Kew House is an excellent care home. The staff care is first class. My mother is very content in the home. She mixes well with the other residents.
Thank you very much for taking the time and leaving a review surrounding the care of your Mother since she arrived into our care in November 2025. Its is a real pleasure take care of your Mum. I shall share your thoughts with the entire team at Kew House
My family and I much appreciate all the care and attention that all the carers and staff in Cedar Ward give to Penny. Unlike her previous home she really seems to enjoy communicating with everybody and certainly much looks forward to all the meals she has.
A special thank-you is due to Liz for all the assistance and support she gave to our family when went through the difficult time of moving Penny to Kew.
Your kind words surrounding the care of Penny since her arrival into our care at Kew House is very much appreciated. We shall share this review with our entire team.
The biggest advantage of making the decision to move my mother to Kew is that I no longer worry about her; I know that she is safe and being well looked after.
It is a pleasure taking care of your Mother and being able to support with the process in the period prior to her move to Kew and then beyond since her arrival. We shall share your thoughts with the entire team at Kew
It's never easy making a decision to move someone out of their familiar home into a new environment and with the challenges of dementia it's so much harder.
Liz and the team looked after me as much as they looked after Jill. The initial move was tough and they helped me with the challenges and managed my expectations through the very difficult first 3 months. Jill took a while to settle and make friends. She missed her home and her dog and was distressed and confused.
The team at Kew are kind and resilient and patient... and now it is a whole different situation. Jill has good food, medical care, activities and a social life, it is a pleasure to visit her (if she isn't too busy to see me)!
I get regular calls and advice. Jill and I cannot thank you all enough.
Thank you so much for taking the time to add a review surrounding the care of your Cousin since her arrival to Kew back in November 2025. We shall share your thoughts with the entire team at Kew
He is so much happier, he can socialise or not as he chooses, 3 course dining with wine, laundry done within 24 hours, his medications looked after, no more worrying about upkeep of his house or dealing with bills etc.
He's happy and safe, couldn't asked for anything more
Your kind words surrounding Kew is very much appreciated. It is a complete pleasure taking care of your Dad...he lights up any room that he walks into. We shall share your comments with our entire team
The team at Kew House were fantastic from start to finish. Liz built a strong relationship with me, as I visited potential places to care for my elderly mother - she (Liz) was a joy to partner with throughout. My mother received excellent care on both the Oak (ground) floor and the Maple nursing (second) floor. The rooms she stayed in were spacious, bright, clean and bright, as were the communal areas throughout Kew House. More importantly the staff were kind, professional and caring, supporting my mother (who had limited mobility and major hearing challenges). The staff in the dining rooms were particularly patient in offering her all different types of food and drinks. Whenever her family visited, the team could not do enough for us. I did a lot of research before choosing Kew House and everything I had heard was confirmed - it is an excellent care and nursing home.
Thank you so much for taking the time to add such a heartfelt review surrounding the care our team provided to your Mother during her time at Kew House. We shall pass on your kind words to the entire team
Robert, who has vascular dementia and Altheimers, has settled in better than we could have hoped. He is much happier than he latterly was in his own home. He responds well to the quiet, peaceful, ordered surroundings. He likes all the staff, the food and the entertainments and indeed the other residents on his floor - CEDAR. He likes the small dining rooms - that are reminisent of a home kitchen in many ways and the dining room is calm and not overwhelming with too much noise or activity. So far we feel very fortunate that we found Kew House.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review surrounding the care of your Husband since his arrival into the care of Kew House last year. We shall share your kind words with the entire team at Kew.
The move from a domestic one-to-one care regime into a Care Home environment must be expected to produce certain challenges.
It is very early days for my wife at Kew House Wimbledon, but so far I have been impressed by the friendliness and courtesy of all staff with whom I have made contact and the levels of care that I have observed to date. The facilities are excellent and the CQC Excellence rating very reassuring.
I am confident that, over time, my wife will adapt well to life at KH. Her appetite remains strong and sleep patterns seem good.
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review surrounding the care of your Wife since her arrival into our care during early January. Your kind words words will be shared with the entire team. Best Wishes. Team Kew
We are incredibly grateful to the team at Kew for the care and support shown to our family. My mum was able to celebrate her 90th birthday surrounded by love, and that would not have been possible without the dedication of the staff here. I travelled from Australia to be part of the celebration, and seeing the warmth, professionalism, and genuine kindness shown to her meant the world to me and our entire family. The staff created a beautiful atmosphere, provided the venue, decorations and food all of which made the day truly special. As a family, we are eternally thankful for everything you do. Our mum is in good hands.
Your kind words are very much appreciated and we shall pass on your comments to the entire team at Kew House. It was a pleasure to be able to support with ensuring that your Mums milestone birthday event was so memorable
My husband has received good care and KH has pulled in good local services. His pills have been changed through the advice. Of the local psychiatric nurse and the District nurse. He should however not have a pressure sore.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're pleased to hear that you're happy with the care provided, and we're proud of how our team has worked closely with local healthcare professionals to support your husband's needs.
While your husband is at risk...
Outings are also arranged- Kew gardens light trail before xmas, Wimbledon xmas market, Remembrance day service at Wimbledon Memorial etc.
Residents are treated with dignity and given the opportunity to live their best life possible.
Your kinds words surrounding the care of your loved one whilst in the care of Kew House is very much appreciated. We shall share your review with the entire team
Hotel aspects of this home are excellent. But attention to the important matters of care are often lacking eg helping to use TV to enjoy favourite programmes. Also communications between staff often poor. Friends are too often filling the gaps where the home is failing.
Were really pleased to hear that youre happy with the food, the cleanliness of the home, and the facilities available.
Our team takes great pride in providing a welcoming and caring environment for residents and their visitors,...
and cared for. As a resident receiving 24 hour nursing care - he was encouraged when he could to take part in some of the large variety of Activities thoughtfully provided in the Home. Lovely summer flowers and beautiful surroundings, good food and compassionate care
one felt confident that he was experiencing the here the best of care.
Your kind words are very welcome and we shall share these with the entire team at Kew House. It has been an absolute pleasure taking care of your precious Husband
Dad's approach to dressing was sometime affected by his dementia. While we encouraged him to let staff assist him, they also fed back his wish to be independent. To my mind this showed there was space in the approach to people to honour their wish for dignity through independence, even if this may have looked odd to visitors or family.
The separate space to dine with family is also a strong point. To be in a quiet environment where Dad could clearly hear & be part of conversations were crucial for a happy visit for all. The staff serving clearly remembered family and it was always a pleasure to see them & enjoy the good food.
Thank you so much for taking the time to add your thoughts surrounding the care provided to your Dad over the last 3 years. It has been an absolute pleasure taking care of your true gent of a man..it has been delight knowing him. Best wishes from Team Kew
The care on Cedar Ward for the final days of my friend, who suffered from dementia, was exemplary. It could not have been more supportive, effective and compassionate. The staff were simply wonderful and we're immensely grateful to them all.
We shall pass your comments onto the entire team
Mum says she would hate to be without Kew House. Sometimes she says she doesn't want to be here and wants to go home. Kew House deserves its CQC grading of 'outstanding'/ Mum enjoys sitting in the garden spaces with their many flowers outside of Kew House. Mum enjoys the excellent food at Kew House and takes full advantage of the inclusive hairdressing and hand and face massage services. She enjoyed a recent outing to Kew Gardens. The location of Kew House in an urban setting means she can be taken out shopping and to cafes, which she has enjoyed throughout her life.
Thank you for taking the time to add your positive comments surrounding Kew House and the care provided. We shall share your kind words to our team
Dad is very settled at Kew House. He moved there after a stressful admission to hospital and Liz made the transition smooth and stress free. He is now eating well and being well cared for. Meals are 3 course nutritious and tasty. He also enjoys his regular haircuts, manicures and pedicures. He enjoys going to the cafe to read the paper daily and there is a good space outside in the garden to have a coffee when the weather is nice. All the staff treat my dad like he is a member of their family, with respect, dignity and positivity. He also recently enjoyed a day trip to Brighton organised by Kew House. It is reassuring to be able to go about my day knowing he is well looked after. Thanks to all the staff there. I know how hard you are all working to make Kew House special.
Your kind words surrounding the care of your Dad since his arrival to Kew House in July are very much appreciated. We shall share your positive comments with the entire team
My uncle moved into Kew House three months ago, and the experience has been overwhelmingly positive. At 91 years of age, this was a significant change for him, but the staff made the transition smooth and reassuring. They have been consistently kind, attentive, and understanding of his individual needs, treating him with dignity and respect at every stage. The periodic reviews and genuine warmth shown by the Team has given us great confidence and peace of mind. It is clear that the staff truly care for their residents, and we are very grateful for the compassionate environment they provide.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a heartfelt review surrounding the care being provided to your Uncle since his arrival to Kew House in July. We shall share your kind words with the entire team.
A lovely care home with professional and attentive and friendly staff. Very nice atmosphere during all my visits thus far. I feel reassured that my dear brother with dementia is clearly settling in to a warm and supportive and caring place.
Many thanks for your very kind words surrounding the care our Team at Kew House provide to your Brother. We shall share your comments with Team Kew
enormously privileged to have my mum there.
It has been a pleasure supporting your Mum with her journey. Your kind words are appreciated and we shall certainly pass on your review to our entire team at Kew.

Meet the Team (7)

I have been working in the care home sector since 2014 and have a passion for elderly care. Previous to working in care homes, I completed a neuroscience rotation in a large NHS organisation as a registered nurse.
My passion and goal are to ensure everyone receives care that is tailored to their individual needs.
I aspire to make everyone’s day a little bit brighter, and that includes my residents at Kew House Care Home in Wimbledon, their relatives and the team that I work with.

Hi, My name is Priscilla and I am the Deputy Manager of Kew House
I have been a nurse for over 3 decades, I have practised in general nursing and other special care units.
I have a vested interest in dementia and palliative care Dementia care settings with palliative care.
I joined Hallmark Care in 2019 and a year later had the privilege of being chosen as the end-of-life care champion for Kew House.
A role that offers me an opportunity to be involved with residents and their loved ones during their final years, months, weeks and days of their lives and to ensure that their final wishes are met.
I look forward to meeting you all.

I have been working in Kew House for over four years now starting as a carer and then progressing to a senior carer. Working as a senior carer helped me to understand the dementia community further. This led to me having better knowledge within my role to give the person-centred care that the residents require. It’s a privilege to work alongside team members who care have good knowledge and always support one another.

After about 15 years in the financial sector, i decided to return to my passion which was interior decoration.
I worked in a number of roles in the hospitality industry and joined Hallmark, Kew House, in June 2012 as the Head Housekeeper.
Whilst in Kew House, I continued my education and completed my Diploma in Hospitality Management and then my Degree in BSc International Hospitality and Tourism Management.
I was promoted into the role of Hospitality Services Manager three (3) years ago and have enjoyed every experience throughout my journey and would always ensure that the residents, team and anyone who comes into the home, will have the best experience as promised in our Hallmark Charter.

I joined the Hallmark care home in Wimbledon in March 2023 as the Customer Relationship Manager. Prior to this, I spent 15 years working in hospitality and events management.
My role at Kew House is to help and guide residents and their families from their first initial enquiry surrounding their search for the right care home setting, right through until the resident joins Kew. Crucially, my help continues as I offer support along with the rest of our team for those first few early weeks. I love what I do, and I am glad to come to work every day with this outstanding team.

Hi, my name is Tomasz and I’m Maintenance Manager at Kew House. My adventure with Hallmark Family started in June 2012 at Ty Enfys in Cardiff, where I was working as a Kitchen Assistant and Maintenance Assistant. I acquired a lot of professional experience and I made a cordial relationships with Residents. I enjoyed my almost 2 years over there and I got lots of amazing memories about Ty Enfys Family.
In 2015 I have been promoted and I took charge of maintenance department at Kew House in Wimbledon, London. I will never forget the warm atmosphere I’ve met here on arrival.
I’m confident enough to say that Kew House IS MY FAMILY.
I’m enjoying the fact I’m able to help people and have a positive influence on their lives. It is a brilliant feeling and I JUST LOVE IT

Providing meaningful, enjoyable and stimulating activities, social engagement, promoting independence and supporting lifestyle needs.
Melita has been at Kew for 10 years, starting as a volunteer and working up to Lifestyle Lead
