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. ?
Sage Care Homes (Willowbank) Limited runs Willowbank Nursing Home, a nursing home in Burnley, Lancashire with room for 53 residents. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with mental health needs. That is larger than most homes in Lancashire, where the typical home has 28 beds.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in November 2019. That matches its previous rating, from May 2017. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Lancashire, 47% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in September 2026. That is true of 77% of homes in Lancashire. In Lancashire, 83% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%).
