The Kensington is a wonderful facility with a truly caring and compassionate staff. Everyone is incredibly kind, attentive, and goes above and beyond to make residents and their families feel comfortable and supported. So grateful for the level of care and attention they provide and would highly recommend The Kensington to anyone looking for a warm and trustworthy place for their loved one.

Our father has been with the Kensington for four years and it had been a special experience. It is a lovely facility convenient to where he lived many years, and the familiarly has been powerful. As with any assisted living, there is a mix of capability among the guests and throughout Kensington has been attentive as his memory declines to meet him with people at his level, get to PT regularly and engage him with activities that he enjoys and keeps him alert. There is a deep kindness to the place in near every encounter from the very top, and the wonderful staff. They not only know dad, but…

Our father has been with the Kensington for four years and it had been a special experience. It is a lovely facility convenient to where he lived many years, and the familiarly has been powerful. As with any assisted living, there is a mix of capability among the guests and throughout Kensington has been attentive as his memory declines to meet him with people at his level, get to PT regularly and engage him with activities that he enjoys and keeps him alert. There is a deep kindness to the place in near every encounter from the very top, and the wonderful staff. They not only know dad, but “see” him on his terms - ensuring efforts and programs to his particular interests. He is greeted by name and warmly throughout. This experience is a team experience and my sister and I are captains of team dad and Kensington is utterly on his and our side - communicative, open, candid and respectful and encouraging - but ensure also that we hear the realities that sometimes it is hard for families to hear. Always with courtesy and kindness and, again, in the interests of dad.

I can't say enough good things about my father's 18 month residence at The Kensington. The staff was lovely and responsive to us and he was comfortable and well cared for, which brought such comfort to my family. Their affection for him was obvious and having onsite medical care and management of his medical schedling and transportation, when needed, made a difficult situation infinitely more manageable.

Kensington sponsors my son's little league team here in White Plains and arranged a special visit for his whole team to the facility. It was so special for the kids to meet the residents and hear about how they're rooting for the team and wanted to hear updates. Our team name is the Mets so the only rub was that there were a lot of Yankees fans but they all managed to get along ;-) Grateful to have such a wonderful sponsor with such commitment to the team & community.

Bitter disappointment! Definitely has changed over the past few years. Care for patients is almost negligible. Staff was fired several times for lack of care. Seem to care more about their bottom line than patients. Do not recommend at all! Update: please check chat GBT for further violation details. No need to contact administrators at Kensington, already did and removed our family member asap.

My father received superb care at The Kensington. He was in the memory care unit called Connections. The entire staff is impressive. Everyone is caring and skilled. Most importantly, the staff all take accountability for handling any issues that arise. I had piece of mind and would recommend The Kensington highly.

Re: The Kensington in White Plains: My aunt is in the memory unit of this facility. She has been in many other facilities in Westchester from independent living to direct nursing care. No facility could compare to The Kensington. I have been a nurse for 47 years and I know kindness, empathy and compassion when I see it. Just outstanding! I have never witnessed a single person with a negative emotion in any part of this facility. The physical environment is very clean and decorated beautifully. They have so many fun activities for their residents and the staff are active participants. People care here. I am over the moon that my loved one is here, safe and loved. Thank you staff!

Thanks and gratitude are in order for the staff at The Kensington, White Plains, NY. The level of compassion and caring for my older brother Mario and his wife, Gisela has been excellent. Thanks to all involved, staff and administrators, in supporting and assisting with their well being, particularly Haven Case Manager, Denise Tomlinson. Her professionalism and can-do attitude has made us feel at peace knowing that our loved ones are well taken care of. She has helped in all issues/problems and decision making no matter how small and it is very much appreciated. We can't say enough about the staff and administration at the Kensington Assisted Living Residence of White Plains. Thank you for everything you do. Angelo Penge and Family
