The Kensington in Walnut Creek is like an extended family for all the residents. My Mother Moved from a difficult situation back in April after my Father passed away and my entire family has been so impressed by the entire staffs caring and dedication. My Mother was grieving terribly when she first arrived and the staff has gone above and beyond to help her through this time. There are so many choices in the Bay area for retirement and memory care living, we toured 5 facilities in and around Walnut Creek and The Kensington really stood out. The residents all look so happy, enjoying being out and about with its beautiful surroundings. The gardens are well planned with many sitting area's and tables to share Picnic's with visiting family along with a Grand Dinning Room that has just opened for family members to enjoy as well. There is a Grand Piano in the entryway which my Mother enjoys playing daily. Thank you to everyone at the Kensington for welcoming my Mom and taking such good care of her! Our family feels so secure now, knowing Mom is in a safe environment with caring people. With warm regards, Ingrid Ericson

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, MOVE YOURSELF OR A FAMILY MEMBER TO THIS PLACE. They are not staffed properly, residents do not receive medications when required, food is terrible, care is minimal.

My father is a resident with some special needs at times. Whenever the need arises .Jemalia and the rest of the care team are thorough and comprehensive in taking care of whatever the situation calls for. Debbie and Penney have been extremely helpful in helping with our questions and needs for room selection and billing insurance. I cannot praise the staff enough for the help they've provided our family.

I went here for a toast masters meeting one time and it was really nice inside. I never been to a senior living facility but I wouldn't mind sending my nanner here. She'd love it. Looks expensive though.
