I cannot say enough wonderful things about this assisted living and memory care community. The staff truly go above and beyond every day to provide compassionate, personalized care to each resident. Their kindness, patience, and dedication create a warm and welcoming environment that feels like family. The residents are friendly, engaged, and clearly enjoy being part of such a caring community. There is a strong sense of connection and belonging throughout the facility, which makes it a truly special place. The maintenance team also deserves recognition for their outstanding work. The building is always clean, safe, and well-maintained, and any concerns are addressed promptly. Overall, the Kensington excels in every aspect of care and service. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a compassionate, well-run assisted living and memory care facility for their loved one.

We moved my grandma into the Kensington recently and it was a wonderful experience! Anyone that has had to make the decision to have a loved one move into a care facility knows how stressful it can be to find a good place that will give exceptional care, and treat them with the respect and support they need to make such a big transition happen in their life, and the Kensington has done just that! Her first day arriving they had a cute welcome basket put together with her favorite snacks and drinks which was very thoughtful of them. Not only was the facility clean and the staff very welcoming, but my grandma has settled right in and we are very happy with the care she’s receiving. There’s many activities for her to do both in and outside of the facility with them providing trips to different stores and restaurants. I would highly recommend the Kensington to anyone that is looking for a great place that will provide the support their loved one needs!

We recently toured this community for our dad and were very impressed. The environment was clean, welcoming, and felt like home. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of our questions. It truly feels like a place where residents are cared for with compassion and respect. We can’t wait to have dad be apart of the Kensington community.
