Individuals that have been diagnosed with dementia and are no longer able to live independently at home due to requiring specialist 24-hour care services. At Kenbrook Nursing Home in Wembley Park, we offer 24-hour dementia nursing care and nursing care to 51 residents. The home is spread over 2 floors and is served by a lift for those who struggle with stairs. MHA is dedicated to providing some of the highest quality care and support to older people across Great Britain - and we're proud that this is reflected in our independent care inspection reports. It includes all 11,500 registered care homes in the UK that cater exclusively or primarily for older people. There is no charge whatsoever to appear in it, and we welcome a photo and descriptive text to enhance the presentation of your home.
Frequently Asked Questions about Kenbrook
Staff were informed of changes occurring within the home through staff meetings and we saw that these meetings occurred monthly and were documented. Staff told us that they received up to date information and had an opportunity to share good practice and any concerns they had at these meetings. We found the premises were clean and tidy and there were no unpleasant odours. There was a record of essential inspections and maintenance carried out.
EAC sees itself, and this website, as one source of ‘housing options’ information and advice for older people and their families. But there are many other organisations providing valuable services, both locally and nationally. We spoke with five people using the service during this inspection, together with three of their friends and relatives. We spoke with care and nursing staff, and to the manager of the service. We looked at the activities timetable and saw activities such as exercise groups, religious services, flower arranging, and music therapy.
What people are saying about Kenbrook
With a few exceptions, accommodation in a care home cannot be bought or rented like retirement housing. Think of them more like full-board hotel accommodation with 24 hour care available. Those run by private operators more often focus on lifestyle, with help and care services discretely available to buy if or when required.
We ensure regular deep-cleaning of all areas and robust infection control measures in place at all times. The Home Services Directory on this website provides an opportunity to promote your services. Entries are completely free, and we’re happy to work with you to ensure your service are presented in a way you’re happy with. Our site offers information and guidance that we hope will be of help to you.
Types of Elderly Care*
The registered manager confirmed that these applications would be made. Some people in the home had complex needs and were therefore unable to provide us with feedback. We therefore spent time observing interaction between people and staff.
Care plans were person-centred, detailed and specific to each person and their needs. Care preferences were documented and staff we spoke with were aware of people’s likes and dislikes and preferred routines. People’s needs were regularly assessed to ensure the home was able to provide treatment and care appropriate to people’s individual needs. Staff received ongoing training and spoke positively about the training they received. Regular planned supervisions and appraisals ensured staff performance was monitored. All staff we spoke with told us they were well supported by management at the home and said that morale in the home was good.

All staff members have received dementia care training to ensure that they can provide an excellent level of care. Daily help, including personal care, is available on site and one or more meals are available daily in a dining room or restaurant. Additional facilities are also common – for example hairdressing salons, hobby rooms and gyms. Organised activities will focus on helping residents maintain their health and wellbeing. There was a management structure in place with a team of nurses, care staff, kitchen and domestic staff, deputy manager and the registered manager. Staff told us that the morale within the home was good and that staff worked well with one another.

If you simply want to move to a more suitable non-retirement home, and need help or advice with this, our EAC Advice service is here to help you. We saw that people were cared for in a clean environment and that they were protected from the risk of infection.
Friends and relatives told us that the staff were caring, skilled and experienced, and friendly. People using the service told us that they felt well cared for and safe from harm. There were suitable arrangements for the provision of food to ensure that people’s dietary needs were met. Food looked appetising and was freshly prepared and presented well. Details of special diets people required either as a result of a clinical need or a cultural preference were clearly documented. Staff we spoke with had an understanding of the principles of the Mental Capacity Act .
