Kensington Place was in a bad area. I would be very uncomfortable going there at night. They had a poor craft room. Everything was in bins and boxes and every once in a while they do craft activity out in the main lobby. They had a storage room in the basement, which was nice. The rooms were pretty nice, but the area surrounding it was not desirable. The place in and of itself would be one of the contenders except I would not go there because of where it is and the area.

At Kensington Place Retirement Community, they have a therapy room and a gym; the laundry room is free. The rooms are very, very nice. Their dining area is nice and open.

Kensington Place Retirement Community offers assistance if you need it. They have really nice apartments with nice views. They take you places, and they have a gym on-site. It seemed nicer, like a home. If they get worse or need assistance, they will have someone come in and help them so they don't have to move.

I’m so thankful for my home here and the friends I have made, as
well as those I knew before coming. Thank you all for making
me feel so welcome here. Thank you also to all the staff who have
been so helpful in getting me settled in my new home.

Kensington was very nice, it wasn’t as spacious as the others, but it was very clean. They had lots of activities. I loved their dining area, it made you feel like you were in a restaurant. It was very first class.

I am in Kennsington Place, and the people here are great -- all 120 of them. I have a 5-room apartment, and it is great. They have maid service every other week, and I have my own maid come in the other week. The food here is excellent. We have a gym. We have nursing, advisory, and entertainment 3 or 4 nights a week. We play bingo, and we have movies.

When I walked through Kensington Place, I saw their dining room. It was nice. However, for the money they asked, I didn't think it was something special. The staff and the apartments were nice. They had showed me all the things they had and they had buses to take the senior citizens to different activities. I thought that was nice. However, I'm still active and I didn't need some of the things they were offering. I just didn't have the income to live there.

My friend likes Kensington Place the best because she has a multiple room there, like the bedroom, the living room and the kitchen. It is gorgeous. They serve two meals a day in a beautiful dining room with white table clothes. They have activities for the residents and transportations for their medical concerns. The people there are very helpful. I will recommend it to others.

The rooms are comfortable and the common areas are very nice. The fitness room and the Media room provide lots of entertainment and exercise. There's always something going on to be involved in if you want to be actively engaging with others.

I went to Kensington Place Retirement Community. It was fabulous, and I really liked it. The staff was friendly, helpful, and definitely gave me all of the information. It was very nice. Someone was there doing an activity like for tie-dye t-shirts with some of the residents. Overall it just seemed like a very happy place.

Kensington Place was in quite a bit older building, and it was right next to a medical facility. It had a beautiful setting, backed up to a woods, there was a walking trail through there, and overall, I liked what I saw. The staff member was very helpful, and I thought she did a very good job. I just saw residents in the lobby picking up mail, the residents were a bit older, and everybody seemed to be staying in their rooms.

My mom really liked Kensington Place. They had a chef from Cameron that runs the place. The rooms were a nice size and we were impressed with the condition and how everything looked. We ate there and the food we had was really good.

I liked almost everything about The Kensington; that's where I wanted my mom to go. They had a deck where they can go out and sit, patio tables with umbrellas to get some fresh air, and a little walking path outside for exercise.

Kensington Place is the cleanest place that I have ever walked into. The staff was very friendly. However, I could not afford it. The community was beautiful and centrally located, which is nice. I wish they could make it more affordable.

Kensington Place seemed fine, but the kitchen appliances were very cheap. They seemed to have plenty of things, and there were people around.
