No two residents at The Kensington Reston have the same story, and that means no two care plans should be identical.
Our personalized assisted living in Reston approach centers on creating individualized plans that adapt to each person’s medical needs, lifestyle preferences, and personal goals.
Through our “clinical concierge” model, we ensure that care is not just about meeting needs, but about enhancing quality of life in a meaningful way.
What “Clinical Concierge” Really Means
A concierge in hospitality anticipates and fulfills requests before you even ask, and we take the same approach to care. The Kensington Reston’s clinical concierge team works as an extension of both the residents’ healthcare providers and their chosen support network, coordinating services down to the smallest detail.
This means:
- Seamless communication with physicians and specialists
- Proactive monitoring for changes in health or mobility
- Coordinating therapy, wellness activities, and nutrition to support recovery or ongoing health goals
- Adjusting care plans as needs evolve
Our process reflects the philosophy shared in our assisted living care guide, that care should be as dynamic and unique as the individual receiving it.
Collaboration With Specialists and Families
Tailored senior care is most effective when it’s built collaboratively. We engage directly with each resident’s healthcare team, including cardiologists, neurologists, physical therapists, and other specialists.
For families, we maintain open lines of communication, offering regular updates and inviting their input on adjustments to care.
When family members can’t be physically present, our team becomes their eyes and ears. This partnership ensures that residents receive the same level of advocacy and attention they would from loved ones, a commitment rooted in Our Promise.
The Role of Family and Resident Advocacy in Care Planning
At The Kensington Reston, personalized assisted living is not just about following a checklist, it’s about creating an environment where every resident’s voice is heard.
Our clinical concierge team acts as both advocate and collaborator, ensuring that care decisions reflect the resident’s wishes and lifestyle.
For residents with family nearby, we host regular care meetings so everyone stays informed and can contribute to the evolving plan.
For those without immediate family, our team becomes that steady advocate, attending specialist appointments, communicating directly with physicians, and making sure recommendations are understood and implemented.
This advocacy builds trust and empowers residents to take an active role in their own well-being. As highlighted in our decision-making in senior living guide, maintaining autonomy and involvement is key to long-term happiness and health.
Building the Foundation: Comprehensive Assessments
Every new resident receives a thorough health and lifestyle assessment before moving in. We look beyond medical history to understand daily routines, favorite activities, and personal goals. This allows us to align care strategies with what matters most to the resident.
The information we gather helps determine:
- Medication schedules
- Dietary preferences and restrictions
- Fall prevention strategies
- Cognitive engagement activities
- Social opportunities tailored to personality and interests
These assessments mirror best practices in geriatric care, as supported by research on aligning care with personal values and goals.
Adapting Care for Complex Needs
Some residents come to us with high-acuity needs, such as advanced Parkinson’s, congestive heart failure, or memory loss. Others arrive after a hospital stay requiring rehabilitation before returning to full independence. Our team adapts each plan to address immediate challenges while planning for future changes.
For example:
- A resident with cardiac concerns might have a care plan that integrates rehabilitation services with modified dining menus and monitored exercise programs.
- A resident with early cognitive changes may join The Kensington Club for structured brain-stimulating activities and benefit from regular health checks.
Integrating Wellness and Enrichment
Medical care is only one part of a thriving lifestyle. Our clinical concierge approach incorporates emotional and social well-being into every care plan. This can include:
- Access to life enrichment programs such as art workshops, music therapy, and discussion groups
- Encouraging participation in fitness classes designed for varying mobility levels
- Scheduling social outings that align with personal interests
The result is care that heals the whole person, body, mind, and spirit.
Luxury Amenities That Enhance Everyday Life
At The Kensington Reston, personalized assisted living goes hand in hand with an elevated lifestyle.
Beyond exceptional medical support, residents enjoy gourmet, chef-prepared dining served all day, complete with seasonal menus and accommodations for personal preferences.
Our elegantly designed suites provide comfort and privacy, while shared spaces like the sunlit living rooms, landscaped gardens, and on-site full-service salon and spa create opportunities to relax and feel at home.
Daily life is enriched through curated cultural and social programs, including art classes, music performances, wine tastings, and outings to local landmarks like Lake Anne Plaza and the Reston Town Center.
These luxury touches transform everyday living into an experience of comfort, connection, and joy, ensuring that each resident thrives not only in health but also in happiness.
Communication That Builds Trust
One of the most valued aspects of our personalized approach is transparent communication.
Residents and families receive regular updates on care progress and any recommended changes.
Our events calendar also offers educational sessions where families can learn more about health management, dementia care, and other relevant topics.
This openness fosters trust and ensures everyone involved in the resident’s care is on the same page.
Continuity Through Every Stage
A truly personalized care plan evolves with the resident. At The Kensington Reston, we offer the ability to transition between care levels, from assisted living to memory care, without leaving the community.
This continuity preserves familiar surroundings and relationships, easing the stress of change for both residents and their families.
