The Kensington is centrally located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, just north of Holland Park Avenue, close to shops and convenient for friends and relatives. This attractive home has been purpose-designed in keeping with the surrounding architecture and offers a thoughtful layout and tasteful decoration to a high standard. There are several lounge areas where residents may meet to chat or entertain guests, and the dining room is in the magnificent conservatory. As well as a spacious, mature private garden with plenty of seating, residents and their guests may enjoy the private gardens of nearby Ladbroke Square. All the bedrooms are attractively decorated, and all offer en-suite facilities. Personal interests are encouraged and daily activities include painting, gardening, board games and trips to central London venues. The Kensington also offers care to younger people with learning or physical disabilities, and to those who require palliative or terminal care. The Kensington also has BUPA Assisted Living properties in its grounds. 

The Kensington is currently undergoing a refurbishment programme, completion due January 2008. Call 0207 727 8033 to arrange a viewing without obligation.

BUPA Care Homes

All our homes offer the quality of care you'd expect from BUPA. We employ dedicated, well trained staff, to provide 24-hour care in a professional and respectful way.

Above all, each resident is treated as an individual, and able to exercise choice in all aspects of their care. We encourage as full and active a lifestyle as possible, with rules and regulations kept to minimum, and visitors are welcome at any time.

Each resident has their own regularly updated care plan. Additional services such as speech therapy or physiotherapy can always be arranged, as can opticians and dentists appointments.

All rooms have television points and safety features such as smoke detectors and 24-hour nurse-call systems. Residents are welcome to bring personal belongings and small items of furniture, and pets are allowed in some homes.

Each home has an activities organiser to provide stimulating and interesting activities, taking account of residents' interests. There is always a varied menu of fresh, nutritious food, but special dietary or cultural needs will always be catered for.

Fees vary for each home, room and the level of care needed. Please contact the home manager directly to get an individualised quote.
