The Kensington provides two levels of residency—Assisted Living and Independent Living—and is equipped to manage a wide range of medical conditions. Residents who need routine or unscheduled attention for oxygen therapy, special diets, or diabetic care (whether oral medications, injections, or sliding-scale insulin) can receive it on site. The staff is also trained to support people living with advanced dementia, and care teams stay alert for late-night wandering or other safety concerns during overnight hours.
Around-the-clock clinical oversight anchors the community’s safety net. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, with a nurse on call 24 hours a day. Background-checked caregivers work an awake night shift, and the building is safeguarded by door alarms, fenced grounds, and pull-cord or PERS alert systems that connect residents to staff. Podiatry visits are handled on campus, and the community accepts residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Full assistance is available for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and transfer help ranges from simple standby support to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers.
Apartments are offered in several layouts; some include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Because features vary by unit, families should confirm which amenities are included in the specific apartment under consideration.
Meals are cooked to order three times a day, supplemented by anytime snacks, and dietary modifications can be arranged for physician-ordered or preference-based needs. Independent Living residents may opt for medication-management check-ins, weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan while still enjoying the flexibility to prepare their own food if they prefer.
Daily life is rounded out by resident parking, exterior smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, and a pet-friendly policy—though it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Other on-site conveniences include a barber and beauty salon, exercise room, movie room, internet access, communal gardens, and regularly scheduled religious services. Transportation is available for medical appointments and outings, and the campus is close to public transit for residents who travel independently.
