Ken-Ton Presbyterian Village focuses on people who need different levels of assistance, from independent living apartments for active seniors to memory care and assisted living for those who need help with daily activities, like bathing, dressing, and medication reminders, although residents must manage their own medicines. There's a strong focus on those with Alzheimer's or dementia, and special measures help keep them safe and supported, such as secured entries and an emergency pull-cord system in every apartment. The facility offers a mix of activities-game nights, exercise programs, arts, movie nights, and community-sponsored events-which help people stay active, social, and engaged.
Residents can choose from one or two-bedroom apartments with living rooms, full kitchens with a stove and refrigerator, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, walk-in showers, carpets, cable TV, and phone hookups. Apartments are pet-friendly on certain floors. Meals use healthy ingredients and can accommodate special diets, including diabetes-friendly options, and all-day dining happens in a full-sized dining room. Extra help like on-site laundry and dry-cleaning, weekly housekeeping, and on-site skilled nursing and religious services are all available.
The Village offers regular transportation for trips to stores, doctors, or special outings, and has convenient guest suites for family and friends. The building is secure, with a 24-hour call system and staff always available. There's parking for residents and off-street parking for visitors, plus common spaces like a library, arts room, garden with seating, and walking paths among mature trees. The setting is safe and includes mature gardens, and it's within easy walking distance from groceries, retail stores, and has a walk score of 71. Ken-Ton Presbyterian Village is close to downtown and the Boulevard Mall, making it convenient for shopping and entertainment.
Independent adults who want a simple, maintenance-free life can use services like yard care and snow shoveling. Home care aides visit for those living at home who need non-medical help or companionship. All buildings and apartments have smoke detectors and heat sensors, emergency pull cords, and are ADA compliant. On-site service coordinators help connect residents to supportive and medical services, and VA benefit advice and cost assistance are available. Units are subsidized for income-eligible seniors, including a mix of HUD and Section 8 help, so rent is based on what residents can afford. The community stays friendly, safe, and supportive for all its residents, and people seem to appreciate having so many day-to-day needs handled for them.
