Overview of The Village at Kensington Place

Facebook LinkedIn

The Village at Kensington Place offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Meriden, CT. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps a private living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. Respite care gives a resident a short term stay while a usual caregiver travels or recovers.

There are 134 beds. That gives the community room for residents receiving different levels of care, and the assisted living, memory care, and respite services may suit a family whose needs could change over time. Studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom housing options are available, including layouts for a resident living alone or a couple moving together. The starting price is $4,000 per month, giving families an initial figure for budgeting.

A Walk Score of 42 places the area in a car dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride rather than a short walk. Transportation is available for residents who need help getting beyond the community. On site, a pool, salon and spa, and gazebo offer spaces for recreation, personal care, and outdoor relaxation.

Residents can take part in art and music therapy, gardening, live music, educational exhibits, and morning exercise classes. The Benchmark Strong signature program, wellness programming, religious services, and rehabilitation services add structured options for physical activity, creative engagement, spiritual practice, and recovery. Pets are allowed, so a resident may be able to keep a pet as part of daily life at the community. The range of care and housing options may suit a family seeking support for someone who needs help with daily tasks, memory care supervision, short term respite, or a setting that can accommodate changing needs.
