Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 29 good, 1 exceptional, 3 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. ?
Guardian Health Care PVT LTD runs Angel Mount Care Home, a nursing home in Accrington, Lancashire with room for 39 residents. Its CQC registration covers people with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment.
In December 2024, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. Before that, in May 2023, it was rated Requires improvement. Ratings in Lancashire are typically about 5 years old, which makes this one newer than most. CQC found some shortfalls in “responding to people's immediate needs”, one of 3 standards out of 33 scored below good.
None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating. Across Lancashire, 83% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Food hygiene inspectors scored the kitchen 4 out of 5 in October 2025. 77% of homes in Lancashire score the top mark of 5.
