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. ?
Topcare Limited runs Albany Nursing Home, a nursing home in London, Waltham Forest with room for 61 residents. Its CQC registration covers people with dementia, people with a physical disability and people with mental health needs. Most homes in Waltham Forest are smaller: the median there is 9 beds.
In Waltham Forest, 93% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 5 out of 5 in February 2026. 94% of homes in Waltham Forest also score 5. The Grove, 0.7 km away, is the closest home rated Outstanding.
In April 2020, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Its rating before that, in October 2017, was the same. The rating is more than 5 years old. In Waltham Forest, 35% of ratings are that old (see how rating age varies by council).
