My dad recently moved into the Kensington, and Anick, the regional manager, was an incredible support during this transition. Her patience and knowledge shined through as we navigated our options. We initially hoped to go to Duncan, where my father had lived all his life; however, there were no vacancies. Anick suggested a Victoria community as a short-term solution while we awaited a place at the Hamlets in Duncan. Her compassion and approachability made the process easier, and her insightful guidance was invaluable. My dad loves the Kensington and enjoys the company of the residents and the delicious food. Choosing this place was truly the best decision we could have made. We are immensely grateful to Anick for being such an amazing liaison for your organization. I wholeheartedly recommend this property and Anick! Thank you !!:)

Kensington CARES. Our 80+ yr old mother could not be in better, safer hands than here for Independent Living. Our family is so impressed by the cheerful, caring staff of all ages who work here. Not to mention the vast variety of social activities, far exceeding the family-owned place nearby that she moved from with its "Covid excuses" & hidden fees. GM Samantha has gone above & beyond to lead the high level of care and we only wish we'd found this gem sooner. Kudos Revera and this wonderful team!
