Angelcare UK Limited

The provider demonstrated a consistently good standard of care across the service. There was a positive learning culture, with staff encouraged to report concerns openly and lessons from incidents routinely reviewed and embedded into practice. Safeguarding arrangements were effective. Although a small number of statutory notifications had been initially overlooked, the registered manager took immediate corrective action.

People experienced safe, person-centred care supported by well‑established processes for assessing and managing risks. Risk assessments were detailed, kept up to date and informed staff practice. Infection prevention and control arrangements were established and effective. People and their families were involved in planning and reviewing care, and the electronic care system ensured staff had up‑to‑date information.

Medicines were managed safely, with improvements made since the last inspection. Consent was sought appropriately, and staff understood their responsibilities under the Mental Capacity Act.

Staffing was a notable strength. The provider ensured there were enough suitably skilled staff who received consistent supervision, training and development opportunities. Induction and competency processes were robust. People and relatives told us staff were reliable, well trained and provided good quality care, including exceptional end‑of‑life support informed by Gold Standard Framework (GSF)

Leadership across the service was strong and inclusive. Both registered managers promoted an open, positive culture and staff described feeling valued and supported.

Governance systems were effective and embedded. The provider was committed to continuous learning and innovation. They actively sought feedback from staff, people using the service and families, using this to shape improvements. Leadership also extended into the wider community through partnerships, mentoring and social action initiatives, demonstrating a commitment to social responsibility and high‑quality care.
