I didn't know it was possible to get the level of care that Kensington Park provides. My mother became hostile and combative when she got dementia, and the staff at Kensington Park took it all in stride, loving her for her spirit and independence. The staff at Kensington Park all takes a pledge that they will love the residents as if there were their own family, and the pledge really means something to them. In addition, they are all trained superbly in how to diffuse a situation where a resident gets agitated (which happens frequently in a dementia care setting), so they're able to minimize accidents, falls, and adverse outcomes. When my mother was in her final days, virtually everyone on the staff came in to say goodbye to her, hugged and kissed her, and told her how much they appreciated what they'd learned from her. The tenderness and compassion was beyond anything I could have imagined. If you can get a spot at Kensington Park, grab it -- my mother was grossly neglected at another, very upscale facility -- this one you can really trust.
