Read CQC's assessment overview

The following is CQC's published account of its assessment, published 12 December 2024. References to “we” mean CQC. It describes findings at that time.

Angel Mount Care Home is a residential care home providing personal and nursing care to people with physical, mental health, and sensory needs and for people living with a dementia. We assessed all quality statements under the five key questions of Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well Led. We undertook onsite visits on 22 and 23 October 2024. Accidents and incidents were managed well and the environment people lived in was safe. People were safeguarded from the risk of abuse and staff had completed a range of training courses relevant to their role. There were a range of audits and safety checks in place, however, not all quality checks identified the concerns found during the inspection and work was needed to ensure the recording of incidents was more robust. Medication records required strengthening and staff recruitment processes needed to be more robust.

Effective: Good
Caring: Good
