The Kensington White Plains

The Kensington White Plains sits as a licensed residential community offering many levels of care for older adults, and while some detailed information wasn't available, what stands out is how people can move in and get what they need as things change over the years-from independent living for active seniors who want a social, simple lifestyle without chores, to assisted living where kind staff help with things like bathing, dressing, and keeping track of medicine, and to memory care that's set up for seniors dealing with Alzheimer's or other dementias, including special housing arrangements and therapies that help reduce confusion and wandering. The place includes on-site skilled nursing care for those who need more medical support, and it's a Certified Community Partner in Parkinson's Care from the Parkinson's Foundation, with certain staff trained for those needs. Couples can live together if one or both need extra help, and there's also rehabilitation and higher acuity care available on campus, which means people don't need to move somewhere else as needs increase. Life here seems centered around wellness through community activities, nutritious meals from chefs and meal planners, basic suites and floor plans, and things like virtual 360 tours so people can look around before moving. The staff have a reputation for being friendly and helpful to both residents and families, and plenty of programs focus on keeping minds and bodies active, with lots of chances to join social and physical activities and even get resources for family caregivers. People who want to stay in their own homes can get trained home care aides for companionship and other non-medical help. There's meal planning with quality ingredients, and many lifestyle amenities, and residents often talk about the compassion among team members and a strong sense of community, since The Kensington White Plains has been supporting families and seniors since about 2011.
