When I visited my mother I found Burnworthy House to be very clean. All the staff were very professional and friendly. I joined in with one of the activities and the staff member was very enthusiastic for the whole time. My mother said the food was always good.

I have a comfortable room where I can play my classical CDs and read undisturbed.
The staff here have taken care of me very well - always polite and friendly.
I always feel very 'at home'.
There is always a good variety of excellent food available.
I am sure 2019 will be an equally happy experience.

I would recommend Burnworthy House to anyone needing care, support and assistance. I visit every day and have always left with peace of mind that my dear friend is in the best place. The staff are wonderful, caring and compassionate about their residents. The food I am told is beyond expectations. The
house is spotlessly clean and the Activities Manager does a fantastic job, always smiling and encouraging residents to join in with a full calendar of activities. A first class care home in every way.

On each visit, I am pleasantly surprised by the degree of care and support offered by the staff at Burnworthy House. Most recently we celebrated a 95th Birthday with tea, cake, candles, banners and a lovely selection of carefully chosen pictures. Thank you so much for your kindness and compassion.

My first visit to Burnworthy to see my Nan and Grandad, who have just taken up residency and I found it very welcoming. All of the staff I met, were warm and friendly towards myself and my grandparents, and know they are in safe and capable hands. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My parent has been a resident for over a year. The staff are always around, caring and helpful. They know the resident's personal likes and dislikes and try to ensure they are happy and well looked after at all times. There is a large garden with seating under trees and undercover (bandstand) where
residents and family can sit comfortably outside and walk the grounds safely. Meals are good and I often stay to have lunch with the residents. Rooms are warm and light and everywhere is well decorated and inviting. There are often activities which the residents are encouraged to take part in. I would be happy to recommend Burnworthy House and it's staff.

The team at Burnworthy House are amazing. Everyone is cheerful they really get to know the residents and their families. Whenever I ask questions, they know who I am and are able to update me on anything and everything it does not matter which member of the team I speak with. The residents are treated
with the utmost respect and staff really care, going over and above to ensure residents are healthy, happy, stimulated and helped to enjoy and continue their interests. It is a beautiful home, light, airy, friendly and community focussed with a superb garden and home cooked food. Mum is really happy. Thank you all.

My Mother, when asked, has never any complaints on any aspect of Burnworthy House. Although she is in the early stages of dementia she is still very aware of the right way from wrong. I visit regularly and see for myself what a great home it is in every way.

Mum is very happy living at Burnworthy. She enjoys the plentiful activities and has made friends. The staff are always friendly and welcome visitors. They keep us up to date, with how Mum is and show us photos of activities she has participated in. The rooms are always clean and the lovely big garden
is a plus. I cannot fault the care she is being given and appreciates all the work the staff do to make Mum feel at home.

The best thing I can say about Burnworthy is that the staff are caring, without being careless and give the impression that this is a family home. Plus, the most important thing is that my mother in law likes it here.

We moved my father down from the Midlands and worried that he would settle but from the first 5 minutes, he was made to feel very welcome by all the staff and other residents.
There is plenty going on all the time and there is a lovely warm feeling to the home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.882)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.882) 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.882 for Burnworthy House is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.882
  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 20 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 20 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 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.
