not have made a better impression! So warm and welcoming. Every effort has been made to make Mum feel at home and relaxed. Each time we visit, we are welcomed like family members. So lucky to have found Burnworthy!

Friendly staff, who make time to speak with me when I visit to explain how my relative's care is going. They also show me examples of the activities they undertake with my relative and I feel this enhances my relatives' life under their care, greatly. In summary, a very well-managed home with a professional,
caring team.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.953)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.953) out of 10 for Burnworthy House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.953 for Burnworthy House is calculated as follows: ( (123 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 128 Ratings = 4.953

  • 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 Burnworthy House is based on 11 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 11 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.

Alison Tiltman

Job Title: Registered Manager

I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, my name is Alison, and I am proud to be the manager of Burnworthy House.


My passion for care services started from an early age, as I was introduced to this career path by my late mother who worked in a residential care home all her working life and installed the benchmark I aim to work to – “would I accept this for my family?”.


I started my own career path in care in 1996 as a domiciliary care worker, and for the last 26 years I have worked various roles covering the many different aspect of care. These have included being a care coordinator, trainer, risk assessor, quality supervisor, deputy, and interim manager.


I hold an NVQ level 3 in health and social care, NVQ Level 5 in leadership for health and social care and several other qualifications including a trainer the trainer in moving and handling.


When not working I enjoy reading, going to aqua aerobics, spending time with my family including my dog (Max) and eating cake.


I look forward to meeting you and working together to make new moments and memories with you and your loved ones.
