A different approach to later living
A private residence bringing together exceptional hospitality, world-class amenities and medical expertise, with the freedom, confidence and support to live exceptionally well.
56 private residences in Chelsea
Thoughtfully appointed one and two-bedroom lateral residences, combining the privacy and individuality of your own home with all that Auriens has to offer.
Exceptional hospitality, every day
A dedicated team takes care of the details, from a 24-hour concierge and housekeeping to dining, entertaining and the everyday running of your home.
Medical expertise, seamlessly integrated
Draycott Nursing & Care provides medical-led expertise on site, offering continuity and confidence should your needs ever change.
Five star amenities under one roof
Private dining, cinema, pool, spa, gym, salon and inviting shared spaces bring an exceptional breadth of facilities into everyday life.
At the heart of Chelsea
Set on Dovehouse Street, favourite restaurants, galleries, shops, parks and cultural landmarks are all within easy reach, an extraordinary neighbourhood, with so much within just 0.8 miles.
The art of living well
A philosophy built around a simple idea: that later life should offer more, not less – more possibility, connection, stimulation and confidence in what lies ahead.
Nothing about you needs to change
Your home should still feel unmistakably yours. Each residence is private and individual, shaped by your taste and filled with the furniture, art and possessions that tell your story. Moving home does not mean leaving behind the things that make it feel like home.
More of what you love
Start the day with the papers in the garden or a strength session with your personal trainer. Swim before breakfast, meet friends for lunch or take an afternoon walk through Chelsea. At Auriens, the everyday has its own rhythm – active, sociable and spontaneous, with plenty happening when you want it and no expectation when you don’t.
Auriens is so very special – I don’t think there’s anything else like it. I can’t speak highly enough about it.

It’s often what you don’t notice that matters most
Invisible Hands is the network of people, expertise and thoughtful details working quietly behind the scenes at Auriens. From hospitality and housekeeping to wellbeing and healthcare, everything connects – anticipating preferences, resolving practicalities and responding when something changes, often before it ever needs to become a concern.

Physical wellbeing, quietly supported
From everyday movement and wellbeing to the thoughtful details that help residents feel their best, physical wellbeing is supported in ways that feel natural, personal and unobtrusive.

Life continuing, uninterrupted
Support and independence need not be opposites. It is about knowing what someone still wants to do, and what they no longer want to spend time doing.

Vitality, thoughtfully nourished
Nutrition is a foundational pillar of our holistic approach to active ageing and longevity, with each resident’s needs and preferences considered individually.

Passions shared in good company
Community does not have to mean giving up your independence. It can simply mean having the opportunity to share the things you enjoy with others.
There is nowhere quite like it
The difference is found in what Auriens brings together. Exceptionally proportioned homes, remarkable materials and finishes, intelligent design developed with the Helen Hamlyn Centre at the Royal College of Art, five-star amenities, exceptional hospitality and specialist healthcare from Draycott Nursing & Care – all within one highly considered residential experience.

The questions that matter
Behind every decision to move later in life sits a quieter set of questions: about identity, independence, belonging, reassurance and the life someone hopes to continue living. The Questions That Matter brings together informed perspectives to help prospective residents and families explore those questions thoughtfully, privately and without pressure.
Can support strengthen independence?
Can support strengthen independence?
Accepting support can feel like the beginning of giving something up. But what if the right support does the opposite, quietly removing the demands that limit freedom, while leaving you firmly in control of how you live?
How do I move without leaving my life behind?

A move can feel like a line drawn between one life and another. But what if the things that matter most simply came with you?
What does community mean when privacy still matters?
![Paulene Stone at Auriens]()
For anyone accustomed to living independently, the idea of ‘community’ can raise as many questions as it answers. The reality can be far more individual.
What is the difference between later living, assisted living and care?
![Guest chatting with concierge Auriens Chelsea]()
The choices for later life have never been broader, yet the language surrounding them remains confusing. Understanding the differences can transform how you think about what comes next.
