Ellesmere House is a strikingly modern, purpose-built care home located in the heart of Chelsea. The team provides nursing and residential care for older people, including those with physical disabilities or who are living with dementia.

Outside are two secure sensory gardens with lawns and an area where residents can grow flowers and plants of their own choice.

The team will get to know your loved one so they can create personalised care and lifestyle plans, suited to each individual’s needs.

From the manager

“I first joined Care UK as the goals and visions of the company aligned well with my personal beliefs and aspirations. The team are well taken care of, and there is true dedication from all the team and strong leadership from top to bottom. Being offered a job as a Home Manager has been the biggest highlight of my career so far. When I joined the company as a registered nurse six years ago, I never dreamt I would one day lead my own team. Each day I enjoy feeling confident that all the needs of the people we are trusted to care for are met, they are safe, and they are well looked after. It gives me great personal satisfaction. I am proud that I have carried the team with me in fulfilling the vision of the company. Having among the highest staff retention rates in the region and company is also a highlight for me. To see residents and relatives choose us daily. To see residents dignified and with their wishes met at their end of life, as evidenced by reviews, is quite humbling.”
