Questions families ask

What should dementia care homes offer?

Dementia care should adapt to the person’s history, routines, communication and changing needs. A CQC rating is useful evidence, but it does not by itself show whether a home is the right environment for a particular person. Some dementia care homes are residential homes, others also provide 24-hour nursing care for people with clinical needs, so confirm that the home can support the person’s diagnosis, communication, mobility, medicines and likely future needs.

How many dementia care homes are there in Kensington and Chelsea?

7 dementia care homes in Kensington and Chelsea are on the CQC register (data of 2 November 2026).

Which dementia care homes in Kensington and Chelsea are rated Outstanding?

Loveday Kensington.

How much does a care home cost in Kensington and Chelsea?

Kensington and Chelsea council paid on average £1,317 a week for residential care and £1,228 for nursing care for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025. For adults aged 18 to 64 it paid £1,524 and £2,006. Across England the averages were £982 and £1,102 for people aged 65 and over.
