Join Us for Our Monthly Family Support Group

Our Kensington Place Virtual Family Support Group is open to all family and friends of Kensington Place residents. This supportive, discussion-based group will explore issues related to navigating your loved one’s aging journey. Because YOU, as a caregiver, matter to us as much as our residents do!

We understand that care giving for someone can, at times, be a demanding commitment. We also believe it is one you should not undertake alone. That’s why we strive to preserve your well-being by helping you stay positive, manage fatigue and make the most of time spent with your loved one.

Let Kensington Place be your trusted resource for information and the comforting ally you need. Join us to share time connecting with other caregivers and discussing common challenges in a welcoming, private setting.

At Kensington Senior Living, we promise to “love and care for your family as we do our own.” And that includes you. We strive to improve your quality of life as well as that of your loved one. So we keep up with the latest news and advances in health and wellness for seniors and caregivers, and we give you access to information and resources as we acquire them.

Join us this February as experts from Columbia University enlighten us with information about women, hormones and the link between dementia and menopause. Given that two-thirds of the nation’s caregivers are women and are at a higher risk of developing memory impairment, we thought it important to share the multiple steps you can take to protect brain health and reduce the chance of cognitive decline.
