At Kensington Place Redwood City, we recognize that caregiving isn’t just a profession, it’s a commitment of heart and energy. It takes resilience, compassion, and a willingness to show up fully for others every day.
That’s why our approach to caregiver benefits is grounded in a simple yet powerful philosophy: we care for you as you care for others.
Our community is built on the understanding that team members thrive when they are supported physically, emotionally, and professionally. In return, residents receive more consistent, compassionate care.
It’s a circle of well-being, and at the center is a deep respect for those who give so much of themselves.
What Sets Kensington Place Redwood City Apart?
When caregivers feel seen and supported, they can truly make a difference in residents’ lives.
That’s why our career benefits go beyond the expected. We focus on building a workplace culture where you can feel confident, connected, and cared for.
Here are just a few of the ways we prioritize your well-being.
1. Flexible Scheduling That Honors Your Life Outside of Work
We know that many caregivers juggle multiple roles, whether it’s raising a family, attending school, or managing other responsibilities.
At Kensington Place Redwood City, flexible scheduling is more than a buzzword. It’s part of how we show respect for your time and your life.
Our team works with each employee to create shift options that promote balance. Need consistent days off for classes? Looking to swap a shift to care for a loved one?
We do our best to accommodate because we understand that life happens, and our community thrives when our team feels balanced and supported.
2. Mental Health Support for Emotional Resilience
Caregiving can be rewarding and joyful, but also emotionally intense. That’s why we offer mental health resources designed to help our team process challenges, prevent burnout, and protect their own well-being.
Support includes:
- Access to mental health counseling
- Workshops on stress management and emotional wellness
- A confidential hotline for support
- Peer discussion groups for shared experiences
These programs create a safe space where caregivers can reflect, recharge, and feel heard. We encourage all team members to prioritize their emotional health, because sustainable caregiving starts with self-care.
3. On-Site Fitness and Wellness Opportunities
Physical health plays a key role in caregiving stamina. That’s why we offer on-site wellness options designed to energize and empower.
Team members have access to:
- Guided fitness classes
- Walking paths and movement breaks
- Wellness challenges and incentives
- Nutritional guidance
These activities promote energy, reduce stress, and contribute to a vibrant workplace. Just as our residents benefit from engaging wellness programs, our caregivers do too.
4. Peer-Support Groups That Foster Connection
Sometimes, the best source of support is someone who truly understands what you’re going through.
That’s why we foster peer-support groups, regularly scheduled meetups where team members can share experiences, ask questions, and encourage one another.
These gatherings create a sense of belonging and remind everyone that they’re not alone.
Whether discussing strategies for caring for residents with dementia or simply checking in on each other’s lives, these groups provide emotional nourishment in a profession that gives so much.
5. Paid Training and Continuing Education
Caregiver growth is a top priority. Our training programs include:
- Sponsored CNA and Med Tech certification
- Dementia care courses
- Hands-on skill-building workshops
- Leadership and career advancement tracks
Not only do these programs strengthen team skills, but they also help employees feel invested in the company. Every step of progress is celebrated, and every new goal is supported.
6. Competitive Pay and Appreciation Incentives
A supportive culture also means recognizing hard work. Kensington Place Redwood City offers competitive wages and opportunities for performance bonuses, milestone rewards, and recognition programs that celebrate excellence.
We believe appreciation should be ongoing, not just reserved for annual events. Whether through a simple thank-you, a team lunch, or public recognition during meetings, we strive to let caregivers know their efforts matter.
Why These Benefits Matter
By prioritizing caregiver well-being, through mental health support, flexible scheduling, and peer connection, employers align with NIOSH’s Total Worker Health® approach, which shows that integrating workplace safety and wellness directly improves job satisfaction, retention, and quality of care.
At Kensington Place Redwood City, we’ve seen this firsthand. When our caregivers feel fulfilled and cared for, our residents thrive. Our Promise to love and care for your family as we do our own extends to our team too.
Hear the Impact from Within
While we don’t publish individual testimonials, we can confidently say that many of our long-term team members stay because they feel valued. Some started as caregivers and moved into supervisory roles, supported by the very benefits listed above.
Others came to us from workplaces where burnout was common and found here a renewed sense of purpose and a community that lifts one another. It’s not just about the perks, it’s about the people.
