The Kensington Reston is a senior living community opening in Reston, VA in Summer 2025, and it'll offer assisted living and memory care for older adults who need support. The building itself has a welcoming exterior with a mix of stone and siding, a covered entryway, and modern touches, plus an enclosed patio with outdoor seating, shade umbrellas, and relaxing spaces, which means folks can spend time outside comfortably when the weather's nice. Inside you'll find a lot of thoughtfully decorated sitting areas, some with fireplaces or pianos, built-in shelves, plenty of natural light, and artwork, so there are places for residents to relax, gather, or enjoy some peace and quiet, and the dining spaces come with elegant touches like botanical artwork. For memory care, there are three dedicated living areas, with special programs called Connections and Haven that offer care for residents at different stages of memory loss, using calming rooms with big windows and white bedding, which feels soothing and easy to navigate. This community is part of the Kensington Development Communities network and keeps things personal by naming rooms and programs in its own way, always trying to make folks feel at home while offering 24-hour care, nursing, and support for people living with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, as well as help after a hospital or rehab stay.
Residents have access to services like Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Nursing & Rehab, and Adult Day Care, which means people can stay even when their needs change, and support is available for daily activities like bathing or dressing, so everyone can get the help needed each day. The Kensington Reston focuses a lot on well-being, offering things like medication management, laundry and housekeeping, meals by a professional chef with dietary options, and transportation, plus amenities such as walking paths, fitness center, a salon/barber, pet-friendly policies, and a theater room, while folks can also enjoy Wi-Fi, cable TV, and in-room kitchen or laundry features in different floor plans. The caregivers here work with a promise to show compassion and treat folks like family, sticking to a care model that's a bit broader than traditional assisted living, with a full spectrum of help including clinical support, rehabilitation, end-of-life care, and couples care if needed.
The daily life at The Kensington Reston stays busy and social, with a full calendar of life enrichment activities, including music, gardening club, religious services, arts and crafts, day trips, grocery shopping, games, holiday celebrations, and social gatherings, helping everyone stay active, engaged, and a part of a community, and there's a seasonal newsletter, a blog on memory and Parkinson's care, community events, a Kensington Club, and even a caregiver club for updates. Residents can join communal dining, make reservations, invite guests for meals, or even get room service if they prefer to stay in, while the building's welcoming design-complete with outdoor patios with pergolas and raised garden beds-supports both quiet time and daily socialization. The Kensington Reston's team provides 24-hour care and nursing, with specialized staff for memory programs, focusing on giving everyone the respect and support they'd want for their own families, and the community's doors stay open all day, every day.
