The Village at Kensington Place sits on a quiet, landscaped campus among the wooded Hanging Hills of Meriden, CT, and you'll find it offers several kinds of living arrangements, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Skilled Nursing, Memory Care, and short-term Respite Care, so people can stay as their needs change. The setting feels like being at a country estate, with big outdoor spaces, a terrace with wide views for outdoor dining when the weather's nice, grassy courtyards, and inviting places to sit outside or take a walk, plus the inside's got a warm, home-like feeling with comfortable common areas, plush seats, and even a grand piano and artwork for everyone to enjoy, and if folks want to get together, there's a billiards room, community room with poker and dining tables, and a private dining room for family events or celebrations.
The community has one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and studio apartments-many with private bathrooms, walk-in closets, kitchenettes, and patios or balconies-so people can find a space that fits them, and they let folks bring their pets or join pet therapy activities. Staff provides help with daily tasks, housekeeping, grooming, and medication management, and Memory Care has extra security and activities for people with Alzheimer's and other types of dementia, including mental exercises and tailored care plans. Nurses and associates support residents 24/7, plus there's a skilled nursing residence onsite for higher medical needs, and they offer hospice services for comfort and care near the end of life.
Some people like to join fitness, arts, or leisure activities, which often take place both inside and out, and whether it's a holiday or just a regular day, there's almost always something happening-sometimes outings, sometimes worship services, sometimes a book in the library or a stroll around the walking paths. Meals are cooked by chefs, served in a bright and inviting dining room, and they can modify food for special diets, with snacks available too. Residents can use the fitness center, the beauty and barber salon, computers, internet, and transportation services if they need a ride to appointments or shopping, and there's wheelchair accessible showers and other features to make daily living easier.
The Village at Kensington Place welcomes couples, singles, and even visitors for short-term stays after a hospital stay, with respite care to give caregivers a break, and because they have a full range of care options, people can age in place without having to move somewhere new if their health changes. The leadership and staff keep the programs running smoothly and focus on each person's unique needs, making sure everyone feels included and supported in their own way.
