The Kensington at Hastings operates as an assisted-living community equipped to manage a wide spectrum of health needs. Care staff can accommodate residents who wander during daytime or nighttime hours, exhibit elopement risk, display behavioral challenges, remain awake overnight, rely on oxygen, or are under 60 years old. Diabetes support extends to oral medications, insulin injections, and sliding-scale management. The team is also experienced with residents living with advanced dementia, ensuring continuity of care as cognitive needs progress.

Around-the-clock clinical oversight is provided by licensed nurses on site, supplemented by routine RN/LPN coverage and caregivers who remain awake throughout the night. All employees undergo background checks. Residents have access to podiatry services, a therapy room, and the community accepts individuals with psychiatric conditions. Pull-cord and personal emergency response systems connect directly to staff, and an activity director coordinates daily engagement. Staff deliver full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting; meals are generally self-served but help is available if needed. Mobility support ranges from standby supervision to one- or two-person transfers, and residents may use walkers or wheelchairs.

Accommodation options include suites that may feature a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the opportunity to paint or otherwise personalize the space. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry are provided. Not every unit offers every feature, so prospective residents should confirm availability during a tour.

Dining services provide a set menu at regular mealtimes, plus an on-order option for residents seeking variety. Snacks are available throughout the day, and a private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. The culinary team manages dietary modifications such as diabetic, low-sodium, or texture-adjusted meals.

Residents benefit from on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, a full-service barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, communal gardens, a library, and regular religious services held within the community. Scheduled transportation supports medical appointments and local errands. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
