The staff at Loveday Kensington were exceptionally helpful from the start. It was a rush as my mother was to be discharged from hospital just before Christmas. This did not phase the staff at all. They all sprang into action and went above and beyond. My mother became a resident on Christmas Eve and has been happy ever since. Activities are numerous, with residents encouraged to attend. The place is pristine, well laid out and open plan which means the residents are never isolated or lonely. The food is outstanding and the dining room service redolent of a restaurant, with attentive waiters. For those visiting, every attention is paid, with welcoming cups of tea/coffee/anything else to greet one, together with a selection of snacks and pastries. The residents look well-kept and clean and cared for. Medical care is impressive. One can bring in small items of furniture to make the pleasant rooms even more comfortable. One can visit at any time. Communication with the family is excellent.

My 83 year old mum was recovering from surgery. I was her primary caregiver. I had to travel for 2 weeks and I am glad I chose Loveday Kensington. She felt like she had gone on a spa holiday. A place where all her needs were attended to with a lot of recreational activities to keep her active. Thank you so much to everyone.

Very easy registration. Extremely welcoming care-staff who go to extraordinary lengths to make sure that you are comfortable. Very accommodating kitchen staff who cook extremely enjoyable food. Cleaning staff are conscientious. Most of all the lengths that every member of the staff go to establish a personal relationship with you. I like the first name contact practice. The activities, both at the home and in theatres, are really well thought out.

Thank you for the wonderful care my 93-year-old father received after his stay in hospital for a broken leg. Loveday is efficiently run and the staff are professional and caring. Physio staff were expert and compassionate and put him on the road to mobility in preparation for coming home. Highly recommended.

My husband needs care and we both needed a holiday! Loveday was the ideal venue to satisfy these needs together. I was able to go to exhibitions, theatres and films and not worry about my husband. Family who lives locally were able to visit and share in our exploration of the area. We both joined in exercise classes and listened to in-house afternoon concerts. The care and concern for our welfare was amazing. The overall atmosphere was friendly, calm, fun and very professional. All the staff seemed to enjoy their work and had time to interact with residents whilst going about their work. It takes great organisational skills and of course, a good staff-to-resident ratio to be able to take on wide-ranging and complex tasks and make them seem easy. At the end of our stay, we were sorry to leave our adopted family who had helped fill our days with love. Truly a five-star experience.

Before placing our loved one who was suffering from early-stage dementia into a care home, we visited many providers in and around the greater London area. Once we found Loveday, our search was over. There is simply no comparison to the quality of facilities and care that they have to offer. Our family member spent 4 years in Loveday's care, and we could not be more impressed and thankful for the treatment he received. The food is excellent, the facilities are top-notch, and the staff are all very kind and professional. They seem to have very low turnover with their staff, which is wonderful for the residents to have long-term consistency with their caretakers. We received regular updates from the staff, and they were also very accommodating to assist us with having video calls at any hour of the day or night, which was very comforting for us. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Loveday's services. Your loved one will be very well cared for here.

My husband is a member of Loveday Kensington, and he enjoys attending The Day Club about 2-3 days a week regularly. I feel blessed to have found Loveday Kensington in our local area and have had the wonderful opportunity for my husband to spend quality time there. During my thorough search for several day centers and social circles of dementia friendly, I happened to know about Loveday. Loveday Kensington is ideal and great for him as they offer a wide variety of activities not only during the week but also at the weekends. Through our wonderful experience with Loveday Kensington for the past 5 months, we have found all the staff, we have met are very kind, friendly, caring and attentive to each resident, member and their family. I would say that becoming a member of The Day Club is a great way to get to know Loveday better and explore their several care services for a long-term period. I am now planning to use their short stay service for my husband sometime soon.

It was therapeutic and very pleasant to be at Loveday the ambience and the staff care along with good food was much appreciated. My only problem was everyone went to bed early and I was left alone with the television. With best wishes to everyone.

With good reason Loveday is considered the crème de la crème of care homes. It is a very luxurious space with gorgeous rooms, entertainment (a particular member of staff is a gem!) and delicious food. More than that it is a very happy place with the most kind and caring staff who have a genuine rapport with the residents and family members. My 95-year-old mother has been there for over 18 months and I could not imagine her anywhere else. My brother and I drop in at various times of the day and evening and have always felt welcome. She is happy there and I go to sleep soundly at night knowing that she is being treated with kindness, respect and love.

Good service and reliable. Excellent food and kind and caring staff. My husband stayed for 3 nights after an operation and it provided a lot of peace of mind. Nothing was too much trouble, physio and podiatry were also arranged at short notice. Equally great service from these people.

I thought the building and environment were outstanding. As a patient recovering from an operation the care and physio support were very good indeed. An area to be improved is rooms to be designed with the type of patient in mind. Nursing was first rate and food quality was adequate.

I feel very fortunate to have found Loveday - I stayed with the team for care after surgery and I couldn't have asked for more. The team was polite and friendly, with amazing food and very tastefully decorated spaces. What I particularly liked was the transparency of care, while I was there for post-surgery care I was so impressed with the level of care other residents received. I wish there were facilities like this in Ireland.

The care at Loveday exceeded very high expectations. It is expensive and beautifully presented, but the care provided lived up to and exceeded what I could have hoped for. My wife entered the facility bedridden with a prognosis of continuing so for the rest of her life. By the time she left, she was walking with minimal help and doing her physio exercises and she was sitting in her chair all day. But most of all, her mental attitude changed form defeated and hopeless to determined and hopeful. It provided a really sound platform for her continued rehabilitation at home. These may sound like baby steps, but compared to the prognosis when she left hospital (after five months) they are great strides. To misquote: one small step, but a great leap for my wife.
