About The Kensington at Fort Madison

from Oasis Senior Advisors

The Kensington at Fort Madison provides both Assisted Living and Memory Care, allowing residents to receive daily support or more specialized cognitive services without leaving the community. Memory Care residents benefit from spaces planned to minimize confusion, structured programming to retain skills, and staff who understand dementia-related behaviors.

Medical oversight is extensive. Nurses are on site to monitor chronic conditions such as diabetes and to manage medications, while hospice care and short-term respite stays are available when needs change. Incontinence and ambulatory care are offered, and occupational and physical therapists visit regularly as part of a larger wellness program. Apartments are equipped with an emergency call system, and the campus is fully secured to help protect residents who wander.

Apartments are air conditioned and designed to accommodate wheelchairs, with accessible showers in many layouts. Wi-Fi is available, and some residences or shared lounges feature a central fireplace or a piano for informal gatherings. Outdoor sitting areas and on-site parking add convenience, and pets are welcome in designated units, although not every accommodation includes every feature.

Dining is structured yet flexible. Residents can choose restaurant-style meals or order throughout the day from the all-day dining menu. Standard menus are supplemented with kosher and vegetarian choices, and family members may purchase guest meals to share with residents.

Recreational and social options include an activity center, clubs, a library and computer lounge, yoga and chair-yoga classes, reminiscence and intergenerational programs, birthday parties, dances, indoor walking paths, supervised outdoor time, karaoke, happy hours, fitness sessions, live-music events, scheduled social outings, and seasonal use of the swimming pool.

#1 in Fort Madison, IA

Residents and their families say:

This community is highly praised for its caring and attentive staff, with visitors and families frequently mentioning the personalized and compassionate approach to resident care. Staff members, including those with long tenures, are noted for their dedication to making residents feel at home, ensuring that they are part of a loving and supportive environment. Various amenities and activities, such as scenic tours, crafts, baking, and bingo, contribute to an engaging and vibrant community atmosphere. The provision of meals for family members visiting residents is appreciated, highlighting the community's commitment to maintaining strong family connections.

Despite the overwhelming positivity, there are a few concerns raised by reviewers. For instance, one reviewer noted the community could improve by offering more outing opportunities for residents with mild dementia, suggesting activities like gardening could enrich their lives. Another pointed out the need for a more tailored dietary plan, particularly for diabetic residents. Additionally, the mention of staff changes has been a cause of slight concern, although the community is commended for its handling of safety measures, especially regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. These concerns, however, are minor when juxtaposed against the voluminous praise for the staff's loving care and the extensive array of activities and services provided to the residents.
