LSS Kensington Place sits in a quiet, wooded area between Bexley and Gahanna in Columbus, Ohio, and folks living there get different types of help as they need it, like independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, memory care at Grace House, short-term respite care, and rehab, all under the same roof, which means people don't have to move far as their needs change. Rooms come in several styles and sizes-studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments-some with full kitchens, and you'll find comfortable living spaces, large windows, and garden or rooftop patio views, while some areas have outdoor seating with colorful flowers and shady umbrellas, so there's always somewhere nice to sit either by yourself or with friends. Meals come from a chef in a bright dining room set up to feel like a real restaurant with white linens and chandeliers, and there are other dining options like a private dining room if a group wants some extra privacy, and staff take care to offer meals that suit many dietary needs.
The memory care area-Grace House-offers a safe place for people who have Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, and the staff use individual care plans and daily activities meant for people with memory loss, keeping the area locked so folks don't wander by accident. There's always a licensed nurse on site, assistants available 24/7, and an emergency system ready to go if someone needs quick help, and the whole community has cameras and a 24-hour security team, which helps families feel at ease. People can also get help with laundry, linens, housekeeping, medication, or getting ready for the day, and the maintenance team keeps things tidy.
A fitness center with all sorts of equipment, an indoor swimming pool, walking trails out in the woods, and a SeniorFit program with personal trainers help residents stay active, and a massage therapist often visits, too. There's a library with a fireplace and lots of books, a beauty salon and barber, a media room for movies or game nights, and a common area with soft chairs and a piano, so people tend to gather and visit together, and the full activities calendar has things like crafts, religious services, exercise groups, and social get-togethers if folks want to join in-plus there's weekly Bible study and Shabbat services in the chapel with spiritual support for many faiths, and pet-friendly rules for those who have cats or dogs.
Transportation is free for appointments, errands, or special events around town, there's safe parking for those still driving, and guest rooms for visitors, so family can stay close if needed. Memory care has limited spots, so staff can tailor care, and all the nurses and helpers are described as kind, helpful, and patient by people who live there. Linen and laundry services, a secure place to store things, on-site haircuts, and medication management are all part of daily life, and people who live at Kensington Place often say the community feels friendly and easy to get along in. LSS Kensington Place has gotten praise for its caring approach, high cleanliness, and thoughtful staff, plus it picked up a Best of Senior Living 2025 award, and people tend to recommend it to others looking for a gentle, respectful place to live in their later years.
