Berkshire Kensington sits at 1800 Kensington Drive and provides senior apartment living with services like heat, air conditioning, hot water, electricity, and trash removal already included, which makes paying bills much simpler, and residents can pick from studios, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, some starting at $1,125 per month and offering anywhere from 575 to 807 square feet, and the apartments come with air conditioning, full kitchens with appliances, dishwashers, and cable TV hook-ups, which is good for those who like to keep things familiar and easy. Residents can bring their own furniture to make the space their own, and pets are welcome, both dogs and cats, which matters to a lot of people. The building is fully renovated, and Oakbrook Corporation manages it, keeping things organized and safe with a controlled access entry system and professional on-site management, plus 24-hour emergency maintenance. The property offers garage and surface parking, even attached garages, with elevator service to all floors, so moving around is easier, and laundry facilities are right there on-site.
Berkshire Kensington focuses on independence, privacy, and safety, serving adults 55 and older who want to live on their own while having help nearby if needed, including nurses on staff, a podiatrist available, and therapists for physical, occupational, and speech therapy. The facility provides several kinds of care, such as independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, and even home care for those who want to stay in their own apartment with a bit of extra support, and medication management is available as well. Residents get complimentary transportation for appointments and outings, and parking for their cars, so getting around town isn't hard.
Plenty of activities help residents stay busy and social, like educational programs, entertainment, exercise in the gym, and events that encourage friendships, all planned by a friendly, trained staff. There's a chapel for quiet time, a community library, computer stations, club rooms, a game room, and even a Grandchildren's Play Room for when family visits. Residents can enjoy an indoor shuffleboard court, outings offsite, beauty and barber services, outdoor common spaces like a gazebo and pergola, as well as resale shops for small shopping trips. Nutritious meals are prepared by chefs and meal planners, so there's a focus on health and well-being, and hospice care can be arranged for those who need extra support.
Smoking isn't allowed indoors, and safety features are set up for seniors with memory problems to keep everyone protected. Community areas help bring people together, but private space is always respected. Berkshire Kensington sits close to community activities, shopping, dining, healthcare, and the bus line, so residents don't have to go far for what they need. The place has received awards like the Best of Senior Living All-Star and has been recognized for high standards in care and support. Berkshire Kensington offers a simple, supported way to live with access to care and community, with options for privacy and help, so people can enjoy both comfort and security as they age.
