Exceptional Assisted Living

“There is nothing more
beautiful than someone who
goes out of their way to make
life beautiful for others.”
– Mandy Hale

Exceptional Assisted Living Community in Reston, VA

A caring, loving assisted living community designed to enrich seniors’ lives. A place where we love and care for your family as we do our own. 

Why The Kensington Reston?

The Kensington Reston is located on Sunrise Valley Drive, less than one mile from the Wiehle Reston-East metro station. The community is adjacent to Reston National Golf Course and is within a short drive to Reston Town Center, shops and restaurants at the metro, Lake Thoreau, and Lake Anne Plaza.

At The Kensington Reston, our goal is to build long-lasting, loving care relationships. To achieve this, we create conditions that build trust and strengthen the relationship between each resident and their primary care manager, helping each of our residents to feel comfortable, secure, and respected.

A pivotal part of aging healthfully is staying active and making and nurturing friendships. To that end, we schedule outings 2-3 days a week and keep a full calendar of activity options. A full-time Life Enrichment Manager and Activity Coordinators keep resident schedules as full as they want them to be, while we encourage participation we also support independence. All of this helps create an atmosphere that keeps our residents engaged, improving their long-term wellness and life enrichment.

We invite families to share lunch and dinner with their loved ones in our elegant main dining room. Enjoy gourmet meals prepared by our professionally trained chef and served by waitstaff. Because we love it when our residents have visitors, friends and family always eat for free. 

Remember to mention any dietary needs or preferences. We are happy to accommodate a wide range of special diets including low-sodium, low-sugar, and heart-healthy options. If you’re in search of a favorite snack or lighter fare, refreshments and snacks on-the-go are always available as part of our all-day dining menu and in our well-stocked café.

Helping Your Loved One to Age Comfortably

Familiarity is the cornerstone of of long-term health. We provide this consistency through all phases of our residents’ lives; offering a far wider array of services than more traditional assisted living and memory care residences, including a full spectrum of clinical support and nursing staff on-site 24/7. Our enhanced care program enables residents to continue living with us, even as their health care needs change.

Acuity Care for Specialized Assistance

The Kensington approach encompasses high acuity care levels for various medical conditions that allow residents to age in place.

On-Site Rehabilitation Services

Together we provide the most current, full-service Assisted Living and Memory Care solutions to physical, occupational, and speech therapies.

Taking that focus on familiarity even further, each of our residents receives consistent attention from one individual – their personal care manager. This serves to strengthen the bond between resident and care manager, offering a level of dignity and comfort to the care experience that is often lacking.

Resident Care, The Kensington Way

The Kensington Reston weaves professional care and compassion into every resident’s daily lives and activities. With a high degree of sensitivity, caregivers respect residents’ need for independence, while carefully watching for cues when they need to lend additional support.

A medical director is on call 24/7. Two full-time registered nurses coordinate all aspects of our resident’s nursing and medical care. Also, licensed nurses remain on-site 24 hours a day and offer medication administration.

We strive to help our residents maintain or regain their optimal level of independence as quickly and conveniently as possible. The Kensington Reston offers a variety of programs including physical and occupational therapy, speech therapy and fitness programs tailored to each participant’s needs and ability.

The Kensington offers an ever-changing calendar of events to residents seven days a week, from morning till evening. An active social life is a great way to make the days interesting, but there are benefits to the companionship that reach far beyond keeping busy.

We believe it is as important that our resident’s families, as much as our residents, enjoy the dining experience at The Kensington Reston.

The Kensington Club

Our experience has shown that memory loss is as unique as each resident we serve. Although the progression of decline is often predictable, its pace and how it affects individuals are not. So, we strive to “catch” telltale symptoms as early as possible and then take immediate, personalized steps to preserve existing cognitive ability.

That’s why we have The Kensington Club, our unique early-stage memory care program for new and current assisted living residents experiencing mild changes in cognition. It features a strong relationship-based focus, peer support, sensory movement and family participation. Our professionally trained team provides individualized support that increases resident confidence, comfort and trust.
