We have been very happy since our brother moved into Kensington Place. Everyone has been so helpful and our worries about a rocky transition have been soothed. We meet new people each time we visit and the one constant has been that everyone seems friendly and happy to be there. I don’t remember everyone’s names specifically as we were busy getting our brother moved in and set up. The 3 gentlemen with the Maintenance team helped with furniture delivery and putting it together and were so happy and helpful. The ladies we spoke with during meal times have been very cute with my brother and I can already see they are paying attention to his preferences. Brandy is one of the ladies that stands out from the restaurant service team, but every experience has been positive. Everytime I share an elevator with a resident or part of the staff, there is a pleasant exchange. I have been most pleasantly surprised by the activities and enrichment opportunities happening all around the building. There are events and activities available all the time and all of them seem to have large participation so we have loved that.
