The Kensington at White Plains – Reviews
September 2024
I attended the 13th Year Anniversary Party and the event was a microcosm of The Kensington as a whole. Brenda and the leadership staff were warm and friendly, and the food was delicious! So nice to learn of the upcoming events The Kensington makes available to build community for its residents and their families.

Amazing community! And Brenda is the best 🙂 They are lucky to have her.

The Kensington is a wonderful place for a loved one to reside. The staff is friendly, warm and welcoming. Everyone always has a smile for you, and the staff go out of their way to help. They show warmth and kindness that is evident in everything they do. The Kensington has engaging activities and the staff communicate very well with each as well as the family. My father is always clean and well groomed. They make it look easy but my father was in another assisted living that was very poorly managed and the staff was uncaring and I've seen first hand how bad it can be. The Kensington makes it look easy but they are doing a lot of magic behind the scenes to be such a well oiled machine that caters to the resident and the family. The Kensington is everything I thought an assisted living should be. Moving my father here was the best decision I have ever made and my only regret is not moving him sooner.

Clean, spacious, and extremely well-maintained facility. The rooms, dining and common areas have every amenity a resident and visitor would need for a comfortable stay. The staff is excellent, and they constantly communicate in order to meet your family member's needs. The Kensington has every service one may require in assisted living, including various on-site doctors, nurses, physical/occupational therapy, and aids who capable of providing any level of care. The facility is also literally next door to the White Plains Hospital - a crucial factor which would definitely be agreed upon by those who have gone through the assisted living process with a family member.
October 2023
My uncle resided at the Kensington for two years. It was a godsend. He received the best of care under the most difficult of circumstances. A profound thanks to the administration and staff on behalf of my entire family.
September 2023
I had to wait until i was not emotionally attached. The Kensington did a great job with my parents. It was tough being an only child, working and being responsible for their care. Until the end, the Kensington hung in there with all my mood swings and my emotional attachments. Most of the staff were sympathetic and heartfelt. Like any facility, it is important to stay involved. All in all my parents felt at home as they were taken care of by a great staff and directed by great leaders... Thank you Celina! I know you are surprised about this review. But you guys deserve it!
June 2023
we moved my Dad into the Kensington a little over a year ago and moved my mother in 5 months later when an apartment opened up for the two of them to be together. They both came from another assisted living facility which was a constant nightmare for over two years. The Kensington has been nothing but a blessing. The staff are professional, kind, respectful, friendly and always happy to help no matter the situation or the time of day. The facility itself is warm and welcoming and well maintained. While nothing is 100% perfect, I can't say enough about how superior the Kensington is in every way.
January 2023
What a beautiful facility! Above all, the staff is very professional, as well as compassionate and amazingly caring. Would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family.
September 2022
I have visited my wife many,many times at The Kensington, and the experience is very pleasant. From Linda to Suzie to the nurses ti the aides, they always greet u with a smile. I enjoy the visit with my wife as well as the staff.
September 2022
We moved to the fifth floor (advanced dementia unit) of the Kensington after years of managing a health team at home, at a time when I wasn't sure if a dignified and emotionally pleasant solution was available for our advanced medical and emotional needs. My partner was fragile, almost entirely nonverbal but extremely reflective of the amount of emotional input received. The Kensington was the only assisted living facility in NYS where my intuitive partner could receive potentially better care than under my supervision. What is easy to see is the hotel-like quality of the decor, the good quality windows / window-sils and the sun-filled, spacious common rooms (there are several options to hang out). It was especially welcome (at my exhausted state) that we could choose not to move in new furniture as they had furniture available. (It would have been perfectly possible to bring our own furniture and some people do,) I was also relieved to notice the high variety and quality of food - always with several options, including several kinds of cooked breakfast and easier to chew meat options (shepherd's pie, meat loaf, juicy stews with mashed potatoes) for those on a not-quite-pure-y-but-almost-there diet. We were very attached to our home-brand apple juice, so we kept a supply in our cabinet and this choice was always respected, kept in the fridge and served with meals. The face of the team is the administrative team who are in close contact with each other and are highly educated, personable and skillful. After the initial (efficient) moving-in period I tried to focus more on the floor team however, as it is the nurses and the actual caregivers who make or break the mood of the residents....and no matter the decor and the food, every institution is only as good as its team. This is where the Kensington really needs to be applauded somehow, as somehow there's a general sense of good will permeating through the members of the caregiving team, in a way that I've seen new, doubtful employees mellow out and become somehow better in a matter of days. The team members actually seem to be helping and advising each other, and there is a general sense of empathy among them. The employee morale seems high and the care team seems proud to be working there. There are breaks for the employees and cell phones are not allowed, so if there is some quieter downtime for team members, it is spent sitting down with each other, exchanging advice, or sitting down in the living room with the residents. The Kensington has its own daily rhythm (meals, nap time, bathing times, evening movie time..) that Denice or the relevant floor manager takes great care to explain to new family members...the administrative team is sensitive to individual needs such as communication and they make a genuine creative effort to address those needs. While we kept our private doctor and hence have a limited insight into the primary medical team, we used some of their visiting doctors for podiatry and eye care who did a good job. The Kensington has a very capable nursing team - our full-time floor nurse was a permanent presence and a source of comfort around the clock. In case of specific medical concerns I suggest a specific initial conversation with the head-nurse to address those needs. Finally I'd like to mention that I think the best testament to any institution is its own residents - interestingly many of them are former doctors or family members of doctors, likely having done their research. While these residents will all have their good days and bad, their general disposition tends to be quite serene. I witnessed several new residents (sometimes transfers from other institutions) move in a little bit up in arms and lacking in trust, expecting the care team not to care - those residents were met with patience and respect, and they mellowed out and adopted a more peaceful, happier attitude in a week or two, full of respect themselves and with an interest in life. Thank you for your care.
July 2022
Highly recommend! The facility is beautiful and very clean and well maintained. The staff is exceptional and so kind and caring towards the residents. They truly make the Kensington a great home.
July 2022
Our family had no prior experience with assisted living residences until we moved our Mom to Kensington White Plains. She has lived there now for five years. The character and leadership of Executive Director Celina Watson captured the essence of what is truly important in a manager that runs a people caring business. Kensington's motto "we promise to love and care for your family as we do our own" is not just words but demonstrated by actions. Kensington is an excellent facility and partner to entrust the care of our aging parents. Thank you to Celina and the entire community for all that you do.

My mother lived at the Kensington and truly loved to call it home. The staff were very compassionate to all of her needs. The ability customize her care in a resort like setting was paramount to our family.
March 2022
My mother was at the Kensington and had been there since October 2018. The people there are great! I don't know how they are so patient and so nice but they are. The one time we had an emergency that required a bathroom cleanup they were there in 10 minutes. They were thorough and I was amazed. The food is pretty good, not excellent, and there is a fair amount of choice. They are licensed to do a lot that most assisted living facilities are not. Including wound care and medicine by IV. Otherwise if your loved one falls and gets a wound the assisted living facility has to send them somewhere else for rehab until the wound is gone. This way they never have to leave the building . Over a two week period They have 14 kinds of doctors have office hours within the building. They also provide physical therapy in the building and a beauty salon. My mother recently died and the people there were great. They were able to handle hospice in the building in the room she was in so she wasn't disoriented. The staff was extremely nice, even at the end when caring for her was very difficult. After she died the staff expressed concern and they really seemed committed to her. I cannot imagine a better place for her to spend her final years.

The staff is so nice and friendly. My grandma is so happy with her experience. When shes happy our family is happy!! Thank you for being so kind
January 2022
My mom has been at the Kensington since April. Following a series of strokes, she did several stints in rehab and lived with me for eight months. As each month passed, it was harder and harder for me to take care of her. She was miserable, and I was exhausted. It was difficult to be "mother and daughter" and I felt I was losing my best friend. Since she moved to the Kensington, she has made new friends, been welcomed into a warm and compassionate community, and has some purpose to her life. Recently, her condition got worse, and she had to be hospitalized. When she returned to the Kensington, everyone: housekeeping, maintenance, personal care aides, nurses and Directors welcomed her back in such a loving way. There is a culture of compassion at the Kensington that permeates the building. When I would visit my mom in the hospital or rehab center, I was always scared to leave at the end of the day because I wasn't sure how they would treat her. When I leave the Kensington after a visit, I go home with a sense of peace, knowing that everyone in the building has my mom's best interests at heart.
January 2022
My experience with the staff has been amazing. They really care about the residents and helping those in the community. I appreciate them for taking care of the residents during this pandemic. They have done an amazing job. They are an agency who really care. i appreciate them for that.

Gina was great. Informative and compassionate. Give her a raise.
September 2021
So much of the world is unpredictable these days and the physical health and mental challenges of advanced age make it all the more complicated and uncontrollable. The experience of having both parents live at the Kensington has been reassuring and comforting despite these challenges and these times. My family knows that mom is well attended to with the extra care she needs and that dad is given the opportunity to age into his evolving circumstances with dignity and every degree of independence he craves. It continues to be a blessing that The K's mission is to care for our parents like they would their own.
March 2021
My siblings and I are so fortunate that we could get both of our parents into The Kensington White Plains. They really do care about each of their residents. The excellent care teams worked hard to keep us connected to our mom and dad even the during the worst phases of the pandemic. Now that many restrictions are lifted, we have had regular in-person visits, which are so very important.
March 2021
It's impossible to put into words the comfort that I feel, and my family feels, with both Mom and Dad being cared for at the Kensington. Every staffer there really does treat our parents as if they were their own.
January 2021
The staff at the Kensington are true professionals, providing my family member with wonderful care and consideration. They are always available to solve problems with great kindness. It's the best assisted living in Westchester County. Bravo!
January 2021
The warmth and caring that is evident at The Kensington, really makes it feel like home for the residents. The "residents" are seen as family, and indeed that is how they are cared for. This is evident from the Director, right down to each and every caregiver and employee. Everyone is known by name, and their likes and dislikes, and preferences are all taken into account in every aspect of the day. The Chef and the dining staff is amazing, making the residents look forward to each meal. We felt the special atmosphere of the Kensington as soon as we walked in, and we knew immediately that this was the right place for our loved one.
January 2021
We moved my Dad to the Kensington in April 2021. The experience for him and our family members has been world-class. The staff members, Susie, Celebs, Donna, Cosme, Dominique,Patricia, Linda- I could go on and on. They make the experience outstanding, because they truly care for our Dad.
October 2020
My Mom was one of the first residents at The Kensington. My family and I felt she was well cared for in her last 7 years. The staff, friendly and accommodating. The community has a warm and welcoming feeling when you walk in. Nice location in Westchester County.

I cared for my husband at home for six years after he fell and broke his hip. The fall and rehab in a nursing home hastened the decline of his memory. He began to use a walker. I knew that I had to prepare for when I could not care for him alone. I saw an elder care lawyer to explore my options. I engaged a home health care aide for 5 days a week. When my husband suddenly could not get up from a chair and walk to the bedroom, I realized that home health care would be impossible to sustain. Fortunately, I had done my research and visited several assisted living facilities. I was ready to act, which I did, by calling The Kensington in White Plains. They were totally responsive and fast tracked my husband's move so that we accomplished it in nine days, starting with their nurse coming to our home to assess my husband, which was critical because transporting him to White Plains would have been difficult. Today, after two months at The Kensington, my husband is enjoying an enhanced quality of life that I could not provide for him at home. His personal care is impeccable and his room is clean, bright and inviting. He is happy. His transition to life at The Kensington was seamless. This is because the staff is well-trained and genuinely caring. There is a culture of professionalism at The Kensington. The memory care director told me she was available 24/7 for questions. The caregivers are so sweet, polite and loving to all the residents and their relatives. One is always asking, "Are you all right, do you need anything?" My husband is happy because he is always engaged in activities and has people around him. There is music, trivia, movies, art and poetry. His walking has improved with their excellent physical therapy. There are piano and guitar concerts. And recently, there was a trip to an art museum, which he really loved because he is an artist. The staff knows this and includes him in art projects as much as possible. The decor at The Kensington is beautiful and well-maintained with pretty colors, flower arrangements and elegant furniture. The dining room, where I take my husband, "out to lunch," is like a restaurant. I know that I have done the right thing for my husband, and for myself. I could not have kept up the stressful life I was leading as his caregiver without dire consequences to my health. I am now free to continue my life knowing that he is in a great place. When people ask me why I chose The Kensington I say, "Because it is the best."

The Kensington is a unique Assisted Living like no other. The staff is exceptional as is the entire facility. The level of care offered to it's residents is at a level like to other.
April 2020
We moved mom up from Florida for the last chapter in her life and it was one of the best decisions to have her at The Kensington where the quality of her care was second to none. There are too many to name by name since everyone there was AMAZING!!! I highly recommend anyone looking for care for their loved ones to look into The Kensington!
February 2020
I can't praise The Kensington enough for the excellent way the staff took care of my husband for almost 2 years. I really believe that he lived longer because of the caring staff who loved him. There is an incredible amount of kindness and affection expressed by staff members towards the residents. Norm, the Head Chef has been exceptionally helpful, including a memorable 49th wedding anniversary dinner. The staff not only showed kindness to him, but to me as well. When I traveled to visit family out of state, I never had to worry about my husband, knowing he would get the best of care. I wholeheartedly recommend The Kensington for your loved one.
January 2020
The Kensington took fantastic care of my great-aunt for 2 and a half years. They made her feel at home and made the last years of her life very happy. She very much enjoyed participating in the group outings and making friends with the other residents. The Kensington staff were very attuned to my aunt's health needs and were very proactive in making any adjustments needed. They treated her as one of their own family members and I could sleep well at night knowing she was in great care. Thank you so much to the Kensington you truly are the best.
January 2020
My Father has been at the Kensington for many years now. He is SO well cared for and loved. The staff is professional and knowledgeable while being kind, caring, loving, upbeat, understanding, , compassionate, accommodating, and eager to help me connect with my Dad even when they have so many responsibilities just in caring for each individual resident. I am grateful and inspired by the AMAZING staff from the managers, to the care workers, nurses, food services, recreation, entertainment coordinating, entertainers, family liaisons, Concierge's, just EVERYONE. The TEAMWORK REALLY DOES MAKE THIS DREAM WORK!!!! I HIGHLY recommend this facility for loved ones who can no longer care for themselves and need round-the-clock care and have medical needs such as administering meds and bloods taken to monitor sugar blood levels, etc. The food is AMAZING and Norm, who is in charge of that aspect is BEYOND careful and adamant about safety, cleanliness, and creating an exceptional standard for all aspects of meals as food is a big hi light for our elderly loved ones. It's a relief to know he is so dedicated to providing tasty and safe meals to the residents. The staff helps facilitate FaceTime calls & Whattsapp video calls when I cannot be there with my Dad. The pandemic has only confirmed for me that this facility goes above & beyond now risking their lives and their families lives by serving the residents they so eagerly and lovingly serve. I don't know WHAT I WOULD EVER DO WITHOUT THEM and feel beyond BLESSED to not have to find that out. I am FOREVER grateful & THANK THEM WITH ALL MY HEART for the level of care my Father is given. It is clean and beautiful and climate comfortable and there are many activities for residents. Once I was hospitalized and they bought MY DAD to ME for a visit!!!! From Celina-Executive Director, Denise in Memory Care, Norm in Food Srvcs, Susie-the patient-family Liaison, & Krystianne- I forgot her title because she is doing SO much to assist and seems to wear many hats!!! Linda & Yvonne & Patricia-Concierge's, ALLLLL the careworkers-ALL the staff-too many to name- EVERYONE IS SOOOO AMAZING- ONE BIG FAMILY and I TRULY LOVE THEM ALL!!!
