The Kensington Bethesda Reviews

    I went today to visit a friend in memory care, and have brunch at the Kensington. My friend is struggling most seriously with dementia. The facilities are beautiful, well-appointed and designed to give residents and their supporting loved ones a feeling of luxury, generosity in care and peace. The staff are well-trained for a facility in start-up operational mode. They are to a person kind, thoughtful, loving to residents and attentive. The brunch was first class, as if it were a boutique high end hotel. My point is that I encourage people to consider the Kensington as a new facility and best in class. I am sure it is expensive, designed for families who can afford the best of care. Based on my experience, this is a first class facility on start-up mode, with a well trained and fabulous staff, which simply needs to fill-up. I predict it will fill up quickly as news spreads, provided the quality of health care matches the experience of loved ones visiting the facility.

    Incredible facility- brand new, immaculate and warmly decorated for comfort and ease of residents. Gorgeous outdoor patio, lovely dining area, bar and many spaces to go for a visit with family, to read or to get out of your room. Rooms are generous and well designed. Excellent food and great space for hosting visitors for lunch or dinner. Staff is friendly, responsive and kind. Highly recommend.

    This is a beautiful assisted living place. The staff is patient, caring and helpful. There is a library, bar/lounge, dining room, sitting room with a baby grand piano. The resident 's rooms are clean and nicely set up.

    The building is beautiful, the staff is friendly and very welcoming. We did find the underground lobby parking lot was not well designed and very tight for our mini van. The entrance and exit gates are also very tight.
