I had the privilege to be in this place for a tour and lunch. The whole building inside and outside, looks amazing. It is friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Apartments are very comfortable, not too much space, just enough. Like the bathrooms, nice and clean. The dining room is with white tablecloths, clean and nice setting like in a hotel. The food was very tasty and warm. The staff are very friendly and have nice smiles on their faces. I enjoyed walking around the floors and library. Has a lots of nice quiet places to set and read a book, or just to talk with someone. I would like to recommend that everyone, must go and see. I would like to go back to this place and see their workshops and activities. They have a variety of opportunities to have great and fulfilling life after 70. Highly recommending this place to myself and anyone who is looking for independent living. Thank you for the great experience🥰

Very disappointing experience. The reception staff was unprofessional and inappropriate. She started discussing the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel and asked me if I knew which community I was working in. I responded that I treat everyone equally regardless of their background. She then said that this is a Jewish community and suggested that people should be treated differently, which was uncomfortable and unnecessary. There were also no clear signs or written instructions explaining the building’s rules or regulations. If someone new comes to the building, they would have no way of knowing the expectations. Important rules should either be explained politely or clearly posted on a notice board so everyone is aware. Additionally, the PSW staff were often rude and complained about very small things. I also noticed concerns regarding hygiene practices, as some staff entered rooms without wearing proper PPE kits, which is not appropriate in a care environment.

The staff at Kensington Place are truly exceptional - so kind, supportive, and compassionate. They went above and beyond during my mother's urgent care situation, making sure she was cared for every step of the way. We are so grateful for their kindness and thoughtfulness. I cannot recommend this retirement home highly enough.
