Overview of The Kensington White Plains
Located in the City of White Plains neighborhood of White Plains, New York, The Kensington White Plains is a senior living community offering assisted living and memory care. The community is about half a mile from downtown White Plains and only 0.1 mile from White Plains Hospital. It is operated by White Plains Kensington, LLC, and has served residents for about 10 years, giving the team an established approach to long-term care.
The 130-bed community is in a mid-rise building. It offers studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom residences to meet different needs and budgets. Memory care is available alongside assisted living, which can help residents remain in the same community if their care needs change over time. Rehabilitation services are also available, including specialized support for residents living with Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis. This can be an important consideration for families looking for a community that can manage more complex health needs.
Residents have access to enrichment programs, fitness and recreation activities, and transportation services that can make appointments and errands more convenient. The community also welcomes pets, which can make the move easier for residents who want to keep a companion animal.
State inspections have reviewed the community’s compliance with resident care and recordkeeping requirements over multiple visits in recent years. Inspection findings have focused mainly on documentation and resident protection practices rather than direct resident care. However, the results have varied from one inspection to another. Families touring The Kensington White Plains should ask how these areas are currently managed.
The neighborhood has a Walk Score of 94, which is highly walkable. Residents and visiting family can reach many nearby shops and services on foot without a car.
