Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 24 good, 8 exceptional, 1 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
CQC's register shows no registered manager for this home. Every care home must have one. The home may be recruiting, or a new manager may be applying to CQC. ?
Burnham Lodge is in the Good, with Outstanding areas tier ?, with 6 other homes in Buckinghamshire.
73% of rated homes here are Good or Outstanding (England: 82%).
Burnham Lodge is a 60-bed nursing home in Burnham, Buckinghamshire. The home is its own registered provider. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. Most homes in Buckinghamshire are smaller: the median there is 30 beds.
6 other homes in Buckinghamshire share its tier, “Good, with Outstanding areas”. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in October 2025. 90% of homes in Buckinghamshire also score 5. There is no registered manager on CQC's register right now. Of the 5 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
CQC's latest rating, from April 2026, is Good overall. Safe, effective, responsive and well-led were also Good. Caring was rated Outstanding. That is up from Requires improvement in December 2021. That is more recent than most ratings in Buckinghamshire, where the typical rating is about 6 years old. CQC found some shortfalls in “medicines optimisation”, one of 1 standards out of 33 scored below good.
