They are truly caring. The staff, from the Administration, food service, maintenance, transportation, etc. EVERYTHING ! There were always something for them to do. The day to day interactions with staff and residents is wonderful. The rooms are clean. My mother and father were there and they loved living there. This facility is top notch ! I wish I could rate them higher than 5 stars.

My Father and Mother both resided at The Kensington. They loved how the facility became their home and the staff was family. The facilities were spotless, the meals delicious, and a variety of activities. Thank you Kensington family for being with my parents when I couldn't be there.

My mother has resided at the Kensington for almost 10 years now and has thoroughly enjoyed her time there. The staff work tirelessly and with respect to meet the varied needs of the residents and have become like family to my Mom. In addition there are a wide range of engaging activities and opportunities to socialize and interact with other residents and the community. The friendships made within the walls of the Kensington are a blessing to all who reside within.

I was put in touch with The Kensington for evaluation of my mother for a short-term of permanent place to live. I am very pleased that we chose The Kensington. They offer activities on a daily basis that the residents can participate in (or not if they prefer). The services provided have relieved my stress on making sure my mother eats, gets the proper medications and gets where she needs to if I'm not available to drive her. The staff is nothing but patient, kind, and helpful to my mother and me. High praises to The Kensington! Thank you for the wonderful service you are providing for my mother and her family!

The Kensington's downtown location is a definite plus, however lack of adequate parking around the facility is a concern. In fact, the Kensington's own shuttle van must park on the sidewalk in order to pick up and drop off residents. Inside, the decorum is warm and homey, with old wood furniture and rich carpets throughout. Overall, the feeling is quite elegant and not as "industrial" as some other places I visited. Meals and served at family style tables and residents may order off a menu, which changes regularly. The staff was very friendly and attentive to both me and my mother. They did a wonderful job of showing us around the facility, and also privately discussing costs and payment options. Typical assisted living services such as medication disbursement, laundry and cleaning services are provided. Overall, I was quite impressed with the Kensington and think it would make an excellent next home for my mother.

About a year ago, my family and I toured The Kensington to see if my grandparents would like it or not. It's located in a neat old building in downtown Beatrice, but my grandparents didn't seem to like that there was a lot of traffic nearby. The facility seemed clean and nicely decorated, my grandparents liked the fact that they could go to the dining area instead of cooking if they wanted to. The staff was really friendly and professional and answered all of my grandma's questions. It didn't have the typical "nursing home smell". The residents we saw looked happy and busy. The apartment itself was roomy enough for visitors but my grandma thought it was a little small. I think the only real issue with the facility is that it isn't very scenic. If it were out in the country I think my grandparents would have preferred that. In the end, they decided they wanted to wait a while before doing assisted living and will continue living in their house.
