Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care & Respite Care · Columbus, OH

Overview of Kensington Place

Kensington Place, located in Columbus, OH, includes independent living, assisted living, memory care, and respite care. Self-sufficient residents maintain a personal residence and rely on community services, yet no one comes for daily assistance. Assisted living means an individual’s own apartment, along with staff available to assist a resident with dressing, bathing, and taking medications.

Memory care is available for residents who may wander. Staff supervise the memory care section, and it remains secured. A family can rely on respite for a brief period when its regular caregiver has a scheduled trip or a recovery to undergo.

Since a resident can transition from one level to another without exiting, the location suits individuals whose needs increase. There are 83 beds in studios, one-bedroom, and three-bedroom units. The bigger designs suit couples or those desiring multiple bedrooms, and pets are welcome as well.

Erin Stucky is the administrator. A Walk Score of 30 indicates that the area is car-dependent, signifying that most errands outside the community require a vehicle or someone else to drive.
