Overview of Kensington Park – Groves & Woodlands

Kensington Park, Groves & Woodlands offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Kensington, MD. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks, while independent living supports private living without daily care. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone who may be at risk of wandering, and the range of care levels may allow a resident’s needs to grow without moving to another community.

The community has 160 beds, placing it among larger communities with more residents, staff, and usually more programming. Rehabilitation services are available through the community, giving residents access to rehabilitation support without arranging it elsewhere. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet along during the move, and a Walk Score of 91 places the area in the walker’s paradise band, meaning daily errands do not require a car for someone who no longer drives.
