Kensington Park is a special place and will forever hold a part of my heart. For the close to two years my parents lived at KP, the KP team not only took such loving care of my mom (who was in late stage dementia when she moved in), but provided grace and patience in supporting my dad (who lived in the Highlands during this time period) while providing extensive emotional support to me and my other family members.

Dementia is a difficult disease and the KP staff across the board— from to Mary, Christina and the other administrators; every single caregiver-too many to name, to Jamie and her nursing team, to chef Morissa and her team; to the housekeeping and security teams) were angels- amazing, patient, kind. They made one of the most difficult time periods in our, and my parents lives, as easy as possible. The weekend my mom passed, my siblings and cousins came to town, and seven of us were by her bedside in the place she considered her home when she peacefully took her last breath. I don’t know any other place that gives this much support and love. And sadly, with many of our friends in similar situations with loved ones needing extra care for physical and cognitive conditions, we have seen quite a few terrible places- places where the staff doesn’t know the names of the residents, where residents eat and stay in their rooms instead of spending time with others, where the environment feels sterile and the place smells funny, and staff does not pay attention when a resident is asking a question.

We picked KP for memory care, but the highlands community is also a great place. community members are friendly and fun to talk to, and have such interesting stories and backgrounds.

Is everything perfect at KP? of course not. Life isn’t perfect; each one is has our own tastes and preferences. And if your loved one has dementia or other cognitive concerns; nothing will take that decline away. But I can safely say that without Kensington Park the last few years would have been much harder, and my mom’s passing would likely have been more frought and filled with anger.

One last note- I spent a lot of time with my mom when she lived in KP and saw firsthand that the KP team treats all residents with respect, dignity, and love. This is in stark contrast to other senior care communities where the “love” comes out only when a family member is around their resident. ultimately, KP may not be the right fit for every person, but for my family, KP was a godsend, and I am so thankful a neighbor recommended the community to us.

Kensington Park offers a wide range of services from independent living, assisted living, and memory care. Residents are very well cared for. Team members are competent and display cooperative, positive attitudes. Family members are considered part of the team and their opinions are valued. In essence, KP is a welcoming place.

The Community is beautifully decorated for the Christmas season. I’m welcomed by the concierge . Employees welcome me and they don’t even know me so I feel welcomed. The residents are eager to get where they want to go with a certain enthusiasm and a smile on their faces. They have certain pals to sit with in the Dining room. The common areas are open and roomy for a crowd. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and conducive to taking a walk. Overall a beautiful welcoming community.

The staff at Kensington Park are so loving and kind. The residents had blankets over their laps (it’s freezing today!!) to stay warm, and a sweet little dog was sending me off with a happy tail as I left. 😊

I really enjoyed visiting Kensington Park for the first time. It’s a lovely, clean place with warm and friendly staff and it appears to be a tight knit community. The apartments are adequately sized and have a nice layout. The campus’ grounds are beautiful with lots of outdoor spaces for residents and a safe neighborhood for walks. Barbara was so pleasant and helpful as I am trying to learn, research, and navigate this process for my mother. It’s definitely worth a visit.

My dad has lived at Kensington Park for the past 4 years. It is such a warm and loving place. The staff really goes above and beyond to make the residents feel comfortable and happy, and they are so kind and supportive to the families too. They make everyone feel special, valued, respected and loved.

One thing that stands out is the fact that the staff foster community among the residents. When I was visiting assisted living places, it was the one with the most lively interaction among the residents. That is so important and my dad has made lots of great friends there. The calendar is full of activities every day, with a wide variety to appeal to lots of different interests. There are also therapy programs to help the residents with both physical and cognitive needs. The caregivers, nurses and dining staff are all top-notch, and the food is excellent. The buildings and grounds are also beautiful and kept meticulously clean.

In addition to doing everything so beautifully every day, the KP staff have been incredible during the COVID pandemic. They locked down immediately, and maintained strict rules to keep everyone safe. They communicated at least once a week with families and were very creative about helping us connect with our loved ones when we weren't able to visit. And now they have reached a 100% vaccination rate!

I highly recommend Kensington Park. My dad really loves living there and I love knowing that he is safe and happy.
