I’ve meant to write this review for a while. While we ultimately did not choose The Kensington for my dad, i was nothing but touched by the staff here when we were considering placement. They (Especially Anne) were caring, concerned and patient as we dealt with an ever worsening situation with my father that threw us some curveballs. Unlike some other places they seemed to be genuinely interested in helping and not necessarily in making a sale. And the facility is amazing! It is worth a visit if you are considering assisted living and memory care in the area.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about The Kensington Bethesda. The facility itself is gorgeous, vibrant, and always clean, but it's the people who make it extraordinary. The staff is attentive, kind, and truly personally invested in the well-being of the residents. Kudos to the therapy staff as well! Their patience and dedication to helping residents maintain their strength, mobility, and independence are unmatched.

Jill the rehab director/speech therapist needs to learn mannerism. She rudely and unprofessionally doesn't return calls, which I brought to her attention several times but she brushed it off and continues to deliberately not return calls...so disrespectful and nasty of her!!!
