I moved my wife Debbie into the Kensington Reston in early November. Their staff from top to bottom are the pinnacle of the care industry and I highly recommend their services for your loved one. This includes the caregiving staff that will be performing all the daily intimate care for the resident, as well as the management, finance, sales, food service, maintenance, and nursing staff that also provide 24x7 support. There are daily live music happy hours, scheduled activities, excellent meals, and lots of smiles and laughter. My wife's condition was advanced at the time of admission, and she was placed into the Haven which is the top level of dementia care for the Kensington Reston. She was placed in hospice immediately, and her stay ended up being short. The end of life care was also excellent allowing me to be a supportive husband vs a full time caregiver for her final days. Family members were able to gather at her bedside during that time and celebrate her life. The Kensington team is laser focused on providing resident care, but they also recognize the importance of family support. I visited the facility daily and every staff member knew my name and said hello, I was offered drinks and meals, and anytime I made a request it was taken seriously and immediately addressed. One other point, the facility is licensed as an Assisted Living facility, not a Nursing Home, so be sure to understand the difference when exploring options. I am glad I made the decision to move my wife into the Kensington Reston, and wish I had made the decision sooner.

Although retired, I still have an intense desire to continue to explore and learn about new topics, to expand my knowledge and to acquire new skills, all of which enhance my volunteer caliber with 3 organizations. The Kensington in Reston, has played a vital role in supporting my lifelong learning which keeps me mentally engaged, allows me to develop new relationships and to acquire a fervent sense of purpose and giveback in my retirement years. In my AARP volunteer role relative to “Community Outreach”, Kristine Llanes - Director of Outreach at The Kensington, has extended invitations to me on diverse topics. Examples of some of the recent learning opportunities that I have attended: lectures in “Ask a Neurologist” series, “Caring Through The Holidays: A Positive Approach to Care Workshop” and “Boost Your Brain Health with the MIND diet”. The guest speakers are phenomenal! Each one demonstrated authenticity, enthusiasm and allowed plenty of time for questions and comments. Complimentary side dishes and dessert are always served. The Kensington Assisted Living Community for Seniors emphasizes a caring perspective and attitude that prioritize compassion and connection. The philosophy: “To love and care for your family as we do our own” depicts a deep engagement and responsibility to both residents and their families. Kristine is an outstanding “Director of Outreach” for the Kensington and is very innovative in creating effective outreach programs. She is visionary, articulate and results-oriented. Her topics are inclusive as she fosters strong relationships with diverse community members. She and the staff are extremely energetic and enthusiastic and they foster a vibrant locality atmosphere. Everyone I interact with is resourceful, collaborative, friendly and professional. I am honored and privileged to have this opportunity to connect with such amazing individuals at The Kensington, Reston!

My father has been a resident of The Kensington- Reston since December of last year. My family and I are so very thankful for the excellent care he is receiving. He is a very low key sweet man that deserves the best care in his later years. He is very happy living at the Kensington- Reston.

Yes, Kensington is beautiful and the benefits match. But anybody can stage a property and take nice photos. Yes, they say they will care for your family as they do their own. But anybody can pump out great phrases that give you hope. Pretty photos and pretty words don't tell the story. My 90 year old father had spent a week in the hospital and experienced significant cognitive changes. In an effort to get him a safe discharge, I wanted to take the opportunity to get him into respite care with the hopes of transitioning him fully to a residence that could give him the support he needed. He happened to visit Kensington (one of several visits to different facilities) the day before his hospitalization so we began a 60 day respite stay. From day one, the staff at Kensington treated him with such grace and empathy and were supportive and available to me. My father can be a really difficult person, but age and medical conditions exacerbated the difficulties and made him combative, exit seeking, and inappropriate at times.. Kensington medical staff worked to get the right combination of medications to try to ease the symptoms of his dementia and anxiety while keeping me well informed of his medical, mental, and emotional state. No changes were ever made without notifying me, they were fantastic with communication. Despite the temporary status, he wasn't treated as a ‘hotel’ guest and I truly felt that they cared about his well-being. He had another hospitalization due to a seizure and transferred to a rehab facility but staff at Kensington checked in with me regularly. More impressive though, is when I would come to the property a few times to grab some of his things… Even the nursing staff asked how he was doing with such genuine kindness and asked me to tell him that they hope to see him soon. That meant a lot. I'm so appreciative of their help throughout this really complicated period, I don't think this review does much justice to just how much they did. Monica, Jackie, Shavonne, Amy, Anne, Heather, and Buh… it has been a real pleasure.
