About
Kingsmount Residential Home is a care home in Paignton, Torbay, on the Devon coast in South West England. It has 32 registered beds. The home was once part of Oldway Mansion, and it keeps much of the building's older character while offering views over Torbay. Following a major refurbishment, the building now meets modern standards and is set up to support residents' comfort and daily routines.
Meals are cooked fresh each day in the home's own kitchen, with a choice at each sitting and dietary needs catered for. Residents can relax in a secure, well-kept garden, and an activities team arranges entertainment, outings and one-to-one time, including for those who prefer to stay in their room. The home is rated Good by the Care Quality Commission, with Good grades across the Safe, Effective, Caring, Responsive and Well-led areas.
