I’m amazed by Kensington Park. For reference, this review is for Groves (memory care).<br><br>We used to have my grandmother in Brightview Woodmont, but when it became Modena Reserve, the quality and care decreased immediately. We moved her here, where she’s so much happier. The staff are amazing, and truly friendly, and the grounds are incredible.<br><br>The building is stunning. I always think of Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort when I see it. There’s a beautiful garden outside. There’s a view of the middle school track, which, at least for my grandmother, who loves kids, is amazing. There’s a beautiful wrap-around porch where activities take place.<br><br>And for activities- at any one time, you’ll see people relaxing in the TV room, lobby, and drinks area, out walking the grounds with staff, exercising or reading in the sunroom, napping on the sofas, or sitting with staff or music therapists on the porch or gardens. There’s always guitarists outside, pianists at the grand piano, or other music around. There’s even a summer concert series in the parking lot with local bands!<br><br>The security is also good. There’s a concierge, and nobody can come in, or importantly, out, without a keycard being scanned. At Modena, she managed to escape and get down the block before any one even noticed she was gone. Here, an alarm sounds if anyone even tries to open the exterior doors without a keycard. You have to sign in and scan your temperature to enter.<br><br>The food is good. It’s Sysco, but it’s prepared well, there’s two food options each day so they have some choice, but not too much to be confusing, and their soups/salads are always surprisingly good and hearty.<br><br>And of course, no review of KP would be complete without mentioning Fidel, the house dog. An adorable little resident-owned dog that runs around the Groves building loving on everyone. All the residents, staff, and guests seem to adore him. He’s intrusive in activities, but in the best way. The staff keeps an eye on him and makes sure he isn’t fed anything dangerous and that he’s treated well.<br><br>And the price is steep- $15k a month- but it’s so worth it to make my grandma so happy.<br><br>Kensington is an amazing place. Beautiful, great activities, live music, and perfect for both residents and family/friends. My grandmother is so happy there, and I’m so glad we moved her over.
