    Lovely community, great staff, pricey

    I live at Modena in Kensington and overall I'm very happy - the building is beautiful and hotel-like, the grounds and fountain are lovely, the food is consistently delicious, and the activities are varied and engaging. The staff and executive director are outstanding, responsive and kind; maintenance and housekeeping have been quick and helpful, and move-in was easy. Downsides: it's expensive and not a CCRC or medical campus, so many families end up hiring outside aides which raises cost, and rent increases have been a sting. Early on some services (bathing, laundry, meals) were inconsistent but largely improved after several weeks; pendant/wrist call response can be slow and there are a few accessibility quirks for wheelchair users. Hospice coordination was disappointing in my case, and I had to stay on top of care at times due to occasional understaffing. If you can afford it and want a modern, active community with excellent staff and food, I'd recommend it with those caveats.

    About Modena Reserve at Kensington

    Modena Reserve at Kensington has a wide range of living options like Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care, and the folks there made sure the building looks nice with its brick and white siding wrapping around a quiet courtyard that's got a bubbling fountain, neat flower gardens, and trees you can see from paved walking paths, all mixed in with touches from the town's own history, so you feel like you belong in the area and not somewhere out of place. Life's comfortable and easy with apartments in different sizes and styles at different price points, and you can pick what works best, and they keep up with the latest technology, so things like safety and convenience are right there for folks to use, especially with a 24-hour call system for any kind of help or emergency.

    People get help with all kinds of daily needs, like bathing, dressing, and moving around, and you'll find a strong focus on personalized help, especially for those who need more hands-on care in Assisted Living or special programs in Memory Care, and they take care to have trained staff, even a Music Therapist (MT-BC), a Director of Building Operations, and an Executive Director, not to mention a healthcare team for things like medication management and health appointments which they'll help coordinate with your own doctors and therapists. There's a dementia waiver and a hospice waiver that shows the staff knows how to support those with more serious or changing needs, and you'll notice they take the "Design & Respect" approach seriously when it comes to Memory Care, with special layouts and everyday routines that help keep folks safe, respected, and as independent as possible.

    Residents like to stay busy with a solid Life Enrichment program, resident-run activities, and daily scheduled events, so there's always something like movie nights, gardening, or group get-togethers happening, and you can spend afternoons at Jackie's Salon for hair care, sip wine at The Capitol Club, or grab coffee at The District Café, where they serve up local roasted coffee, which folks seem to enjoy, and for special meals, an Executive Chef cooks in the Metropolitan Club with an eye for good food and nice presentation. The landscape stays in top shape with maintenance-free living, and you're right by places like The BH Warner Theatre if you want to go out, with the Kensington Train Station stop close by for visits or travel.

    The community's backed by Solera Senior Living, which pays attention to bettering care quality by bringing in fresh ideas and personal touches for every resident, whether someone's simply looking for active senior living or needs skilled nursing and continuing care, and you'll find bundled care programs so your services can be adapted if your needs change over time. It's also got a strong foundation in real estate management, development, and design, so the property and the building itself stay up-to-date and well-kept, focusing on letting residents connect with one another in shared spaces or quiet gardens. Meals, hospitality, safety features, and everyday maintenance work together so daily life is easy, and whether you like being with a group or want quiet time in the green spaces, Modena Reserve at Kensington gives residents real options for how they want to live and age on their own terms, all in a place that feels part of the local community.
