Welcome to The Kensington Care Home in London

newly refurbished

Our large, elegantly converted Victorian terraced house is situated in an attractive residential area just north of Holland Park Avenue. The building retains many original architectural features and the layout has a relaxed, homely atmosphere. Our home is surrounded by beautiful grounds with patio areas, a shaded gazebo and sensory garden.

We are proud of the facilities and activities we are able to offer residents. We provide a safe, secure environment that allows people as much independence as possible. We maintain the highest standards of care and hygiene and our registered nurses and highly-trained care assistants are on hand 24-hours a day.

Life at The Kensington Care Home

Fun and engaging activities are a great way for residents to socialise and they help improve appetites and sleeping patterns. We aim to find something enjoyable for all residents to take part in, regardless of ability.

    Our activities

    Our dedicated activity co-ordinator makes sure there's plenty for everyone to enjoy at The Kensington, including gentle exercise classes, quizzes and classical concerts.

    Residents are encouraged to pursue their own interests or perhaps try something new. Local entertainers often pop by to perform, the mobile library visits regularly and there are frequent trips to the cinema and local museums.

    Further afield we organise days out shopping in the West End and to the lush greens of Holland Park and Kensington Gardens. Friends and relatives are welcome to join in at any time.

    Our rooms

    All our spacious, colour co-ordinated bedrooms are ensuite and all the corridors are air-conditioned to ensure a comfortable temperature at all times. Many feature lovely views of the surrounding gardens.

    We want our residents to feel as at home as possible. With that in mind we encourage them to bring their own ornaments, pictures and small items of furniture with them.

    You can make an appointment by calling us and booking in a visit with our home manager.  We have an open door policy, so you’re welcome to pop in to the home at any time. However, we advise you avoid visiting at main meal times as these can be very busy.

    Depending on its size, new residents are welcome to bring furniture to their new room. Many of our residents bring a favourite armchair or pictures and other small belongings to personalise their room.

    This depends on availability of rooms in the home, understanding the cost of care and the person moving in receiving a care assessment.
