Kent House offers first-class care for residents over 65 in a quiet residential cul-de-sac in Harrow Weald, Middlesex. Each resident enjoys unique, personalised care built around them and designed to make their stay with us as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible.

To us, each resident is an individual. Each has his or her own life story, likes, dislikes, and way of living. All of our residents enjoy their own care plan tailored specifically for them. This allows us to build their care around their preferences, lifestyles, and routines. It’s all part of our philosophy to see the person for who they are, not masked by age or condition. Everything we do is driven by this genuinely caring, person-centred approach.

Visit the home, and you’ll find a huge range of facilities on offer, including hairdressing, chiropody, dental/eye care, and a host of social activities to keep our residents busy.

Of course, the best way to see the superb care and wonderful facilities we offer is to visit for yourself, meet our care team, and see why we believe Kent House Care Home in North London is uniquely placed to deliver graceful, caring living.

Respite Care Yes

Autumna has invited care providers to evidence the infection control measures they are carrying out, above and beyond those laid out by the government, in order to keep residents, staff and visitors safe.

What we're doing to keep residents & visitors safe

Gold Care Homes remains committed to ensuring all of our residents, loved ones, and hardworking members of staff are protected against the COVID-19 pandemic. All Gold Care Homes’ homes completed their second round of vaccinations. Our care homes have now begun the process of offering the booster vaccine to all residents.

The legislation makes vaccination mandatory for anyone who works in a care home, whatever their role. All care home residents will now be required to nominate up to 3 visitors who can enter the care home for regular visits. Visits must still be pre-booked, and visitors must test negative for COVID-19 at the start of the visit.

Infection Control Initiatives in place
safe-tick Independent Assessments We have been independently assessed in our approach to infection control.
safe-tick Infection Control Training Our staff are trained to use measures which prevent and control infections.
safe-tick Infection Screening We are using technology to screen for infections & monitor symptoms.
safe-tick Regulatory Assessment We have been assessed by the care regulator in our approach to infection control.
safe-tick Virus Testing We are testing for viral infection when symptoms present within our care setting.
Safe Visiting Space
safe-tick We have a safe visiting space
Connectivity for resident testing, monitoring & communications

Infection control and the safety of both residents and staff often requires quarantine measures and the isolation of care home residents. To test, monitor and allow residents to communicate with relatives, the prevalence of room-level connectivity within the home is becoming increasingly relevant.

    Activities Are So Important

    Our Activities Coordinators at Kent House play a fundamental part in delivering our mission of enhancing the lives of our residents by creating a fun and varied programme for everyone to participate in.

    Our range of activities is a great source of fun and laughter, and it really helps each resident live life to the full. At Kent House, we believe independent activity, hobbies, and day-to-day chores boost self-confidence. By taking the time to understand each resident's capabilities, we can build a personalised activity plan.

    We aim to create a programme that encourages as much interaction and enjoyment as possible. As you’d expect, most activities are indoors. However, we make the most of our lovely outdoor patio areas and landscaped gardens when the weather permits. When our residents feel adventurous, we also plan nationwide trips to popular landmarks!
