The Kensington Cumberland is an assisted-living community that supports residents who need everyday help as well as those looking for short-term or respite stays. Licensed nurses oversee diabetes monitoring, medication management and physical rehabilitation programs, while on-site occupational, physical and speech therapists coordinate care plans with residents’ physicians. Hospice services are available for individuals with advanced needs, and staff can address incontinence care and other daily health concerns without requiring an outside trip unless a higher level of intervention is needed.
Care staff are reachable through an emergency call system installed throughout the residence, providing 24-hour response for falls or sudden health issues. Nurses handle routine assessments, medication adjustments and ambulatory care, and they collaborate with the therapy team to update mobility and strength programs. The community also provides scheduled laundry and dry-cleaning services, so clothing and linens are kept sanitary as part of its infection-control approach. For residents living with cognitive change, a dedicated memory-care program delivers structured routines and safety measures within the larger licensed assisted-living setting.
Accommodations range from studio and efficiency layouts to larger suites, all air-conditioned with individual climate controls. Some apartments include wheelchair-accessible showers, vaulted ceilings, wall-to-wall carpeting, window treatments, cable TV and high-speed Wi-Fi, while other units come with fewer built-in features; availability depends on the specific floor plan. Residents can spend time in indoor common areas such as the central fireplace lounge, library and computer corner, or outdoors in landscaped gardens and walking paths. Parking is provided for those who still drive, and the property accepts pets in designated areas and units.
Dining services offer three chef-prepared meals each day with an option for all-day dining, so residents can choose flexible seating times. Menus can accommodate vegetarian and kosher preferences, and healthy snacks are stocked between meals. Guests may purchase a meal and join residents in the dining room, and staff monitor nutritional intake for anyone with special dietary requirements such as carbohydrate-controlled plans for diabetes.
Daily life is supplemented by an activity center that hosts fitness sessions, yoga and chair yoga classes, club meetings, social outings, live-music events, karaoke nights and scheduled dances. Residents may take part in health and wellness programs, intergenerational activities and birthday celebrations, or spend downtime in the on-site library and computer lounge. A swimming pool and regular happy hours round out an events calendar designed to keep residents physically active and socially engaged.
