Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been delighted with the care and consideration my nana has received at Burnworthy House. I always appreciate how willing the staff ate to spend time with the residents and not rush off to the next job. It is an encouraging environment to be in with lots of energy and genuinely caring staff.

It provides great comfort to the family knowing that nana is being so well cared for. The accommodation at Burnsworthy House with the outlook and gardens provides a lovely environment. Nana always compliments the food and how nice the staff are. I have always found them personally to be polite, caring,
compassionate and fun, this is a real positive as nana loves to laugh. I would recommend it to another family looking for similar accommodation for their loved one.

Apart from the comfort of knowing my mum is well looked after in a clean, friendly and professional home. I like the way all staff have the time to spend a few moments chatting with my mum. That personal, caring touch with the time to do it is greatly valued.

I was a bit worried about going into a home. My fears were unfounded, I wish I had come sooner. My care is excellent and my carers are lovely. I am fed well and kept spotlessly clean. My mental and wellbeing is being looked after to the highest degree. I could not wish for anything better.

Mum first settled into the home much better than we had expected. It is lovely that the staff always seem to have time to chat for a while, which is so important to Mum. Mum really enjoys her meals and says the staff are really caring for her.

Staff are warm and friendly, can't do enough to help my mother in law. They have made the transition into a care home as wonderful as possible. My mother in law is looked after really well, she is happy and feels safe at long last. She also says the food is fabulous.

First of all its safety procedures are impeccable especially in these Covid times. All the staff I have interfaced with have been extremely friendly and helpful and it is clear that they are caring for my mum to the utmost.
I have found Burnworthy House to be caring, flexible with tight parameters
and a happy environment.

I have always found Burnworthy House and the staff working there to provide excellent care for my mother-in-law and to always communicate well with our family about how she is getting on. They are doing a marvellous job in the very challenging times we have all been experiencing.

The patience of the staff and the kindness they show towards my mother is a superb example of how to look after elderly residents. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. Everything is explained to me clearly. In summary absolutely superb.

The staff at Burnworthy are always friendly and cheerful and have made mum's stay very comfortable. They are caring and manage to keep a sense of humour, which always helps, during these very difficult times so thank you all. Marley is also a very welcome companion to everyone although I did spot a
cute couple of lambs visiting last week giving him a little competition!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.945)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.945) out of 10 for Burnworthy House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.945 for Burnworthy House is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 199 Ratings = 4.945
  2. 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 17 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Alison

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.
