Burnlea have taken amazing and compassionate care of my elderly mother, her needs are completely taken care of in every respect.
Staff are amazing, patient and so friendly.
So glad I found this home and so glad they had room for my mother.
The home is spotless, and has an amazing cook.
Loads of
interaction and sociable things going on.
An absolute gem.

Dad came to Burnlea straight from hospital. We were overjoyed when we heard a room was free for him as, being local, we knew he was about to receive the very best of care.
The first big surprise was when we visited the day after he had been admitted, after languishing in hospital for over 3 months,
and found him in the sitting room looking as if he'd never been in hospital at all. He was fully clothed, washed, shaved, looking a 'million dollars'. What a relief! On looking around all the residents looked really well turned out, there was none of the 'old people stench' I'd experienced when Mum had been in care, the whole place was spotlessly clean and fresh but most of all the staff were all bright eyed and genuinely friendly. It honestly feels like Dad is being looked after by members his own family.
After so many years of looking after my Dad's concerns it's a huge relief not to be worried about his care.
This is an exceptionally well-managed home!

My mum has been a resident at Burnlea since autumn 2023 - I have been really impressed with the standard of care she has received. Mum's care, both in terms of general care and nursing care, has been of a high standard. Prior to entering Burnlea, there was not a day that went by without Mum telling
me about her pain - now she never reports being sore. She has gained much needed weight. She has been very well looked after by a friendly and happy team.

I really cannot fault anything about Burnlea. The care is excellent and the general attention to detail is very high.
Even though the main building is old, it is kept in a very good state of repair. I think many of the residents feel very at Home there.

Everytime I visited the care home I received a warm welcome from all the staff. I always found my mum well-presented and clean and tidy. Her room is very clean and tidy too and her toilet and shower area well kept. Mum is pleased to see information kept on her whiteboard in her room and new information
added by family when they visit. Mum has told me she enjoys her meals and the afternoon activities.

Burnlea Care Home has looked after my father, who has dementia, for several months. I am always struck by how caring and thoughtful the staff are to my father and also my mother when she visits. They have helped make a difficult time for my family more bearable.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.502)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.502) out of 10 for Burnlea is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.702 for Burnlea is calculated as follows: ( (68 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.702

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Burnlea is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 8 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.
