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. ?
Burnworthy House is one of 194 care homes in Somerset: a 39-bed residential care home in South Petherton, run by Somerset Care Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia and younger adults. The typical home in Somerset has 25 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
In October 2021, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in December 2019. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 31% of homes in Somerset. Here is how rating age varies by council.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. It is one of 21 homes run by Somerset Care Limited. 20 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Across Somerset, 89% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in September 2026. That is true of 94% of homes in Somerset.
