The Village at Kensington Place

My dad is at the Village, and choosing this community has truly been one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. He tells me often how kind everyone is, and that alone brings me such comfort and peace of mind. The Village is beautifully maintained and full of life, with so many activities that give residents opportunities to stay engaged and connected. The food is plentiful and nutritious, and knowing my dad is eating well and being looked after means more to me than I can express. Most importantly, my dad feels safe—and as his family, that means everything. The care and compassion shown to him each day reassure us that he is exactly where he belongs. I also want to give special recognition to Sydney, the coordinator, who went above and beyond in every possible way to get my dad settled so quickly. Her kindness, dedication, and willingness to help during such an emotional time meant the world to our family. Thank you to the entire Village community for treating my dad with such dignity, warmth, and respect. We are deeply grateful.

One of the hardest things in life is when your parent cannot take care of themselves anymore. The second hardest is finding a loving, caring place you know they will be safe at. My mother had lived in her house that she built with my father for 58 years. He passed away 25 years ago. She didn't want to leave her mom even though she said she did. Her physical and mental health were declining. She could no longer stay in her big house by herself. But being a stubborn woman that she was she kept insisting she was fine until she started hallucinating, calling the cops and falling. She ended up in the hospital. Now a decision had to be made as to where she will go after discharge. I visited several Senior Living facilities and then I visited The Village at Kensington Place in Meriden. As soon as I walked into the place I felt welcomed, warmth and love. The atmosphere was friendly and cozy. Then there is the staff! Unremarkable! What impressed me most was how long the staff has been working there. Right then I knew this would be a great place for mom. We met with Syndey (Director of Community Relations) she is awesome! Every resident she came encounter with she knew their name and greeted them with pleasant words. My mother was having an awful time adjusting to her new place. It was turning into a nightmare. The staff including Syndey and Stephanie (Director of nursing) were great with supporting me and my family through the transition and reassuring us this is normal behavior and it takes time but she will adjust. We are here for you and your mom. And sure enough with in weeks my mother is doing well and is adjusting. With all the staff at Kensington making it possible. I highly recommend this Senior Living facility. They care about your precious loved ones and not the money!

From the moment I walked through the doors looking for the best possible place for my Mom, I was greeted with kindness, and so happy with the whole experience. The place is so clean, and takes care of every need for my Mom. I was sold from the get go! My Mom is thriving here, and her life here is wonderful! Everyone here has made her transition easy and I couldn't be happier! I ask my Mom if she would want to go home, and she says no, she's happy here! I know she is surrounded with care, and it truly has lessened the worries I carried. I am thankful and grateful to The Village of Kensington Place for taking great care of my Mom!

The Village at Kensington Place Assisted Living in Meriden is built on a beautiful campus with many amenities that would make anybody feel at home and still have the freedom of an active social life, with many outings and events planned by the caring staff here. The staff at the Village is second to none in their warm and compassionate ways that always keep the members feeling loved and respected. Everybody, including the residents is down to earth and so inviting. I would recommend The Village at Kensington Place to anybody that needs a new lease on life.
