About Loveday Kensington

We are a nursing home in Kensington, caring for people whose needs require qualified nursing alongside help with daily living. We look after older people and younger adults, including those living with dementia and people with physical disabilities. Having registered nurses on duty means medication, pain, wounds, continence and the difficulties people have with eating, drinking and moving can be managed properly and without waiting, and that a change in somebody's health is noticed early. Necessary as that work is, it is not the whole of a life, so we try to make sure people still choose when they get up, what they wear, what they would like to eat and who they want beside them. Nursing care for a person living with dementia asks for patience above everything else. We take time to learn about somebody's history, work, music and habits and the things that comfort or unsettle them, because that knowledge does more good than any procedure when a person is frightened or disorientated. We work closely with general practitioners, community teams, therapists and hospital staff, and keep families properly informed. Respite stays are available as well as permanent places. At our most recent inspection the Care Quality Commission rated us outstanding overall. We are pleased with that and conscious that a rating describes a particular moment. What keeps it true is the daily work and listening when somebody tells us something is wrong. Please come and see us.
