Best caregivers for my wife I could have imagined

I placed my wife in a memory care facility for the final 9 months of her 10 year struggle with Alzheimer's. After much research into my options in the Washington DC area, I chose Arden Courts of Kensington. I am so glad I did, and cannot speak highly enough about our experience there. First, the quality and kindness of the caregivers was extraordinary. Many had been working there for 10, 20, even 30 years - which speaks highly for Arden's retention record. The caregivers truly treated my wife and all others from what I observed as family. Arden maintains an open door policy for residents' visitors: family can visit any time 24/7, unannounced. You never feel that your resident is receiving special attention simply because the facility was expecting you - the facility never knew when I'd show up. The layout of the facility was great; the place was clean and well-supplied; the on site health care was very good. And the front office, especially [name removed], was terrific.

The first and only place I visited

Arden Courts was the first and only place I visited while searching for a memory care facility for my wife. I knew right away that it was the place for her. Two things impressed me: the experience of the staff and the design and layout of the facility. Most of the staff have been there for years which tells me they are treated well and in turn treat the residents well. But they go beyond just caring for the residents, they really get to know them. The design and layout of the facility shows that a lot of thought went into it. Lots of open spaces and natural light. We loved sitting in the sun out in the courtyard. I couldn't have chosen a better place.

Not what I expected

My mom hasn't been in other memory care facilites, but her brief stay there was average. Staff was ok, one or two people that were main contacts and very helpful. others were not as available or willing to provide responses and seemed like you were bothering them. No clear answers on her eating or hygiene; couldn't get her TV working because of their new internet (and was caught by surprise). Knew she was safe there, but she was struggling and I think the facility could be more accommodating and engaging.

Really happy here

My heart is at ease knowing my dad is well taken care of at Arden Courts Kensington. Sheila went above and beyond to help us get him settled, and all the staff treat him with dignity and respect. I love that I can always find him participating in the day’s activities. Overall, I feel really lucky to have found this place!

Caring staff engage residents and keep them well cared for

I had been worried about moving mum into a memory care facility. I have been so pleasantly surprised about how positive our experience has been at Arden Courts. She gets better care here than she had been before we moved here when we were bringing in a private aid multiple times a day. The staff engage with her, ensure she is clean, encourage her to participate in activities and take meals in the dining room, and they really take the time to learn about her preferences and needs. The on-site physical therapist is a dream, interacting with and looking out for all the residents, whether or not they are her patients. When I walk around I often see a staff member hanging out with a table of residents after a mealtime engaging them in conversation or encouraging residents to participate in activities. The approach of having small neighborhoods in the facility works well, with residents becoming very familiar with each other and with the staff. It’s very familial, which is very healthy.

Outstanding! Excellent Across the Board!

A cut above the rest! Do not make a final selection on a memory community for your loved one until you check out Arden Courts, Kensington. Initial intake efforts are from woman who is the most caring and competent of professionals you could meet. She is the tip of the “iceberg” that reveals an amazingly long-serving team of leaders with over 20 years at Arden Courts, Kensington. The Dockside staff, the facilities and maintenance team, nursing team, meals and nutrition team, administrative staff, activities and events coordinators, all work together like a well-oiled machine. Collectively they understand memory loss and help families to feel supported through the trauma of slow motion loss. The combination of team efforts works quite effectively to bring moments of joy to the residents each day. All staff post on site if a severe storm threatens, particularly in the winter, to ensure that each shift is fully covered. That is one of many ways the staff dedication is quite tangible!

Best memory care

Do not look anywhere else! I am so happy with Arden Kensington. I was in town for the St Patrick’s day party and loved seeing so many happy families, and young volunteers. Everyone is so warm and friendly. I love always seeing the same staff when I am in town.

This place is run with love and care

I usually volunteer at Arden Courts to do my service hours and every time I go I am well taken care of. I have a great time playing games with residents and connecting with them. Volunteering at Arden Courts of Kensington has been a deeply rewarding and enriching experience. The staff creates a warm, respectful, and supportive environment for every resident, and it’s clear that their care goes far beyond basic needs they treat each individual with compassion and dignity. The facility is thoughtfully designed for individuals with memory care needs, and it's evident how much attention has been paid to creating a safe, engaging, and comforting space. Whether I was helping with daily activities, engaging residents in conversation, or assisting during group programs, I always felt that my time was making a meaningful difference.

So Happy With Our Choice

I know there are a lot of choices for memory care, hands down Arden Courts Kensington is the Best! From the moment we walked in and met with [name removed] we knew. She introduced us to several staff members.They were all smiling and had been there for many years. Low staff turnover really makes a difference. Kensington is truly the “Goat”
