A full continuum of care designed with you in mind.
At Kensington Place, we believe that everyone matters, and we want to do everything we can to simplify and enhance life. That includes helping each person get the most out of life every day, offering assistance when needed, and smoothing the transition from independent living to assisted living.
Independent living
Kensington Place’s independent living offers a carefree lifestyle where you are in control of your time and your schedule. Want to hear a concert? Learn to paint? Invite the grandchildren over for an afternoon snack? Maybe joining the group for an outing to a museum or special event sounds good. And don’t forget two delicious chef-designed meals are yours to enjoy. Days are yours to fill as you choose.
Perhaps the best part is all the opportunities you will have to socialize and engage with others, which is so important for healthy aging. You’re staying connected. You’re stimulating your brain by learning new hobbies, participating in group discussions, and sharing your stories with others. You’re reaping the benefits of an environment dedicated to your wellness.
No more worries about home maintenance, daily chores, or even driving yourself to a medical appointment and having to negotiate traffic and parking. It’s all handled for you, including scheduled transportation. You get to sit back and relax or turn things up a notch with a new fitness regimen or maybe even booking that trip to Paris you always imagined!
And your “home base” is a lovely apartment designed to fit your lifestyle that is larger than most senior apartments and includes important safety features that help you stay as independent as possible. You can enjoy every day knowing that if needs change, you can stay right there and receive the assistance you need. No moving boxes! That’s how aging in place should be.
Assisted living
Should you require an occasional helping hand, the continuum of care at Kensington Place includes assisted living services, which you can enjoy right in your apartment (no need to move to another wing of the building). Basically, you enjoy all the amenities of Kensington Place, only you also get the bonus of extra support when needed, whether it’s assistance with medication, bathing, dressing or grooming, bedtime preparation, and more. A nurse is on duty 24 hours a day and three home-cooked meals a day are yours to enjoy.
Feeling cared for and secure is a great feeling, and a big part of healthy aging. Knowing you are surrounded by friendly, professional staff offers great peace of mind. And good friends are all around!
Another feature that sets Kensington Place apart is how much input residents have in programming. If there’s an activity you would like added to the calendar, just speak up. Residents love how their opinions and ideas are respected and valued, and how Kensington Place is just the right size to not be lost or overlooked. Not too big or formal. Just the right atmosphere for a feeling of belonging and being at home.

As with all of Kensington Place, the goal is to help each resident feel at home, safe and respected for the individual they are. We never forget our commitment to serving each individual in our care with grace and honor their unique legacy not only now but in the years to come.
Respite Care
You might have a loved one who wants to see if senior living is right for them by scheduling a short stay. Or it can be a help when a caregiver needs a break. It also could help with the transition from assisted living to memory care. It’s good to know that residents in respite care may enjoy all the benefits available to all Kensington Place residents.
