Wonderful place to have your loved one cared for while they are in their final stages of a complex disease. No beeping alarms,, wonderful and supportive staff, and a smaller nurse to patient ratio than any other hospital or medical setting.

My dad passed away at Kensington Hospice almost a year ago. The quality of care he received while a patient at Kensington was so kind, compassionate and dignified, even when my father himself was not embodying those characteristics. The care and under My sister and I received while there with our father was equally incredible. That entire experience was unlike anything I’d ever had to deal with in life and I don’t know that it would have been bearable without the staff at Kensington Hospice.
