Assisted Living
Kensington’s Assisted Living options provide a personalised balance of assistance and independence. Residents live in their private apartments but enjoy the convenience of access to in-house amenities such as meals, housekeeping, and maintenance.
In addition to in-house programs, residents are encouraged to explore their local community and build relationships. Excursions such as docent-guided museum visits, shopping trips to nearby malls, and enjoying lunch with new friends are a part of the regular schedule at Kensington.
This is a community where family comes first. Whether your family is biological or not, you are considered a part of the extended Kensington family. Residents are warmly welcomed into a neighbourhood where heritage and tradition are celebrated.
Memory Care
The village’s Assisted Living and Memory Care apartments are designed specifically for those with memory loss. They offer 12-16 hours of daily nursing care and help with medications, bathing, dressing, transferring, etc. Staff members also assist with arranging doctors’ appointments and can provide transportation.
The community is in Kensington, a town celebrating its heritage with historic districts and tours. It has many restaurants, bookstores, antique and consignment shops, and a post office. For more information about the Kensington lifestyle village, click here.

Health and Wellness
You may think that health and wellness are synonymous, but the two concepts have some critical differences. While health is the state of your body, wellness is a way to achieve health holistically through various factors.
For example, physical wellness encompasses everything from eating a balanced diet to exercising regularly. It also includes avoiding risky behaviours, such as smoking or unprotected sex, to keep your body in the best possible shape.
At Kensington Park, we believe in a healthy lifestyle for all our residents, regardless of their level of care. That’s why we provide a variety of fitness classes, such as Senior Fit and Yoga, for our residents to participate in. We’re also conveniently located near various amenities, such as a CVS Pharmacy and Chicken + Whiskey. We even have our chapel where you can attend services with family and friends.

What is a Lifestyle Village?
A lifestyle village is a specialised community designed around specific demographics or life interests to offer a more tailored living experience. This type of enclave attracts a wide range of individuals, from retirees to semi-retired and working downsizers, seeking to strike the right balance between connection, independence, and a social environment that aligns with their passions.
Like retirement villages, most lifestyle communities offer a range of amenities but differ in how they operate and are managed. Most will provide varying care services and facilities, and residents will usually have access to 24/7 assistance in an emergency.
When considering a lifestyle village, it is essential to do your homework. Visit a few and talk to residents about their experiences. It’s also worth seeking financial advice and understanding all the costs involved, including ongoing fees.
