About Kensington Court
Alden Kensington Court has been well established in the Nelson community for over 20 years. Our village offers a range of affordable choices including well-appointed independent villas, apartments and studios, set in park-like gardens.
One of the benefits of living at Kensington Court Village is the ability to choose a support service if and when you require further assistance. Services available are: meals, bedmaking, housekeeping, general staff support, laundry and personal care.
Our residents enjoy a well managed and every changing activities programme which provides companionship and lots of fun. Residents also have access to a hairdresser, podiatrist and physiotherapist who visit regularly.
At some stage in our lives we may require more assistance in our day to day living. Our wealth of experience in other stages of care means our team can advise you on your options and how it all works. We are here to help and assure you through the stages.

Mythbusting - Retirement Villages are a rip-off
Why it’s considered a worthwhile investment.
NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who 'buy' into a retirement village. If you intend to 'purchase' you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.
In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
