The Kensington Reston review

My husband rebounded from 2-person assist to independence! It is expensive, but caring for a 2-person assist resident takes a lot of work.

A great place for your loved one

. Although I can say nothing bad about The Kensington 14K per month for any care facility in the US is too much. So I think I am more disappointed in the American care system than anything else. Absolutely loved the facility and the care they gave my mother.

We toured The Kensington Reston during our search for an Assisted Living facility for my loved one. This facility was really special! However, it was on another planet in terms of cost.
