The Kensington Redondo Beach

Our Mom moved into Assisted Living at the Kensington 2 1/2 years ago because it became too difficult for her to manage alone at home. We couldn't be happier with our choice! The staff is incredibly attentive to every detail. For example, they bring her a cup of her beloved coffee without being asked at the daily(!) musical happy hour. They evaluate Mom regularly and keep us informed of changes. We can easily consult with the responsive on-site nursing or physical therapy staff if we have any questions. They are kind, caring and supportive and look after Mom like family, because they know her so well. They welcome us like family too! We often schedule to join Mom for a meal when we visit. The food is excellent with a new menu daily, though as vegetarians/pescatarians, we'd love a few more options ;) . They are good about accommodating special requests, though. Mom is out of her room a lot – there are people to see and things to do. She's found her "crew" whom she eats with daily, which means we no longer worry about her being lonely. The environment is immaculate and tasteful, with indoor and outdoor public areas that are a pleasure to hang out in. I would recommend the Kensington without hesitation.

My parent(s) were/are at this great Sr. Living facility. I say this because my father passed there but mom is still a resident. The care that the staff embodied to my parents was/is incredible. Everyone is so personable and knows their job. The dining facility and food preparation is out of this world. The special events for the residents and their family is second to none. There is no detailed spared. Additionally, they have medical staff on site which is very comforting for families. I would highly recommend Kensington RB to anyone looking to place their loved one.

After extensive research on assisted living facilities in the area, we settled on the Kensington. It’s now been three months since my mother moved in and we couldn’t be more satisfied. The staff is caring, attentive and accommodative. The food is excellent. The grounds are pleasant and well maintained. And there are plenty of activities to keep residents engaged and socialized. It’s a well-run organization that has exceeded our expectations.

The Kensington Redondo Beach, a beautiful Assisted Living/Memory Care community just two blocks from the Pacific Ocean, provides exceptional care to residents. We have watched as our mother has quickly regained her strength, largely due to the positive, proactive, highly professional and caring atmosphere at the Kensington. Staff members genuinely know the residents (and their families) and their needs. One of the many unique strengths of the Kensington is that RNs, LVNs, 1-1 aides, and PT/OT are all on-site 24/7. We know our mother is safe, and a nurse is always readily available should she need the care, night or day. Besides the elegant living spaces, dining halls, libraries, art room, and other nicely appointed meeting areas, the Kensington has excellent, freshly made meals. Our mother is a discerning cook, and she attests daily to the deliciousness of the healthy meals there. Live music is provided daily for the very popular Happy Hour, which also attracts guests of residents. In addition, the activities are unparalleled and include outings, lectures, art classes, exercise classes, discussion groups, as well as regular walks to the beach, among many other activities that continue to the evening on a daily basis. We also commend the excellent administrative staff that supported the family as we transitioned our mom to the Assisted Living community. They provided detailed instructions regarding the move. We appreciated the fact that upon inquiring about a tour, Kelly sent us detailed descriptions of the living spaces available as well as costs for the different levels of care. The Kensington is transparent about costs, and the team works with the resident and family members to evaluate and assess levels of care. They are also willing to re-evaluate in a timely manner so that residents are getting the appropriate level of care they need. We thank the staff at Kensington for supporting our mother in creating her new home in a very dignified manner in this phase of her life.

Visited my friend Linda in Connections last week. I met with the wonderful Connections team. Claudia the Manager and Wendy the Supervisor in training were exceptional. I have no doubt the care they have for all residents with brain changes (I learned from them) is genuine. I look forward to visiting more often and join one of the activities offered by Gina. I recommend going during happy hour. One of the Assistants will make homemade appetizers to enjoy.
