My sister has Alzheimer's and she has been living at Kensington Place for about 7 months now. Our family couldn't have asked for a better home for her. The caregivers are very caring, patient and loving toward my sister. She is always busy with activities that the staff plan for each day, and she only spends time in her room to sleep. She is very happy there, and the other residents seem equally engaged and happy. The managers are also very friendly and regularly visit with the residents. The entire staff make the residents feel special. The food is good, and they really go all out for holidays. Tommie, the Director of Food Services, does a good job of balancing the dietary needs of the residents while regularly changing the menu and keeping it interesting for them. He's also just as friendly and thoughtful as the rest of the staff.

Over the years, we have had a family friend, then my mother and now my father placed at Kensington. Every time we have been impressed by the level of training, the friendliness and effectiveness of the staff and their organization. We also enjoy the genuinely caring nature and the very positive spirit of the place. But, you forget the little things that they do, when you do not have a family member there for a while. We recently moved my aged father to Kensington Place, and were facing a tight window for his move. We had ordered many pieces of furniture that had to be assembled, and I came one evening to verify that it has all been delivered to his apartment and to start a weekend’s worth of assembly. To my surprise, not only was it in the room, it was already assembled. Additionally, one piece had been damaged in shipping, and they had actually repaired it. He has vision issues, so the room had been painted a lighter than normal color, a lighter carpet option had been installed, and excellent new room lighting had been set up for him. As a result, the move went smoothly, and he is already integrated into the daily flow and enjoying the hourly activities and the dining. If you have a family member who needs memory care, we highly recommend Kensington Place.

When it came to taking care of our dad we felt strongly we needed not only the highest quality memory care, but also great food, warm staff and an environment that we would enjoy spending time in when we visit, and also feel content and relaxed we weren't there, knowing he was in great hands. This community checks every box. It oozes quality all the way around and we are able to have family meals together every evening at no charge, ever. We are just so happy with our choice.

This beautiful community is entirely dedicated to memory care. The staff were all happy and smiling when we toured, and the residents were all out of their apartments, doing activities, and engaging with the their caregivers. The environment was so warm, vibrant and really inviting and our lunch was absolutely delicious! This community has more staff per resident than any other we toured and has nurses who are awake and physically in the building 24 hours a day, every day. A wonderful community!

A dear friend of long-standing just moved in and a group of us that has been meeting together for 40 years went to visit during the afternoon happy hour and stayed for dinner. We were all made to feel very welcome. The staff is uniformly, pleasant, courteous, and efficient. They have good security systems and the food was excellent. It was my first visit and the impression was excellent.

Kensington Place feels like home, with a caring, compassionate, accommodating staff. Its warm, inviting interior is well decorated and comfortable to walk into. I arrived on pet visit day and there was live music, dogs, and a special Passover celebration. As hard as memory care is, being able to feel made at home and have my mother attended to in such a focused way is nice for everyone.

Kensington takes such good care of mom! Every time I go there there are people encouraging her and looking out for her, and they really do work as a team to take care of everyone. There are all kinds of events to bring joy to the residents and to bring families together. I couldn’t chose a better place for mom.

Kensington Place care team and overall management have been so supportive and respectful to my mother since the moment she moved in. She is treated with dignity and kindness everyday. The staff involves her in a variety of activities and they even provide weekly local outings which she particularly enjoys. I feel so much less stress since she moved to Kensington Place. I know she is getting such excellent care.

My best friend Gloria started expereincing dementia, and I did not know what to do. Kensington Place opened up around 5 minutes from my home in Redwood City, and I went in for a visit. This place is amazing! We placed my friend there shortly after that, and I am there several days a week to visit. I love going there, it has such a feeling of peace, the food is amazing (pictured below), and the activities are unending! The happy hour is one of my favorite times of day, where there is live music and dancing every day. I hope that when it comes time for me to not live on my own, I could specify Kensington Place for me. The staff look the residents in the eyes, treat them with respect and their care is thorough and kind, even when the resident is confused about what may be happening. They have endless patience and have so much to give to the residents and their families. The photo below is of my friend at their annual luau held in August last year. They have festive decorations and fun food, and always entertainment - the hula dancers were delightful! At Kensington Place, they celebrate just about everything, but mostly, they celebrate life. I am grateful for Kensington Place.

Kensington Place is a new facility, and I was very impressed with it. The personnel undergo a 6-week training to deal with residents with memory care issues. Downstairs, they have a kitchen with a stove that looks like a granite countertop. It always feels cool to the touch, but through conduction they were able to cook on it.
