About Loveday Kensington
Loveday Kensington combines nursing care with memory support and recovery stays for older people, including those living with dementia, Parkinson’s and other complex conditions. Its model brings clinical support, wellness programmes and hospitality together within the residence.
Residents can access GP visits, dentistry and physiotherapy on site, alongside other medical and therapeutic services. Planned and emergency respite or recovery stays are available subject to assessment and availability. Couples with different care needs can also receive bespoke living arrangements that allow them to remain together. Clinical services delivered within the residence can reduce the need to travel for routine support in London.

Questions families ask
How much does Loveday Kensington cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Loveday Kensington for its weekly fee. As a guide, Kensington and Chelsea council paid on average £1,228 a week for a nursing care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £1,102 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
Who pays for a place in this home?
Ask Loveday Kensington whether it takes residents funded by Kensington and Chelsea council and what it charges people who pay for themselves. In England the council may help after a needs assessment and a financial assessment if savings and assets are below £23,250 (2026 to 2027 rules). In a nursing home the NHS also pays £267.68 a week towards the nursing care of residents assessed as needing it. People whose needs are mainly health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which pays the full fee.
