Moving a loved one to an assisted living community is an emotionally charged process with many moving parts. Our owners, leadership, and teams—who have worked in and around seniors for most of their careers—never met a family who wanted to endure the experience twice. So, from a place of deep understanding and in the spirit of thoughtful service, The Kensington White Plains obtained an enhanced assisted living license (EALR). Acuity care levels and individual needs are met with this licensing, and The Kensington’s approach.
Our license enables us to provide not only traditional assisted living support but also a full spectrum of clinical care that addresses challenging medical conditions. We are trained, staffed, and legally able to care for residents who are the frailest of the frail or sickly. In other words, we welcome residents whose care needs are complex, and we don’t ask them to leave if their care needs become more complex over time.
We believe the comfort of familiarity is precious and an important contribution to the well-being of our residents. As a result, we have ensured our ability to help them easily and comfortably make our home theirs, for as long as they choose. Other nearby communities hold licenses for only a fraction of their beds. If the health of their residents deteriorates to the degree that they require enhanced care, then they must move out if no licensed beds are available.
Here, EVERY BED in our community is licensed for enhanced assisted living support and levels of acuity care. Our care is more comprehensive than that of other nearby assisted living providers, which distinguishes us from these other resources. We are able and willing to assist residents who need:
