When a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, choosing a care community can feel overwhelming. Families often ask: “Who will truly understand my parent’s needs?” “Where will they be safe?” “Will they still feel like themselves?” At Kensington Place Redwood City, we hear you—and we’re here to help.
Here are five reasons why families throughout the Bay Area place their trust in our dedicated memory care community.
1. We Specialize Exclusively in Memory Care
Unlike other communities that offer assisted or independent living alongside memory care, Kensington Place is entirely focused on dementia and Alzheimer’s support. Our two secure neighborhoods—Connections and Haven—serve individuals at all stages of cognitive decline.
- Connections supports early to mid-stage dementia
- Haven supports advanced memory loss with high-acuity needs
This focus allows our team to deliver care with unparalleled depth and sensitivity.
2. 24/7 Licensed Nursing and Positive Approach to Care®
At Kensington Place Redwood City, we’re proud to be a Positive Approach to Care® (PAC) designated community, embracing Teepa Snow’s proven techniques to enhance connection, dignity, and quality of life for those with dementia.
Our clinically advanced care model includes:
- On-site licensed nurses are available 24/7 for continuous health monitoring and support
- Expert medication management and oversight of chronic conditions
- Close collaboration with physicians and dementia specialists for tailored treatment plans
- A true aging in place philosophy, minimizing transitions even as care needs evolve
With PAC-informed training, our team engages each resident in a way that honors their abilities, preferences, and potential, ensuring safety, comfort, and deep human connection every step of the way.
3. Personalized Life Enrichment and Daily Engagement
Purpose and connection are part of daily life here. Our Life Enrichment program offers activities 7 days a week, tailored to each resident’s interests and abilities, such as:
- Art and music therapy
- Reminiscence storytelling and guided meditation
- Gardening and pet visits
- Intergenerational programs with local schools
We believe every day offers opportunities for joy.
4. Dining With Dignity and Delight
Our Dining program promotes nutrition, independence, and social interaction with:
- Chef-prepared meals in small-group settings
- Adaptive utensils and calm dining environments
- Menus tailored to cognitive and dietary needs
- Mealtime assistance with warmth and respect
We love when families join us at the table—and many do! Sharing a meal together is a beautiful way to stay connected and be part of your loved one’s daily life.
5. Families Are Part of Our Community Too
