Maximizing Independence, Boosting Strength & Elevating Quality of Life
The Kensington White Plains is proud to partner with HealthPRO® Heritage, a regional leader in outstanding therapy services, and offer comprehensive rehab services, present wellness opportunities, and promote acute health education.
Together we provide the most current, full-service Assisted Living and Memory Care solutions to physical, occupational, and speech therapies.
In partnership with The Kensington’s own fitness, wellness, and rehab programs, specially trained HealthPRO Heritage therapists are available to provide on-site skilled services to maintain the progress achieved in therapy, and provide an ideal environment for a continuum of care.
At The Kensington White Plains, we recognize that strengthening the body is only one part of a successful rehabilitation experience. So, we offer comprehensive therapeutic services that include not only a multi-disciplinary team of licensed professionals and state-of-the-art equipment.
Research shows that whole-person wellness is the key to improving quality of life and achieving successful aging.
