The Kensington Reston review
My husband rebounded from 2-person assist to independence! It is expensive, but caring for a 2-person assist resident takes a lot of work.

A great place for your loved one
. Although I can say nothing bad about The Kensington 14K per month for any care facility in the US is too much. So I think I am more disappointed in the American care system than anything else. Absolutely loved the facility and the care they gave my mother.

Tour of The Kensington
We toured The Kensington Reston during our search for an Assisted Living facility for my loved one. This facility was really special! However, it was on another planet in terms of cost.

I Can't Recommend Them Highly Enough
The Kensington is better than the other communities I have been in. The community is exemplary. The responsiveness of the staff is wonderful! The staff respond quickly to the call buttons when pushed by the residents. The staff are cordial to my loved one, and have developed a rapport with them. The staff interaction with the family has been great! They are willing to meet with the family anytime that we need, and this goes for the management team as well. They are willing to partner with the family to ensure that our loved one is receiving the care they need. There is entertainment almost daily to entertain the residents. The activities overall are fabulous. The physical and occupational therapy has made great strides in assisting my loved one in making progress to regain their strength.

Would Recommend Negotiating a Better Price
I have mixed thoughts. It's really a great place except for the money. When they admitted my loved one, they classified her at a high care level, which is very expensive. They are refusing to lower it now, even though she's getting much better. Also, we had some problems with the care in the beginning. For instance, she went without a shower for the first two months. But slowly but surely the care has been getting straightened out. Other than the money, it's very nice and she's happy there. Her mental state is an awful lot better since moving in. And their in-house PT has been very good.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Virginia regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Virginia regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored The Kensington Reston 8.5 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
