Kensington Park Senior Living

The first two weeks have been wonderful. The staff has been terrific in helping mom to settle in and adapt to a huge change. She is happy, busy and engaged. The personalized attention and care is more than we could have hoped for.

There have been no deficiencies. They have been attentive, responsive, caring, and thoroughly professional. My mom has only been in there for a little over a month so my experience is somewhat limited, but thus far I have been very impressed with Kensington Park Senior Living and would highly recommend them.

First of all the staff was wonderful. Always helpful and friendly. They put up with very human behavior from their older clientele with good humor and kindness. The place was also super clean. We used to eat in their dining hall every week and we'd pass our fingers, jokingly, along the woodwork, and there was never any dust, anywhere. Also there were always fresh flowers. It was a whole lot more luxurious and comfortable than our own homes. The best part for my dad, as long as he could walk, was the path by the creek behind his building.

They take personal pride in you as a person - you’re not just a cog in the wheel. It’s not about them, it’s about the person coming there. I thought the food was excellent. I was able to partake in at least two lunches. It’ was individually prepared – not a cafeteria style, stick it on a plate and that’s what you get. It didn’t come in a plastic container. You fell feel like you’re at a fine restaurant. The option for laundry is available. I love the whole setting. The setting is gorgeous. My mom is majorly alert. They are over cautious to protect for over medication. They listen to us. They weren’t set in their ways. I’m glad they worked with us rather than just enforcing rules.

I had helped an older friend find assisted living after a fall followed by nursing home rehab. We looked at Kensington Park initially because of its location, but a visit, tour, and interviews with staff made it clear that this was what we were looking for. My friend has been there for two weeks now, and we could not be more pleased. Her physical and mental condition have markedly improved in this short time, even without the further physical therapy which is planned. This facility has exceeded our high expectations in every way. The staff, from administration to hands-on caregivers, are unfailingly professional, helpful, friendly, and kind. The residents and staff are welcoming and inclusive, and the whole atmosphere is warm and cheerful, with plenty of socialization opportunities, and not unimportantly, good food as well. Speaking as the non-resident friend, I especially appreciated that the staff expressed concern for me as well in what was a stressful time, and tried to take as much worry and work from me as they could. As the process of getting my friend settled went on, people there were just as helpful as they could be, and I am most grateful to them.

Loved the atmosphere and management. Goes to the top of my list.

This is a very nice looking place, I'd rate it higher than 5 for cleanliness if I could! It's also got very nice activities, a wide variety of things to do all throughout the day. The staff to resident ratio is higher than other places we've seen, and their response time is good. One issue that we've had is that a majority of the care staff are not native English speakers, which can lead to difficulties in communication and a few cultural misunderstandings. They could also use some training on a few basic things like using a shoe horn, and how to properly care for dentures. Things that may have been overlooked in their more specialized care training.

Beautiful community. Margaret Newman and Courtney were very professional and thorough! The residents were up and participating in activities. The prices were steeper than Mom's budget at almost $7,000/month for a shared apartment. The studio was $8200. I was impressed with this community and think Mom would be happiest there of all the places I have toured but the prices are a dealbreaker. I expressed this to Margaret, she will talk with the Exec Dir and get back to me tomorrow.

We visited Kensington Park and it was perfect. The staff was friendly and the community was very clean and well maintained. Overall it was a great community.

Nice studio apt., close to where I work, $2500 entrance fee, 2 meals, weekly housekeeping

Toured. My favorite place and closest to my home. While a good fit for me, not necessarily for them. Also, price a little high with no subsidies. Will look at lower priced options.

Very good discussion and tour. Facility appears very warnm and comfortable. Within the financial range. Requested a second tour. Only concern, not equipped to handle bed ridden patients.

While the apts and grounds are beautiful, I think we all felt the lack of activity and people. Almost too reclusive.
