Testimonials
Testimonials
Recently I stayed in Kensington for convalescence care, I found the staff very helpful and friendly.
The facility was very user friendly with four lounge dining areas and two dining rooms, the meals are cooked on site and menu to meet your requirements.
The activity programme gave residents plenty of choice with the new exercise circuit and fine dining by invitation for special occasions made you feel special.
The staff were great and happy to meet your care needs a credit to Jane Morgan Manager.
