We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Wilsmere House care team for the exceptional care they have given to our mother. Knowing she is alone here in London has always been difficult for us, but from the very beginning, their kindness and dedication have brought us comfort and peace of mind. During our two-week visit, we witnessed firsthand the genuine care and attention they provided everyday. We are specially touched by the effort they made to decorate her room with our family photos, it truly made her feel home and connected to us. We also deeply appreciate the warm hospitality extended to us during our stay, including the lovely meals they prepared. One of the most memorable moments was visiting the garden where our mother spends happily her time with us. Hearing the planned birthday party for her while we are here means so much to us. Although it is hard to leave her again, we do so with lighter hearts. knowing she is in such caring and compassionate hands. Thank you for everything.

The care in Kenton Unit is the best. My friend is looked after, and every time I come, they offer me a nice cup of tea. My friend is receiving very good care.

The facilities could do with improvements including bedrooms as they are old and dated however this is irrelevant when considering the excellent specialist and person centred care our friend is provided day in and day out .

Staff are available, 24 hours a day, when I press a bell, staff attends me very quickly. Staff provides all support to me when needed. Menu is offered to me, chef is meeting with me and preparing the meal the way I like. Staff are kind, polite, and check on my wellbeing. They gave me my medication...
When they do laundry, they bring it neat, clean and tidy and put in a hanger in a cupboard. I sincerely hope and wish other people who need the care to be in Wilsmere house as its best care. I recommended 10 out 10 for hospitality and care. The management is so good they listen to every query and make changes.

I spent two weeks at Wilsmere House rehabilitating after a partial knee replacement. I could not return home after surgery because I live alone and my house has a lot of stairs. During my stay at Wilsmere, everything was taken care of very professionally and I was treated with an enormous amount of genuine kindness by everybody. I was therefore able to fully concentrate on my physio exercises and my recovery was much quicker than expected. My other knee replacement is due in several months and I am looking forward to another two-week stay at the Wilsmere.
Thank you so much for your kind review. We are looking forward to support you with recovery in a couple of months.
My brother is receiving exceptional care in the Brookshill Unit. Every single member of staff I have met have been very caring and supportive. They made us feel extremely welcome from the moment we first came to look around. The first person I met was the manager who greeted us with a smile and...
Nothing is too much trouble and they go above and beyond to help. My brother is terminally ill and it gives us great comfort knowing how well he is treated and cared for.
I can't fully put into words what a difference the care they give makes to him on a daily basis. The surroundings are lovely and feel like home.
It's always a lovely atmosphere when you come in and staff always seem happy to see you and have a chat. Couldn't ask for anything better.
Dear Tara, thank you for your review and for your kind words. At Wilsmere House we are trying to provide our residents with the best quality of care and to make sure they are treated with dignity and respect. Thank you for your review!
A wonderful place to be in, staff are wonderful to be with, very pleasant, happy to work with. My hubby is very happy and comfortable, he is enjoying his life.

- Very warm and welcoming. Well-decorated and spotlessly clean.
- Staff seem to have a real spring in their step, happy and can't do enough to help.
- Nursing staff and carers are excellent.
- Admin/Reception Manager was my first point of contact when I emailed in. She created a very favourable first impression and is solution-oriented.
- Positive culture must come from Leadership and Management teams.
Hands-down the best care home I have visited.

We could not thank her enough for her work with my father. Although my father cannot communicate, we have noticed he is relaxed when the nurse does his oral care.
Huge shout out to another member of staff, in particular, too - she is absolutely brilliant.

I cannot praise all the staff in Kenton Ward, Wilsmere House enough. They have looked after my brother for many, many years and nothing is too much for them. The ward manager is excellent (as are all the staff) and her communication skills are fantastic. She goes the extra mile to answer my...
I have had dealings with another care home regarding another family member. On the face of it appeared to be a 5-star hotel however when it came to comparing the staff it was no contest. At the end of the day, it is all about the care and compassion of the staff and the staff in Wilsmere House have that in abundance. I should also mention the staff in the reception, the office support, and the senior management team. They have always been helpful and very professional and again are a credit to the organisation.

The carers are always willing to help if further assistance is required. Friendly and welcoming although I believe they do not have the time to properly ensure each resident is comfortable every minute. Hence, they would benefit with additional staff.

Hello, my name is Jibin and I am the Head Chef here at Wilsmere House. It’s been more than 15 years since I embraced the art of flavour. I had the opportunity to work with great Chefs around the world and acquired many skills and knowledge. Some of the establishments I worked at are 5-star Hotels, Fine Dining Restaurants and Luxury Senior Living Homes. I’m a very inspirational, detail-oriented, Disciplined and Creative Chef. I always try to create a positive environment in and around my Kitchen. I pride myself on preparing high-quality food and what makes me very happy is to see our residents enjoy the dishes that my team and I create.
Our hospitality team are committed to providing seasonal home-cooked menus offering choice, nutrition and quality- including exciting menus to specific individual dietary needs and all appetites. We celebrate every one of our resident’s Birthday and my Kitchen team prepare homemade decorated cakes for their Birthday. The beautiful warm smile that our residents give when we present the Birthday cake is our greatest inspiration.
The food we produce is hugely important to our residents which is why it is absolutely imperative that we always get their feedback and continuously meet the needs and nutritional quota of every single resident who chooses to make Wilsmere House their home.

Matthew joined Wilsmere House in 2023 as our Head of Maintenance. Matthew comes with years of experience working in care homes and has been working very hard with upgrading our facilities.

My name is Raluca and I’m a Senior Physiotherapist with over 15 years of experience, 10 of which I’ve proudly dedicated to Barchester. With a BSc and MSc in Physiotherapy, and a background in both hospital and care settings, I’ve found my true calling here—where care is personal, continuous, and deeply meaningful.I’ve worked with a wide range of neurological conditions, including stroke, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, brain injury, etc. Personally, brain fascinates me—it challenges and inspires me every day! My passion for helping people regain independence is grounded not just in clinical expertise, but in compassion, teamwork, and connection.
I’m grateful to Barchester for supporting my growth, including through their Team Leadership Programme, which strengthened my ability to lead with empathy and purpose. Their values truly align with my own—placing people first, working together, and striving for excellence.
I live by the principle: ‘Love and do what you want.’ As a paradox, true love for what you do means acting with integrity, always doing what’s best without any expectations—not just for yourself, but for the people around you. In a team-driven environment like ours, that’s what makes the difference!
