Positive5-Star Experience
I've been thrilled with the care so far! It's a bustling environment - active with friendly & caring care-givers, offering a huge range of activities. The other residents are actively involved -- way beyond bingo! Art projects, lectures, gardening, bridge, scrabble, weekend drives/excursions, etc. Well managed and clean. Laundry & cleaning service.

I would say it was a very lively community for seniors. Tons of activities and things to make everything feel like home and comfortable. The staff is wonderful, the food is great and the place is very well kept. I picked this community because it seemed much livelier than other places.

CriticalVery Poor Management
My mother has been at the Kensington for over a year and a half. The communication, management and management of medications has been extremely poor. I was hopefully that with Kisco's recent transfer of ownership of Kensington, things would get better - but they have gotten worse! Recently their fax machine has been broken for 2 weeks - the primary way in which medical orders are submitted by doctors for residents. The phone systems have been down several times.
